stations have been ordered to resume
recruiting April /. A limit of 1000
new recruits month will be main
tanned until additional training fa-
cilities become available through the

Secretary of the Navy Daniels' dis
approval Of the proposal that the corps
be enlarged sufficiently to permit the
increase of the brigade now in France
to a full division has not discouraged
friends of that suggestion 1t is
learned that the Secretary's action was
due to his belief that, since the ma
rines in France now are an integral
part of General Pershing's forces, any
recommendation for an increase should
come from that officer.
The marines in France have been
used on lines of communication from
the debarkation ports to the main
American base and for provost guard
duty behind the lines, but strong pro-
tests on the part of friends of the
marines have resulted in the promise
shat the brigade would be sent to the

Edwards's Books Will Show
$500, 100000 Collected,
Is Estimate
$50 Clerks Working
One Cent Return Is Made by
Man, Who May Be
Joking

"Big Bill" Edwards. coilector for~the
I'd Internal Revenue District, was re-
minded of his football days yesterday,
when thousands focked to the Customs
House to file their income and excess
tax returns. Only three days remain
in which to make the returns, although
Collector Edwards has received author
itv to extend the date thirty days to
those who can show practical reasons
for not being able to report by the end
Of this month
1t was estimated yesterday that Col
lector Edwards's books would show
total tax collection of $500, 100000,
against S90,000000 last year. More
than $50 clerks are assigned to the work
of receiving and tabulating the returns.
These returns vary from one cent to
thousands Of dollars. The return for
one cent was looked upon as an at
tempted joke, but as it was certified it
will be collected. One taxpayer, who
on account of losses during the year
was relieved of the legal liability Of
paying an income tax, insisted on pay
ing $50. 1t was forwarded to COM
missioner Roper at Washington for dis
posal.
Answers were given yesterday by
Collector Edwards to two puzzling ques-
tions, capital. actual or nominal, and
capital invested in non-taxapie securi-
ties. He said:
actual or nominal. The war excess
profits tax law does not state when
capital ceases to be nominal and when
it becomes actual. Should the tax
payer be unable to ascertain under
which class the business comes, he
should enter the class which he thinks
is correct, state all the facts ard his
conclusions, and wait for a further de-
cision.
These remarks are given to help
those where the decision is cloudy On
the two ends, it is perfectly simple A
doctor, lawyer or salaried employe,
without doubt, is in the nominal class.
"A corporation, partnership or indi-
vidual doing business with d cash. paid
up capital, undoubtedly comes under
the actual class.
The law is intended to prevent the
reduction of an actual capital to a
nominal capital by the investment of
the actual capital in non-taxable securi-
ties and the use of these securities for
the transaction of business. Article As

No urther Arrests

BOSTON, March 27.-Reports that
another arrest mighc result from the
seizure Of papers at the home of DR..

Symphony Orchestra, who is held at the

enemy alien, had failed to materialize
up to late hour tonight.

Mrs. Muck and the doctors secretary.

For perhaps the first time in his life
the prisoner smoked a pipe. DR.. Muck
is a cigarette smoker, and from the

ever, forbid cigarette smoking. The

proximo. The rates Of other employees,

1T is rumored that some employers
Of labor have been discussing the
adoption OF an igit-hour-per- day basis,
and in view OF this fact we have given
careful consideration to this question
and have decided against it.
Extending over a period of many
years, we have been operating on an
elght-hour basis in departments where
the labor is unusually heavy and where
the workmen and managers have both
decided eight hours work was most
conducive to health and comfort; and
we have also been putting into practice
from time to time, during the last few
years, an eight-hour day in most of
our underground iron ore and coal
mines. A little over 25 per cent of our
total employees are on an eight-hour
basis.
"The conclus ions arrived - to-day,
as above stated, have been influenced
largely by the reason that we believe
the largest production will be thereby
secured. This is always essential, and
especially important in tNnes like the
present"
The new wage increase is the sixth
announced by the Steel Corporation in
the last two years. Two general ad-
vances OF 10 per cent each were made
last year. following three increases in
1916, each of substantially the same
percentages. The total payroll expen-
diture last year was S347 $40, 400. COM
