BASEL, Switzerland, March 3.-The
forcing of the Dardanelles by the al
lies is evidently causing great uneasi-
ness in Germany where the press has
maintained that such an event was
impossible. Vigorous appeals are
now being made to Italy. ROumania,
Bulgaria and even Greece on the
ground that the entry of the allies
into COnstantinOple would mean the
end of the independence of all these
states.
There is plenty of evidence that
Germany and Austria will regard the
capture of Constantinople as great
disaster.

JUDGE RULES
AGAINST BANK;
COUNTY GAINS

Fixing a precedent In all future
bank taxation cases, Judge Card
handed down a final decision to-
day in favor of Pierce county in
suit brought nearly two years
ago by the Scandinavian-American
for reduction in taxes.
The decision will mean an in
creased income to the county
treasury of $500. 1t will also
mean that the capital stock of
banks in the future will be as
sessed, less the value of the real
estate, and that all property
owned by banking corporation
for more than five years will not
be considered as an asset.
The case was started during
the Bull Nose administration and
was carried to the supreme court
for settlement of a point of law,
being returned to the superior
court last month for trial. The
Scandinavian bank claimed dou-
BILE assessment, demanding that
$3.50, 900 mortgage on the build
ing should be subtracted from the
total valuation of the property.
Deputy Prosecutor Phelps said
today that the decision was i'm
portant in that all banks in the
state would be affected. He cited
the Bankers Trust Co.'S case an
an example where the county
would have had to make a rebate
of $500 in taxes had the deci-
sion be reversed.
