Curious Facts Revealed
In Registry Office

LONDON, June A study OF the
wills OF Englishmen and Americans
has been made by an official At Som
erset House. where Is located the
principal registry for Great Britain.
TIL Official, while in New York last
"eaT. examined the wills OF several
huLGrad wealthy and prominent per.
sons who had resided in that city.
and thereby was enabled 10 get in
forma ion OF value TO the British in.
come tax Office, which has been
bothered by men who give away
then fortune before they die, thus
dvcldirg the inheritance tax.
Tho provision in the American
law Is similar 10 that in the English
law In such cases. Money or other
properly given away in contempla.
'iCn OF death" is subject to the tax.
But this is difficult 10 prove. as was
illustrated In the attempt made in
New York TO collect such a tax on a
Sl.o00,000 gift by the late d. o.
ills 10 his daughter. II was shown
by the executors. by letter written
by Mr.. Mills, that II was his usual
Christmas gift" though It did not
come out at the hearing how many
previous gifts of the kind had been
made BY him.
The Inheritance tax Is very heavy
In Britain In the case of the late

state collected. in duties, Sl,1S5.00O.
Notwithstanding that tine property

heirs On some legacies the death
tax Is % per cent.
Tile first roint OF interest develop.
ed by the inquiry Is that the average
rich Engljshman is richer than the
average rich American. This is
shown by adding up the fortunes of
any 100 consecutive British Wills
and comparing the total with that
OF any 100 consecutive American
Wills excluding from each list the
men worth Sl,000.000 or over. The
difference IL almost 100 per cent in
favor Of the Englishman. Thirty
English fortunes on the list totaled
si2,00Oo00. an average OF 100000
while 70 New York fortunes totaled
100000. an average of S233.000
each. The names on each list were
taken just as they came, one after

mand on the United States that. In
return for German compliance with
Americas visws. the United States
should compel the allies TO meet
the suggestions raised In the so
called identical notes" sent by this
government prior to the opening OF
the submarine campaign, The "iden.
tical notes at the outset made II
clear that the United States was
acting as best friend" OF the com.
batants and that the notes sugges.
tions were for the purpose OF miti.

combatants. II was fatty set forth
that nothing they contained bound

fast policy. This was said TO dis
pose OF the suggestion that Ger
many either can or desires TO

However. officials say that the
German embassy here realizes that

be in duty bound 10 insist that the
allies also return 10 a strict observ.

being the compelling reason why

II Is now learned that very little
