AUSTRALIA TO RESTRICT AFTER
AFTER WAR TRADE WITH ENEMY

ADELAIDE, Australia, May 22-Aus-
tralian commercial houses and business
men have declared themselves through
their chambers of commerce, to be in
accord with those of other parts of the
British empire in planning to prohibit
or restrict trade with enemy countries
for term of years after the war. They
also approve the plans adopted in Lon
don and Paris conferences on after
war business conditions to give perma-
rent preference to trading between the
different parts of the empire and with
allied countries, as against enemy
countries Favorable treatment to
this respect also is approved.
Proposals along those lines were
recommended by the London Chamber
of Commerce and have been adopted by
the Associated Chambers of Commerce
OF Australia.
1t is intended to accomplish most
: OF these results affecting business after
the war by revision of the tariff and
| OF the shipping and naturalization
/ laws: Among the after-war steps APP
proved by the Australian chambers of
commerce were:
Restriction of enemy traders within
| the empire.
Penalization OF enemy shipping.
Retention of all German ships now
i in possession of the Entente Allies.
Replacement by the Teutonic allies
of all ships sunk by them.
Encouragement within the empire of
industries necessary to the public
safety.
Prevention of the control of enemy
countries of raw materials and re-
sources OF the British empire
State cooperation in promoting
trade banks to aid in exporting prod
ucts of the empire
A committee of the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce was directed to for
mulate further economic methods to
recuperate the wealth of the British
empire depleted by the war

THE NEW INCOME TAX LAW

One of the features of the new in
come tax law which will become eff
fective at once, the first returns to be
made early next year, and which will
have Individual interest for millions OF
Americans, viii be that of the tax on
small incomes.
The new bill provides that all who
are recipients of incomes in excess of
81 900 per year in the case of unmar-
ried people. and $4,000 in the case of
married people, shall pay a minimum
of per cent to the government, and
surtax will be added on graduated
scale, computed on the amount of the
income.
The general public who have not
heretofore been subject to the income
tax are, of course, more or less I'M
familiar with the provisions of the
federal statute relating to incomes.
Many are under the impression that
the income means that sum in excess
of necessary living expenses, but this
! is not the case.
The government allows an exemption
only of certain specific items in the
way of necessary expenses actually
paid in carrying any individual bust
ness and under this heading must
not be included living or family ex-
penses or amounts paid for permanent
improvements on property.

NEW RAILROAD TO BE OPENED

MEXICO CITY, May 22.-The new
railroad between Durango and Canitas

This road will cut off a long distance

JAPAN'S NEW ACTIVITY.

After more than two years, during
which period the military forces OF ia
nan rested on their arms, following
their capture of two or three German
strongholds on the Chinese coast, the
Yankees of the Orient" have evinced
an active interest in the prosecution of
the great war and have dispatched
certain naval units to assist in wiping
out the submarine menace.
The declaration Of war against Ger
many by the japanese government
came as a matter of course, her treaty
with Great Britain practically compell-
ing her to take up arms against the
Kaiser when the Britons lined up with
France, Russia and Belgium to bar the
destructive progress of the Teuton
hordes.
A brief period of activity followed
Japan's entrance into the world war,
but once the German influence in
China had been overthrown and the
outposts of the Kaiser in the
Far East brought under the flag of the
rising sun, Japan apparently lost in
terest in the struggle.
The eviction of Germany from her
oUtposts in China was of vital import
lnce to Japan, whose ambition to con-
.rol the destinies of the "Flowery
Kingdom" has more than once threat
9ned to precipitate hostilities among
he nations of the world. 1t was de-
cidedly to Japan's interest to GUST the
Kaiser from Chinese soil and Japan ac-
this task with great effic-
5ncy, but no further cooperation with
he Allies has been evidenced until the
recent arrival of Japanese warships in
he North Sea and in the Mediterran-
can, to aid in the anti-submarine pa
roll
Whether diplomatic pressure has been
brought to bear on Japan, or whether
she fears that unless she displays a
greater willingness to cooperate with
he Allies, her part in forming the
.erms of peace will be insignificant,
may develop as the secrets of diplo-
matte exchange are gradually exposed.
The more active participation by
Japan in the war unquestionably has
endency to lessen the almost justifable
suspicion on the part of the United
States that the legions of little brown
warriors were held in leash temper
arily, to be hurled at our shores at an
moment.

NATION SHOULD TAKE
DECLARES
by DR.. HARVEY w. WILEY
lin an Interview with Mary Boyle
O'ReiIIy.)
Whether we remain at peace or adj
venture on war, the government
should take full possession Of our
food supplies.
Every family in the country must
be able to buy staple foods at fixed
prices.
Already One-tenth. of the people Of
the United States are starving. Such
starvation is largely due to stupidity.
Even today 81 spent On.Indian corn
will keep a working man well nOUr-
ished for one month. Five dollars
viii supply four weeks satisfying
food for an average family.
Plain living? OF cOurset But you
may take it from me, the war has
killed luxury for this generation.
Humanity is entering upon such a
period of enforced economy as the
world has never seen. Europe feels
this today We may realize it to-
morrow.
Enforced thrift is a blessing in dis
guise. Our grandparents were
stronger, more dependable, finer men
and women because they had moth
ing to waste.
When 81 can purchase only so
cents worth of food the man who
earns and the woman who spends
must learn what foods furnish most
nOurishment before they buy. The
answer is indisputable. Cereals
bought in bulk supply the greatest
amount of chew" heat and energy
for the least money. And of all &C.
reals, Indian corn is the cheapest. I
have proved it by long practice.

It's Hairless Body Was Of . Strange and
Ghouiish Blue.

of jet black hair some eight or ten
inches In length. Each hair was about
the bigness OF large angleworm, and
as the thing moved the muscles of it's
scalp this awful head covering seemed
to writhe and wriggle and crawl about
the fearsome face as though indeed
each separate hair was endowed with
Independent life.
The body and the legs were as sym
metrica1ly human as nature could have
fashioned them, and the feet, too, were
human in shape, but OF INDUSTRIOUS pro-
portions. From heel to toe they were
fully three feet long and very fat and
very broad.
AS 1t came quite close to me 1 dis
covered that its strange movements,
running it's odd hands over the surface
OF the turf, were the result Of its pc
culiar method Of feeding, which con
sists in cropping of the tender vegeta-
ton with it's razor like talons and suck
ing it up from its two mouths, which
lie one in the palm Of each hand
through its armlike throats.
In addition to the features which !
have already described, the beast was
equipped with massive tail about six
feet in length, quite round where ii
joined the body. but tapering to fat
thin blade toward the end, which trail
ed at right angles to the ground.
