Four Aerial Attacks Made in
Forty-eight Hours BY Ger
mans in New Campaign.

LONDON. Ian. ~ -Tol'r German rpI1s
on English ChaRrol norts in fcr'v-e'S''t :
hours and the bombing Of run'n-ans
villages behind tho French limos marks
the inau@ura ton OF new German cam
paiGn from the air
An official statement from 40 ai-
miralty today reportcd a raid nv two
German aercplanes on the French sna-
rort OF Durkirk ~ O'Clock this morn
ing. The admiralty added that n Ger
man acrop ane. possibly one Of th"se en-
gagged in the DunlIirk attnck. was shot
down by British aviator vt y o'clock 1T
N.euport, eighteen miles from Dunklrk.
and short distance from the Cerma
lines.
The Donkirk raid fellows two bomb 'ng
expeditions to English coast towns and
an Attempted attack on Dover yester-
day afternoon. in which the German
was driven off by British a.rmen.
The type of machine uFed by the Ger
mans in these latest attacks from the
statements issued either in London or
Berlin. London writer's on aeronaut.Cs s
believe the Germans have equipped
their new Fokkers to carry heavy car
soes of bombs, and are planning srs-
tematic raids to terroriZe French and
English civilians.
Dunkirk until recently was the head
quarters for the staff OF one cf the
British armies in northern France
Since the removal of these Headquarters

attacks. The first great air battle OF
the war was fought along the sand
dunes between Dunkirk and N!euport,
when British air squadron engaged
and defeated a German fotilla returning

ASKS j. S. RULE ON
LINERS WITH GUNS

Tho Austrian government. 1t was
stated on reliable authority today will
ask the l'ni'cd States to ADOPT a fixed
rule with reference TO tho question Of
permitting armed merchant liners to
enter and depart from American ports
Arrival OF the Italian steamship Ve-
rora in New York with two mounted
"8'ns moved Austria to mako new nrn-
tes'. The Vienna government mode
"tn'o o"1stic reD"""rntationS whom tho
Itahsn liner Giuseppe Verdi recently
entered New York harbor with two
Torrtod guns. Secretary Of state
ar~ing permitted the Verdi Ia depart
with the guns still mounted after re-
cCi"ing assurances. from the steamers :
officers that the guns were INTENDED
oh'V for defensive purposes and would
not rc used for attack
Secretary Lansing assured Baron
Nv iedineL. the Austrian charge that
the ruling in the Verdi case was not to
be accepted as > precedent but that IL
appiicG only to the Individual case. The
Austrian charge indicated that II an
otner mounted encmv liner arrived his
government would make vigorous nro-
test and ask the United States to adopt
a fixed rule
TIE Austrian position Is that inasmuch
as no austrian warships are at sea ex-
ceOt submarines an enemy liner can
oniN be armed for attacking submarines,
me Verona case is expected to bring
un for final settlement the question of
Whether armed ships are entitled to inn

rCRdiustmfnt OF the schedules, may
produce the needed revenues without
imposing on one class a burden that ~
onCrous.
May Be Readjustment.
II ls argued by members OF the Ways
mud Means Committee. for instance
that there properly may be a readjust-
mcnt OF the classes of incomes-that Is.
tho tax on the relative incomes may be
CLOSED In so that the man earning
Z 0.O0l- to SEQ Oc0 shall pay certain tax
Instead Of including in one class Az per- PEI,
sons who get between 100000 ana tOV'Vvv'
This Encouragement would gather In
revenue all down the ] nc.
While certain Democrats doubt the cN-
pediency Of such slation-looklng AZ
the matter from political and not an
economic standpoint--it is probable that
tho income tax exemptions VIII also be
lowered. The exemptions at present
Rro $1,000 for the married man or wo-
man. and $1,000 for the unmarried taxee.
rho new exemptions are likely to be
$1,000 and 500 respectively and IeW
millions may be realized by this change.
ut Is not proper that ] should talk
about probable rates at this time said
Mr.. Hull today. But II can be said
with reasonable certainty that the in
come may be amended to produce from
$40. 10000 to 800. 100000 additional with
out imposing hardships upon any class.
Suggests General Revision.
My suggestion is that this shall be
accomplished by general revision Of
the income tax law and possibly re-
adjustment of the classes as to the
amount OF income that shall be paid by
men who receive Incomes between GER
tain figures. The decision of the Su-
preme Court upholds the broad prin-
ciple Of the income tax, and there is
nothing to prevent making II pro-
ducer OF more revenue. While increases
in the surtaXes are planned. It is err
,roneous to believe that these increases
win be so burdensome that they will
cause just criticism. 1t is not proposed
that the increases against the so-called
wealthier classes shall be in the nature
OF confscatory legislation. although 1t
is likely they will be appreciable and
quite productive"
The income tax now turns into the
TreastHJ from $S5, 900 900 to 500 000. 900. II
it can be stretched-and the party lead
ers intend to stretch tito bring in $780,
O0).0OO the revenue problem of the Demo-
Gratis will practically be solved, and
there will be no resultant loud wall
from the ordinary taxpayer and com
I mon people"

ARMOR PLATE COST
SLC:.ET TO TRADE
Manufacturers Refuse Facts to
Senate Committee-GoVern
ment Plant Bill Favored.

Arniur plate manufacturers today
flntly refused to tell the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee the actual cost of
their product. AS result the hear
ing by which they hoped to postpone
n favorable report on the Govern
ment armor plate bill. practically Is
at an end. The bill will be reported
favorahly.
The manufacturers had come be-
fore the committee at the request OF
Senator Penrose to give their reasons
for opposing Government competition
with them. From the first senators
I'Oindexter, Swanson and Plttman
querlcd them on cost. The manufac-
turers alleged this was a trade secret
which they could not disclose and
which II was unfair for the Govern
mcnt to ask, since IT was contcm-
plating entering the business.
This ends the hearing so far as |
am concerned" said PoindeNter to tho
committee. "rhese gentlemen were
given this opportunity to state their
side OF the case and for reasons sat
tsfactory to them they declined to
state a nara of IT,"
Secretary Daniels was present dur
mc the meeting.
Following Poindexters suggestion the
armor plate men offered to give the
committee members in private the cost
ol production. But this offer was re-
tected on a protest by Senator ClapT
that he would receive no information
as public officer which he could not
communicate to the public.
President d Dnkey. of the MidvalC
Company, who was speaking for the
armor plate men, then said the estimate
made by navy officers that the fac
tory cost of armor should he about
SSo2 ton was very nearly correct. The
real cost. he said. was slightly higher
Committee members said they wanted
the armor plate manufacturers own
books and figures on the business.

The First Delegates.

The first delegates chosen TO the
Republican National convention are
those from Florida, where the State
convention was held on the 9th of
February. Eight uninstructed dele
gates were selected and the conven-
ton adopted this resolution:
Eve look with confidence to the
Republican National Convention to
nominate a presidential candidate
that will inspire and unity all patri-
otto citizens who believe in protection,
prosperity and preparedness and who
will secure for all Americans at home
and abroad protection for life and
property" TX
The delegation from Florida is said
to be made up of representative and
responsible Republicans who may be
depended upon to find, in the field of
candidates. exactly the kind of man
for leader whom their resolution
describes. In fact, that is the kind of
man whom all Republicans every
where wish to put at the head of the
ticket this year. No other kind of a
man can possibly win nomination
in a convention free from acrimony
and scandal 1t will be animated by
sincere and patriotic purposes, shared
alike by the first delegates to be
chosen and by the last as we'll

KEEPING HIS COURAGE UP.

In spite of the rather pathetic fias-
co at that harmony" dinner, Mr. La
Palette is able to say:
81 am confident we shall nominate
and elect governor, a state ticket, a
state legislature that will put WiscOn-
sin in the vanguard of progress
again"
In short, the senator is able to per-
suade himself that the taxpayers of
the state have so far forgotten their
grievances and their "barbaric yawp"
against the taxpayers in 1914 that they
are about ready to submit their fleece
to the progressive" shears again
We have higher opinion of their
common sense than he has. His man
Bosshard will have about as good a
chance for election in 1916 as his man
Blaine had in 1914.
The people are wise to" the pro
gressive" thimberling, senator. They
were "bunked' by it. They know it.
They had the cost of state government
run up on them Qargely for the bene-
fit of untaXed gentlemen with no visi-
BILE means of support but politics)
from $4,O00,OOO to s1S,OOO,O0O, while
the population increased but Is per
cent
They are sore yet 1t makes them
still sorer when they think that while
Gov. Philip materially reduced ex-
penses, he would have reduced them
still more but for the obstruction of
the La Toilette left overs in the SEN
ate and the progressive" state job
trust generally
AS for the senator himself there is
a pretty general opinion that. if the
right opponent is selected for him and
the self-nominated vote splitters keep
out of the contest this time, it will re-
quire even more than his fair mind
ed" democrtic vote to pull him through
the primaries.
This republican state will need at
least one dependable republican vote
in the national senate when the tariff
comes up again. The party will need
it, too, and that consideration alone
should be enough to defeat this re-
publican for Office and democrat in Of
flee who went back on his own state
by voting for the democratic tariff
