PBES’T FAVORS PLAN TO BUY MOITICELLO Movement Started Several Years Ago for Government Acquisition of Jefferson’s Home, Likely to be Con summated. Washington.—President Wilson fa vors government purchase of Monti - cello, the former home of Thomas Jef ferson, from Representative Levy, of New York, It became known today. He has not, however, committed him self to the suggestion of Mr. Levy that Monitcello be used as a summer home for presidents. In official circles hope was express ed that congress would act propmtly on the letter of Representative Jeffer son M. Levy to Secretary Bryan In which he said he would consider a government offer of $500,000 for Mon tlcello. Mr. Bryan, It was said, would refer the communication to congress at once. Abhorred "Muieum.” Mr. Levy In his letter stated he al ways had abhorred the Idea of Montl cello becoming a "mere museum.” “I have maintained It,” he wrote, "as a home—the home of Thomas Jeffer son—and If I am to part with It I should like that thought to be retain ed. Make It the home—the Virginia home—of the president of the United States and maintain It for their oc casional occupancy and I would be content.” Mr. Levy said ho had added to the 21X acres he first purchased until the original acreage of more than 700 acres had been restored. Ha added he had spent one million dollars on the estate. Induced to Change. The movement for government ac quisition of Montlcello, begun several years ago was led by Mrs. Martin W. Littleton of New York, and various bills and resolutions looking to its purchase have been Introduced in con gress. Mr. Levy, however protested against the plan, declaring he would not sell the property and was only induced to change his mind by Hecretary Bryan who recently wrote to him suggesting that the acquisition of Montlcello at this time would commemorate the ad ministration of President Wilson, "which Is being conducted on Jeffer sonian principles." EPERNAT VINES ARE UNDAMAGED London, 4:50 a. m.—Telegraphing from Epernav, France, the Times cor respondent says: ''The ebbing of the German Invasion has left the vineyards virtually un damaged. The labor question In con nection with the harvesting of the grapes has been solved by the presence of numerous refugees from the north who are only too glad to earn tho good wages offered by the vineyard owners. “In ordinary times the grapes, as soon as harvested, are bought by the htg cnampagne makers for their press es. During tlie present year, however, thlß has been Impossible, ow ing to lack of transportation facilities. The grapes are therefore being press ed by growers themselves and ths Juice will be preserved In barrels un til Its delivery to the wine makers la possible. The weather has been fav orable ,md It Is predicted that the wine thla year will be of excellent quality." P. 0. CONCRETE PILE FOUNDATION TESTED Fifty-Ton Weight Remains on One of the Piles 24 Hours.

Ml-O NA QUICKLY ENDS INDIGESTION Eat Your Favorite Food and Never Fear After-Distress. There la a way for you to eat what ever your stomach craves and do It over again the next day. Many will say "How I wish 1 could hut I have tried and every time It nearly kills me."

Every stomach has a lot of work to perform In digesting the food and if crowded with extra labor it rebels and kicks up a fearful disturbance. Ml-o-na, a simple, harmless, .inex pensive and most effective prescrip tion. easily obtained at any drug store, will quickly stop this disturbance. Ml-o-na was especially prepared to regulate out-of-order stomachs.

Effort to Avoid Prolonged Debate on Measure. Washington,—Stamp taxes on pro prietary medicines, cosmetics, per fumes an<r chewing gum such as were Included in the Spanish war taxes i were voted into the war revenue bill today by the Democrats of the senate finance committee before the meas ure was submitted to the Democratic senate caucus for approval or revision. The committee added the medicine tax section to make up for any deficit that their original revision of the house bill might cause and also to increase the revenue as much as pos sible. It was understood the secre tary of the treasury would not object if the estimated revenue to be deriv ed should exceed $100,000,000. Graduated Stamp Tax. The amendment proposed a grad uated stamp tax of % of a cent on ar ticles costing not more than 5 cents to % of a’cent for more than 50 or less than 26 cents articles and % of a cent for each 26 cents of value additional. Articles included in the list are pills, powders, torches, cordials, bitters, tonics, plasters, liniments, salves, ointments, waters—except natural mineral or carbonated natural mineral waters—essences and all similar ar ticles for which a- private formula Is claimed. Similar tax rates would he applied to perfumery, cosmetics, hair oils, pomades, hair dyes, dentrifices, etc. The proposed tax on chewing gum is 4 cents for each box worth $1 or less and 4 cents additional for each added dollar of value. The Auto Tax. In perfecting the measure the com mittee stipulated that the proposed tax of 60 cents a horsepower on auto mobile sales shoula apply only to pas senger cars. Another tax added is on sparkling wines, not otherwise speci fied in the bill at the rate of 1 cent for pints or less and 2 cents for more than a pint. In the proposed tax of $lO for gen eral amusement halls exception is made' to “ehautauquas, lectures, ly ceums, agricultural or industrial fairs and religious and charitable entertain ments.” Keen Interest. Washington.—Congressmen awaited with keen Interest the outcome of to day’s caucus of senate democrats to straighten out party differences on the war revenue bill and hasten action on remaining legislative business with a view to early adjaurnment. Re jection by democrats of the finance committee of amendments of members to the war tax measure led to the cau cus call. Committee members had threatened to carry the fight to tho floor of the senate. Prospects of prolonged debate over the bill because of the disagreement and consequent delay in adjournment caused administration leaders to de cide upon a caucus to avoid such a contingency. For Adjournment. President Wilson Indicated to the leaders that he would be ready for ad journment as Boon as the Clayton bill, the w T ar tax and the Alaska coal leasing conference report had been consummated. The situation as to early adjourn ment may be further complicated by tho threat of Representative Henry of Texas to continue indefinitely has filibuster against adjournment until cotton relief legislation is enactei. The president has stated, hoverer, that the house rather than Mr. Henrv would determine when to adjourn. Mr. Henry's fight will prevent the carylng out of agreements for recesses of the house to permit members to go to their home districts this week. Many of them, however, had already gone home, believing that congress would shortly adjourn. Disagree on Them. The caucus had before it for con sideration today a number of amend ments upon which the finance com mittee disagreed. One would eliminate the tax on gasoline altogether and sub stitute a tax on automobile owners and automobile sales. Another would eliminate the proposed tax of $2 a thousand on bank capital and surplus, substltutiong a stamp tax on checks, drafts and other negotiable paper. The caucus may pass upon a suggest ed amendment to tax government em ployes a percentage on their salaries. Other amendments Include proposed taxes on distilled liquors, an increase In the proposed tax on beer from $1.50 to $1.75 a barrel; revision of the pro posed taxes on domestic vines and special taxes on retail liquor dealers.

Battle ‘North of Oise’ Is Raging Confidence Undimished in Paris in Spite of Brief Announcement of Allies Yielding. All Combats Heretofore Have Been on Right of River Oise. Paris, 7:01 a. m.—Despite yester day's official announcement that the allies had yielded somewhat, confi dence today In the ultimate success of the French and the English in the great action on the left wing of the battle front in northern France has by no means diminished. Meanwhile without repose and with no sign of a truce the tremendous battle of mil lions of men Is proceeding. For First Time. "North of the Oise” has appeared for the first time In a war office statement. Till now all the combats fought on the right bank of the Oise River have been mentioned either in the region of Roye or between the Somme and the Oise. There is much speculation on the phase of the fight ing in that vicinity which can have a greatly varied importance. The military critics, among them Lieut-Colonel Rousset, of the Petit Parisien, refuse to attach any import ance to the setback or the yielding of territory, declaring them to be the in evitable retreats which can be offset by a progressive movement. Advantage to French. The familiarity of the French with the territory is frequently of consid- CONFIDENT ARE BRITISH, ALRIGA Washington, D.
