WILL
 DEMAND BIG
 TN mNITY.
Tn Formal Note, Announced at Washington, Accounts Enormous Losses Caused by Austro Germans When Peace Comes Will Hold Out for Full Dam ages.

Washington. July 24-Serbia, in a formal note made public at the state department today. charges Austria and Bulgaria with an illegal economic exploitation of occupied provinces and gives notice that .she reserves the right of claiming. at the time of the peace negotiations, an indemnity cor responding to the damage inflicted, both on the Serbian state and its sub jects, by these fragrant violations of public international law"
 The note giving the first official glimpse behind the scenes in occupied Serbia claims that more than 100,- 900 crowns has been illegally extort- ed, as well as 6;000,00O crowns in the form of forced subscriptions to Aus trian war loans and the Austrian and Bulgarian Red Cross.
 The Serbian trade is said to have been ruined by the abolition of the Serbian motorium for the purpose of allowing enemy merchants to collect immediately, with per cent. interest, debts estimated at 120,000. 900 crowns. Failure to pay is said to be penaIized by sale of property at ridiculous aus tion figures, which allows the invad- CTS to make immensely profitable pur- chases of large stocks of goods. In addition. many sh ops have been pillag- ed and trade has fallen off at least one half.
 By such arbitrary measure toward our merchants and by means of this lega1ized pil1age. the military author ities have attempted to ruin our trade" the note says. Austrian and German firms will take the. places of the ruined Serbians and will so bring a Standardization of Serbian com merce."
 All private houses abandoned by their owners, including the royal palaces, are said to have been plund- cred under the theory that they were "unowned ' property because the owners were absent. The national and the ethnographical museums are reported to have been completely ransacked by the Austrians, the na.- tiona1 library, the university library of Nish, and the ibrarysof the School of Theology in Prizzen by the Bull garians. Books, manuscripts and art works were said to have been carried | away as booty.
 "The Bulgarians," it is said, "have PiuHuclcu eo 1h EAtoHI dnu WieH e1- l frontery unexampled in modern war | fare.
 Austria also has placed the assess ment of all taxation in the hands of 8 military committee. In the provinces occupied by Bulgaria the whole Ser bian taxation system has been swept l away.
 Similarly the Austrian authoritie, have ordained that Serbian money shall be accepted at 50 per cent. ol l it's normal value Serbian money wa.
 taken by force from private persons land Austrian money was given in ex. l change at rate less than half its 1 value. The Austrians collected oul
 bank notes at a very low price witt
 the intention of changing therr l abroad at a higher rate.'

M ADOO WANTS s5,OOO, ,0OO,OOll 5 MORE FOR WAR
 
War Tax Bill Held Up In Senate By New
 Situation.

,. Washington, July 2A-secretary McAdoo prepared today new war es- inmates for Congress, very much in excess of those already presented. and which will necessitate raising revenue not contemplated when the Senate finance committee revised tbe war tax bill. The bill probably will be further revised.
 The government, passing an esti- mate on the needs of the army and navy, wants the war tax bill to au- thorize an additional s5.o00, 100000.
 Secretary. McAdoo will appear bss- fore the finance committee late today to explain the treasury's needs, based on the requirements of the army and navy Whether the $5,0O0. 1000. 900 would be raised by a bond issue had not been determined.
 While no official intimations of the course of the new revenue was given before Secretary McAdoo went before the finance committee, there were ilt. dications that it would be drawn principally from excess profits and es. tate taxes, probably some increases in income taxes and minor increasaa in miscellaneous taxes. Official figgs
 
 profits in the United States are now at the rate of $5,O0O, ,0O0,000 a year.
 Secretary McAdoo asked Chairman Simmons of the finance committee to withhold reporting the bill to the Senate as had been planned for to. day, until he could confer with the Senators. The new situation threw all the plans for pushing the war ts1 bill awry. Senate managers had nd idea when the big measure for rais. ing the revenues for conducting ths war would move forward.
 Before Secretary McAdoo appeared before the finance committee it wal understood that the s5,000, 900, 00tS represented the estimates of the wal and navy departments and that h. would propose an additional billiol dollars to be raised by taxation ani seek authority for an additional cred it of $2,500,000.000. Whether thi latter sum was to be in bonds or cer tificates of indebtedness was not dis closed
