AMSTERDAM, Ne;her-
 lands, May 12.-The tri-color
 Of the Netherlands has been
 hoisted along the shores of
 the Zuyder Zee to celebrate the fact that the Dutch have
 taken Holland';; that is, they
 have regained possession of
 most of the territory that the
 sea Wrested from them by the
 disastrous floods of last
 January.
 The great breaches that were torn in the dikes have at length been se- curely fill in through the unremitting labor of an army of workmen, and big suction pumps driven by high-power- ed electric motors are pouring 5000 cubic meters of flood water over the sea side of the embankments every LA1Hule. WOl hlliS udy diu IISHI IL 10 expected they will have drained early in May most of the big inland lake that now covers some 35,000 acres of meadow, and surrounds the homes of 10000 people in the region known as Waterland, to the North of Amster- dam. ??
 In all, 200,000,000 cubic meters of
 eawater invaded the Netherlands dur ing the January storm. Down to a certain level 4O,OOO,OOO cubic meters were blown by favorable winds back into the Zuyder Zee and the North Sea Canal, but that limit having been reached the government and provin- cial authorities still had a small ocean of water to remove by pumps. Regi- ments of workmen were first detailed to build emergency dikes at all the preached points. The method of ac- this was to construct rafts of large sheaves of willow twigs, firmly plated together, and when these rafts were strong enough to bear the weight of a squad of workmen, they were strong enough to bear the weight of a squad of workmen, they were ce- mented together with sand and clay, and finally sunk in the gaps by tip ping load of stones on top of them. Tn places the gaps were forty feet 1eep. At Uttdam as many as nine of such layers of rafts and materials had 0 be sunk before the breaches were filed up.
 While the repair of the dikes was in progress miles of electric cable were aid to Monnikendam and Uttdam where enormous centrifugal pumps were later mounted, and the country vas secured for motors powerful though to drive the latter, for it was >ut of the question to obtain such motors from abroad at the time.

BRITISH INCOME TAX BEING
 RAISED

LONDON. April %. - Income tax payers who are now sending their checks to the treasury have had to pay just thirty per cent more than last year, and next year will have an Other forty per cent added to the bill. This was provided for by the finance act of 1915. Some people the tax hits pretty hard, but there is lit tie grumbling. and the collectors re port that the tax has been paid even earlier this year than it was last, when the large tax payers surprised the treasury by paying long before it was due.
 An effort has also been made to in crease the amount received from in come tax by including smaller wage earners and providing that all income. wherever derived shall be subject to taxation. Before the war those earn ing less than Gi6O were exempt; now the figure has been lowered to G130, but these smaller wage earners have been given the privilege of paying quarterly instead of yearly. Many Americans resident in England have been affected by the decision that all income, whether brought to this Coun- try or not, is subject to taxation. Heretofore. an American resident here simply paid on his earnings or the income which he used in this country. Now he must make a return of his in- come from investments abroad This has always applied to Englishmen, but under the new act all residents are included. Canadians. like Americans, who often send their savings home for investment, are now on an equal footing with their British neighbors. The Americans, of course, also have to pay the American income tax. This is what induced a number of them, who have long been resident in this country. to take out British naturali- zation papers year or two ago.

 pr Kamada. in the Japan Magazine, says: "Henceforth as nation the empire enters on new career of un limited hope and ambition. Japans goal is now the most important and most significant possible to people
 Up to the present Japan has been kept in the leading strings of Euro pean thought and civilization. lying abject at the feet of German science sending her young men abroad to ac- quire occidental knowledge before they were thought fit to lead their countrymen. This state of affairs must now change Japan should cease to worship at western shrines.
 For Japan a period of new inven- tions and discoveries is dawning. Up to the present we have been all too busy adopting and adapting and imi- tatng European civilization, until imi- tation has grown to be a habit with us: but our world of thought and sci ence is not now so poor that we have nothing to admire and emulate at home"

COMMERCE DEPARTMENT IS PLAN
 OF CIVIC CHAMBER

The Chamber of Commerce directors will consider at an early meeting, the proposal to establish a department of foreign commerce. The creation of such a department would cost from $35OO to S400O annually, according to information given out at the chamber yesterday.
 It will be recalled that Secretary of Commerce Redfield, while in Birming- ham recently, stressed the importance of going after trade with foreign countries and outlined plans for securing this busi- Eess. It was at the request of prominent Birmingham men that he had prepared the information which was sent to the Chamber of Commerce, by E. A. Brand, chief of the government bureau
 The plan suggested by MT. Brand calls for the establishment of this department to work in conjunction with the govern ment bureau. The chamber would have to pay the salary of the trade expert which 1t is estimated would be from $500 to $250O each year, and the other Expenses in connection with the work. The out line submitted by the government depart ment was received yesterday by General Manager w. c. Radcliffe, and it will be considered upon the return of President Bush next week.
 Birmingham manufacturers and indus trial leaders have become keenly alive to the importance of trade extension, and it is considered probable that some plan may be devised by which Birmingham can secure the advantages of a foreign trade department which will work in con nection with the government bureau which already has agents in many foreign countries
