new FRENCH TAXES
HIT EVEN THE DEG

Washington, Dec. 21.-New taxes
proposed in France to care for in
creased war expenditures next year
extend in many directions, reports to
the United States government show,
One tax would assess mobilizable
men not actually performing military
duty IL francs each, and also an ad-

the income tax paid by the persons as
sessed. Another would be a national
levy on dogs.
Heavier taxes are planned on mines,
clubs. horses and vehicles, incomes,
personal estates, traffic in alcoholic
drinks and many other things. Prices
are to be raised on tobacco, a gov
ernment monopoly, and taxes viii be
laid on the domestic consumption OF
coffee. tea, cocoa and condiments.
Under the plan the income tax will
be raised from to per cent and the
exemption lowered to 5000 francs.

COLUMBIAN SUNK
FOR SENDING S. 0. S.

Berlin, Dec 81. - The American
steamship Columbian was torpedoed
by a German submarine because its
officers, through the wireless, gave in
formation to the enemy endangering
the salty of the submersible.
The action of the U-boat command
er was in accord with international
law.
This Is the argument in a note
handed by the German foreign Office
to Joseph c. Grew, American charge
d'affaires.
How the commander of the U-bOat
after stopping the Columbian and de-
manding to see the ships papers. de.
cided to pass the boat without inspec.
tion is detailed In the note. The sub
marine then submerged and later re-
ported to it's own wireless station.
At this submarine base the German
commander was informed, the note
says, that the Columbian was sending
out wireless messages containing an
S. o. S. and telling the exact where
abouts of the submarine.
The U-boat then returned and sank
the Columbian after placing the crew
aboard Norwegian steamer and as
certaining that the ship carried con
