ton Camps.

Geneva.-The Associated Press is
informed that the Geneva Red Cross
has received thus far the name of 81
American prisoners in Germany The
list has been forwarded to Washing
ton. The majority of the American
prisoners are sailors from captured
ships, who were taken before the
declaration of state of war between
the United States and Germany and
therefore, it is claimed, should, ac-
cording to international law, be re-
leased. Nevertheless Germany is re-
tanning them as hostages
The American prisoners are in
termed in tow camps and are treated
under the same severe regime as are
British prisoners. The British pris-
oners receive parcels of food from
home, but the Americans are suffer
ing from hunger and from lack of
necessities. 1t is elaine they are
treated badly

THE FLOOD OF GOLD
INTO TREASURY GROWS
Amount Has Eclipsed All Previous
Records-lncome Tax is
Chief Source.

Washington.-The amount of gold
flowing into the treasury these days
from ordinary sources of taxation
has sclipsed all previous records. For
the first "a days of May it aggregated
1859 057 ,267, bringing the total for the
fiscal year up $794,567 1897. or ap-
proximately s200.000.000 more than a
year ago which then stood as a new
high record
Internal Revenue Taxes Gain.
The chief source Of revenue thus
far in May has been the income tax,
which has yielded $SS,714,922, against
$3,835,S34 for the corresponding
period last year. The tremendous in
crease is attributed to the patriotism
of the taxpayers, who, believing the
government needs the money, are
making their payments a month
earlier this year than formerly. Of
ficials estimate that the income tax
will yield approximately 1886. 900 900
this year, which is more than $50,000,-
900 i'm excess of the sum estimated
last fall when the amendment in
creasing the tax was enacted.
Next in size are payments of in
ternal revenue on whisky, beer,
cigars and cigarettes. Those pay
ments. totaling $3S.597. 474 for May,
are so per cent higher than for the
same period last year. The increase
in these taxes is attributed to what
some officials term a lack of patri-
tism, or the desire of owners of the
commodities to get them out of bond
ed warehouses before the taxes are
doubled under the war revenue bill
now pending in congress.
Customs Receipts Increase.
Customs receipts, s22,61S,219. show
an increase of approximately $780,
900, and miscellaneous taxes, includ-
ing the thousand and one smaller
sources of revenue, jumped more
than 100 per cent, to S9.126.652 Vir-
tually the only tax which did not ex-
coed expectations was the tax on mu-
nitions, and this has fallen somewhat
under the sum estimated as it's yield.
Total receipts for the month are APP
proximately three and one-half times
as much as they were a year ago.

Raid; Three Brought Down.

A Town on the Southeast Coast of

in a long line in the busiest street
here waiting to purchase potatoes
were the principal victims of the
German airplane raid May %. In
tent only on not losing their places
in the line, the women and children
had little warning of the raid and
were easy victims of the air vul-
lures who dropped their deadly
bombs Unfortunately.
76 Killed; 175 Injured.
The raid, which claimed the lives
of 76 persons and caused injury to
IT'S others, proved more deadly than
any raid that the Zeppelins have
made on England since the war
began.
Flying so high that they looked
like a flock of ducks, the raiders
rained dozens of bombs on the bust
est block of the main thoroughfare
which was choked with shoppers of
every age and sex.
Many Killed in Narrow Passage.
Many persons lost their lives on a
narrow stair-like passageway between
two houses on the street where a
bomb burst overhead, the conclusion
killing them. All of the victims in
this part of the town were struck
down within a radius of 200 yards.
One of the most striking results
was the small property damage here
compared with the heavy loss of life.
This is thought to have been due to
the fact that the bombs happened to

potato sale were gathered.
In the residential sections of the
town fashionable homes were demol-

were found in the ruins. The raiders
made a Decline over the town, first
bombing the residential section and
then pelting the shopping district as
they flew out to sea.
Death Disaster in Three Minutes.
The casualty list for this town
alone is placed at 90 deed and $50 in
jured. Large gangs of workmen
worked on the huge piles of debris in
the residential section, where several
persons are missing.
The raiders spent less than three
minutes over this town. They came
from places further inland, which
they bombed freely. The loss of life
and property damage in those places,
however, is reported to have been
comparatively slight. At one place a
baseball game was in progress when
a bomb fell in the outfield. F'rag-
ments of the bursting shell wounded
the right and centerfielders so Sc
verey that they had to be taken to a
hospital.
