...passengers, 450 second, and 450 third-paying about $500,000 in fares -sailed on the great liner. Among the more prominent were Albert D.

Mr. Longworth, in the House the other day, pointed out that England had met 20 percent of her war expenditures by taxes; France and Italy each about 16 percent; Russia and Germany not more than 10 or 11 percent. The United States, on the basis of these reduced war expenditures, will be raising 45 percent through taxes. This does not, of course, include loans to the Allies. Neither does it include the larger estimate of the yield...
