WANT MONEY FOR ARMENIANs.
Miss Pasha Plans Mass Meeting to be
Held in Kenosha February % for
Sufferers Abroad.

Miss Elizabeth Pasha, who is fur
thering the project of holding mass
meeting in the interests of oppressed
Armenians, came to Kenosha yester-
day to make arrangements for the
meeting that is to be held Feb. 20 in
the Rhode opera house.
Miss Pasha has enlisted the interest
Of many prominent men and women in
the city and promises to bring a speaker
from Chicago that all will be interested
in hearing.
Miss Pasha, who was formerly su-
perintendent of the Girls club of this
city, is an Armenian who has been in
America but three years.
She has been unable to get any let
ter to her family and has heard nothing
from them since last April. She fears
that they have met misfortune.
Although she forwarded check for
$50 to them through the American con-
sui some months ago in registered
letter, no receipt has been returned to
her, and she is of the opinion that the
mail was intercepted and opened by
the German government. AS she adj
dressed the letter to the American con-
sui with a request that the consul cash
the check and forward the money to
her people, she feels sure that it must
have been intercepted or she would
have had the postofice receipt for the
registered letter returned to her by the
consul.

There are other advantages which
make st. Thomas desirable a port of

provided with strong lights and ex-

PERU WORKS ON PLAN
FOR AN INCOME TAX
Minister of Finance Names Commit
tee to Investigate and Re
port to Next Congress.

Commercial Attache William F. Mon
tavan, at Lima, Peru. has notified the
Department of Commerce that June 6
the minister of finance appointed q
committee whose duty 1t will be to in
vestigate and report during the next
session of the Peruvian congress on the
subject of an income tax for Peru. with
recommendations as to the applicability
of such a tax to that republic.
Economic conditions resulting from
the European war were met by the
adoption of emergency revenue meas
ureS by the Peruvian congress. Among
them was the export tax on certain
raw materials. This export tax be-
comes effective only when the market
value of the commodity against which
it is levied reaches a certain level. The
purpose of the law has been to fix this
figure at point slightly above the
certain sense the export tax may be
said to be an indirect tax on profits
or income. The export tax has been
so successful that the department of
finance has felt encouraged to advo-
cate an out-and-out income tax. The
report of the committee appointed to
study the subject is but logical out
growth. therefore. of developments of
the past few months.
The introduction Of an income tax in
Peru will meet with the customary diff
taxes and the lack Of any systematic
organization for the collection and
analysis of exact economic statistics
from which accurate estimates can be
made of the earnings of any given in

BRAZIL OFFERS A HAVEN
TO HOMELESS RUSSIANS
Arrangements Being Made for Es-
tablishing Colonies After
the War.

According to the Jornal do CONNER.
clio (BraziD, the Russian colonizing
commission has returned from its trip
to the south of Brazil. The objects of
this commission, which represents pri-
vate companies, are to place in South
America, principally in Brazil and Ar
pentina, Russian families left home
less in the western part Of Russia on
account of the war, and to estapllsn
a direct steamship service between
Riga and South American ports. The
members of the commission state tnat
the immigrants would not be undesir-
able people, but strong and healthy
families accustomed to farm life, and
that most of them would bring money
enough to engage here in agricultural
pursuits.
AS regards the commercial inter-
change, Russia could import from Bra
zil large quantities OF conee, nne
woods. cacao, tobacco and minerals,
the war through Hamburg in very
disadvantageous manner for Russia.
Once the direct lines were opened,
steamers could bring immigrants ana
those products which Russia could fur-
nish, and would return loaded with
coffee and other Brazilian produce.
In Sac Paulo the commissioners had
a conference with the secretary of ag-
riculture with reference to placing a
large number of families in coffee cul-
tivation, the government of the state
paying the fares, provided the immi-
grants do not come in lots exceeding
500 at time. AS far as settlement by
private initiative is concerned, they
succeeded in closing negotiations with
the Brazil railway and the Noroeste
do Brazil, the Sac Paulo government
also being willing to pay the ocean
fares of these settlers. The Brazil
railway is determined to continue the
work of settling the lands close to its
lines and will receive in each settle
ment from fifty to one hundred fam
lilies. giving the immigrants all facili-
ties to become independent and pros
porous. In Argentina arrangements
were made for placing settlers in the
province Of Mendoza In Chile the
commissioners negotiated with the gov
ernment for settling the country south
of Valparaiso.
The formal do Commercio adds: The
members of the Russian commission
know that this is a period of economies
for Brazil and that their plans can be
carried out only after the war is over"

Gasoline go Cents a Gallon.

In 1913 theer were some twenty auto
mobiles in and around Port au Prince,
Haiti. Most OF these were of a cheap
make and came from the United States.
Perhaps more than half of the number
were operated as public conveyances The
bad condition of many of the Port au
Prince streets and of the roads contigu-
Gus to the city soon shook the vehicles
loose in every bolt, with no experienced
mechanics available for making repairs.
Further. the chauffeurs were said to be
incompetent and careless. 1t is related
that they would start on a trip with no
knowledge whatever as to how much
gasoline was on hand. The car would
run out of fuel at some remote place,
perhaps. and the driver would leave it
where 1t stalled. There it would remain
for possibly a week. and meanwhile the
torrential rains and blazing sun were
not helping the general condition Of the
vehicle.

TROUBLES ARE ASCRIBED
TOTHE LACK OF VESSELS
Consul General Robertson Points
Out Disadvantages Of q. S.
Trade in South America.

Disadvantages under which the United
States commerce to Buenos Aires and
other South American markets Is con-
Quoted are emphasized in a report from
Consul General W. Henry Robertson.
The trouble, he says. is principally due
to the lack OF American vessels in which
| to carry American products. or to carry
articles either way between the United
States and the Argentine Republic. An
Illustration of these disadvantages Is
seen in an item published by the Times
of Argentina. 1t stated:
1t is satisfactory to note that very
important contract has recently been
closed with British manufacturers. Mr..
+. de c. NJ. Heriot, representative of the
Stavely Coal and Iron Company, has OBJ
tanned an order for $4,000 tons of iron
piping for the national sanitary works de-
partment, at an approximate cost OF
So, 600, 900.
This is possibly the most important
contract signed since the declaration of
war. and 1t proves that British factories,
despite the war, can still compete on ia
vorable terms with neutral concerns.
There were seven tenders for this order,
one being from combination of five or
SIX of the most important factories of
the United States. We congratulate Mr..
Heriot and the Stavely Coal and Iron
Company on the success of their efforts.
1t is probable that the lower freights
from Europe. as compared with those now
ruling from the states, permitted the
British offer to be lower than those of
other competitors.
The lower freights from Europe. as
compared with those now ruling from the
United States, were responsible for the
lower British offer. 1t must not be for
gotten, however, that the voyage from
New York to Buenos Aires is materially
shorter in nautical miles than that from
the most southwesterly port in the British
Isles
