INCREASED TAXES -.
CAUSE TROUBLE

New York, May 13.-This city,
which led by Mayor Fernando Wood,
wanted to secede from the United
States during the Civil war, now
wants to break away from New York
State because of taxes. But the
great majority of the people argue
this way: ut costs more to live in
New York, but it is worth it," Ev-
cry property owned in Manhattan
who pays taxes on a home assessed
for $4,000, pays SIT more than he
did last year. Taxpayers in other
burroughs find similar increases in
their tax bills. With an estimated
surplus of SIS, 100000 in the State
treasury, the city's taxpayers must
nevertheless come across with S14,-
100000 Of the s20,00O,000 direct
tax imposed upon the people of the
State under the Albany financial pol
icy. When New Workers study the
raise in the tax rate as it shows in
dollars and cents on their tax bills
maybe they will realize that State
direct tax is something to be scrut-
inized before it happens.

Nearly 10000 in Defense Parade

New York, May 13.-The Citizens
preparedness parade, which took
place in this city today, was one of
the most impressive sights the peo-
pie of New York have ever seen.
Early this morning incoming trains
were crowded with visitors, many Of
whom came from cities far distant
for the privilege of watching nearly
100000 men, representing fifty-one
different trades and all phases of
business in line of march. One thing
that contributed toward the success
of the parade was it's non-partisan-
ship. 1t was purely public dem
onstration favoring national prepar-
edness. Nothing like it has been
seen in New York since the famous
gold parade" of 1896, when the late
William Mckinley was running for
president against William Jennings
Bryan. Thirty-five full brass bands
were required to furnish music for
the marchers Many places of bust
ness closed all day so that their en-
ployes might take part in the pa
rade, which was reviewed by Mayor
Mitchell and many other distin-
guished guests,

IRON AND STEEL COM
PANIES SHOW BIG PROFITS
(By Associated Press. J

Vienna, May 13 .-Austria's two
have just published their balance
sheets for last year, and both show
huge profits.
The Alpinen Montangesellschaf
shows a clear profit of nearly four
million dollars as compared with less
than $1,S0O,OOO in 1914. The divi-
dend paid was 81 per cent. In 1914
it was only IL per cent. The board
of administration fees and salaries
and other allowances amounted to
considerably more than 100000.
The second corporation, the Oes-
terreichischen Berg und Huetten-
werksgesellschaft also did very we'll
last year, making clear profit of
$1,70O,000, which was 100000
more than in the preceding year.
The dividend declared was IS per
cent against IL 1-2 per cent in 1914.
These are the highest profits made
since the corporation was organized.
The principal stockholder is the
Archduke Frederick, at present COM
mander-in-chief of the Austro-Hun-
garian forces in the field and reputed
to be the wealthiest member of the
Hapsburg imperial family, next to
the emperor.
The total number Of employees Is
14,5OO, and the aggregate wages for
the year amounted to less than 49,
100000 crowns ($3,2OO,OOO, which
works out at an average of 1920 a
year for each person, not much more
than four dollars a week. The total
payroll is, as the Vienna Arbeiter
Zeitung points out, less than double
the amount of the profits.
In the reports of both corporations
it is interesting to note that theiI
production increased but little; their
great profits were due to the rise in
the price of iron. 1t appears that
the prices of bar iron rose 81 pei
cent, steel rails 15 per cent, and
miscellaneous iron goods Is per cent
above those in 1914. Coal was Il
per cent dearer.

GERMAN VICE CHANCELLOR HAS
RESIGNED; THERE HAS BEEN
MUCH DISSATISFACTION
(By Associated Press. }

Paris. May 3.-The French
trenches southwest of Fourt Douau-
mont, and the positions north Of
Thiaumont Farm were violently
bombarded yesterday. according to
the war office. All German attacks
were repulsed with heavy losses. On
the left bank of the Meuse artillery
combats continue.
The Douaumont region on the YER
dun front, where the Germans for
over two months held close to their
original line of advance, is again the
scene of desperate fighting. The
French claim to have repulsed strong
attacks after a violent German bonn
bardment.
Vienna reports activity on both
the Italian and Russian fronts. The
resignation of DR.. Clemons Del
brueck, German vice chancellor, and
the minister of the interior on ac-
count Oh Ill Healtn, Is dnHounceu

been widely expressed in Germany

ding of the food situation as the
outgrowth of which riots have been
reported and there recently have
been hints that Delbrueck would re-
sign.

CHINESE ARMY 1T
DOMINATES CHINA
(By Associated Press. }

Hankow, May 13 Mot Yuan Sht-
kai, but the Chinese army, is master
Of China, according to the Daily
Central China Post of this city,
which has leading article denounc-
ing the military machine in China,
and predicts that there will be no
permanent peace until the army Is
made smaller and placed under the
control of civil authority.
The Post says: "The present mas
ter of China Is neither monarchist
nor republican, neither Yuan Sht-
kai nor Tsai 40, but the army. The
great difficulty Of the situation In
China lies in the fact that this Is q
machine which constantly gets out
of the drivers control. The only
persons in connection with the prov
inces which have set up for inde-
pendence OF Peking, who had any
voice In the matter have been the
generals In command of troops. That
the people of the revolving provinces
sympathized with their military
leaders there can be no manner or
doubt, but IL the question had been
put to the vote as to whether they
would rather bear the ills they had
than fly to others that they know
not of, the cautious scholars, farm
ers and merchants would have been
unanimous for peace at any price.
Furthermore, the rest Of China, II
it had any say, would rather see the
present dispute accommodated on
any terms than have civil war rag
ing in the land, but in this case also
the military men will decide and
popular wishes will count for moth
ing"

CHURCH AIDS GARAGE FIGHT

New York, May l3-The so-called
garbage dump" the erection of
which has been arranged on Staten
Island, has aroused the ire of the
residents of the Borough of Rich
mond, and the priests, pastors and
members of the various churches
have Joined in mighty protest
against. An unusual feature of the
fight is the participation in it of the
Roman Catholics of the borough.
The priests state that it is unusual
for the Catholic church to take sides
in a matter of this nature, but 1T is
felt over the island that the dump
would be menace to the health of
the community.
