ARTIST SOLDIERS
DECORATE TRENCHES
(By Associated Press.l

COLOGNE, July "a letter from a
German soldier in France describes a
company in which amateur or profess
sional sculptors, as we'll as some
landscape architects, are present in
large numbers. The trenches in which
the company lies accordingly have TAX
en- on an extraordinarily decorative
appearance.
In an underground shelter from 30
to 60 feet under the surface of the
earth the company's sculptors have
evolved faithful likenesses of President
Poncare of France; Lord Churchill, of
England, and the Kaiser the latter
with a two-mark piece relief as a
model. In addition there are carica-
lures of "Suffragette" of John Bull
and other familiar characters.
The same sculptors have provided
monuments for the graves of their fall
en- comrades, who are buried in little
cemetery some distance back of the
trenches. The latter are veritable
flower gardens in which the art of the
landscape artist has had full sway.

HYPOTHETICAL CASE
ILLUSTRATES CURVES
Of INHERITANCE TAX
Varying Rates and Exemptions
Reduced to Cold Figures By
State Commission.

Pierre. s. D, May 29.-The law makes
fixed percentages to be paid by per-
sons lnhcriting estates, but the state
tax commission has. figured what the
actual amounts are on the various
amounts OF estate. according to emf
mons and classes. One sample case,
which takes In all The various kinds
or relatives. corporations. ETC., and
shows various classes of property, pre-
sumes the estate left amounts to $751;
100. The wife is left So, 1000 and. as her
exemption to tax on that il $4,000 un-
der the law, she eventually pays 1915
n inheritance tax. A child receives $15,-
~. with exemption on $4,000 and pays
800 as tax. An adopted child receives
$1,000. exemption $10,O 900, and SIS tax,
the rate being different. The father re-
ceives $4,000. exemption $1,000. and pays
$40 tax. A brother receives $500, ex-
emption 1000. and pays $45 tax. The
brothers. child receives $1,000, 1000 ex-
emption. and pays $50 tax. The fathers
brother receives 81, 200, exemption $3.50.
and pays $50 tax. The daughter of the
mothers brother $1,000, exemption $3.50.
and tax $50. Wife of mothers brother
$3.50, exemption 500. tax $3.50. Charity
5000. exemption $500, tax $125. Coun-
ty $500, all exempt. no tax. A corpora
ton 100000. exemption 500. tax $3.50.
This would make a total tax on such
property OF 1892, divided in the man
ner designated.

Berlin, Gia London), May 31.-The
foreign offices and the admiralty are
still without news concerning the re-
ported t~orpedoing of the American
steamship NebrasSan and deprecate ALI
discussion of possible effect on Ger
man-American negotiations pending an
authoritative communication. German
newspapers have printed nothing about
the Nebraskam incident since the first
Rotterdam dispatch reporting that the
ship had been ~torpedoed, II that she
was still afloat with the crew safe In
her lifcboats.
The torpedoing of the steamship Gulf
light is now established as u to a
commander of the submarine in ques-
ton having been received by the adj
miralty.
The commander stated that when he
first saw the Gulflight she was being
conveyed by two patrol boats, and he
concluded that she must be a BRUSH
vessel or was carrying colltrlband. The
presence of the patrol boats, the COM
mander reported, made closer lnvest1-
