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.

When the V'aterland, pride of the German merchant 'marine, reached
New York on its tirst voyage it attracted intense interest in shipping
circles.
It' was the. latest, finest, most magnificently, appointed creation of
marine architecture. 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. .
"It is a veritable floating palace for voyagers to Luropc, .said one of
its officers, "but that is not the best or the most important thing about the
Vaterland." ' " '

"Come below," said he, "and I will
show you." "
Below went the whole party, and
there he showed them how every
detail of its plan had been devised so
as to facilitate its quick conversion
into a troop-carrying 6hip, with ca
pacity for 10,000 soldiars.
Carried 96,804 Soldiers.
" "That" is' the best and Vno.it' im
portant thing about the Vaterland,"
he said. -"In a remarkably short
time, it need arises, we can make it a
troop transport."
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

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

. 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.

FUTURE SUBSCRIPTIONS SECOND PAYMENTS
In some cases club members will find friends who would be glad to help them;
but are now paid in advance for some other paper and do not want two papers tit
the same time. In order that the club member may secure this subscription, we have
.arrange to accept and issue vote credit to cover the payment and will hold the
subscriber's credit on our books until the paper is desired by the subscriber.
During the early part of the campaign some of your friends may have given
you short time (3 or 6-month) subscriptions, thinking you did not have the "stick
ing qualities" necessary to win. Now that you can show them that you are out to
win, go back at them to double or treble their order. The following inducement is
offered. You will note by looking over the list of Vote Values of Subscriptions,
that the two-year subscription counts proportionately for more votes than for a
year and that a six months' subscription counts for more than one for three months.
Now, still looking at the list of vote values in the list offer, you will find that
a three-month subscription, costing $2.55 gave you a credit of 12,000 votes. If you
get this subscriber to extend this to a six-month subscription by giving you another

" a credit for 20,000 votes. In other words where you get a person who has already
given some member a short period subscription to give you a further one, it will
count for more yotes than the original one. This will apply whether you or any other
member secured the first subscription.
