Bankers Giving Aid.

Bankers very generally are calling at
tention to the early date upon which
income taxes must be returned, April

sistance to the public in preparing the
schedules.
1t is probably fact that the great
majority Of returns are in the hands of
collectors at this time. about the only
hold-offs being corporations and indi-
viduals with large incomes who are
awaiting some special ruling from the
Treasury Department., and who do not
need advice.
1t is within the probabilities that
many real estate agents, because of the
recent ruling requiring them to report
payments to owners of property, will
have to file revised schedules. The ex-

parties.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-As the first
phase of big drive to check up ex-
cess profits and income tax returns of
big business interests, twenty-five
trained accountants were dispatched
to-day by Internal Revenue Commits
sloner Roper to examine accounts of
coal operators in West Virginia, Ohio
and Pennsylvania, to ascertain whether
any changes should be made.
The operations of these examiners
will be extended within the next three
or four months to other coal fields
and virtually all leading operators will
be subjected to examination concern
ing the accuracy of their reports. This
action is not to be taken as implica-
ton of fraud, it was explained, but as
precautlon against errors which might
deprive the government of revenue.
Similar examinations soon will he

New Jersey Acts
To Bar German
In Public Schools
State Board of Education
Recommends Local Bodies
Exclude Language

TRENTON, N. j., June 1.-The State
Board of Education to-day settled the
German question so far as it relates to
the teaching of that language in the
schools of New Jersey. The board did
not place an absolute prohibition on
the teaching of German, but it did pass
a resolution under the terms of which
it will be possible for every local board
to prohibit the study of the language
The resolution adapted by the state
board unanimously is as follows:
THE State Board of Education recon-
mends to the boards of education through
out the state that they rigidly exclude from
the schools under their administration any
teaching of any kind, any textbook
magazines, language that in any way.
establish German propaganda or exalt
German Kaiserism Kultur. existing
German aims or ideals"
The passage of the resolution was
the result of a discussion that has
lasted through several meetings Of the
board. The resolution was presented
by DR.. John c. Vandyke, Of Rutgers
College, and it was accepted as salts
factory by Colonel D. Stewart Craven,
Of Salem, who has insisted for some
time that the study of German be alb
solutely prohibited.
DR.. Vandyke has heretofore been OPP
posed to the prohibition of German on
the theory that the question involved
was one of education rather than one
of patriotism, and he held that it would
be unwise for America to prohibit the
study of the only language by which
they would have knowledge of what
their enemies were doing. The ques-
ton, however, became so acute that the
state board was virtually forced into
the action taken to-day.
Following the passage of the resolu-
ton Colonel Craven made a formal
apology to John P Murray, of Jersey
City, for calling him an obstructionist
at the last meeting of the board.

War Brings Relief to
Columbia Freshmen

The war has offered to the first-year
man at Columbia relief from the
bothersome freshman rules of the past
Every student in the college will wear
a regulation uniform next year, under
the system of compulsory military
training which has been established,
and since freshmen look no different
than sophomores or seniors when
CARRIED in khaki, the problem of being
able to recognize yearling in order
to show him his proper" place is dis
turbing the minds of the sophomores.
The student board at meeting yes
terday appointed committee on rules
whose duty it will be to decide just how
newcomers next fall are to be branded,
if at all. The sacred freshman rules
are imposed by the student organiza-
ton and enforced by the sophomores.
A number of suggestions have been
made, one of them being that all first
year men wear large brass name plate
on their breasts. Another suggestion
calls for distinguishing hatband. 1t
is possible, however, that the rules will
be set aside altogether.

New Job-or-Jail
Law Chiefly for
downright Lazy
Compulsory Work Measure
Expected to Put 'tBack-
bone" in Men of Ability

Not all the "sons of rest" woh will
be forced to go to work by uly /, are
undesirable citizens. Many of them
are possessed of qualities of manhood
and might be made a credit to any
we'll ordered industrial establishment.
The only thing that has kept them
from work in the past is that they are
little bit lazy or they have not made
connections with the right sort of a
job.
This is the opinion expressed by
Commissioner Henry D. Sayer, of the
State Industrial Commission, under
whose general supervision the enforce
ment of the compulsory work law falls.
Commissioner Sayer issued state
ment yesterday to assure employers
they will not be drawing on an unde-
sirable class.of persons if they put on
their payroll a conscripted industrial
soldier.
Law Is Misunderstood
"There seems to be considerable mis-
apprehension as to the scope of the So
called anti-loafing law and it's pur-
poses" Commissioner Sayer stated. "a
vast deal of emphasis, it seems to me
has been placed upon the prosecution
under thelaw of lounge lizards, white
slavers, race track touts and other un-
desirable citizens.
"There always has been sufficient
authority in law to rid the city OF
these pests, for any person who has
no visible means Of support is a va
grant and may be arrested and sum-
marily dealt with by city magistrate
"The purpose of this new law is to
increase the productive labor of the
state as a war measure. Too much en-
phasis cannot be laid upon this fact.
Fears Public Antipathy
"My personal fear in the matter is
that the emphasis being laid upon the
point Of social regeneration will defeat
the very purpose of the law, for feel
very sure employers of labor will be
most unwilling to place orders with
the Bureau of Employment for appli-
cants under this law if they feel the
only persons to be procured are the
undesirables of the classes mentioned.
"There is large class Of persons
out Of employment whose only vice is
laziness or an unwillingness to seek
jobs. These persons are not moral de-
generates, dope fiends or crooks. I'm

sons may be placed at useful employ
ment where they can contribute their
share to the productive labor Of the
state.
Seek Jobs for Best
"The purpose of the law will be de-
feated if these persons are not sought
out and made to work, and if the only
efforts that are made relate to clean
ing up the muck that necessarily
abounds in any large and populous
centre.
"The efforts of the Industrial Com
mission will be to get jobs for able
bodied persons who are capable of
work. Employers may be assured that
if they place their orders for help with
the Bureau of Employment they, will
be provided only with employable and
capable workers."
Commissioner Sayer invites coopera-
ton of employers and those willing
to work, and urges that both classes
write to the Employment Bureau of
the State Industrial Commission, 230
Fifth Avenue.

PREPARE ARMOR
FOR OUR TROOPS
Famous Experts at Work at
Metropolitan Museum Re-
viving Ancient Ideas

Washington, Aug. 8. - Official an
nouncement was made by the War
Department last night that armor for
use by American soldiers in France
was being modelled by experts in the
armorers' workshop of the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art in New York City.
The armor being modelled there in
ciudes helmets, shields, and breast
plates. The work is being done for
the ordnance Department, which has
heen seeking to give the American
soldier the best armored protection in
the world.
The official announcement issued
by the War Department revealed this
interesting story of what is being
done:
Comprising all that was best in
the types of armor used in the days
of the ancients. this armor in some
instances, is being wrought into shape
on ancient anvils and by hammers
that were actually used centuries ago.
In direct charge of the workship
is a French artisan whose skill has
been known to collectors the world
over and whose forebears, for genera
tions back, have kept alive the dying
trade of the armorer.
This war in Europe, which has
| brought back into use many discarded
weapons and practices of medieval
warfare, has found use for armor as
