 In Rumania there is not any great changes made in the positions which were held when winter set in last year.
 Along the Bukowina and Galician border the changes are not exten- sive. Tarnopol is the one important position held by the Russians last winter which is now held by the Teutons. In Bukowina the posi- tions are practically the same. From the Galician border to the Pripet there is practically no change in position.

As had already been antici- pated in these columns, the ground would be shallow, and for this reason there isnot likely to be much done in the way of actual mining during the winter taking out money. It is likely that a con- siderable quantity of prospecting will be done, and this may result in further discoveries which may lead to big stampede in that dir ection next Spring.
 The former strike was made iii a locality by no means ideal and timber was quite scarce.

Tax Will Double
Former ReUenue

retained by the finance committee today but it added
new maximum war profit'tax rate of go per cent on
profits in excess of 300 per cent The maximum in the
bill was fifty per cent profits than $50 per
cent
Another change was made in the provision for ex-
emption. "A minimum of six per cent and maximum of
ten per cent provided on incomes capital actually
invested and approved These provisions would for
corporations suffering abnormal depression during the
pre-war Corporations making less than four per cent
during that period would be entitled to at least that
empton and if more than ten per cent they would re-
ceive not over ten per cent deduction,
By these changes the committee estimated that the
levy would take 81 of the three billion
dollars or four billion dollars profits estimated to
be earned thisye
