Being uncertain as to the interpreta-
ton of the law providing a stamp tax
for brokers notes or memoranda, the
off GERS of the Washington exchange re-
Gently sought a ruling from the Com
m ssioner of Internal Revenue. Comm s.
siuner w. II. Osborn has just passed
upon the question.
His ruling is that n brokers'Enote or
memorandum, within the meaning of
the law is, any instrument or writing
given by the seller. wnen a broker
or person acting as such. to the buyer
of any goods or merchandise, stocks,
bonds, exchange notes of hand, real
estate. or property of any kind or
description, evidencinG or confirming
the sale"
The principal question puzzling the
brokers was the number of stamps
required to be placed upon a memoir
andum, or note, which evidenced more
than one sale to the same broker.
That but a single stamp is necessary,
regardless of the number of sales
made between the seller and buyer. is
evidenced by the last paragraph Of
Mr.. Osborn's communication, in which
he says:
TT will be noted that it is the note
or memorandum given to the buyer,
and not to the person for whom the
broker is acting in making the sale,
which requires the stamp"

PORTS ARE MINED.
United States Has Been Officially No
titled of Act in Germany

Washington. Aug. 1O-Germany has
officially notified the UAiteF states that
~: German ports have tbeen mined. The
information was received from Am
bassador Gerard at Berlin. who stated
that Germany has given formal notice
that "all ports which may be made the
base of hostilities'' have mines in them.
This is understood to include ports of
the enemy In which Germany has been
able to lay mines.
From another official source not made
public the state department received in
formation that the Germans have placed
ton through the channel is therefore
perilous by either the northern or
southern route.
AS the channel is where the British
navy Is chiefly operating against Ter
many, naval experts consider this min
ing of the high seas" by contact min
ing justifiable war measure.
Following the news of the mines the
state department officials concluded
that there Is probability that relief ships
sent from America or. leaving Europe
will depart with American refugees
through any German port.
The state department said assurances
were received from the German gov
eminent that no Americans are held in
dnress within German territory, and
Americans simply prohibited them
munication while the German forces
were being modified.
Secretary Bryan paid q short visit to
the White House. after which the an
nouncement concerning the German
mines was made.

NO TOYS!
European War May Bring Woe
to the Riddles.
Toyless Holiday Is in Store for
Youngsters.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Johnny Jones
and Mary Jane and all their little
friends and playmates have an un-
pleasant surprise ahead Of them.
a real Christmas. There will be no
imported toys or gewgaws. or knick-
hacks, or electric trains. or mechan-
ical dolfs, or automatic tricks. 1t will
be no Christmas at all.
And the great European war is the
cause of it all. The German, French.
and Swiss cities that were once the
beehives of the toy and novelty indus
try, are now heated with martial spir-
it. Streets and buildings that once
were busy with Johnny's and Mary's
Christmas are filled with soldiers and
cannons and warlike spirit.
No Time for Tin Soldiers.
Germans. whose cunning efforts
brought surprise and joy into the life
of Young America" on Christmas
morning, are now shouldering rifles
and using their cunning to kill French
men. who also may have been working
for Johnnie and Mary this time last
year. q .~-
The Swiss have laid aside their CHS.
els and workacay tools and taken VI
arms to prevent the Germans from
crossing their country. They have nc
time for toys and novelties. Europe
has no need for tin soldiers now.
The head of the toy department of
one of ChicagO's great stores shrugged
his shoulders.
I'VE have ordered our toys and nov
] elites from Germany. Shipments were
to be made this week, but the wars pre-
! vented. 1 am afraid that Chicago chill
dren will have q slim Christmas, for a
'toyless' Christmas is no Christmas to
us Americans
Yes. We. have a few toys left over
from last season." he continued, but
there are not enough to supply small
fraction of the demand. Unless the
wars are stopped at once there will be
no European toys for SALE"

L0vELAND ON WAR.
Former Topeka Pastor Spoke Here on
European Situation.

The present war in Europe will
mean the end of war, according to DIR.
F. L. Loveland. pastor. of the First
Methodist church of Portland, Oregon,
and formerly pastor of the First Meth
odist church Of Topeka, in speaking
before a packed house Sunday night at
the union services in the First Metho-
dist church.
1t was the largest union service at
tendance Of the summer Sunday night.
Even the windows and doorways were
occupied. At times in the course OF
DR.. Loveland's discourse on the effect
Of the present war upon modern civil
ization. there was clapping OF hands
While he regretted the awful trag-
edy that is being enacted in Europe,
1t was DIR. Loveland's opinion that God
Almighty has some purpose in it that
will work out for the benefit Of the
human race.
DIR. Loveland spoke of the rulers
who have perpetrated war in no COM
plimentary terms. He said:
Europe has been thrown in wal
by a weak. doddering old man in his
childhood, who is the ruler of Aus
tria: by a half baked neurotic, who Il
the car of Russia, and by the bril-
liant, scholarly, political schemer. who
is the kaiser of Germany. But they
realize that it is the death struggle
Of the monarchies. A democracy ID
coming to Europe. American ideals
will invade Europe before we die. II
means the overthrow OF eccleeiastica
power"
