J. War taxes swelled internal revenue
receipts to $500, 1893, $40, an increase of
more than 296,OOO,OOO over totals of
1916, &C cOrding to the annual report Of
Daniel C. Roper, commissioner of in
ternal revenue.
Staggering as is this total, however,
| 1t is less than one-fourth the total Of
| estimated internal revenue for the cur
| rent fiscal year. It is estimated that
So, 400, 100000 will be raised in the year
ending June 80, 1913, $4,000, 100000 Of
which will come from excess profits
and income taxes.
Illinois led in the production Of dis
/ titled spirits with 79,32O,617 gallons.
Indiana was second with 43, 361 ,276
gallons, and Kentucky third, with &c.
441,778 gallons.
The First and Second New York dis
triets led In total collections, which in
cluded income-tax returns. The Fifth
, Illinois or Peoria district maintained
its lead in production of distilled spir-
its with 81, 23O,2 gallons, as COM
pared with 51,607,072 for the fiscal
year 1915. This was nearly three times
the production Of it's nearest cOmpeti-
tor, the Seventh Indiana district.
Some Sources Of Taxation.
The sources of internal taxation pro-
ducing the largest amounts of revenue
during the last fiscal year were: Dis
titled spirits and fermented liquors, ex-
elusive Of special taxes, $278,372, 100;

UNCLE SAM NEEDS FOxGL0VE

WATCH GERMAN TRADE PLANS
Uncle Sans Experts Are Scrutinizinp
Preparations Being Made to Re-
gain Business After War.

German preparations for trade after
the war are being scrutinized care
fully by experts in Uncle Sans bureau
Of foreign and domestic commerce.
Since the war eliminated Germany
from world trade, the United States
has improved its position in foreign
markets in spite Of the shipping short
age and other abnormal restrictive
factors. Department officials point out
that the future prosperity Of the coun-
try will depend in part on Germany's
loss Of goodwill in practically all for
eign markets and in part upon Ameri-
can ability to maintain our new pres
tige. American business is warned not
to make the mistake of seeing only
one side of this situation and thus
Understanding the German capacity
for foreign trade nor the energy, ap-
plication, and craft with which Ger
man business will address itself to
the task of regaining favor in markets
in which it once prospered.
In order to understand the signifi-
canoe of the information on German
trade moves that will from time; to
time be made public, Secretary Red
field counsels not imitation of, but
familiarity with the German theories
of foreign trade and the artful and
formidable organization that with gov
eminent aid at every turn, has been
built up in Germany during the last
twenty years to dominate the worlds
markets.

ENTER RADIO SERVICE
thousands of Amateur Operators
Now in Uncle Sans NAVY.
Expansion Of Personnel In TRAINING
Since Opening Of War Has Been
More Than 1000 Per Cent.

thousands of young Americans who
before the war had practiced amateur
wireless telegraphy with rudely con-
structed instruments are today enlist
ed in the United States naval commu-
nicatfon service, which is charged with
the duty Of providing means Of COM
munication between all forces under
the jurisdiction Of the navy depart
ment, and controls all radio stations as
well as the navy telegraph and tele-
phone lines.
Since April 80 all radio service in
this country has been controlled by the
director Of naval communications, at
tached to the chief OF naval opera
tons.
The war revealed what a large num-
Der or young men were interested in
radio experimentation and service. A
school for the development of men en-
listed in the radio. service was opened
at Harvard university, some 400 gradu-
at1ng each month for duty with the
fleets, on merchant ships, or at other
stations.
The radio service from It's inception
was constructed to meet military ends,
and it was prepared when war was de-
clared. Every United States ship is in
constant communication with the navy
department at Washington by means
OF efficient radio apparatus. The serv-
Ice in the fleet closely co-ordinates
with the service ashore. -.-.<.
In addition to the war business Of
the naval communication service, GER
tain' routine peace services are con-
tinued. These include the signals
which give to ship commanders twice
daily, at noon and at 10 p. M, exact
seventy-f1fth meridian time, storm sig
nails, and weather reports, and hydro
graphic bulletins.
On the Atlantic there are three high
powered stations capable Of transat-
lantic communication. The service is
mainly directed from the high-powered
station at Radio, Va, near Arlington,
and from the station at Key West.
The station at Sayville, Long island,
is an important high-power station.
There are four high-powered stations
on the Pacific. The station at the
Great Lakes Naval Training station
covers the great lakes service, while
the station at Darien gives service to
the Panama canal zone, ships in the
Caribbean, the Gulf Of Mexico, and
also Pacific waters.
There is no wireless communication
within the jurisdiction of the United
States government which is not now
directly serving the purposes Of war,
With the exception Of q minor radio
service maintained by the forest serv-
ice Of the department of agriculture.
The expansion of the personnel in
training in the radio service since the
opening of the war has been more than
1000 per cent.

Hun Invasion of

Fear Of German Dominance
May Impel Nippon Army

rBv q Jsp,ne.e Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2s.-Japan
is taking wide and active interest in
the question of sending her army to
Europe, according TO the Toxic cor
respondent Of japanese paper here.
Leading newspapers there are devoting
much space to the discussion of such
an undertaking. The consensus OF
opinion seems to be that the whole
scheme is utterly impracticable. The
lack Of transportation facilities is the
chief obstacle.
Press dispatches from abroad are
constantly reminding the Japanese
people, however. that the Allied gov
ernments are bringing strong pressure
upon the Toxic government for efec-
tive military help from Japan.
The Japanese people are keenly in
terested in the progress of the Ger
man army In Russia. If Germany

administration, organize its labor and
develop its natural resources, it would
have a decided effect upon the fate of
the war. according 10 their viewpoint.
They are also awake TO Just what it
would mean TO Japan If Germany were

cussed by the press and the people.
The discussions, however, have not pro-
ceeded beyond the academic stage
They have not assumed serious or con-
crete form.
Mr.. Miyake, the we'll known editor Of
the Nippon Moyobi Nippon-jin," dis
cusses the effect of the collapse Of the
military might of Russia upon the Far
Eastern political situation in slengthy
leading article in the October issue of
his magazine. he voices the popular
dread 81 Japan over German sue
cess in Russia.
Germany has the most intimate re
lations with Russia" says the article.
Whether Germany is 20 extend her
conquest over Russia much further
than she already has done or is TO end
the war in peace without further ag-
gression, we can easily imagine the
German ambition OF utilizing the ST.
berian line in the future. GERMANY

Will Force German Retire

Forest, Is Belief

Would Prevent Further
Allies Offensive in

LONDON, Oct, 2s.-Belgisn troops,
acting in conjunction with the French,
have captured the entire Mercken Pc
ninsuls, east of the flooded region
near Dixmude. Some 200 prisoners
were taken in the operation. which
was completed yesterday morning, &C
cording TO official reports from Paris
and the British War Oficc.
This success, which brings the En-
tente lines in Belgium we'll 10 the west
OF Houtholst Forest, and nearer Dix
nude on the south, has created such
a situation in this region that Ger
man retirement has become almost i'm
perative. Dispatches quoting Major
Moraht, the German military critic, as
forecasting a retreat from the Dix
nude sector TO Warneton undoubtedly
indicate the intention of the Germans
to give up the Houtholst Forest and
the remainder Of the Passchendaele
Ridge.
If such retiring movement comes
Immediately it probably will put the
German front directly in front of the
railroad system extending from Dix
nude eastward to Roulers and thence
southwark through Menin. To protect
their front TO the north OF DiXmude
and to the south OF Menin the Germans
would be compelled TO retain all three
of these places and the railways con-
Meeting them.
Instead Of being a disastrous move,
such a stroke would prove Of advantage
20 the Germans so far as present con
ditions are concerned. 1t would pre-
