To Interest
of Florida to
Reflect Bryan

That n. P. Bryan's popularity
is even greater than was thought
is becoming more and more ap-
parent as the lists from every part
of Escambia county are beginning
to come back, filled with the
names Of Bryan club members.
A feature of the movement is
that everybody seems to realize
the business necessity of return
ing the senator to Washington.
Senator Bryan is on the naval
affairs committee, where his in
fluence is recognized as being
great. Only one man is between
him and the craftsmanship Of the
committee.
The interests Of Pensacola being
so intimately bound up In naval
affairs, it is pointed out that Mr..
Bryan's reelection is imperative
to the welfare of West Florida.
Hundreds Of names are already
enrolled on the roster of the
Bryan Club, and every member is
an ardent worker for his candi-
date.

By ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Washington, June 1.-The naval
appropriation bill, carrying 1859 ,o00,-
900 for the coming year passed the
house today by vote of 35S to 4. The
building program includes five battle
cruisers, four scout cruisers, ten de-
stroyers, fifty submarines and one
hundred and thirty aeroplanes. The
four voting against the passage were
Browning of New Jersey and Graham
of Pennsylvania, republicans; Randall
of California, prohibitionist, and Lon
don of New York, socialist.
The naval bill is the second of the
big preparedness measures to pass
the house. 1t carries many million
more than any naval bill ever con-
sidered by congress. The bill passed
substantially as it came from the
committee. All efforts of the big
navy men to add two dreadnaughts
to the building program failed. The
fight for an additional battleship will
be made in the senate. Navy officers
tonight called attention to the big
North sea naval battle, showing that
battleships are still the backbone of
the feet.

baden and cruiser Frau Enleb unac-
counted for, and several destroyers
missing.
The news occasioned greater con-
sternation in the West End of Lon

$1,000 and 1880 tons displacement,
respectively. The Queen Mary was

TWO THOUSAND
DOLLARS FOR THE
Y. NJ. c. A. FUND

The Y. NJ. C. A. has collected 1920
of the subscribed donations given in
the recent campaign, which leaves a
balance of $4,400 yet to be collected.
The pledges, however, cover a period
of one year IN most cases and much
of the money is not yet due.
There is some confusion, said Sec
rotary Cunningham yesterday, as to
the plan by which the money was to
be given, which led to many creditors
of the association thinking that the
whole had been donated in cash at
one time. This, he explained, was not
the case, as shown above.

FRENCH TAX ON AMERICANS
Those Having "Habitusl Residence"
In France Are Classified and
Must Pay.

The monthly bulletin OF the Ameri-
can chamber OF commerce describes
the new French income tax, especially
as IT affects foreigners residing in
France, says the New York Sun.
Article 6 OF the law says: "A
general income tax Is due. on January
l OF each year from all persons hay
ing a habitual residence in France.
Those persons are considered to have
habitual residence in France who
have a dwelling at their disposition
either as proprietors. beneficiaries by
usufruct or tenants. when In the lat
ter case the lease is arranged either
by a single agreement or by success
sive agreements for a continuous Pc
Rod of at least one year"
Article IL says: AS far as per
sons not domiciled in France. but
having one or more residences there
are concerned. the taxable income is
fixed at a sum equal to seven times
the rental value OF such residence or
residences unless the income derived
by the taxpayer from properties. en-
terprises or professions located or ex-
ercised In France reaches a higher
figure. in which case the latter amount
is taken for the basis of the tax"
Americans living in Paris or else
where In France are thus divided by
law into two classes-those pursuing
a gainful business or professional &C
cupatlon and those who do not. Those
not engaged in business must pay
tax. their income being estimated at
seven times the rental value OF the
one or more establishments which
they contract to take for continuous
period OF one year Those engaged in
business whose income exceeds seven
times the rental value OF their one or
more places OF residence must make
a declaration of their total income
from French sources only. The law
does not apply in the case of the lat
ter to income derived from property
held elsewhere than in France.
