HALF-BILLION
COMES LAST DAY

WASHINGTON, June 26-The biggest
harvest of taxes ever gathered by the
Federal Government was finished last
night with the expiration Of the time
for paying excess-profits and income
assessments without added penalties for
delinquency. Estimates placed the sum
collected from these sources OF S2,775,

Payments not made yesterday are
subject to penalties Of per cent. with
per cent month interest. The ag-
gregate Of delinquent payments on re-
turns actual filed will not be large.
Hundreds Of small business and pro-
fessional men and other individuals
failed TO file returns or to make pay

intensive campaign viii be waged. They
VIII be required to pay heavy penalties
TO avoid prosecution as tax dodgers. The |
Internal Revenue Bureau, with its rami- |

serve as proof Of the intention Of many /
citizens ana firms to dodge tax liabili-

mother SHIP FOR

Heavily Armed German
Cruiser Reported Off

FAILED TO ATTACK
VESSELS COMING UP

NORFOLK, Va, June 26.-Reports OF
the presence OF fast and heavily Ger
man raider In West Indian waters We're
brought here yesterday by masters OF
vessels arriving from Central and South
America. The ship Is said 10 be OF the
cruiser type, with a rakisn build and
clean lines.
The fact that the raider made no ef-
fort TO attack two vessels which sight
ed her led the captains to believe that
she is a mother ship" for submarines
which recently were operating off the
Atlantic Coast
The raider was described by the ship
captains as about go feet long, with a
speed estimated at from fifteen to
twenty knots an hour.
Some OF those who sighted the craft
expressed the belief thai she was a
former fruit steamship plying between
the United States and Central America,
which had been captured and armed
by one of the submarines operating of
the coast. In their opinion, the vessel
was manned by some Of the seventy
odd men reported TO have been in the
crew Of one Of the submerslbles.
10 was also said that both the Brit /
lsh and American nayies have been no |
tilted OF the presence OF the raider 10 .
The West Indies and that sheps are
being taken TO protect shipping.

ITCHING IRRITATION
EASILY CURED

When you suffer with any skin trou-
bic, even though the Itching seems nm
bearable, do not think that 10 is neces-

Its power to instantly relieve any ir-
ritation Of the skin and make il soft,

lous.
Not only do minor skin troubles like

WATCH CHAIN PENCIL
FOR G. FRANK LORD

Recently. George Frank Lord. direc-
tor Of advertising Of the Z. !. dupont de
Nemours & Company, was called from
his private Office TO one Of the largcr
rooms in his department On his ar
rival. much to his surprise, he found
gathered and facing him the entire
membership Of the Advertising Division
Of the company.
Mr.. Lord was then presented with
watch chain and pencil. On the back
OF the watch were Mr.. Lords initials
very attractively engraved and on tho
interior OF the case was the following
inscription Presented TO George Frank
Lord. Director OF Advertising, dupont
American Industries, by his co-workers
Of the Advertising Division, June, 1918"
The chain consisted Of alternate links
Of gold and platinum Attached to the
chain was a handsome and useful gold
pencil.
While the gift was a valuable one, u
was only a very slight token Of the
high esteem, respect and honor in which
Mr.. Lord Is held by all the mepbers OF
his division. This tribute was from live
men and women to a live man who be-
iieves in doing things, a man who IS
quiet, sincere and unassuming and one
who commands the highest respect from
all with whom he comes I'm contact.
Mr.. Lord has been director OF adver-
tislng for the dupont Company since
April, 1911, at which time the advertis-
ing division consisted Of 42 persons, but
has since grown under his management
until now there are 260 men and women
employed in informing the public OF

extent that its materials are in use

Cabinet DIVIDES
ON PROHIBITION
By The United Press.

WASHINGTON. June 26.-Cabinet
members were sharply divided on the
prohibition question at the hearing OF
the Senate agricultural committee yes
terday with Secretary OF Navy Daniels
espouslng the measure. and Postmaster
General Burleson on the side OF the
"Wets"
Daniels contends that the efficiency OF
the navy yard has increased wherever
prohibition had been adopted.
Burleson said such law might re-
suit in delaying the successful prosecu-
tion OF the war"
In response to a question of Senator
Kenyon, Burleson said he was not
speaking for the administration, but
expressing his personal views.
THE great bulk Of the men in ship
yards are capable and trustworthy"
said Daniels. IN every case where
prohibition has been adopted the change
had resulted in increased efficiency.
Newport. r.. l., and Mare Island, Cal,
are two Of the places where a great
improvement has been brought about.
MANY protested the Mare Island rul-
Ing at the time. There are few op-
posed today. A destroyer was recently
launched there in record-breaking time.
At Newport conditions were so deplor-
able that it.would have been a crime
TO have permitted them to continue
H. is a mistake to think men in the
yards would lessen work because Of
when Congress says 2,O0O0O0 men in
the army and more than 100000 in the
navy shall be denied liquor / do not
think you are encroaching on the right |
Of citizens TO make these same rulings. /.
I'VE ought not to use one bushel Of |
wheat except TO aid in winning the war /
We ought not to use a single man eX-
'ept in some kind Of work that will
lelp win the war"
Daniels said he believed the workers
n the shipyards to be as patriotic as
he men in the service and quite as
Wiling TO make any sacrifice for the
'Ood Of the country.

''There would be more risk In war

lie declared that shipyards automati-
cally'got rid Of drunkards, and said the
chief effect of prohibition will be to
call sudden halt upon the daily rou-
tine Of hard working and sober men.
One OF the greatest difficulties we have
had to combat was the constant turn

ing that situation gradually and we are
frankly worried lest this proposed eX-
