AUsTRIANs CONsCRPT SERBS.
All Between II and 55 Must Work
in Fields.

LONDON, Aug. At Is learned from
a trustworthy Serbian source that a no.
tice calling up all the Serbian male
population between the ages OF II and
55 has been published in the Belgrade
newspapers. This new outrage upon tho
unprotected Serbian population appears
to mean the collective forced recruiting
OF Serbians for the purpose OF collecting
the harvest for the AustrO .Hunga rian
military stores.
In order to justify this new viola sion
OF the law OF nations, It Is learned by
Reuters. the Austro-Hungarian Govern.
ment has published the following
declaration:
This measure is Justified by virtue
Of Article So OF the Hague Convention.
As the result OF experiences It has been
found absolutely necessary to prepare
exact and complete lists OF all males
capable Of doing work. especially mer-
chants and those who have legitimate
standing. Those found capable will In
due time be called to suitable work and
will naturally be remunerated,"
Under the Bulgarian regime the treat
ment OF Serbians who have been re-
cruted has been even more ruthless
Exhausted, half starved and Ill clothed,
the people were compelled to travel sew
eral hundred miles to the places where
they we're put to work in the harvest.
Announcement was made or July 2S
that all persons OF both sexes between
the ages OF IL and 60 would be con-
sidered as liable to be called to work.

KELLEY WINS
HISTRIONIC LAURELS
Produces a Real Broadway
Tidbit at Camp Upton.
Special DESPATCH TO Tun su,

CAMP UPTON, l.. l.. Aug 4.3The next
time the local cantonment wants to have
a real Broadway theatrical tidbit inter-
jected between drills. Il Is a safe bet
that one OF the first names totted down
on the committee of arrangements will
be that OF Buck Private Jack Kelley.
Because, without any particular fuss
or noise. Buck Private Kelley made his
debut as a theatrical manager tonight
by producing at the Liberty Theatre viz
tually the whole cast OF the "Follies. I"
The show registered a success which the
soldiers said Is in the throes Of a dead
heat with the programme staged some
time ago by Sergeant. then Private,
Irving Berlin, who also had q hand in
getting together the production OF "Yip,
zap, Yaphank." a soldier play with a
kick 20 it.
Private Kelley saw TO II that the actor
folk were not neglected before It came
time to do their bit behind the foot
lights. Motors brought them into camp
and then Private Kelley's managerial
ability whisked them around to the bar
racks OF the Headquarters Company,
1924 Depot Brigade. where they were
entertained and messed" as the SOL
diers put 1t. Private Kelley is attached
to that Company, and the company re-
oeived half of the profits OF the enter
tainment. the other half going to the
actors hotel.
Among those who entertained the SOL
ders were Miss Lillian Lorraine, the

new company for each share Of the In

Jersey and two-thirds OF a share Of the
new company for each share of the In
ternational Harvester Corporation.
In statement giving the reasons for
the dismissal of the appeal from the de-
cislon of the Federal court Cyrus II.
Mccormick. prasident OF the Interna-
tional Harvester Company, says:
The International Harvester Com
pany, under the pressure OF war con-
ditions. has agreed to dismiss its ap-
peal in the Government suit now pend
ing In the Supreme Court Of the United
StateA
For business reasons, not affecting
the suit. the assets of the company
were equally divided. in January, 1913,
between the old company and n new
company. the International Harvester
Corporation. the latter taking over the
foreign plants and business and the new
lines. such as tractors. gas engines.
wagons. cream separators, &C.
THE greater part OF the assets OF the
new corporation was invested in the
foreign business. very largely in Russia
The war has played havoc with tho as
sets and business IN Russia and the Cen
trail empires No dividend whatever has
been paid on the forty million dollars of
common stock of the corporation during
the four years OF the war. The uncer-
families arising out OF tho Government
litigation. while pending would neces-
sarily prevent the old company from
making any permanent plans for the
development OF its business, and in the
event OF an adverse decision It would
be deprived of n large part Of its present
business without having established
other fields for its activities
THE result win be the loss by the
company OF a considerable part of its
long established trade in harvesting
machines.
IF the decree had been based upon
alleged violations OF the law by the
company instead OF upon its alleged
power to violate the law we would
hardly have felt warranted in diminishing
our appeal even for the sake OF conserv-
ing the business situation. AS 1t Is the

TO EASE BURDEN ON
SMALL INCOMES
Committee Favors Abatement
to 5 Per Cent. Tax on Those
Below $4,000.
Special Despdtch to The suS.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4-The basis of
the Attachments to be made from the 10
per cent. normal tax on personal in
comes has virtually been agreed on by
the Ways and Means Committee. It was
learned to-day. The Attachments. which
will have the effect Of considerably les
sening the tax burden on smaller in
comes. will go as far as cutting the 10
per cent. tax in two.
1t Is the present opinion of a ma
jority Of the committee that incomes and
portions of incomes below $4,000 a year
per cent tax. The exemptions OF
$4,000 for married and $1,000 for I'M
married persons apply. Of course.
From the beginning Of abating the
tax to s per cent on incomes 1t Is
planned to scale the abatement UP to
$4,000 incomes. having the full 10 per
cent normal tax apply to the portions
Of incomes above $4,000. When the
bill Is gone through by the committee
Republicans and Democrats. will make
an effort to provide a further abate-
ment in favor OF earned incomes.
1t is a problem whether this will sue
coed. The present plan is to write such
an arrangement into the law that after
the normal income tax Is figured out
the recipient of an income which is
more than one-half earned shall be en-
titled to deduct 20 per cent of his tax.
The Secretary of the Treasury. who
was expected tomorrow. may not arrive
until the latter part Of the week and the
prospective suggestions from the Ad-
ministration that heavier war taxes be
placed on excess profits may not reach
the Ways and Means Committee until
then.
Most OF the committee members are
not opposed to the imposition of a war
profits tax to be levied II in individual
cases It would yield more than the scale
OF excess profits taxes which have been
adopted. They believe 1t unnecessary
and tax which will yield practically
nothing. However, IL the Administra-
ton insists it will be written into the
law.
The suggestion which has come indi-
rectly from the White House that tho
President Is dissatisfied with the excess
profits rates tentatively adopted in the
new tax law has amazed most OF the
members OF the committee.
The suggestion that they are not heavy
enough and are letting profiteers es-
cape is ridiculous. they say. and they
point out that the so per cent excess
profits tax limited at by those who
pretend to represent She Presidents
Views on the bill Is actually applied on
all profits above % per cent. OF the cap
ital invested. The committee, for the
most part, believes that actually less
money would be raised by imposition OF
a fiat 80 per cent. excess prof1ts tax on
all profits above 10 per cent
Al all events, there will be no move
to change the excess profits taxes tenta-
lively adopted unless the word that the
change Is desired comes directly from
the white House or from the Secretary
of the Treasury.

Special Correspondence TO THE sus.

Specid1 Correspondence 10 The son.
PARIS. July 19.-There is a store in
the town OF Touraine which has bios
somed out with the following sign, in
which the sentiment Is 40 praiseworthy
that the English may pass without COM
ment:
Here one price only for American
and for French"
An American correspondent could
hardly comment for himself upon how
extraordinary such a sign is But at
least We may quote Lo Figaro:
"ln this town, alas. like many an
other. fourishes q species of profiteer-
Ing which Is almost criminal. The ma
jority Of the shopkeepers cheer as the
allies come TO save their country arrive,
and receive them with open arms, but
their patriotism stops there. It doesn't
prevent them In the least from exploit
ing their guests even more than their
compatriots."
The fact that a single sign OF the
sort was enough TO get space and mem
ton in an influential Paris newspaper
speaks volumes.

PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE French Chamber,
before It's adjournment yesterday until

which II carried out will make France
one OF the great ma ritime Powers of the
world. NJ Buisson. Commissioner OF
Maritime Transports. said he proposed
to ask $500. 100000 to develop French
shipping on an adequate scale. For the
American lines there must not be any
more transatlantic steamships Of %, 1000

(the former Vateriand) type. such as
will compare favorably with the craft
of the Hamburs-American Line. in the
future must run between tho United
States and France.
The French nag also must appear in
the Far East, he said. not only for trade,
but for national propa ganda. and this
must be paid for. What France needed,
NJ. Buisson concluded. was a state mer-
camille fleet.

missioner to the United StatAs, who also
spoke from the floor following NJ. Buis-
son. said that France could count upon

what move Nickolai Lenine will make.

he sought by threats and abuse to at
tempt to make It appear that Russia will
regard the proposed plan as hostile.
The Allies and the United States,
however, have discounted any action
which Lenine or Bolshevik agents, act
ing In the interest OF Germany, may
attempt, There is no intention to inter-
fere with any phase OF Russia's political
AFFAIRS in carrying out the Japanese
American plan and this means that the
plan is not calculated to interfere with
the Bolsheviki. But the question re-
mains whether the Bolshevik leaders in
Moscow will try to precipitate trouble
1t Is emphasized here that the Czecho-
Slovaks made point Of not mourning
the hostility Of the Bolsheviki. but their
plans were frustrated by the deliberate
efforts OF the Bolsheviki, acting under
German tutelage.
The adoption Of the Japanese -Amerl-
can plan means. IT is said. that the
United States. Japan and the Entente
Allies are now In accord in the general
policy OF cutting loose from efforts to
rely upon Bolshevik leaders in future
plans for Russia.

SAYS WILSON AIM IS
WORLD DOMINATION
Capt. Boyd Gives His Vie0s
to Vienna Paper.

AMSTERDAM. Aug. Capt Karl
Boy-Iod, former naval attache at the
German embassy in Washington, in CIV
ing his views on submarine war to the
Neus Frete Press OF Vienna, declares
that America would. in any case, have
entered the war He asserts that Presi-
dent Wilson's wish is that the German
empire and Austria-Hungary be de-
feated and Great Britain 30 exhausted,
mflitarily, economically and financially.
that tho United States will become the
controlling world power. He says the
Entente nations have been able tenn
porarly to surmount the heavy losses
inflicted by the submarines only by the
robbery of neutral mercantile fleets.
After trying to explain away the fall
ure of the submarine to interfere with
the transport Of American troops. dur
ing which he follows the lines OF Ad-
miral Won Holtzendorffs recent state
ment, Capt. Boyd says the problem Of
American military assistance to the
Allies 10 not a question OF cargo space.
Aware, evidently. of the critical views
held in some quarters In Austria re-
garding the U-boat campaign, he con-
tinues to plead that without the SUBJ
marine the military position OF the
Central Powers would be considerably
more untavorable. saying incidentally
that no less than $500 British ships are
employed in combating submarines in
the AtlanNc. the North Sea and the
Mediterranean.
In conclusion. Capt Boyd tries to
comfort the Austrians by saying that he
is quite unable to think. after my ex-
perience. that the war Is popular in the
United States" and that he believes
that the great majority OF the Ameri-
can people long as much for peace as
those who kindled this unparalleled
and senseless war against the Central
Powers"

so favorahly that the War Department
Is considering a plan for protecting SOL

scale.
An announcement made to-day by the
Department discloses that for months

ancient armor in the world. going over
the work of the old armor makers

numbering thousands OF pieces have
been shipped abroad and actually worn
by the soldiers. These include breast
plates. waistcoats. arm. thigh and leg
pieces. light shields and new kinds OF
helmets
The fact that 40 per cent of the
casualties are leg wounds and 33 per
cent. arm wounds is one reason why at
tention has been given to protecting SOL
.diers by the ancient method.
An interesting feature OF the an
nouncement is that the models for this
modern armor have been worked out at
by the museum when It learned that the
artist, Daniel Tachaux. a descendant of
one OF the celebrated armorers OF the
Middle Ages. His services were placed

all the tools of the ancient armorer's art,
including ninety kinds Of anvils. several
hundred different types of hammers,
curious shears and Instruments. the very
knowledge OF which to-day has almost
