An impassioned plea for artistic diversion for the soldier from the horrors of the war was made yesterday by Rev.

Dr. William Norman Guthrie, rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church on the Bowery, New York, before the seventh annual convention of the Drama league of America, in session in the William Penn Hotel. "The only thing for the Drama League to do at this time is to give the soldiers artistic diversion," said Dr. Guthrie.

"Forget money and fame and by displaying artistic talents in music and other artistic diversions bring the soldiers to their real senses behind the trenches after they come from the battlefield and the horrors of war which make men insane and dehumanize them." "The greatest thing in the war," he continued, "is not the fighting of the soldiers, but that France has appointed a singer for the soldiers. He goes anywhere in the trenches with a pass presented to him by the government. He composes and sings his own songs as he moves about among the soldiers in the trenches. He sings the insane soldiers back to sanity; he sings men to life that are half dead from the deafening roar of artillery and the awful-ness of the butchery. He is the biggest thing in Europe today.

"That is the duty of the Drama League. See to it that the soldiers get the artistic diversion that they need to be transformed from mad animals into sane humans. Play for the drama and not for pelf-advancement, fame and flattery. When you have done this, you will get to Shakespeare." Other speakers were Percival Chubb of St. Louis, president of the league; J.

Howard Reber of Philadelphia, chairman of the league's committee on the proposal of a national Shakepeare memorial theater and school of acting; Maurice Browne of Chicago; Dr. S. H. Clark, director of the department of public speaking. University of Chicago, and Professor Stark Young of Amherst College.

Charles M. Bregg, dramatic critic, said: "We nave no longer standards of professional dramatic criticism because everybody criticizes. If the public would do some thinking, the dramatic critic would be allowed to do some thinking too." Biggest Check Ever Is Drawn by Morgan NEW YORK, April 26. Twenty cashier's checks for 110,000,000 each passed through the clearing house today, completing the transaction for the transfer of $200,000,000 from the Government of the United States to the government of Great Britain. These checks, payable to J.

P. Morgan were passed out by the Federal reserve bank in return for a check for the full amount deposited by the Morgan firm, soon after Secretary McAdoo of the treasury had handed to the British ambassador in Washington a treasury warrant for the first instalment of the Government loan to Great Britain. The check deposited by Morgan tL'o. is said to be the largest ever drawn. It was written in longhand upon a sheet of white paper 6x8 inches and signed "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, by Sam N.

Lever, financial secretary." The 20 510,000,000 checks were deposited by Morgan Co. at various banks and trust companies.

THEATER MEMORANDA Much interest is manifested in William FavershanVs presentation of "(Jetting Married" by Bernard Shaw, coming to the Alvin Theater next week Henrietta Crosman.

"Twenty Thousand i Under the Sea." will be at lh I'i'ii Theater next ilonday afternoon Ways and Means Committee to Get Draft of Measure Not Later Than Monday. $1,500,000,000 PROVIDED I April 26. A tentative bill for raifinp war revenues during the coming year probably will be reported to- the ways and means committee not i later than Monday by the sub-commit- tee drafting the measure. The list of suggestions submitted by Secretary Mc- Adoo for the information of Congress I Is expected to be followed closely, i though it is said to be unlikely that it will contain provisions for retroactive income and excess profits taxes, con- sumption taxes or tariff changes. Present indications are that the bill will carry items totaling only about $1,500,000,000.

The secretary's suggestions would have brought in $1,800,000,000, I which, it was thought, would meet half the expenses of the first year of the war. Three or four weeks may be spent in deliberation on the bill in full commit- tee. Provision for obtaining a.ll money immediately needed already has been I made, and the committeemen are in- clined to take their time about formulat- I ing a fair revenue bill. COMMITTEE IN ACCORD. While no final vote has been taken on any proposal now before the sub-com-1 mittee, its members are virtually agreed on ail features except income and excess profits taxes.

These are causing much discussion and the sub-committee did not meet today. In order to give its I experts an opportunity to prepare statistics on excess profits for presentation tomorrow. There has been a great deal of argument over whether the income tax exemption shall be lowered to 1.000 for single and $1,500 or $2,000 for married persons, from the present figures, $3,000 and $4,000. Most members of the sub-. committee are understood to be willing to lower the exemption for single persons to $1,000 if the full committee deems it advisable, but they are at loggerheads on the figure for married persons.

Some maintain that married persona should be allowed $1,000 greater exemption than, single, white others are holding out for only $500. The excess profits tax presents quite as great a problem. Whether there shall be a flat tax on all profits or a continuation of the present excess profits tax plan, with a raised rate, has not been decided. It was said tonight, however, that there was a strong likelihood of the latter plan prevailing. AUTO TAX CONSIDERED.

Plans for taxing automobiles now receiving close attention would provide for a five per cent tax on the factory cost. At-this rate it is estimated $75,000,000 could he raised during the coming year. A tax on railroad and Pullman car tickets, to be paid by the purchaser, appears to be assured. One great general problem with which the sub-committee now is struggling is that of providing more taxes wmcn can be placed on wealth and not passed on to the consumer. If the consuming class is not to pay the greater portion of the taxes, it Is declared, some new method of taxation must be devised.

Some com-I mitteemen think the solution lies in in- come and excess profits plans now under consideration. Mooney Is Granted New Trial by Judge SAN FRANCISCO. April 26. Judge Franklin A. Griffin, who presided at the trial of Thomas J.
