DELAWARE COUNTY LOYALTY

Governor Harding says that the boys
from Iowa who have been sent back
from the front to arouse us to an ap-
probation of our duty tell him that
the thing that they appreciate most
is having the clean home knit socks
which are sent up every morning by
the American Red Cross. Much OF
the time the boys are standing in the
trenches in mud over their shoes, with
feet wet all the time and If it were
not for the home knit socks their feet
would become so diseased that they
could not hold their positions. Don't
stop the knitting.

FISHING SCHOONER SUNK

KENNEBUNK PORT, Me, July 23- Four men landed in a dOry at Cape Porpoise today reporting that their fishing schooner, the Robert and Rich ard of Gloucester, bod been sunk by a German submarine on Cashebank, six ty miles southeast of Cape Porpoise. at 10:S0 o'clock yesterday morning. Other dories were coming in behind them, they said. The schooner had just stocked up with halibut for the Boston market
 The men stated that the schooner had been destroyed by a bomb. The submarine, they stated, came out of the water a few hundred yards distant and sent shell screaming over their bow. The crew promptly swung the schooner up into the wind and took to their boats. Then the raider sent a boat aboard the schooner, apparently took only her papers, placed a bomb and left her. A few minutes later an explosion sent the trim little knock about to the bottom. No other ships were in sight at the time The subma- rine was last seen going south on the surface"
 hC SShOOhNi heiu JuSt SNOCh6u 1uVs- 900 pounds of fish. All her dories had been recalled and she was sealed for Boston when the submarine intercept ed her just as she left Cassebank.
 When Capt. Robert Wharton of the schooner saw the submarine send out boat to his vessel he put back and according to the men in the first dory to arrive, he said that the Germans apparently were content to take 0nly the ships papers.
 Motor boats went out to search for the other dories. The first dorymen to arrive had rowed sixty miles and were thoroughly exhausted. They were James K. Mckenzie. Fred Martell ant Nicholas Fernald.

 T opened my eyes at this statement and asked him if he lived in Maine. He had lived in America a long time, he told me and had had a summer home in Maine since 1896. He was a big chap. He and the sailors wore working clothes and were a rather rough looking lot. The captain was the only one in uniform. did not see any others of the crew.
 We were told to get back into our boats and the Germans were the last to leave the ship, taking a spare dory. We had pulled a mile away and the submarine was a safe distance away when the bomb went off and that was the last saw of my ship. We had to row 100 miles before we were picked up by the steamer"

INCOME TAX IS
 NOW AGREED ON
CBy Review Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, July 23-An IS per cent normal tax on the net income of corporations with provision, however, that only F per cent shall be levied on the income distributed to share holders, was tentatively agreed upon today by the house ways and means committee. Members of the commit tee believe that the lower rate on earnings distributed will have a ten dency to break up large corporate sur plus and force the money out where it can be reached by the surtax on in- diyidusl incomes. The present normal income tax on corporations is 6 per cent.
 Chairman Kitchen of the commit tee, after today's session made this statement:
 The committee had under discus sion today the income tax on corpora tions. discussing practically all day the rates.
 ''The following rates were suggested and discussed:
 Twenty per cent on the net in- come of corporations, with a provis- ion that on the amount distributed to shareholders, only 10 per cent should be levied
 "2-Eighteen per cent on the net in- come of corporations, with proviso that on the amount distributed to share holders only F per cent should be. lev jed.
 The following rates are also sugges- ted.
 "A flat rate of 15 per cent on the net income; and
 "A Hat rate of F per cent on the net income.
 While no definite decision was reached, it seemed that a majority of the committee favored the proposi- tion of the Is per cent rate on net in. come with the reduction to F per cent on the amount distributed to the share holders"
 The proposed result of the normal income tax on corporations is in line with treasury department views and $ new plan in federal taxation.
 The proposal resulted from testi- mony at committee hearings that many corporations keep a certain propOr. tion of their annual profit in the bu5i ness instead of distributing the entire profits to stockholders who would have to pay surtax on it.

WILL TRY
 NEW RESOLUTION
CRy Revlew Leased Wirel

LONDON, July 23.-John Dillon, Irish nationalist leader, gave notice in the house of commons he would ask the government tomorrow for a day for the discussion of the following mo- ton:
 The policy pursued toward Ireland by the government is inconsistent with the great principles for the vindica- ton of which the allied powers are carrying on the war This policy has greatly alienated and exasperated the Irish people and. if perservered in. will further alienate and exasperate them and will steadily increase the dificul- ty of reaching a settlement of the Irish question on the basis of friendship De- tween the British and the Irish na- tion.
 That this house entirely indorses the principles laid down by President Wilson in his great speech at the grave of George Washington. when, Speakige of the objects ,lor which America and her allies are fighting, he said:
 These great objects can be put into a single sentence. What We seek is the reign of law, based upon the con sent of the governed and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind. These great ends cannot be achieved by debating and seeking to reconcile and accommodate what statesmen may wish, with their projects for balances of power and of national opportunity.
 And that this house is of the opinion that the true solution of the Irish question is to put into operation with out delay with regard to Ireland the principles laidd own by President Wn- sen in his historic utterance.
