 Meanwhile, according to the internal revenue agenl.s who are searching the records of the documents fled are with cut stamps. Colonel Williams said to- day that he could take no action in the matter beyond making an investigation which would show to what extent the war tax ..,w has been violated. He has already reported to the commissioner of internal revenue, but as yet has had no reply to his communication. It lies with the commissioner, he said, to in- terpreaa the 50sgv so as to make it possi- ble for registers of deeds and similar officers to aid in ehe collection Of the tax.
 A partial investigation made in Brooklyn shows that similar conditions prevail there. In fact, Colonel Will Hams said hey may be looked for in all parts of the country. Where i. was pos sible to conduct investigations, he said. such would undoubtedly be done and viclators of the law would be duly warned that they were indebted to the government for the amounts of the stamps left off docum eEIs. Who would serve this notice Colonel Williams was unable to say, but he fel. that it should be done by registers or similar officials.

 England and Germany, for century the iron masters Of the world, the enc now slowly losing her grip cn the worlds iron trade and the ether as slowly gaining, are amazed by the complete reversal Of Americas foreign trade within two decades. Going back to 1880, bef1re the discovery Of the Go- ebic and Vermillicn ninss on the shores Of Laks Superi-r, we find our shipments of iron and steel to foreign countries amounting to $15 000 00G. whils the imports wsre $80,000,O00. We were producing less than fcur million tens of pig ircn from cur factories, and had tc go abroad to suppy our wants in manufactured ircn and steel. Gu, imports were ever five timss as la ge as our exports. This year our iron and steel experts will exceed STE, ,000,- 900, while our imports will ba less than S13000, 900. With a million t-ns of iron pouring out of our furnaces every month cur manufs cturers nee1 tlc seek new markets to sell their war5s.
