CERTAIN
DANGER
is PAST

THE HAGUE, April U.s.
Positive assurances that there
will be no diplomatic rupture be-
tween Germany and America
have reached Ambassador Gerard,
II was learned reliably today.
Attaches of the American EN-
bassy in Berlin began packing
their baggage last Saturday. Wed
nesday, however, assurances
which have been revealed caused
them to abandon preparations
for departure.
The American colony at Berlin
learned yesterday that there was
no prospect of an early break.
Messages to Dutch business
men said the crisis apparently
had passed.
Should a break come, ii
would not be before May 5. No
reason has been given for fixing
this date.
Since President Wilson's last
note, Americans appearing in
public have been made to feel
uncomfortable. Most of them
remain indoors on the advice of
the police.

In a hundred of detection!

In % hundred OF detection!
Secretary McAdoo says he has
plans now under way which will
furnish means of detecting and
furnishing frauds, If congress will
give him the necessar yappropria-
ton.
Here is what the secretary Of
the treasury must do In order to
carry out his promise:
First, he must card-index all
information contained in the lists
of stockholders and bondholders
to which his agents have access,
in the public records of leases,
mortgages, real estate transac-
tions, probates of wills, in court
records, stock brokers' offices,
banks and trust companies, as
we'll as the thousand and one
hints which appear in the papers
indicative OF those who are living
like income taxpayers"
Second, one or more districts
must be picked out and the best
examiners on the force put to
work conducting a drag-net In
vestigation, which will serve as
an example to the whole country,
while other examiners are looking
up individuals scattered through
out the country.
Third, the secretary must see
to 1t that the bureau enforces all
penalties rigidly and prosecutes
every case OF genuine attempt to
defraud. This is not the case
now. The minimum penalty pre-
scribed by law for failure to file
returns on time is $40, but this
! penalty Is being regularly COM
/ promised at IS.
Why is this compromise"
being made?
Why is IL that, I'm the ma
jority Of cases. when the exc
aminers FIND that the deduc-
tioDs have been grossly over
stated, the bureaH does not
ASSESS the 100 p& pen

palpable frauds which have
been unearthed by the rev.
enue agents, has the bureau
taken practically no steps to
bring about criminal prose-
BUTTONS?
Fourth, the secretary of the
treasury in his scheme of reorgan-
ization must provide for putting
men with brains directly in
charge of the assessment and col
lection of the tax and give them
an opportunity to work.
Last, but not least, the bureau
needs the time and the force to
find out accurately and fully the
results Of the two years of in
questions | asked about the tax
could not be answered because
the figures have never been COM
piled. Nobody knows how much
the tax for 1918 or for 1914 has
yielded, because the data on col
lections apply to the fiscal year
in which the tax was taken in and
not to the year in which it was
due.
All the information in the re-
turns could be tabulated for &c.,
600 and would be absolutely in
valuable not only as the best pos
sible index of our national econ
omic condition, but as revealing
the points at which the income
tax is being lodged.
AT present the dominant
idea in the enforcement of
the act is SECRECY; no vital
results will he secured until
PUBLICITY is made the slo-

md so the directors agreed to saddle Inore debt on the company.
 Mr. Hitler criticising the salary paid MT. Elliott said that MT. Mellen had said because the directors gave it to him, was the reason he received his large salary, although he believed no railroad president was worth more than $25,000.
 Mr. Hitler sharply criticised the roads management and was applaud ed when he stopped. Several others spoke along similar lines.
 Elliott Replies.
 President Elliott replying to the criticisms said the stockholders had forgotten that the properties which had been so costly to the New Haven road had been voted for by them; none of the present directors had anything to do with these acquisitions. The federal government had said some of these properties were illegally acquired and brought suit. The stockholders voted to settle the suit.
 The directors did not create con- ditions but they are trying faithfully to correct them.
 MT. Hitler, he said, had criticised salaries. "It was true that salaries were large," MT Elliott My own is the same as I had on the Northern Pacific and $25,000 less than I was offered by another road" Other sal aries, he said. are fixed on a com- mercial basis. Men are paid for their value. If salaries were cut these valuable men would go elsewhere
 MT. Elliott said he would not re- ply to one stockholders remarks that the road had been footed and robbed ir the past, as he knew nothing about it. As to the publicity agents salary q competent man is employed at a salary worthy of his ability. He has rot given out inaccurate information The road never issued a statement that the president would resign.
 MT. Elliott said that he had not in- tentiOn of resigning. He came here to build up the property because he had a love for New England. So long as help is given him he will stay but if big task easier he "would not butt his head against @ wall indefinitely"
 MT Elliott spoke of various labor. transportation and governmental troubles and said that if stockholders cooperate the task will be made easier.
 In conclusion he explained the New Haven station decision, saying that the company did not want to build it but business interests said that 1t must be built 21,d rather than invoke
