PRESENCE OF AMERICAN WAR SHIPS PRECLUDES FIGHTING

 The policy to be adopted by the United States regarding Haiti, which has been left without a government by the flight of the president at the approach of reyolutionists will de- pend upon developments during the next few days.
 The Haitien constitution provides that in case of a vacancy in the presi- dency the cabinet ministers shall call he national assembly in session wi"A in ten days and that body shall fill the vacancy. If this constitutional method is followed the state depart ment here probably will not object 10 the recognition of the new govern ment in Haiti.

TIMBER is EXEMPT
 FROM INCOME TAX
UNTIL IT IS CUT AND MARKETED,
 THEN THE PROFITS BE ! COME TAXABLE.

Washington, Jan. 29.-FoGesters and lumhermen see in decision or the Treasury Department in regard to the administration of the income tax a strong argument for forestry As they interpet the opinion of the Treasury officials they understand that no timberlands shall be subject to the tax until the timber is cut and marketed and that then the profit only will be subject to an income tax assessment In other words, all costs will be deducted before the tax is levied, and these will cover the cost of growing the timber. including the cost of planting where neccess- ary and of protecting the growing crop from fire and other depreda- tion.
 This decision was based upon a re- quest for information made by F. S Ridsdale. secretary of the American forestry association. He asked V there would he a tax on the value q the yearly growth of the timber whether cut or not, and also wheth- er an income tax would be assessed on the value of the timberland In reply. the Treasury Department said that 'the gain from the cutting and disposal of stumpage is realized m the year during which the timber is cut and disposed of, and that the amount received in excess of the cost of such timber is profit, and should be so accounted for as in come for that year"
