ASK EARLY RELEASE OF
TOYS HELD IN HOLLAND
Britain May Expedite Shipments of
Goods from Germany Ordered
Before March |, 1915.

The foreign trade advisers of the State
Department are endeavoring to have the
British government expedite the pro-
cedure with regard to the release of GER
tain goods of German origin purchased
by American importers and now held in
Holland on the ground that they are
needed for the Christmas trade in the
United States and must therefore be de-
livercd to the American market soon or
they will not be salable. 1t Is understood
that a large portion of the goods in Hol-
land. with a total value of more than
$50. .OO0, ,OC0. are toys and other articles for
the American Christmas trade.
Officials yesterday pointed out that
American importers must not expect that
releases OF goods would follow within a
few days after the presentation of their
applications at the British Embassy here.
The procedure is for applications in
March /. 1915. or before. to be filed with
cials check UP the evidence submitted to
show the existence of an implied contract
before March /. and then transmit the
applications to the British Embassy.
The applications are similarly checked
there, and then forwarded to London
with recommendation for favorable ac-
ton. This procedure requires consider
able time.
Officials of the department are greatly
pleased at the progress made in these in
formal negotiations thus far. 1t Is stated
that more than fifty applications of
American importers have been approved
by the British Embassy and forwarded
to London for final action.

LAWYERS ASSAIL
Income 7AXLAW
Withholding Clause Under
Heavy Fire in u. S.
Supreme Court.
MAY BE HELD INVALID
Statute Attacked as Discriminatory
and in Nature of Class
Legislation.
MAY BE HELD INVALID

The withholding clause of the Fed
eral income tax law is under heavy fire
in the United States Supreme Court, and
some Of the government counsel admit
that they would not be surprised II the
court held that feature TO be unconsttu-
tional
Otherwise the law seems to be with
standing successfully attacks from emil
nent legal counsel. The lawyers who are
attacking the law have admitted in open
court that they are not contcnding that
an income tax as such is unconstitutional
But they charge that the present law Is
a discriminatory statute and therefore
class legislation and that the operation
of the withholding clause under which
the government appears to be taking
private property for public Use without
Just compensation is in violation of the
due process clause of the Federal Con-
stitution and that feature ought to fall.
The comments from the bench We're
not favorable to the law in the argu-
ments yesterday. Julian T. Davies, OF
New York. had explained how a corpora
ton might withhold the tax of one OF
its bondholders not knowing that he was
exempt. choosing between that risk and
the greater one of mourning cumulative
penalties for not SO doing. and then learn
that the bondholder was exempt. discov-
ertng that it could not recover from the
government because 1t could not sue for
the benefit of the bondholder nor COM
pei him to sue. In the case OF a cor
poration like the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. which guarantees its bonds
free Of taxation of any kind. the cor
poration would reimburse the stock
holder and at the same time close the
amount 1t had paid in to the govern
ment.
Chief Justice White asked if the at
torney meant to say that the govern
ment was doing that sort of thing.
The attorney replie.. that it was doing
precisely that thing.
'Preposterous." replied the Chief JUS
tice. Il never heard of such a thing"
1t was pointed out in court yester-
day that under the withholding clause
the corporations In many instances
were expendins as high as $4,000 a
year in clerical help in any effort to
collect the governments taxes from its

CHANGING NAVAL ENGINES,
Curtis Turbines on Four Ships Prove
UnsntisfactOry.

The estimates for the next fiscal year
now being prepared at the Navy Depart
ment will include items for new engines
for four vessels. These are the battle
ships North Dakota. the scout cruiser
Salem. and the destroyers Henley and
Mayrant.
All these vessels are equipped with
Curtis turbines, installed by the Fore
River Shipbuildng Company. and have
proven unsatisfactory. The North Da-
kota's engines have been a source of
serious difficulty ever since that vessel
was put in commission and have con-
stantly interfered with her service
The Fore River company is changing
engines on two destroyers 1t is building
the Duncan and the Downes. These en-
gines are of the same type that have
proven so unsatisfactory in the four YES
sells accepted by the navy. The COM
pany is also making a change in the en-
gines of the new battleship Nevada for
similar reasons. The Navy Department
does not bear any of the expense of the
changes, but will have to pay for the
new engines in the four vessels accepted
from the builders. 1t will advertise for

Aberdeen. THE women identified with

caused a marked change in the people

DELCASSE FRENCH MARTYR.
German Press Comments on ResiE-
nation of French OmcfaI.

Berlin via Tuckerton). Oct. 1.-THE
newspapers here made only brief COM
ment on the resignation of Theophile
Delcasse as the French foreign minister.
They call him one Of the instigators of
the war.
The Vossische Zeitung tersely states
that NJ Delcasse tried to save his face
by seizing upon the Saloniki question as
a pretext for presenting his resignation.
while. rs n matter of fact. the general
failure of his war plans was the true
cause Of his disappearance from politics.
All the papers point out that Delcasse's
illness followed closely on the collapse
of the quadruple entente's Balkan policy
and their Dardanelies campaign. They
point out that the chief OF command Of
the Bulgarian forces says that Serbis's
fate IL sealed and that the present war
situation Justifies the most sanguine
hopes OF the Germans
The Berliner Tageblatt gives as its
opinion that NJ. Delcasse was sacrificed
