TAXES ON ALL TRANSFERS
One Kenosha Company Said to Hsvs
Left Itself Liable to Penalty of $40
Fine - Attorneys Kept Busy by
Company Officials.

! Federal Agent Thomas Ryan, repre-
senting the internal revenue collector
for the district has cansed something
| of a furry among the stock holders OF
kenosha corporation. He is in Keno
sha making an investigation of all
sales of stock with view Of discover
| ing violations of the federal law which
provides for the payment of a stamp
tax on all such transactions The law
! provides tax of Ave cents for each
one hundred dollar par value of stock
transferred with an added tax where
the stock is appraised at more than
| the par value named in the eertie"ates.
The law provides that the stamps re-
&c the stubs Of the stock books OF the
corporation named in the certificates.
In order to ascertain just how well
IKenosha corporations have complied
with the Law the stock books Of praeti-
eally every corporation In the city
have been barred to the Federal exam
liner and it is admitted that violations
Of the law have been discovered. One
Coz ,sessGiSE as XII Sc 81, faojng
penalty of $400 as a result Of failure
of its stockholders to comply with the
provisions of the federal statute.
| Corporations were appealing to at
torneys today to give them some advice
as to the enforcement of the law.
There seems to be some question as to
| Just when the law became effective.
Most attorneys have held that transfers
of stock made prior to December ],
1917 did not need to bear the stamps
showing the payment of the federal
taxes.
The demand for the stamp tax applies
equally to corporate and to private
transfers of stock and the people trans
| ferring the stock are liable to the col
lection of the tax. Il is not improbable
that several representatives of corpora
| tions viii be called to Milwaukee and
be forced to pay the penalties provided
for the violation of the law.
It is certain that the visit of the
inspector will have the result of bring
ing great care to the corporations in all
future transfers.
Investigations made seem to indicate
that the law under which the depart
ment is working went into effect on
December LIST, 1914, and that it re-
NAMED in effect until December 9th,
1916, and that between this date and
the operation of the present law which
began on December /, 1917, there was
no demand for stamp taxes on such
stock certificates.

TUG WILLIAM ENGEL
Quilted. BY FIRE

The tug William Engel'' owned by
Barnett and Meyers and one of the
oldest and best boats in the Kenosha
fishing fleet was ruined by fire at her
docks just off Middle street bridge
just after one clock this morning.
The damage to the tug is estimated at
close to three thousand dollars and
there was no insurance to cover the
loss.
The fire department worked for more
than two hours before the flames were
under control. Much of the upper por-
tion of the fishing boat was destroyed
and the hull was badly damaged
The origin of the. fire is mystery.
T. is said to have broken out in the
pilot house and few minutes after the
fire was discovered the flames were
bursting out all over the boat. No one
had been aboard the Engel since half
past two o. clock Tuesday afternoon.
Acting Chief Schwartz was busy in
vestigating the fire today. The tug
will be rebuilt at once.

GOVERNMENT RED TAPE
DELAYS BREAKWATER
City Engineer Makes Formal Applica-
ton for Permit for Building of
New Outer Breakwater.

City Engineer Hurtgen on Tuesday
formally made application to the
government engineers at Milwaukee
for a permit for the construction of
the outer breakwater. 1t is probable
that government red tape will consid-
erably delay starting the work on the
breakwater and it may be necessary
for the city to send representatives to
Washington to get the proper permits
for the work These permits must be
issued BY the War Department aud it
is thought that they viii be forthcum-
ing if the matter can be brought to
the attention of the proper officials
If the city must wait for the regular
routine of this work it might take
weeks to get the permit. The engi-
neers expressed the opinion that
there would be no objections to the
portion Of the breakwater which would
join city property but it was init
mated that there might be demands for
payments il tho breakwater were to be
ax4aaded. in front; Of private. ngnnerty.

Thirty-six thousand Germans par
ticipated in the repeated attacks.
Yesterday at 6 p. M, the Germans

German infantry attacked the
French positions between those
two points. The French resisted
the enemy assaults with full sue

Ormes 1.-TWO miles east of Vrigny)
the Germans were stopped by the
French fire and hurled back sever
al times upon their lines of depar-

With the Americans on the
Marine, June 19-One Franco-Amer-
lean unit on this front, under an
American commander, faces the
well known Tenthe landwehr regi-
ment, it was established in y dar-
ing patrol raid by American mar
ines. A captain and seven men
crept down to the water 8 edge,
near the town of Charteves (seven
miles east of Chateau Thierry, on
the south bank Of the Marine, and
directly opposite Jaulgonne.) In the
darkness they crossed to the OPP
posite side in a boat. As they piled
out On the bank they encountered
couple Of CENTRES, who fed without
offering resistance although the
patrols only weapons were the
captain s pistol and the men IS
knives. The Americans rushed into
the town and found five Germans
asleep in a cellar. They dragged
them out and rushed them
to the boat. Three of the
boches were rowed across.
In the meantime the alarm had
spread and the Germans sent up
rockets. A number of Huns fired
at the boat as it was pulled for the
American side. Despite this fire,
which increased as more Germans
rushed down to the shore, the boat
put back for the two remaining
boche prisoners, and the two Amer
leans guarding them. After the
prisoners and ther captors had
jumped in, the boat started for
the American side again. As it
neared the shore it struck some sub
merged object and capsized. All of
the occupants were rescued. There
were dozens of volunteers for this
venture. Those who were chosen
swore solemnly that they would
not be captured.

EENOsAA NLEAD FIGHTERS
Captains Dayton and Coney and Vale
All Members of Division Staff Of
Men Declared to Be the First to
Fight in German Territory.

Kenosha people were taking a new
interest in the great battles on the
Western front today as detailed mes
sages from Washington indicate that
practically all of the men who left
Kenosha with Company E and Com
Guard have now been moved up and
are fighting the Germans on their own
soil. The list of companies in the
Thirty second Division, the first divi
sion of the American army to be sent
into the trenches in Alsaee, was given
out by the War Department on Tues
day evening The fact that the
Thirty-second Division had been sent
against the Germans in the Alsace
region was originally given out
through German news sources
1t is now stated that the division
took over the section of the Alsace
trenches only a short time ago Con
neeted with the division are Captain
Coney, Captain Edward Dayton, Cap
tain, Asbury Vale and more than two
hundred men who volunteered for
service In Kenosha with the National
Guard units which were afterward
trained at Camp Macarthur. A few of
the men who were formerly members
OF Company M were transferred from
the division after the training had
been completed at Waco, but practical
ly all of the men went with the divi-
sion to France. Troop E was the first
to arrive in France and members of
Company M who were afterward trans
ferred to the 107 Supply Train fol
lowed short time later and were
caught in the Tuscania disaster, los
ing one of the Kenosha men.
The units having Kenosha men in
them are now known to be fighting in
these trenches and which have Keno
sha men include the 120th Light Ar
tillery under the command of Captain
j. S. Coney and Lieutenant Alexander
who went with the men from Kenosha
The 107th Ammunition Train under the
command of Captain Edward Dayton
and the 107th Supply Train i'll com
m9nd Of Captain Asbury H. Vale
In addition to these companies Ke
nosha has representatives in the
107th Military Police which is serv-
ing with the division.
The 107th Supply Train is now work
ing back of the lines supplying food
and ammunition to the men fighting
in 5he trenches.
There are a number of other units of
the Thirty-second Division which have
Kenosha boys enrolled in them.
So far as is known there have been
no casualties among the Kenosha men
in these trenches. 1T is known that
they have been under fire and that
they are being moved nearer the
main battle front.
Kenosha people will probably watch
casualty lists with new personal in
terest from now on with the official
notice that men from this city are now
battling ON the danger line.
No word has been received from any
of the Kenosha men announcing the
change in their positions in France.

ALIEN REGISTRATION
GOES MERRILY ON

Unnaturalized German born women
who have been married to American
men since April 6. 1917, are not Ameri-
can citizens, but are still alien enemies
according to the classification of the
attorney general of the United States
and must register at the City Hall be-
between now and next Monday evening
Some misunderstanding has arisen
over this point, many persons thinking
that if German born woman, un-
naturalized, married an American since
April 6, 1917, was naturalized AmerA~
can citizen because of her marriage TO
an American, but such is not the case,
and those women coming in this CLASH
fcation should at once go to the City
Hall and be registered.
"eThere is no chance for any German
born, unnaturalized female over the
age of fourteen years to evade regis
tration,' . said one of the officials in
charge of the work Tuesday, for we
are going to chee up the list, when
the work is done, with the men who
have been registered and when we find
where men have registered without
any corresponding women, we are GO
ing to investigate. "
American women who have Germa1
domesties can confer favor upon
them by making inquiries about this
matter and if they are not sure they
have been naturalized advising them
to 60 to the council chamber at the
City Hall and finding out without
running the risk Of innocently evad<
