DECREASE IS NOTED
 IN ALL LUXURIES
Foreign Trade Record Shows
 Result Of War Economy

Importation of luNurieS into the { United states in the fiscal year 1916 shows u material fall-Otf when com
 pared with the preceding year, and a marked decline when compared with
 the year before tho war. Just how
 great the actual reduction is difficult
 to state, because of the fact that
 many of the articles usually classed
 as luXuricS arc stated only in figures
 of value, and as prices of these per
 unit of quantity have advanced
 tho lower value figures do not ade-
 quately represent the decline.
 A compilation by The National City
 Bank of New York shows that in
 practically all the imports usually
 classed as luxuries the 1916 figures
 fall materially below those of the
 preceding year, and are far less than
 those of the year before the war.
 That they should be less than before
 the war is quite natural by reason of
 the fact that many of the articles of
 this cha aCter originated in the Euro
 pean countries, some in the countries
 with which we are now at war and
 some with our Allies now too busiIy employed to manufacture or other wise accumulate materials of this class for eXpOrtatiOn. The banks figures show remarkable declines in the 1918 imports of practically all articles classed as luxuries. In art works, for example, the value of the imports of 1918 is but about $11 OOO,-
 900 against $23,0O0,0O0 in 1917, and
 $35, ,0OO, 900 in the fiscal year 1914, all of which preceded the war. In au- tomobiles the value in 1918 was but about $50.0OO against nearly $2,00O,- 900 in 1913, and more than $2,OO0,- 900 in 1912, while the average value per machine imported in 1918 was less than one-half that before the war. Decorated chinaWarc imported in 1918 | was but about $3,5OO,O0O in value l against practically sS,000000 in 1914. l Of cotton faces imported in 1918 the l value was but about $10,0O0,000 l against S16,50O,OO0 in 1917, and 1 nearly $340OO,00O in 19194. Of silk 1 laces the 1918 imports were valued at | but little more than one-haIf those of 1 1914. Of cotton plushes and velvets l the quantity imported in 1918 was less than 100000 yards against more !! than s,000,000 in 1917, and practically l 5,OO0,000 in 1914. Of ostrich 1 feathers, in 1918 the imports were | valued at nearly $1,00O,000 against 1 nearly $4,0O0,OOO n 1914 and over 1 $6,0000 900 in 1913. Tn precious stones | the total for 1918 was but about $32,- OO0,0OO against $47,00O,OO0 in 1917 | and $50,O0O,000 in 1913; while of | pearls alone the value in 1918 was less than $2,OOO,00O against over $S.0OO,- l 900, in 1917 and more than $10,O0O,- ! 900 in 1916.
 In the articles of food usually l chased as luxuries when imported l there is also a marked fall-off. The l

M ADOO INSISTS ON
 I2P. {. INCOME TAX
House Mill Not Get Revenue Bill
 Until Next Week

Washington, Aug. 2q.-%ccretar,
 McAdoo has notified bv letter the
 ways and Means Committee of ex-
 actIy the stand the administration takes on the personal income tax and the corporation income tax. His views arc so widely different from those of thalrman \itChin that the committee WILL be several days in adapting the
 bill to meet MT, McAdoo's suggcs- tions.
 AS q consequence, instead of being introduced in the House Friday the revenue bill will not be introduced until the middle of next week.
 MT. MCAdOo wrote that he is op- posed to the differential rate on cor porate incomes. Instead of the rate of l s per cent. on undivided surplus, with a 12 per cent. normal income rate on distributed corporate income, the Secretary of the Treasury insisted that fiat rate of 12 per cent. be i'm posed on all corporate incomes.
 The result Of imposing an IS per cent. rate on undistributed income and d 2 per cent. rate on distributed income would be to inject unsound conditions into business generally, ac- COrding to Mir. McAdoO. He felt that the tendency of business generally under the differential plan would be to distribute in dividends a greater percentage of earnings than would be economically safe.
 The attitude of the committee has been to consider as fully as possible the desire of the Treasury Department in framing the $8,O0O, ,00O, ,OOO reyenue bill. Tho committee is disposed to follow the Administration Sugges- tions rather than those of the chair man. MT. Kitchin made no mention Of the McAdoO letter today.
 The letter also dealt forcig1y with the Administration attitude on in dividual income taxes. The committee had tentatively adopted a plan to impose a tax of 10 per cent on earned incomes and 13 per cent. on unearned incomes. These rates went by the board today when the Treasury recommended a flat rate on all individual incomes of 12 per cent An abatement of one-half of this rate would be applied under the Treasury plan, to incomes or portions of incomes of less than S4,O0O a year.
 The impellng reason behind the op- position of the Treasury department to the proposed differential between earned and unearned incomes is founded on the difficulty of allocat- ing this tax. The committee has been at loggerheads on that subject for some time.
 The McAdoo letter announced plain ly this opposition to the provisio in the section of the bill covering war and excess profits winch would force to pay at least 10 per cent. of their net profits if capitalized at $1,OO0,0O0 or more. MT. McAdoo said that a point can be reached where raising taxation rates will not increase revenue.
 MT. McAdoo's opposition to the diff ferential, on distributed and undis- tributed corporate earnings, was a surprise. His opposition to the diff ferential on earned and unearned in dividual incomes was also rather un-

EXAMINES ALL MEN
 BEFORE SENT AWAY
pr. D. w. O"ConneH of Second District Board Thinks This Fair to Man
 and Government.

pr. D. W. O'Conneu the medical member of the second district eXemp- ton board who has so capably assisted In handling the draft in his district, has intituted an innovation in that he now re-examines all men before they leave for camp with their draft incre- ments
 Dr. O'Connell believes that this is only in fairness to both the individual and the government Many of the ;nen who are being sent away were eXamin ed a year ago, or several months ago, and the doctor realizes that in the in terin mans health may have chang ed materially. He may have suffered with some accident that has impaired his health or for some other reason he may not be fitted for genral military service even though he was when first examined By giving the men a pre- functory examination just before they leave for camp, Dr. O'ConneIl hopes to find any such cases and at same time assist the amy surgeon by making it unnecessary for them to examine eX- treme cases and reject the man at camp.
 This new scheme was first put into effect by pr. O'Connell when the last quota went to camp and the next quota, which is made Up of colored men who are to leave Sunday, has been ordered to report at the eXemption board Saturday at D. m. for eXamina- ton and instructions.

SHOCK IS BEING STUDIED
 BY PHYSICIANS
Some of the War Problems That Are Being Worked Out in the Laboratories
 Abroad.

AMERICAN ARMY LABORATO- BY, FRANCE, Nov. 16.-The myster ious collapse like that of approaching death which is suffered by soldiers suffering extreme shock from shell wounds is being investigated here. A noted research scientist from liar yard is conducting the inquiry. The first and natural conclusion was that the collapse was due to the shock of the nerves. But the experi- ments now going on here do not ap- pear to bear out that conclusion. On the contrary, animals badly wounded in the foreleg or thigh showed the full effect of the shock until the wounded member had tourniuet bound tightly around the limb just above the wound. This cut off the flow of the blood from the wounded part of the rest of the body. Fol lowing this the shock effect imme diately subsided, as shown by the delicate instruments which recorded each seconds pulsations. And the shock rose again immediately when the band was loosened.
 l From this the research was gradu ally making clear that the mysterious shock effect had direct physical connection with the flow of blood from the wounded part, and was not an effect of the nerves.
 The two animals on which this ex perimental research was being con ducted were under the effect ol ether, so there was no pain.
 In the operation room here autop sies and examinations are being made of skin tissues and organs af fected by gas attacks. Some of these attacks had occurred only eight days before so that the parts showed the 1 full effect of this constructive agency

DECLARES WRECK OF SOPHIA WILL
 BE INVESTIGATED
Vice President of Canada an Pacific Asks People Suspend Judgment
 in Meantime.

VANCOUVER. F. C.. Nov. T. Dalton c. Coleman, vice president of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, who has been on the Coast the past few days investigat- ing the loss of the steamship Prin- cess Sophia, made the following statement today:
 The Canadian Pacific Railway Company would ask the public to receive with reserve any hysterical statements made in connection with the loss of the steamship Princess Sophia. No doubt a proper govern ment investigation will be held in due course, and in the mean time, in justice to the captain and justice to the crews of the American boats who went promptly to the rescue of the Sophia, judgment should be suspended.
 Defends Captain Locke.
 Statements to the effect that Cap tain Locke refused offers of help because he was awaiting instruc-
  same ca 1tain has been known to go sixty miles out of his course to rem der assistance to a disabled vessel without instructions from his head quarters, and was commended for so doing.
 In the present case, he asked for no instructions, but merely reported eli ha hn ceived, and told why it was impos- sible to transfer the passengers at once.
 Immediately after the ship was stranded, the captain was tele- graphed about measure for the safe ty of the passengers, and every tel egram sent him by the management of our Coast service referred ex cusively to this point, and no ref erence whatever was made to ques- tions of expense, or even of salvag ing the boat itself.
 Sought Safety of Passengers.
 The safety of the passengers was our first and only concern, and be- ing perturbed over the fact that it was impossible to get them off on the day of the stranding, we tele- graphed not only our general agent in Alaska about adequate assistance, but the telegraph service being such that a proper reply was not forth coming, a telegram was dispatched to the United States collector of GUS toms at Juneau, asking if he could do anything, and satisfactory re- ply was received from him.
 As to the measure which might have been taken to get off the pas sengers, we would refer the public to the official report of the captain of the United States ship Cedar to his government, and the public statement given to the press by the Governor of Alaska.
