INCREASE ANTI.sUe MEASURES
Success Against Submarines Not to
Lessen American Efforts.

Washington, Nov 20-The hopeful
outlook for effectively curbing the SUBJ
marine menace. indicated in the speech
of the British premier yesterday. will
increase rather than lessen the meas
ureS taken by this country In pre-
pairing anti-submarine machinery, Sec
rotary Daniels indicated today.
The incident used by Lloyd George to
lend force 20 his statement that he no
longer feared the submarine menace
the fact that five submarines had been
sunk In one day-probably represents
ne best one days achievement OF the
forces. Mr.. Daniels
said it was the highest figure he had
heard in that regard. The policy Of
silence on the submarines destroyed
has n definite place in this program,
seemingly achieving measure of suc-
cess, and for this reason the navy de-
partment will keep strict silence as to
what is accomplished by American Of
hcers until the officials think the time
has come to reveal the details of the
campaign.

ALIMoNY ESCAPES INCOME TAI
Supreme Court Holds Divorce Need
Not Pay Nation. y.


Washington, Nov, 2O.-Alimony is
not taxable. The supreme court Of the
United States made this decision.
The decree was made in a case
brought on behalf Of Mrs. Katherine
G. Gould, and releases her from taxa
ton on the income Of $4,000 monthly
paid to her as alimony by her former
husband, Howard Gould, during the
years 1913 and 1914.
Justice McReynolds read the opin-
ion which held that the law did not
include alimony as a subject Of taxa
ton.
"A decree Of the supreme court for
New York county, entered in 1909, for
ever separated the parties to this pro-
ceeding, then and now citizens Of the
United States, from bed and board"
Justice McReynolds said, land further
ordered that the plaintiff in error,
CHoward Gould) pay to Katherine C.
Gould during her life the sum of $4,000
every month for her support and main
tenance. The question presented Is
whether such monthly payments during
the years 1913 and 1914 constituted
parts Of Mrs, Gould's income within
the intendment Of the act Of congress
approved Oct. 3, 1913, and were sub
ject as such to the tax prescribed
therein The court below answered in
the negative, and we think it reached
the proper conclusion"

forwarded BY the Central News reports
a great movement Of troops with ar

Serious rloting took place in Berlin
last Sunday according to dispatches
received by the Wireless Press and the
Exchange Telegraph Company from
Amsterdam. -
The message to the Exchange Tele-
graph Company says that the fighting
between the mob and the police was
very serious and that there was a
heavy casualty list as the police used
their fire arms.
The Wireless Press says the military
was called upon to oppose the progress
of the Independent socialist demon
strators. In the riotious scenes which
followed the military police were forced
to fire with rifles and reVolvers and
the organizers Of the meeting returned
the fire.
The German press, the dispatch adds,
has been forbidden to publish details
Of the affair.
