The Kildare county council unani-
mously adopted the following:
I'VE regard with grave apprehension
the recent changes in the government
of the country. involving as they do the
inclusion in high places of high power
and authority of the most virulent en-
envy of our people. and a declared law
breaker. We consider this step as
direct insult to the great majority Of
Irishmen, and must express our sur
prise that the leading statesmen in
England should sanction such a course

Amsterdam - Correspondence OF
The Associated Press. THE publish
eli statement OF the receipts OF the
Netherlands government, from all
forms of taxation and state enter
prizes Tor the month OF April shows
that while the war is not only in
creasing the cost OF running the Dutch
government. IL is also decreasing its
revenues. This is sad news for the
Hoiianders. who already find the bur
den OF the expense OF the mobilization
well nigh intolerable. when added TO
the ordinary expenses OF life. Long
before the war. taxes in the Neither
lands were remarkably high. Every
Dutch child started life with the
handicap OF his share in over 5000, 600
per day of taxes for expenditures
which are unknown in any other coun-
try of the world. In Holland it is an
existence tax: for IL costs that much
10 maintain dykes 20 keep a great part
OF the Netherlands from being over
run by the sea
The annual budget in Holland is
carefully calculated TO produce a
certain figure through taxes; when the
revenues fall below that figure. as in
the month of April. extra imposts are
necessary and lead to growing dissat-
isfaction among the people who pay
taxes. This year, the month OF April
exhibits q shortage Of 81 .992. 500 COM
pared with the revenues Of the cores
ponding month OF last year. So great
is this deficit in proportion, and so
close have the figures this year, in the
first three months. run to the figures
of last years receipts for the same
period. that, with the April deficit. the
revenues for the four months OF 1915
show a loss of S3.1S3, 7O9 over the same
period OF 1914
The principal deficits lie in the re-
ceipts from the inheritance taxes, and
in the excise on sugar. The former
fell 81 ,065, 500 short of last years
figures. while the latter fails by
s3SS. 500 Of touching the sum received
from that source in April, 1914.

Athens. Correspondence of the AS
/ sociated Press A great proportion OF
officer losses TO the French and Eng
/ Hsh forces in the Dardanelles are due
to the activity of the Turkish snipers
who have special instructions 70 PICK
out the officers. A correspondent Win
the French force writes
The danger TO officers in this part
OF the peninsula from snipers is very
great. Parties Of 10 or 20 Turkish
sharp-shooters crawl past our lines at
night and either hide in a tree or get
into an abandoned trench OF shell hole.
There they lie concealed from view
waiting for an opportunity 10 snlpe al
some isolated officer passing within
range of their rifle. They are instruct
ed TO disregard firing upon private sol
diers If it involves any danger to them
selves. but to miss no chance TO bring
down an officer.
In many cases the sniper's eager
ness for this duty is assisted by stories
of the huge loot to be obtained from
the pockets Of the officers. Some Of
the snipers who have been caught were
found with large sums OF British and
French money. as well as other prop
erty belonging to officers"
