INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS INCREASE
Officials Expect Surplus in Treas
 ury at End Of Fiscal Year: \

Washington, March 16-Internal revenue receipts of the government have shown such a marked increase during the last few months over those of the same months last year that treasury department officials now are hopeful that the present fiscal year, which ends June 30, will find the treasury with surplus. At the close of the fiscal year 1915 there was deficit of about $35, 900, 900.
 Ordinary internal revenue receipts up to date this year amount to about $266, 1000, 900, compared with about $228, 1000, 900 for the same period in 1915. With about three and one-half months left before the fiscal year ends, officials expect to see the lead over last year in ordinary receipts in creased by possibly $15, 5,OOO,OO0 more
 Customs Revenue Lower.
 Customs receipts are running j slightly behind those of 1915, the difference against this year to date being about $5,0O0,OOO
 No accurate forecast of what can be expected from the personal and corporation income tax can be ex- pected as yet by officials of the .n- ternal Revenue bureau. Unofficial re- ports from some of the collection districts, however, indicate a larger number of returns and a good pros Feet for an appreciable increase in the amount of tax to be paid.
 Last Years Receipts $415,OOO, ,OOO
 The total receipts of the Internal Revenue Bureau last year from all sources, including income tax. was about $415, 00O, 900, and this year off, cials expect the total to be some- where near $4S0,0O0,O00.
 If this proves to be the case, al- though expenditures have been greater, the government would come out with an excess of receipts over disbursements for the current twelve months.
 The cause of the increase in ordi- nary internal revenue receipts has not been figured out, but the emer- gency tax, which was not in effect daring part of the fiscal year 1915, and an increase in the use of articles subject to other internal revenue tax ation are believed to be responsible.

 This statement was made yesterday by Gen. E. M. Weaver, Chief of thd Seacoast Artillery Corps after his rc turn from witnessing the firing by thd battleships New York and Arkansad of fourteen-inch guns with heayJ charges against land Notifications al Fort Morgan near Mobile.
 For two days the vessels hurled explosive shells at ranges of, 5.00N 10000 and 16, 900 yards against specially constructed target on thu shore which represented coast fori with a mounted 10-inch gun.

LOCK OF LINCOLN'S
 HAIR IS WORTHLESS
Left to Metropolitan Museum of Art Without Value Says Transfer
 Ia\ ADDTa iScr.

New York, March 1G.-.t lock of blood stained hair from the head of Abraham Lincoln has been judged as of no value by the transfer tax ap- praiser. It was one of several items which General James Grant Wilson left in his will to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. General Wilson died on February 1, 1914. The fact that similar items so disposed of in the will have a value placed on them in the appraisers report to the Surrogate5 court, while the lock of Lincoln's hair has not, might be due to absence of auth entication.
 All the articles left to the Mctropol- itan Museum were appraised at SIS. They included ring containing halr of Washington. Hamilton, Wellington, Napoleon, Lincoln and Grant, $50; a pair of gold sleeve links, said to have belonged to Washington, $2.50; and autographed pictures of Lincoln and Edward NII 50 cents each. There were several medals of celebrations. A collection of manuscripts was ap- praised at $75.
 General Wilson's estate was valued at $7.S16 of which Mrs. Mary H. Will son. his widow receives $3,519, the rest going to two sisters and to pay the cost of administration and funer- al expenses. General Wilson had bonds valued at $6,547 and deposits of $949.

London, March 16, 9:46 a. m.-An Amsterdam despatch to the Exchange Telegraph company says that the mu- nicipal auth critics in Germny have been instructed to take a census of all neutral foreigners who nave lived in each city uninterruptedfy for five years
 Male foreigners who have lived un- interruptedly for five years in Ger many will be considered as having lost their previous citizenship and will be regarded as Germans and, there fore, liable to military service. These men will be enrolled in the army, but will not be sent to the front. They will be put to work in offices so as to re- lease men of the landsturin, who will thus be able to take their places in the fighting line.

GERMANY IN AGONY.
 SAYS NEUTRALENVOY
Population Graves Peace and Riot
 ing Is General, He States

London, March 16-FrOm a most trustworthy informant, who cannot be designated more specifically than to say he is the Consul of a neutral country in one of Germany's largest cities, a man born of a German mother, the London correspondent of the New York Times learns that re cent reports of growing dissatisfac- ton in Germany published in che foreign press understate rather than exaggerate the case. The informant said he had personal cognizance of rioting on an extensive scale in Mu- nich, Dusseldorf. and Frankfort. The spirit of the people generally had completely changed. "Women" he said, "who in the early stages of the war were exchanging their gold rings for iron ones in a fervor of patriot ism were now crying, Give us back our husbands and our sons."
 There was, he said, no question that the German population generally craved peace. When told of the re- port current here that Colonel E. M House had carried back to President Wilson information that, while Ger many undoubtedly wanted to make peace, the terms WnlCh the Allies would seek to impose upon her would nerve her to further efforts, with the Allies would seek to impose upon her to further efforts with the result Of protracting the war by possibly an- other three years beyond the period originally predicted by Lord Kitchen CT, this neutral official said Colonel House probably had derived his views from conversations with German higher officials, who naturally would wish to convey such an impression, with the idea of obtaining President Wilson's intervention on Germanys behalf, but that, so far as he had been able to judge, the German peo- pie had no stomach for a prolonged war.
 Germany is in agony" was the informant's phrase. Tt is only q question of how long the agony will last.'

LIBERAL use OF
Printers INK
THIS is A MARKED FEATURE
OF THE PRIMARY CAM
PAIGN JUST CLOSED
PRACTICE IS ALMOST GENERAL
KELLOGG AND FRANKSON WERE
! HEAVIEST INvESTORS--SOME
OTHERS CLOSE BEHIND

st. Paul, June 1.-the campaign
lust closed was marked by the heav-
lest use of printers ink in the history
of the state and politicians generally
are agreed that new method OF
reaching the voting public has been
established. That the new idea will
continue as long as the present pri-
mary laws remain in force they are
certain, but how to handle it so that
the expenditures will not become 3
burden and a scandal is what worries
them. That there will be get to-
gether on the proposition before an
other campaign is more than probable.
To attempt even conservative estl-
mate covering the investment in black
and white as used in the recent cam
paign would be of little value, as there
is practically nothing on which to base
an estimate, but it is fairly safe to say
that it runs into six figures. While
Thomas Frankson, candidate for lieu
tenant governor, and Frank B. Kel-
Iogg, candidate for senator, were UNI
doubtedly the heaviest investors in
printers ink they had close seconds
in practically every other candidate
on the state ticket. Expenditures of
the same kind even extended to candi-
dates for places on the supreme court
and the legislature. In the counties
where county commissioners were
named similar investments were made.
The expenditure of black and white
ran to advertisements in the local pa
pers, placards and the billboards. AS
to candidates cards, millions were dis
tributed. One candidate is known to
have put out over 100000 cards call
ing attention to his candidacy. While

the expenditures generally were legit-
innate and there is no general protest
as to the methods used, many of the
candidates have a grievance, and they
run mostly to the Cities, where some
claim that holdup methods were used.
For instance, to distribute 1000 plac-
ards in the Twin Cities $50 was ex-
acted, and woe betide the candidate
who, in the interest of economy, did
his own distributing. He generally
found them torn down and mutilated.
The printing tolls, it is claimed by
some, were also boosted for the occa-
sion. To the credit of the newspapers,
however, space rates only were ex-
acted and many as result put prac-
tically all their expenditures into this
class of publicity. They found, as a
rule, that it paid. That the new idea
in campaigning will receive attention
at the hands of the next legislature is
generally believed; that some restric-
lions will be attempted is certain.
Though Minnesota Democrats are
not fully agreed on one feature of the
St. Louis convention-the selection OF
Fred B. Lynch of st. Paul to succeed
himself as national committman-
there is a general desire to get to-
gether on the party nominees for pres
ident and vice president, and it is
more than likely that the Ratchet will
be buried. The olive branch is now
being handed around and few have
turned it down. Though a vigorous
fight was made on Mr.. Lynch his enc
mics could not get him. President
Wilson is understood to have backed
The St. Paul man and had he been
turned down the administration would
nave used him in some other mana
yerial capacity. The president and
his running mate, Vice President Mar
shall, are generally acceptable to Min
lesota Democrats and the work of the
eaders will now be directed at fur
herring the interests of the two in the
North Star state. Probably it is not
known, but considerable
