THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY, MAT 17, 1921. Omaha Man to Ask Repeal of Present Tax on Insurance Thomas W. Blackburn to Ap pear before Senate Finance jConnnittee in Washing Ion on Tuesday. Washington, May 16.-r-Aftcr sev eral days o hearings devoted chictly to the' sales tax, the senate finance committee this week will take up other phases ot the revenue, prob lem. -It is planned to continue the, hearings for two or possioiy inree weeks longer. .. , , Witnesses expected to be litard to dav include C. C. Hance of In (iianapolis, chairman of the taxation committee of the Nalfonal Automo bile Chamber of Commerce; 11. Archibald Harris, public accountant of Chicago, and F. E. Seidman of (jrand Rapiris, Mien. On Tuesday representatives of number of leading insurance com panies will be present to urgs me re peal of the present insurant tax. . The witnesses will include Thomas W. Blackburn of Omaha and C. H. i) -c r-u. ...., Althoueh a considerable number' of witnesses have appeared dunrtg the past week in support ot a salef tax, the impression given at the hearings has been that a majority df the committee will not favor it. Senator Smoot of Utah is the one member who is actively for a turn over tax of 1 per cent. Senator Watson of Indiana has .shown an -inclination toward a sales tax. No other republican has in dicated a pronounced view in favor of a sales tax. ': Penrose Undecided. Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, the chairman, has appeared unde cided with a probably leaning against it. Most of the democrats have seemed to be against the; sales tax, some of them being" inclined to de lend the excess profits tax. That the majority of the commit tee will favor the repeal of the ex cess profits tax is. unquestioned, al though the representatives' of the American Farm Bureau federation urged its retention. The issue rela tive to the sales tax has developed not so much on the question of whether it shpuld be the substitute ' for the excess profits tax as on the question of iwhether it should be used to replace the miscellaneous excess tax, ' .as well, as "the excess profits tax. '?, Ihe excess prohts tax, it has Deen estimated, wilUyield during the next fiscal. year, only . $450,000.00Q while the miscellaneous-excise ' taxes, which many organizations propose to repeal, will yield $900,000,000. or more. The lowest estimate as to the vield of a 1 per cent turnover tax is $1,500,000,000, some claiming it will yield $2,000,000,000 or more. The sales tax thus would make possible the repeal both of the excess profits tax 1 and the miscellaneous excise taxes The strongest support for the sales tax has come from those wish ing to get rid of some of the excise taxes.

Conscious of the achievement of their country, and glorying in the attention it had evoked, the Vatcrland's officers gave a dinner, and invited to it prominent shipbuilders, constructors and engineers, as well as other leading citizens. .

He was right. i ' 'i.Wfr provedjie' w,as right. Between the1 dafeloP'our entry into the war and, the armistice, the Vater land, its name 'changed to the Levia than, carried " 96,804 soldiers to Europe; German foresight and skill in designing this monster liner con tributed materially to the 'success of the biggest transportation, job in his torythe greatest movement of armed men over such a distance that the world , has ever seen. It -as- true the Germans did their best,, when they- realized the use to which their 'iniglityv vessel .might be put;v,td '.block our employment of it. The blans" for "conversion, which had been all worked out: most carefully, and which were -among the ship's papers when it first came to New York, were spirited away. We had to make our own plans, but that was done without any great delay. They took the greatest pains- to prevent our using any of the Ger man vessels. Before we got pos session of them, their engines and machinery were so badly damaged by their crews that the Germans thought they could never be re paired in time to get into the war. American experts estimated that repairs would require from one to two years. But the navy, by using electric welding and other new methods, repaired them in ,a few months, and all were carrying American troops or . supplies before the end of 1917. This was a triumph of American ingenuity and engi neering skill. I Ships Carried 557,488 Men. The interned German ships, which we appropriated and rechristened with American names, carried to Europe 557,488 men. The list of these ships, with their, original and their new names, and the number of men each carried, is worth pre serving as a . record of one of the most extraordinary "instances "' in history of how a great .nation may be hastened to its .downfall through instrumentalities which it ha'd con structed for" .its own aggrandize ment.

'" Goodby That was not overstating it, in any particular. No nation in his tory had ever attempted to trans port so huge and army overseas. It would have been difficult enough under the most ideal conditions, with nothing to hinder or molest. Were Anxious Days. Words can hardly express the strain fit those anxious days when those ships of the first convoys car rying 12,000 troops were running the gantlet to France; or our relief when we received the news that they had all arrived safe at St." rsiavairc. Sailing in a dense fog on June 14, 1917, the first group arrived June 26, the last, the cargo ships, on July 2. The first group Admiral Gleaves reported, was attacked by submarines the night of June 22, at 10:15 p. m.; the second group en countered two, .and a torpedo was fired at the fourth group on June 29. That they had escaped the subT marines was an added cause for re joicing. Not a ship was damaged or a man injured and an officer re ported to Admiral Gleaves: "We didn't lose . but one horse, and that a mule." Had to Work Fast. Getting that first group of trans ports together was a job- The army had only a few troop ships, none of them fit for transatlantic service. The navy had only three the Hen derson, just completed; the Han cock, and the former German com merce raider, Prinz Eitel Friedrich; which we converted into an auxili ary cruiser and renamed the DeKalb. The army secured 14 mail and cargo steamships, and hastily convertea them. It had to be ouick work. We had not contemplated send intr trooos so soon. From a mili tary standooint it would have been better, so some experts declared, to have retained the regulars tor a while to aid in training the new of ficers and raw recruits, and not to have begun transportation until we had a larger army. But war-weary Farnce, grimly holdincr hack the Germans, and Eng land, beset by submarines, needed cheering up; needed visible -evidence that reinforcement was certain, that the Americans were coming. Mar shal Joffre asked that some troops be sent at the earliest possible mo ment "a, regiment or two; if pos sible a division." He told Secretary Baker that he looked forward to the . day when the United States should build up its "splendid army of 400,000 or 500,000." Pershing Called From Border. Secretary Baker immediately be gan his preparations to send troops, General Pershing - was chosen to command the forces to be sent to Europe, and was summoned from the Mexican boder May 7. The brief telegram sent him is of such historic, interest that I think you would like to see how it read: No. 1 DIOD 45 GOVT. ' Dl Washington, D. C, May 7, 1917. Maj. Gen., John J. Persh ing. Ft. Sam Houston, Tex., No. 6719: Repair to this city at once and report to chief staff for con sultation and on completion duty return to" proper station. Travel directed necessary in military serv ice. By order secretary war. . McCain 9:12 A. M. I devoted considerable thought to selecting the officer to " command this expedition, for he was also, if he made good, to have general direc tion of the vast task of troop trans portation, I selected Read Admiral Albert Gleaves, then in command of our destroyer force, and I never had reason to regret this choice. No man could have' done a big job bet ter; no job was ever better done. From this small h built up the great cruiser and trans port force which took to France 911,047 American soldiers, and brought home 1,700,000 a total of 2,600,000 carried across the Atlantic. In less than a year it grew to a fleet of 24 cruisers and 42 troop ships, and after the armistice comprised 149 vessels carrying troops with fa cilities for 13,914 officers and 349,770 men. Transporting 2,000,000 United States troops to France was such an immense . undertaking that all the shipping we ccould get, American as well as foreign, was employed. This has led to no little controversy as io how they were carried over. Of the 194,965 troops which sailed before the end of 1917, 113,429 wcrt carried in 'American vessels, all but 8.535 of these in our transports, and 75,480 were taken in British ships. In January, February and March, 1918, British vessels carried 57,399 Foreign shipping in large . quantity did not become available until after the famous "March drive" made by the Germans in 1918. Then the most important thing to all the allies was getting Americans to Europe, and British, Frencli and Italian ships in numbers were"furnished us. British Beat U. S. in May. In April, I9F8, 67,553 sailed in United States transports, 47,862 in British ships. In May the British carried more than we did. 135,795 to our 99,561, besides, 12.127 carried in Italian vessels leased by the British. In the next five months up to the armistice, though we carried 520,410 in naval transports and 28,973 in other American ships, Britinsh ves sels carried 692,931; British leased Italian ships 53,488, and ' French, Italian and other foreign ships, 32,218.. The records of the cruiser and transport force show that, in all, 2,079,880 American troops were transported to France before the armistice 952,58b. in American ves sels, 911,047 of these in United States naval transports; 1,006,987 in British sliips, 68,246 in British-leased 'Ital ian vessels and 52,066 in Frertch, Italian and other freign ships. American vessels carried. 46.25 per cent, 43.73 of this in United States naval transports; British vessels, 48.25 per cent; British-leased Italian ships, 3 per cent; French, Italian and others, 2.5 per cent. Navy Escorted 82.75 Per Cent. But this is only half the story. The purely naval duly was that of es corting these vessels, guarding them against attack by raiders or sub marines. Of this; the British navy performed 14.125 per cent, the French 3.125 and the United States navy 82.75. Of this total number of troops, 61.617" were under French escort, 297,903 under British escort and 1.720.360 sailed under the escort of the United States navy.
