One of the grimmest incident ever
flaahed on the ecreen la ahown in Wil
liam 8. Hart'a picture, "The Gun Fight

theater today.
The cumulative point of iotereat In
thia tenae atory ia ahown when Hart
meeta hia long-hated adversary face to
face. The feud of hate calls for the
deAifci tl toae, Mod, fret. 4n agreement
with the atrange chiralrlc code of the
early days of the weat, Hart even
though be baa hia enemy at hia mere?,
ia impelled to give him a chance 'for hia

thrilling duels that haa ever been filmed
or enacted on the apeaking atuge.
The two men, according to the code,
are placed back to back and are to ad

turn and fire. The manner in which
thla acent la played la aald to be one
of tha finest examplea of austaincd dra
matic effect aver offered. The men
atar to measure off their alloted ten
snares, alowly and deliberately; there ia
no taste, no attempt to hurry the atep.
It ia all inevitable aa a Greek tragedy.

NEW OFFICIAL WAR
PICTHTO APPEAR
AT THEATERS SOON
Release Date of "America's
Answer" Announced by Com
mittee of Pubic Information
as October 14.
TURNEDJIOFWAH;
Yankee Fighters Broke Ger-
many's Spirit Is Assertion of
Senator Lewis.
An announcement of unuaual interest
to patriotic motion 'picture patrons
throughout the United States baa just
been made by the Division of Films,
committee on public information, of
which' George Creel is chairman. "Amer
ica'a Answer," the second in the aeriea
of "Following the Flag to France" war
pictures, which was first ahown at the
George M. Cohan' theater in New York,
and baa since created remarkable entbu
aiaam in Boaton, Philadelphia, Chicago
and other big cities, will be releaaed for
diatribution to the motion picture houses
of the entire country October 14. The
World Film corporation haa been ae'
lected aa tbe medium for distributing
th;a important government film.
This, however, ia not the only inter
eating fact in connection with the release
of the new United Statea official pic
ture. A plan haa been evolved by which
even the smallest among the motion pic
ture theaters can present "America'a
Answer" at a coat in keeping with its
income, and without "raising ita pricea
to the public. Tbe regular admisaion
price at the theater where the picture
is shown is the price that will be
charged and no more. Thia will be
distinct gain to the public.
Undoubtedly a great deal of interest
haa been arouaed in "America'a Anawer"
and tbe desire to aee this eompr-hensive
official picture ia universal. This inter
est baa been aroused and accentuated
in the amaller eitiea by tbe reception it
baa received in the important centers
of population. Milliona of Americana
have a legitimate deaire to know just
how tbe billions of dollars raised for the
prosecution of the war have been ex
pended. "America'a Answer" is a cocj'
prehensive reply to this query. It shows
in an aatonishing way what baa been
accomplished behind the lmea In Franc
and also ahowa America'a fightera on
the battlefront. In New York and else
where soldiers were recognized on the
screen, night after night, and were the
occasion of many a thrill for paren's
and aweethearta. This ia one of the
waya in wb-h the official films get very
close to tbe people.
The announcement that "America'
Anawer" will shortly be aeen in the
smaller eitiea and in the popular-price
motion picture houaee la good news.

Fondness of Doughboys for
Water Surprising to French
Paria. Aug. 18 (By Mail.) Next to
licking Germane, the chief aim among
Perahing'a men in France seems to be
keeping clean. Doughboya never pass
up an opportunity to take a bath. One
of tbe chief articlea in every marching
kit ia a bar of aoap, and whenever the
men can find a creek or river or pond,
they make vigoroua use of it.
The Americana' fondness for water
ia a constant aource of astonishment to
French peaaanta, and aome of tbe peaa
anta are aatounded to learn that the
Americana actually drink tbe atuff.
To help make tbe doughboya aafe
from "cootlea," the Y. M. C- A. haa Juat
contracted for 1,800,000 bora f aoap
for tbe canteens near the front.

SENATE BEGINS REVISION
WORK ON WAR TAX BILL
(Continued from page one)
Invested capital, to TO per ccut on prof
its in excess of 20 per cent on invested
capital.
Alternative Feature Opposed.
The alternative feature of this plan
is roundly condemned by most members
of the senate committee, who declare
that if two plans can be legislated into a
bill, a dozen or 30 could just as well be
provided. The more kinds of altertative
tajc there ore. they argue, the more loop
holes tire provided for escaping tax that
should be paid.
There was some discussion over the
following chnnges:
The war profits 80 to 100 per cent and
excess profits 60, any concern that made
both war and excels profits to pay both
taxes, while th so not making war prof
its pay only the excess profits tax.
Put a flat tax of from eight to 15 per
cent on ail business, regardltcs of wheth
er profile are due to the war or not, the
rnte of taxation to be determined by the
percentage of profits m the taxable year
as compared with profits in three-prewar
years; no business to have any ex
emptions of any kind.
lucres e present excess profits taxes.
Profit. Tax to Remain.
Senator Borah, leader of ihe wraith
conscription group, who last session
urged the Imposition of. a heavy war
profits tax, predicted today that what
ever plan is finally agreed on, the SO per
cent tax on war profits would be In the
bill as finally enacted.
The luxury taxes seem likely to re
main largely as fixed in the house bill.
They range from 10 to 20 per cent on
various articles denominated I ixurics and
semi-luxuries.
An effort will be made, to reduce the
liquor tax of $S a gallon to $5 on the
ground that the higher rate will make
withdrawal of whisky from bond for site
slower than if the tax was smaller.
As the bill passed the house it is es
timated it will raise in round figures
100,000,000. Of this, $3,2(0,000.000 is
to come from war and excess profits;
$2,377,000,000 from incomes; and from
all other sources, in hiding liquor, es
tates and luxuries $2,523,000,000.
