Tela Sunk by German Sub Marine Off English Coast
The British steamship Tela of about 7000 tons built in Belfast for United Fruit Company and taken by the British admiralty was torpedoed and sunk May 2 off the English coast. 79 crew survived uninjured though the stern was torn away. The vessel had just one voyage to the United States, carrying frozen beef, and was en route to another British port when destroyed.

Senate committee trims taxes on advertising and profits
The Senate committee backed changes to the House tax plan including removing the 1916 retroactive income tax, dropping second class mail rate hikes under the zone system, and replacing excess profits tax with a two percent ad revenue levy. The panel estimated eliminating the 1916 tax would cut the levy by 108000 dollars, while newspapers warn the zone system shifts threaten publications.

Excess profits tax plan eyed to ease business burdens
Committeemen say adopting the excess profits tax principle would cut this year's tax loads on business interests and boost net revenue. They favor keeping the 16 percent House rate on excess profits over 8 percent but drop the invested capital basis in favor of a years average. Meanwhile a Cambridge boy aged 3, Clifford C. Douglas, was injured when a truck ran over his leg after slipping on Fairmont and River streets. He lost the limb at Cambridge Relief Hospital.
