CHARITY Is EXCEPTED
WAR-TAx EXEMPTIONS AS TO
RELIGION AND cHARlTY-EN-
TREATMENTS FOR CHARITY
ARE NOT SUBJECT TO WAR-TAx.

1t does not seem to be generally
known that exemptions from war
taxes in favor Of religious, charitable
and kindred institutions are provided
for in the War Revenue Act. In COM
putting the net revenue that is subject
to the new income taxes deductions
from the gross revenue are allowed of
contributions or gifts actually made
within the year to corporations or as
sociations organized and operated ex-
clusively for religious, charitable,
scientific or educational purposes, or to
societies for the prevention of cruelty
to children or animals, no part of the
net income of which inures to the
benefit of any private stakeholder or
individual, to an amount not in excess
of Is per centum of the taxpayer S
taxable net income as computed with
out the benefit of this paragraph.
Such contributions or gifts shall be
allowable as deductions only if veri-
fed under rules and regulations pre-
scribed by the Commissioner of In.
ternal Revenue, with the approval OF
the Secretary of the Treasury" Those
who have been accustomed to support
generously religious and beneficent
enterprises are thus encouraged by
the government to keep UP their good
work. Another exemption is made
in regard to admissions to theatrical
and other entertainments of which
the net proceeds are to be devoted
to similar purposes. AS some mis-
understanding existed on this point
the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue was questioned about it. and
he has written the following reply:
'sThe word proceeds as used in Sec
ton 700 means gross receipts, less
payments of proper expenses, or, in
other words, met proceeds If the
net proceeds 'inure exclusively to the
benefit Of religious, educational, OF
charitable institutions, societies, Of
organizations no tax is collectible
on the adW1ssions.'

War, will be the Shubert Stock Co.'S
bill the week of Sunday, November
IS. Virginia Esmond is the Southern
wife of a Northerner who enlists on
the Union side at the outbreak of the
war. There is a serious estrangement
due to this difference of sectional feel
ing, the. trouble being fomented by
Mclaughlin, a former sutton of Vir-
ginia's. When the Northern army
finally approaches Richmond, and Es-
mond realizes that Virginia is in i'm

time to save her both from the perils
of war, and from the Vaccinations of
Mclaughlin, which are all but success
full. There is final happy reunion.

confessed that as a people we have
not vet shown a Keen interest and
appreciation in this wealth of artistic
material. Exception must be made
| in certain isolated cases, like the
Diocese of st. Paul, where under
broad and intelligent leadership all
channels Of influence which strength
en- the Church are sought, be they of
patriotism, art or architecture. or of
leivic virtue. .@
Finally, it must gladden. the heart
Of every Catholic, anxious for the
prestige of the Church, to know that
art critics and students Of architec-
| ture admire his parish church or Ca
| thedral and that these are also priced
as distinct artistic assets by all the
Icitizens, regardless of faith or creed.
We are now in the midst of an arts
tic awakening, evidenced by the
| greater number of art and architec-
tural schools rising up throughout the
land. The Identification of our cit
les Is also growing apace, and alto
gether the prospects for rehabilita-
ton of the arts, will be bright with
promise of fulfillment as we come to
realize more and more the signifi-
canoe and Importance of all forms Of
beauty in our daily life and especial
" in our churches.
You Catholics of st. Paul have done
your share in advancing the cause OF
religious and civic art in the erection
of a Cathedral that can be truthfully
said to be the finest example of its
particular style in the United States
Designed by master mind and locat
ed on one of the finest sites conceiv
able, in the annals of architecture it
will ever receive special place OF
honor and glory. 1t shall be my pleas
ant duty and ardent hope in the cree
tion of your new church on Summit
avenue to continue this excellent
movement for good architecture in
this beautiful city dedicated to the
great Apostle st. Paul.

A remarkable incident of the war
has been related by a chaplain, to
the Bishop of Arras in a letter from
the front Two soldiers of LEVIN, on
leave, an infantryman and an engi-
|neer, decided to visit their native
place to try and find their homes and
their little fortune hidden before their
departure. One searched in vain
among the ruins, the other found un-
happily the debris of his home, but
his money intact.
Before leaving they decided to visit
the parish church, also a ruin. When
they reached it, however, they found
amongst the desolation the beautiful
cross intact, leaning against frag-
ment of wall. The sergeant of infan-
try saw it, before a group of Canadian
soldiers who applauded.
Then he seized the heavy crucifix
Of metal, placed it upon his shoulders
