farming, but that the farm is run to pro-
duce an income. 1t might be run at a

rendered prior to March 1 have to be
included as income?
Answer: Where services have been rem
dered and completed before the 1st Of

fore the 1st of March. that amount
does not have to be included income
for 1913. But where the services were
rendered before the 1st of March and

Explains His Reports.

Mr.. Clark explained reports he had made
to the Wepartment of Commerce and sub
mitted to the committee two unpublished
reports of his dealing with conditions in
the fur seal islands in 1912 and 1913. In
these reports he said, the male seals had
increased rapidly since pelagc sealing
was abolished and a closed season for
land sealing established. He argued that
this increase would be very detrimental
70 the seal herd in fifty years, because
the great number OF males would kill
many Of the female seals and trample
many of the young seals to death. on
the basis of the figures in this report he
argued that the Dixon law OF 1912 and re-
cent legislation governing land sealing
ovid re a failure.

LONDON, Aug. Upwards of 49,

More than 1000 have arrived within

London at the present time.
All are suffering the greatest incon-

mediate needs have been cared for
by the American relief committee.
Women have suffered the most of
those who have reached London safe

and the worst possible conditions
prevailed. No one was permitted to
carry anything more than hand lug
gage, and all trunks were left be-
hind. Those arriving from France

The liner Celtic was scheduled to
sail today. Every cabin was taken

SO SHIPS, TIED UP BY WAR,
IN LOWER NEW YORK BAY

every ship that passed his vessel
warned him of the nearness of Ger
man war vessels. The Chicago City
was bound for Swansea, Wales. I'm
der orders, she will not venture on
the seas until further orders.
According to longshoremen about
South and Perth Amboy more soft
coal is being shipped now than dur
ing the past twenty years. The docks
at Port Reading, n. J., Perth and
South Amboy. n. J., are more than
filled with soft coal. The upper and
lower bay are loaded with hghtened
barges awaiting their turns to get
their haul of coal
Just where the coal is going no one
seems to know. At the Pennsylvania
offices at Perth and South Amboy
officials declare that the supply is be-
ing lessened. They will not say where
it is going. It is believed some of 1t
is being used by the war ships and
merchant vessels near Tompkinsville,
Staten Island.
Yesterday three heavy lows left
South Amboy The tugs were fight
ing their way down the bay, not
bound for New York, but toward the
hook. This indicates that other
larger crafts are to. receive the coal
far from shore.
That New York bay Is already over
crowded with boats of all description
is shown by the numerous craft in
Raritan bay about Perth and South
Amboy.
It is also stated that the Bush
Terminals, in Brooklyn. will also be
used for coaling purposes of the
tramp steamers. and also to tie up for
an indefinite period.

service will come from the fact that
they can scout where other machines
or persons could not penetrate.
Bombs" he said, "are not devel-
oped to the point where they win be
particularly destructive. Their chief
effectiveness in the big war III Europs
will be to create CONSERVATION in
groups of hidden soldiers. The drop
ping of an air bomb among closely
packed forces might kill $50 men"
That the air machine will lend to
the spectacular element of war was
the belief. 1t is the prediction that
some battles may be waged between
scout aeroplanes or aeroplanes and
dirigibles, and he declared it would
not be beyond the realm of proba-
Iility that terrific explosions of the
huge gas bags in mida1r will follow.
IT believe" he said, that the aero
plane will be invaluable for scout SER
vice. The governments abroad have
a big force of machines, and their eff
fectiveness will be put to the test In
case this conflict comes"

PERTH AAdBOY, Aug. THE wa

Island Sound, Raritan Bay and the

more than fifty tramp steamers held
up indefinitely on account of the Eu-

ordered to remain in the Perth Am

The Standard Oil Company today
ordered two of her large English

Perth Amboy waters for the English

Captain Beebe was informed that the

Many of the large tramp steamers
have been deserted in and about
Perth Amboy by their officers. Most
and the officers of the vessels are
officers of the English navy. When
the war first broke out many of them
obtained a leave of absence and have
gone to their homes. This indicates
that the British boats sailing the
