PROPOSED LAW TO
 ENFORCE TAXES

To fOreStall attempts to evade the payment of personal taxes by emi grafton after the war the enactment of law requiring persons liable to such taxes to leave 20 per cent. of their taxable property as security in the sevent of emigration from Germany has been proposed.
 Terms of Bill Drafted
 The bill as drafted, says the Board of Trade Journal. in quoting the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. provides that persons who have hth- erto had their permanent residence in Germany shall be liable to the payment of personal taxes, and also (so far as the Federal States do not order otherwise) to the payment of State and communal taxes, for a period of five years after the con clusion of peace. Exempt from this liability are CD persons whose tax able property does not exceed 30,- 900 marks ($7,140 at normal ex change), (2) Germans normally resi- uent dDTOdu WHO nave Deen lnVOlun tarily detained in Germany owing to the war. (3) persons who do not take up their permanent residence in Germany until after the war, and | (4) persons who emigrate to Ger man protectorates. Other exemp tions may be granted on application in cases where German national in terests require such exemption.
 Offenders To Lose Nationality
 Offenders against the law. togeth- CT with their wives and children, are to be deprived of their nationality, which is, however, recoverable by subsequent voluntary payment of the taxes due. (-Commerce Reports.)

 The determination of the United States Fuel Administration to con serve labor and transportation ia cilities by allowing only clean coa to be hauled away from the mines is bearing fruit. Inspection of thu output of each mine visited is riGif and thorough. The work is being done by special inspectors appointed by the Fuel Administration in eacl mining district.

No less thar 568 mines have had to be censuref and warned to improve their meth ods, and six mines have been shut down for disregard of the regula tions. Three mines were partially shut down for the same cause. Ii is reported that there are five mine: that needed reinspection and fivf mines where preparation has i'm proved after inspection

PERSHINC PRAISES
 COLORED TROOPS

The Secretary of War authorizes the publication of the following ca blegram from Gen. Pershing:
 "In reference to your cablegram of inquiry:
 "The stories, probably invented by German agents, that colored soldiers in France are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers, that when wounded they are left on the ground to die without medical attention, etc. are absolutely false.
 Casualty Lists Show Facts "The following are the losses as reported up to June IS in the four colored combat regiments now in France: 369th Infantry: Died of wounds, 3; died of disease, 8; SC. verely wounded. ?. 370th Infantry: Died of wounds, none; died of dis ease, 3; wounded severely, none 371st Infantry: Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 8; severely wounded none. 372nd Infantry: Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. These if gures show conclusively that Negro troops have not thus far occupied positions as dangerous as those oc- aupied by white troops, and that their physical condition is excellent.
 High Degree of Efficiency
 "A tour of inspection just com pleted among American negro troops by officers of the training section of these headquarters shows com. paratively high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. Their training is identical. with that of other American troops serving with the French Army, the effort being to lead all American troops gradually to heavy combat duty by preliminary service in trenches in quiet sectors. Colored troops in the trenches have been particularly for, tunate, as one regiment has been there a month before any losses were suffered.
