ALLIES SEIZE GREEK WARSHIPS;;
ATHENS SITUATION NEARS CRISIS

London.--A Reuters dispatch from
Athens says the situation appears to
be dangerous. There have been Royal
ist demonstrations in the streets. Ad-
miral du Fournet, commander of the
entente allied fleet in the Mediterran-
can, was hissed and detachment OF
French sailors was driven back by a
hostile crowd.
A procession of some 1000 malcon-
tents, headed by the Greek and Amer
lean flags, stopped outside the Ameri-
can legation, protested against the
landing of foreign marines and de-
manded the protection Of the Ameri-
can minister, who was absent.
"The demonstrators then paraded
the streets singing the Greek national
anthem"
The entente allies have taken over
the Greek battleships Kilkis and Lem
nos, formerly the United States war
ships Idaho and Mississippi, which
were sold to Greece several years ago.
The Greek battleship Averoff also has
been seized by the allies, says Reu-
ter's Athens correspondent.
Allied crews were put on board the
battleships, the correspondent says,
and the Greek crews were landed and
sent to Athens.
On October II the allies took over
the entire Greek fleet except the Kill
kis, Lemnos and Averoff. This meas
ure, it was explained unofficially, was
intended to insure the safety Of the
allied fleet as fears had been aroused
of disturbance at points where the
war vessels of the allies were an
chored.
Athens, via London.-The British
legation explains that the landing of
marines at Athens and Piraeus was
merely intended to reinforce the po-
lice. 1t is generally thought, however,
that this action was taken to prevent
demonstrations.
Marines from the ships of the en-
tente powers to the number of about
1000 have been landed at Piraeus and
have occupied the railway station at
Piraeus and several buildings In
Athens.

containing boiled and mashed

as made with potato flour,

not differ from some of the other rich men of this country, for 1t is presumed that, relatively speaking, the men of cap ital who own large blocks of railway se- curities pay the smallest income tax in proportion to the investment. The rail- roads of the United States are not in these times furnishing very large in- comes to the stockholders-that is to say, large incomes Der share.
 1t is undoubtedly the industrial corpor- ations which have furnished the largest income tax payments to the government, meaning by this statement the individuals who are in possession of the securities of industrial corporations. The sulphur company whose stockholders could not be persuaded to sell a stock whose par value is s100 for S1000O share is very close corporation. There is no need of publicity for the benefit of stockholders since there are so very few of them and these few are so closely associated with the management that they are able to
 carry the details, as Daniel Drew used to do, in their heads. Another very close corporation whose stockholders have pre- sumably paid, relatively speaking, income taxes which rank among the largest is the so-called sewing machine trust. There is still another corporation occupied with
 the manufacture of cartridges, whose plant is at Lowell, Mass. which is listed among the very close corporations, the stock being in q few hands. War orders have yielded profits of such magnitude that the stockholders of this corporation for the first time since the income tax law
 was enacted have paid what are relative 1y speaking, very large taxes. So, also, the stockholders of the Winchester Arms
 company of New Haven, and of the great
 tool manufacturing property at Provi- dence, R. l., are members, each of a very close corporation. The profits earned by these corporations are enormous and
 the business has been so great that the
 Winchester Arms company has been com peled to come out from behind closed doors and make some revelation of it's condition because it's very prosperity has
 entailed new financing upon large scale.
 It is the presumption of some of the in- ternal revenue collectors that not only those who have received large profits on account of war orders have contributed to the astonishing increase of the in- come tax receipts of this year, but also small investors whose proportionate part in tax payments as fairly represents gen.
 eral prosperity as do the tax payments made by the very large owners of stocks of the great industries. Some of the pri- vate banking houses have made so much
 money that the partners reported, it is understood, in some cases double the in come they reported in their returns for 1914. There appears to be no doubt that even though the income tax rate be not increa sed the returns for this year will yield as large an amount to the govern ment as was the tax which was paid at the close of the past fiscal year.
