HUS EIHBBIIIC TOSAVEMTMS QUARTER OF MILLION TROOPS RUSHED TO BULGARIA TO GUARD ORIENT RAIWAY. Germany Making Desperate Effort to Prevent Turkey From Deserting the Kaiser' Army of Women and Baby Butchers, London. Germany, if reports from a neutral center can be relied upon, ia going to mtiko a great effort to main-tain communication over the Orient railway with Turkey, und thus hopes to keep her eastern ally in the war. Turkey, cut off from Germany, has not the manpower to protect the two gaps through which the allies ure threatening the Ottoman empire, at the heurt and south of the Taurus mountains. The peace demonstrations at Con-stantinople, led by Talaat Pasha and backed by a tremendous force of pub-lic opinion, are forcing the issue. Only the Turkish first and second armies are available for the defense of Constantinople. According to a Haj?ue dispatch to the Central News, 250,000 German and Auatro-Hungarla- n troops have arrived at Sofia from Rumania and while part of these will remain In Sofia as an ar-gument favoring the overthrow of the Mallnoff .government, the majority will endeavor to keep the allied troops from the Orient railway which Joins Oermany and Austria with Constanti-nople, the capture of which was a few years ago hailed as the greatest achievement of the central powers. The removal of troops from Ru-mania, however, Is not without danger. A few weeks ago, when appealed to by his collengues on the western front, for assistance, Field Marshal Von Mackensen reported that conditions In Kuinunla did not warrant the transfer of a single soldier to that country. Now Rumanians are predicting that if the Rumanian army does not rejoin the allies, there will be at least a rising In that country which will com-pletely nullify the Bucharest treaty so fur as It provides for the revlctuulllug of the central powers. Oerninn papers, too, express sus-picion of the crown council held Sun-dn- y ostensibly for a discussion of the crown prince's marriage, but at which other matters miht be discussed. The presence at this council of Bratinno, who Is strongly for the allies. Is strongly commented upon by the German press. ; BOYS TAKE HOLD lil GOOD OLD AMERICAN WAY, SOLDIER SAYS Hardships Ignored, Wounded Man Tells Mother Don't Let Them Hinder Your War Work By Mr. Hazel Pedlar Faulkner From a hospital somewhere In Prance a wounded American has writ-ten to his parents: "We are going through hardships, but the boys are taking hold In tha good old American way." What a message for those of ua who have remained at home! What a challenge to the vast army of men and women who are 1 In the home guard, carrying on in the thousand and one ways that the exigencies of war have brought upon ue. "We are going through hardships." We can believe that, when we re-call the dauntless charges which our boys have been making over there, and the daily lengthening casualty lists which are resulting from their fearless devotion to the task that la set before them. We know they are going througo hardships, when we atop to think of the hundreds upon hundreds who" are wounded, and who for the time be tag at least need care and attention, FIENDISH ENEMY ADDS TERRORS Of c am they are going threuga hardshtps, those boys from your home and mine. Hardships are a part of war. They are the mevtuMe result of state of war. And whea war is waged by an enemy so skilled In all the fiendish deviltries la which the Germans have indulged, they are the Inescapable portion of every soldier participating. - But hardships are not the part of the war these soldiers of ours are thinking most about. They are' but the incidents In the day's work. "The boys are taking hold in the good old American way." Could there be a better statement of their manner of facing what comes to them? Could there be a more det In He course of action prescribed for those of us at home daring these days which test the mettle of our souls? The time for our message to the boys has come again. The Fourth Liberty Loan is to be our response to this wounded soldier's challenge. MAKE YOUR ANSWER NOW Are we going to take hold In the "good old American way?" We have net had to go through hardships, ours have beea an easier part. We have known little of sacri-fice or deprivation. Compared with the offering of our boys, we have done nothing as yet. And now, here la the challenge sounded to us. The good old American way is all that Is asked of us. What is that way? You must frame the answer, moth era and sisters of the west. Yours is an Important part in the reply which the nation will make to the boys overseas. There is not one of us who would not spare her son if she could yes, even spare some other mother's son the pain and hardship he must bear. We are not asked to do that We could not, though we would. But we can make his part easier to bear, we can go with him through the hardships, by lending completely of our money. There is no longer need to explain what a Liberty Loan is. There is no more necessity for pointing out reasons for participation In it. This Is the day when hut to hesr its call is to insure its heartiest support September 28th is the date set for our concerted reply through the Fourth Liberty Lean. Let us take hold In "the good old American way." What Is the very most you can do to make that advance a smashing suc-cess like the boys over there are maklug? KNIGHT BILLS " I'll BEJEBUILI The Knight Woolen Mills directors held a special meeting Tuesday af-ternoon for the consideration of re-building the pert of the plant which was destroyed by fire, July 29. The members of the board in attendance were President Jesse Knight, E. P. Ellison, of 'Layton; David tA. Smith, of Salt iLake; T. N. Taylor, and W. Lester Mangum. Manager John Smith, member of the bulidlng committee reported the result of his recent visit to Washington where he west ij; the purpose of contening with govern-ment representatives or. the matter of obtaining a loan for building pur-poses. Mr. Smith reported that the war finance corporation will advance $200,000 for building purposes on the note or otifer evidence of Indebted-ness, being endorsed by President Knight, personally. The loan is to run for five years, at such rate 61 interest, probably 5 to 6 per cent, as tho finance corporation may determ-ine. Mr. Knight agreed to this and a letter was sent Tuesday afternoon accepting the proposal of the finance corporation. It is expected this will result In the required money being available at an early date.- Aa soon as it ia secured plans for rebuilding will be consider-ed and when adopted the work of building will be started and completed as' rapidly aa possible and eventually placed, or other arrangements made for machinery and equipment B. Y. U. STUDENTS iwpjfiiy Quite a furor ha3 been set in mo-tion by a telegram sent to all the ' western schools including tho rig- - ham Young University, the State Un-iversity and the State Agricultural College of Utah. This telegram " states that members of the Students Army Training Corps were Improperly i ' !nd.:ct'.d into these organizations aud ' that an official Induction sjpost be "JW held before these men can be given rations and uniforms. There was quite a scattering last night when this an-nouncement was made among the hundred or more men by Lieut. Join P. Hancock in command of the locai "v S. A. T. C. The boys did not feel that they wanted to pay their board when they could get same at home without ; cost. As a result the majority of ' them loft their quarters at the Maeser , building and went to their homev It is the opinion that these men will have to have their names drawn through the local draft boar iud j , ' their questionnaires filled out before they can be official members and draw their rations and uniforms. The authorities of the University feel that ' this can be arranged so that the stud ents will resume their army life by Monday. The majority of the student are continuing their school work. .:.,.:, 3 r f 1 h 1 , IfI L Motor trucks by the tens of thousands1 hare made the great war different from any other In adding mobility to the opposing armies. .

Peterson, assistant gen-eral manager and secretary of the Big Indian Copper Company, expects the mill, which has been temporarily closed, to resume operation In 50 or sixty days and to work continuously with Increased capacity. Materials for a bigger pipe line and additional tanks have been ordered and will be put In place as soon as received. ' The Working tests, whic'j were L made this summer, demonstrated that the treatment and means of applica-tion are in every way successful and 75 per cent of the copper was saved on the last mill sum. The present equipment admits of treating only from 50 to 60 tons a day, and now that the efficiency of the treatment has been thoroughly tested it was decided to enlarge the capacity to thfextent TSv '' that from 250 to 300 tons a fta can 1 be reated. To do this the chaises and x? additions mentioned will be made. r . ; GRAND CENTRAL POST FOUR CENT DIVIDEND At a directors meeting of the Grand Central Mining Company held here Tuesday forenoon a dividend of four cents a share, $24,000, was posted.

WAR PROFITS TAX AND EXCESS PROFI1S TAX "By a war profits tax we mean a tax upon profits In excess Of those realized before the war, "Dy an excess profits tax we mean a tax upon profits In excess of a given return npon capital. 'The theory of a war profits tax is to tax profits due to the war. "The theory of an excess profits tax Is to tax profits over and above a given return on capital. The excess profits tax falls less heavily on big business than on small business be-cause big business Is generally over-capitalized and small business are of-ten under-capitalize-j "The war profits tax would tax all j war profits at one high rate; t'ue ex cess profits tax does and for safety must tax all excess profits ut lower and praduated rates." The nbovV extract from ; Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo's testimony before the House Ways and ' Means Committee gives his diff orentiutidn between war profits and excess prof-its taxes and explains his position in urging upon Congress an excess prof-its tax in the forthcoming revenue legislation. To the average citizen Secretary MeAdoo's position seems well taken. Most small and local corporations are capitalized at an actual valuation. Many of the very large corporations are grently overcapitalized; tho stock of some of tlirm hs been repeatedly watered. With only an excess prof Its tax a corporation earning 10 per cent on grosKly watered capital will pay tho same tax as another corpor-ation not overcapitalized earning 10 C'i.t on the real, actual valuation .if IV" ri:-!- and proporty l'v.'r-,t"- d in ts hii'iincsH, 'J it. luuiits ui tho first cuhu.ui.oj i.:.t to ,'.'0 per cent on its actual valuation, and It is to cover such cases that a war profits tax Is urged. As many of these large corporations ure ongaped in Government work and drawing huge sums from the rCd States, it seems particularly just that they should pay taxes on tho ame actual basis as corporations not over-capitalized. A tax that taxes equally' a 10 per cent profit on watered capi-tal and a 10 per cent Is not equal and uniform and scarcely Just. Want $2,150 for Wheat In 1919. Washington.
