Secretary McAdoo yesterday called at
tention to the fact that all persona,
companies and associations
liable under the income tax must make
their payments by June 90 to the col-
lectors Of internal revenue In their re-
spectiye districts.
q Tho Secretary pointed out that the
law imposes heavy penalties, for failure
to make payments within the time pre-
scribed, and expressed the hope that the
Treasury Department would not be COM
PEELED to invoke the penalty clause. The
law provides that in cases Of nonpay-
ment by June 90 the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue. ten days after notice
and demand. shall add 5 per cent to
the amount of the tax unpaid and in
terest at the rate OF 1 per cent per
month.
The Secretary has no power to waive
or remit these penalties. as the law IS
mandatory and must be enforced against
all delinquents-

from those bankers and merchants and housewives
in the gallery who do not pause to reflect that there
has been reaching into their vaults and safes and

SHELL FIRES AWFUL EFFECT.
Soldiers Stricken Deaf, Dumb and Blind
by Shock Of Big Guns.

py oUOSN " O'9 SS''~'
Correspondence OF Associated Press,
London. Dec. 1.-THE extraordinary
effects OF shell, fire upon those who are
forced to undergo it, are being dis
c,1ssed at length in the British medical
journals.
An English surgeon now attached TO
Paris hospital, reports the cases OF
four men who show absolutely no trace
of bodily wounds. but who are now un-
der his care. TWO OF them were struck
deaf and dumb by shell explosions;
neither Of them has anything wrong
with his organs of speech or hearing,
but is suffering simply from shock. A
third cannot see; caused by nervous
shock. There is nothing the matter
with his eyes and complete recovery Is
promised after q period of quiet and
rest. The fourth mans experience LEFT
his mind blank.
Field surgeons contribute accounts
of the manner in which death comes
from shell Are. In some cases men are
found stiff in death in life-like atti-
tudes, SO that the stiffness character
istic Of a corpse must have come on
at the very moment Of death. whereas
under ordinary circumstances q man
dies first and slowly stiffens after
wards. Some OF the field surgeons have
attributed this to the action of a pois-
onous gas given of by the new explos-
i've. "turpenite." One Of the pathology
lists at Guys hospital, however, con-
tradicts that theory.
