BIG LOSS BY THE BRITISH
Three Thousand Dead Left on Field,
Thousands Of Others Slain or

Statement From Berlin.

London, Jan. 27.-While the British
are sacrificing thousands OF men IN
heroic effort to cut their way through
to Kut-elAmara, where General Town
shend and British army are bottled
Up by the Turks, the Russians to the
north are making the Turks strain
every nerve to keep them from COM
ing to the aid of the British.
The grand dukes victory near Err
zerum proved to be even greater than
early reports showed. According to
Reuters Telegraph company 1000
Turks were captured by the Russians,
while the number killed, wounded and
forced into scattered flight was enor-
nous. The dispatch adds that che Rus
SLAMS took scores of machine guns
and great quantity of munitions.
The Turks claim that British left
5000 dead on the field in battle in
which they lost ground.

were comparatively slight.

INCOME TAX IS VALID
CONSTITUTIONAL OF LAW Es-
TABLIsHEp BY SUPREME COURT.
Lower Tribunals Upheld and All Argu'
ments Are Answered by Chief
Justice White.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The Supreme
court on Monday upheld the constitu-
tionality of the income tax law. Chief
Justice White announced the decision
in the case of Frank r. Brushaber,
stakeholder of the Union Pacific rail-
road, who sought to enjoin the COM
pany from paying the tax on the
ground that 1t was unconstitutional.
He swept aside the several objections
to the law in whole or in part.
Most of Justice Whites opinion was
directed toward overruling the con-
tention that the income tax amend
ment act provided hitherto I'M
known power of taxation. Going far
into the history Of income tax legis-
lation, the chief concluded the argu-
ment was without merit.
Advancing to other points, the chief
justice held that the tax was not un-
constitutional because 1t was retroac-
tive.
The argument that the law was un.
constitutional because labor, agricul.
tural and horticultural organizations
and such were exempt, the chief jus.
tice held, was answered by decisions
under the corporation tax law. He
said the point was only another illus.
tration OF an erroneous assumption
that the tax was imposed under a
new power conferred upon the gov.
erment by the sixteenth amendment,
whereas it was power recognized to
exist from the beginning of the gov.
eminent and thus decisions defining
the taxing power previously rendered
were applicable to It.
