AVOIDING AD VALOREM TAX.
Importers Hasten to Withdraw
Goods From Bonded Warehouses;

Withdrawal of imported goods from
bonded warehouses, so as to avoid pay
ment of the 10 per cent ad vaIorem
tariff provided for in the pending war
tax bill. has reached proportions never
approached before in the nations his
tory.
Figures reported to the Treasury De-
partment show that in New York alone
goods valued at nearly $3.0OO,OOO were
withdrawn in a single day and that
the Withdrawals are continuing at a
rate of from $1,J0O,000 to $4,000 1000
there daily. In other ports of entry
similar conditions exist. and the pace
in most places is growing steadily.
Millions of dollars in revenue that
would be collectible. if the goods re-
manned in bond until the tax bill be-
comes law, thus is being lost to the
government.
Such a movement always ensues from
a congressional threat to impose new
tariff rates, though Treasury officials
say nothing of these proportions ever
was experienced before.
Before the war tax bill was drafted
by the ways and means committee the
new tariff commission submitted to
Congress a recommendation that pro-
vision be made to prevent this loss of
revenue. Details Of the commissions
plan never have been revealed, how
ever. and the measure carries no pro-
vision that will enable the government
to collect on the goods being with
drawn.

pers of Saturday:

with troops. was torpedoed by an enemy
submarine in the eastern Mediterranean
April Ia One hundred and forty men
are missing and are presumed to have
been drowned"
The survivors of the Cameronia say
the vessel was torpedoed in fine, calm
weather in the afternoon The subma-
rine was not seen.
A large number of the casualties were
due to the explosion of the torpedo
which struck where there happened to
be many soldiers. There was some ex-
citement and confusion at the outset
after the torpedo had struck. but dis
cipline soon prevailed. The boats were
smartly launched, but one of them was
smashed, and many lives were lost.
Leap to Destroyers.
The Cameronia was af1oat for forty
minutes after she was torpedoed, which
enabled torpedo boat destroyers to run
alongside the doomed vessel Soldiers
from the Cameronia jumped on these
boats in disciplined succession. The
destroyers ceased taking on men as
soon as they had obtained their full
complement. Many men from the
Cameronia who jumped into the water
were picked up by the boats.
Several tales are told of gallant res

trying to save a drowning soldier. Nc

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
HAFRE, May 4.-The work of the
Belgian Flying Corps has been far more
important than could be supposed from
the limited publicity that has been
given to it. Its work all through the
war has gone far beyond its co-opera-
ton with the other Belgian military
forces.
Even before the consolidation of the
fronts of the different allied armies was
effected. and before the Belgian troops
took their place on the left wing of the
allies front. the cooperation of the
Belgian aviators with the French and
British Corps was intimate.
Belgian aviators participated in the
defense OF Liege, Namur, Antwerp, the
User and Ypres. They effected recon-
noitering flights of 200 miles to watch
the advance of German troops toward
the Marne. Belgian aviators announced
to the allied STATS the intervention of
deep masses of fresh German forces
advancing toward the User and on the
road to Calais. All through the long
siege operations along the User front
Belgian aviators were the watchful
eyes of the artillery. enabling effective
replies to heavy German bomba rdments
in spite of the highly perfected means
possessed by the Germans for fighting
aircraft.

One German machine landed, when

instant later, to darken again after
each landing. The three German ma

their turn Jenatzy and Rolin. cutting off
the gasoline supply from their motor,
decided to take the big risk. Lieut..
Rolin repeated with an electric lamp
the signals that he had just seen the
Germans give. The searchlights below
responded.
