The result is the Kurtzmann Piano of today, supreme and means committee said tonight, after a conference with Secretary McAdoo.

The plan, Mr. Kitchin said, has the support of President Wilson. What amount will have to be raised cannot be determined until the naval and army bills are completed. Members of the ways and means committee will begin work on this problem as quickly as possible, however. EXEMPTION LIMIT STANDS.

Other than a decision not to lower the present exemption limit for incomes. $3,000 for unmarried and $4,000 for married men, details of the tax p'-an have not been worked out. Plans for imposing stamp taxes on manufactured tobacco, liquors, beer, gasoline and other articles, Mr. Kitchin said, had been definitely abandoned. He said the iplan of taxation decided on would affect only those best able to pay the levy, falling exclusively on the wealthy and on foreign nations engaged in war.

WASHINGTON, May imperial German chancellor's recent reference to "a new Belgium" as one of Germany's peace demands has been clarified by diplomatic advices received here from Berlin. Germany, it is learned, will insist on a separate administration for the Flemish portion of Belgium's population. This means, it was said in an authoritative quarter today, that the Walloons, who occupy one side of a rough line drawn from Liege to Namur, and the Flemish people, who occupy' the other side of that line, shaU each have an administration under one king of their own affairs, and that the central authority shall have less prerogatives than heretofore, The Flemings constitute a little more than half the population of Belgium, which is 7.000,000.

Representative Bennet's resolution requesting President Wilson to tell the House what has been done to secure the release of Samuel Schwartz of New York City, a naturalized American citizen "alleged to be unjustly deprived of his liberty by the British government," was taken from the foreign affairs committee today and adopted by the House without dissent. Schwartz, arrested and imprisoned by the British as an Austrian suspect, has been in a British jail a year without formal charges, despite all representations in his behalf. The foreign affairs committee asked the state department for information, but received no reply. A report on the Schwartz case, already prepared at the state department was to have gone to the foreign affairs committee yesterday, but was delayed. It probably will go forward Monday.

It recites the charges against Schwartz, calls attention to doubt regarding his claim to American citizenship and gives representations made to Great Britain on his behalf. i ers are said to welcome the determination of Germany to secure for them rec-I ognition as shall guarantee to them more independence and the perpetuation of their race. There would be autonomy for each of the two races under the proposed rear-I ran'zment of the government, but the central authority would conduct all for-j eign affairs.

The House failed to complete debate today as expected on the rural credits bill, and leaders said tonight it would be passed Monday. The bill would establish a chain of 12 Federal banks for loaning money on agricultural credit at low interest. Speaker Clark took the floor to urge every member to vote for the bill. He read platform declarations in support cf his argument that "we have all promised this legislation." The speaker said that no member of the House, of any party, could vote against the bill and then satisfactorily explain his vote to his WASHINGTON. May 13.

BEWARE of department stores or dealers who advertise to sell SINGER machines which are invariably defaced by having their numbers mutilated or obliterated.
