$4,000 and $4,000 and an additional
per cent. for each additional $4,000 In
excess OF $1,000 income. This regular
system Is maintained up to and includ-
Ing incomes OF 100000. Above that
amount the new rates are:
For portions Of incomes between
100000 and $4,000, SO per cent.
Between $4,000 and $500, 900, Sc per
cent.
Between 5000. 900 and $500. 900, so per
cent.
Between $500, 900 and $500, 900. SO per
cent.
Between $500, 900 and 100000, 81
per cent.
In excess Of 100000. IS per cent

Germans Afraid
of Australians
Heroic Deeds OF Anzacs Have Spread
Terror tn Breasts of the
Hun.

London. Aug. 1s.--The Germans
have a wholesome dread of the Aus
traiians The reason for this may
be gathered from the descriptions of
the deeds for which four Australian
soldiers have been awarded Victoria
crosses.
One OF these men. Corporal Walter
Brown. rushed on his own initiative a
strong enemy post from which there
was persistent firing. He knocked
down one German with his fist and
brought back an officer and eleven
others as prisoners

tackled the gun again and killed the
reinforced crew. He then used the
gun against a severe counter attack
during which ne was wounded
Another brave deed was that of
Driver Henry Dalzeel. who dashed at
a machine gun and with his revolver
killed or captured the entire crew
also capturing the gun. Although
badly wounded in the hand, he return
ed and served his gun until wounded
in the head
The German distaste for cold steel
can he explained by such deeds as
that of lance Corporal Leslie Ford
who, when a battalion was delayed by
uncut wire and enemy machine guns
inflicted heavy casualties. threw
| bombs among the crew, jumped into
the trench and charged with his bayo-
net. killing ten of the enemy and
