June 6. The rec ommendation that one third of the $34,000,000,000 estimated expendi tures for 1919 be raised br taxation was made today by Secretary McAdoo to Chairman Kitthin of the bouse and ways and means committee. Other recommendations of .Mr. Mc Adoo were that a war profits tax at a hislt rate be superimposed upon exiting -excess profits taxes: that heavy taxation be imposed on luxur ies and that an increase be made over the normal rate on unearned incomes. ' The suggestions were given in re sponse to a letter from Mr. Kitchin. and constituted an outline of the treasury's ideas not only of taxation to meet the nation's huge war ex penses in the future, but of prepar ing the way for floating of additional billions of liberty bonds. . Increasing the rate of normal taxes on incomes, from which liberty bonds are exempt, said the secretary, will tend to make ; the bonds better investments and to permit them to compete with indus trials and municipal securities bear ing higher rates of interest.

TROOPS TRAIN FOR BIG PUSH INTO HUN LINE Americans in Camps on This Side Ready to JLelp in Com ing Allied Drive MEN ARE HARDENED Trench Education Neglected While Long Marches Are Practised Frequently WASHINGTON" June 6. Ameri can troops In training-at borne are being especially j schooled ' now in preparation for the forward move ment of the allied armies expected to follow the ultimate crushing of Germany's offensive power. 'It was learned today that, orders have been issued to division commanders to lay greater stress upon training for open warfare and reduce the time devoted to teaching trench specialties. The men . are being hardened to long marches, given target practice without endand thoroughly trained to take care oL themselves in "the give and take' of open combat. Military observers say this change In the midst of the - greatest, effort of the German, general staff of the entire, war speaks significantly of the spirit of confidence that pervades the councils and armies of America and the allies. , When many of the men now tn training here reach France, long marches and swift maneuvering against a retreating foe ' may well be the order of the. day. , , Jafluentiai officers returning from the front have been insisting recent ly upon greater attention to general elements of warfare and less to the fine details of position fighting in fixed trench lines. These officers say the American soldier takes naturally to training of. this sort and that he should be developed as highly as possible In all round soldiering, leav ing the details of trench warfare ed ucation to be added by a brief pest graduate, course when be reaches France. This view found ready sym pathy hero. Tor it is believed the old stalemate of the trench lines has been broken, never to be restored. . .
