State Department Awaits Ruling in
Libel Case Now Pending in
Federal Court.

Washington, D. C.-The state de-
partment sent to Count Won Bern
sorff, the German ambassador, it's
decision in the case of the British
liner Appam, which was captured by
a German raider and brought into
Hampton Roads in charge of prize
crew. Announcement of the contents
will be withheld at the request of
counsel for the German government,
pending decision in the libel action
brought by agents of the original
British holders in the federal court
zat Norfolk.
The court will be allowed to inter
pref the Prussian-American treaty,
which is claimed by Germany to pro-
vide that a German prize may re-
main in American waters indefinitely,
with immunity from legal proceed
ings, instituted by the original own
ers in an attempt to regain posses
sion of the ship.
In awaiting an Interpretation of the
treaty by the courts, the state depart
ment is acting in accordance with
precedent. The executive branch of
the government always has refrained
from interfering with the judiciary
in such cases.

RUSSIAN WAR LOAN IN JAPAN
Nepponese Bankers Take $25, 200, 900
in Securities to Pay for
War Munitions.

Toxic, Japan.-Russia has placed
a war loan of 100000 yen or about
S25,O00,000, with Japanese bankers.
The operation is really for the pur-
pose of paying part for the great
quantities of war munitions which
the Japanese government ano private
arsenals are furnishing the Russian
government.
The loan takes the form of Rus
sian treasury bills in denomination of
5000 to 10000 yen and the rate of
interest is per cent. The bonds.
redeemable in one year, will be issued
at the rate of 50. Though the sub
scription list will be opened TO the
public, the syndicate of Japanese
bankers interested in the loan does
not seem to expect general support.

vote be taken on an issue so clear
cut that there can be no misunder-
standing by interested parties.

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax

So many rumors have been circu-.

Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
of Finance, of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be Civ.

made it clear that the revenue will be.
raised by taxing the profits of incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits of unincorporated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profits.
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies,
banks, mining, milling, and other COM
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies, and dom.
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged In a&rI-
culture or stock raising, are EXEMPT.
and pay no part Of this taxation. The,
only other additional taxation PHO
posed is an increase of fifty cents "a.
barrel in the customs duty on applesA,
and one-half cent gallon in customH
duty on certain kinds of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxatio8s
is being applied in such way that 10
does not affect farmers in the slight4
est degree, except, perhaps, through q
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out

profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who.
have been making big profits and are,
able to pay it, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
