To Answer Senate's
Call for Profit List

WASHINGTON, June 16.-To fur
nish the Senate with evidence of
profits made by corporations last year,
several hundred clerks are at work in
the Internal Revenue Bureau compil-
ing: list of probably 100000 concerns
which made more than Is per cent
profit. A report will be made in about
month, and will require an executive
order of the President to be made
public, since the war revenue law
forbids the divulgence of information
contained in income tax returns with
out special permission from the White
House.
The report will show the name. adj
dress, capital stock. net earnings and
profit percentage of each concern for
both 1916 and 1917. The capital stock
item, Treasury officials point out, will
not constitute an accurate guide to
actual profits, since many Corporations
have large sums Of invested capital
not represented in stock. The Senate.
in it's resolution of inquiry, however,
asked specifically for information on
capital stock.

was imprisoned until recently in Petro-
grad
Mr.. Bublicoff said that Mr.. Konoval-
off came virtually as the representa-
tive of kerensky, whom, he added, the
majority of the Russians were still
supporting. There were other inf1u-
ences than the mere imprisonment Of
honovaloff in the Fortress of Sts
Peter and Paul, said Bublicoff, which

THE aim of Konovaloff in coming
here" said Bublicoff, ais to enlighten
the people of the United States about
the Russian situation and about the
means which could bring order out of
E'ooo. AS laT as tne question OF MILL
tary assistance is concerned, Konoval-
off has taken a definite stand, and
that is the petition of the Constitu-
tional Democratic party, to which he
belongs.
Bublicoff added that this party had
petitioned President Wilson to inter
vene in Russia. Konovaloff, he said,
was president of the Military Indus
trial Committee, which had charge Of

regime. He was vice-president Of the
Moscow Stock Exchange, he said, and
owned big factories, which were man

"This makes Konovaloff as popular
in Russia as Henry Ford in America" !"
said Bublicoff. "The plain people wor-

Germans Strip the Dead

How Germans attempt to undermine
the morale of the Allied nations was
Gold to large audience at patriotic
meeting in St. Marks Church in the
Bowery yesterday when Captain J. II.
Finlay, of Canada, recounted recent
experiences at the front.
German soldiers were ordered bv
their leaders to strip the Allied dead
and wounded OF their Identification
tags and cards, according to a captured
German captain upon whose person
thlrty-two of these tags and cards
wero found, Captain Finlay said. This
was done to keep those at home in
Ignorance of the fate that had be-
fallen the Allied fighters.
Former Senator Theodore Burton. OF
Ohio, predicted an uprising in Austria
because of the present economic situ-
alton in that country. Although such
Il revolt would be harmful to Ger.
many, the former Senator did not be-
lleve that any active spirit of dis
content would manifest itself in Ger
many proper. He looked forward to
the end of the war by the early fall,
perhaps sooner, and pictured all the
nations led by America in the battle
for freedom.

Finland Rejects
Allies Terms for
Food Supplies
Insists on Efforts to Win
Carelia From Russian
Control
sBp The Associated Press,

oIoCKHOLM, June 16.-The Finn
lsh government has no intention of
taking any aggressive action against
the Mourmansk Railway, but it can
not undertake not to endeavor to re-
unite Russian Carelia with Finland.
This information has been impaired
to the Finnish Legation in Stockholm
by the Finnish Minister for Foreign
Affairs in response to communications
from the French and British legations.
The French Legation publishes the
correspondence.
The communication of the French
minister informed the Finnish min
lister that the Allied governments SYM
pathlzcd with Finland and would glad
ly permit imports to that country to
alleviate the food situation. Finland.
however, rendered this impossible by
inviting German intervention, the note
says.
1t was added by the French minister
that the Allies were ready to send
what provisions could be spared as
soon as Finland freed herself from
foreign influences and on the condition
that the government "refrains from
and does not tolerate any action
against Russian provinces situated
outside the grand duchy's present
borders,"
The Finnish minister in his reply
calls attention to the fact that his
government, through it's representa-
tives in London, in April declared it.
self willing to abstain from any action
against the Mourmansk Railway. He
said, however, that the Finnish govern
ment was unable to see the Justice of
placing hindrances in the way Of the
realization of the efforts OF The Careli-
ans to unite themselves with their
brother folk in free Fndand
Apart from the small number Of
Russian immigrants, the minister's
note says, this population is entirely
Finnish and has preserved it's national
character during century of oppres-
sion.
"Heretofore it has been impossible
for the Finnish government to support
these national DESIRES" the note con-
tinues, "but the government feels that
1T cannot for all time disregard it's
duty to liberate Carelia from the Boil
shevlk bands of Russian ani Finnish
origin, which are terrorizing the
peaceful population.
Intervention has become necessary
from purely defensive reasons. since
the Bolshevik bands are threatening
devastation to the territories on the
Finnish border. Many attempts at in
vasion already have been repulsed"
The communication closes as fol-
lows:
"Many pathetic appeals have been
received from the Carelians to help
them place in order their administra-
tive and economic life where Russian
methods have made ell civilizing work
impossible"

Starting from the Mercer Street pc
lice station the party visited coffee
houses and poolrooms in the Italian
section to the west, demanding regis
tration cards of all who looked as
though they ought to have them. The
crowd watching the proceedings and
trailing the raiders became so large
at last that Mr.. Smith left Little Italy

lone youth, who wore no uniform, was
unable to produce registration card
and was locked up. Subpmnas were
served on five persons. Two other
tea rooms, one on Sixth Avenue and
one on Washington Place, were visited
with similar results.
Then the raiders went to the Lex

several women and sailors. One
sailor is alleged to have had flask
of whiskey. Two women arrested there

Last week the police noted q sudden
increase in Harlem's negro population.
Policemen in citizens clothing who are
familiar with the district were detailed
to question the strangers.

of the strangers showed registration
cards, but they were detained until

boards concerning their status in the

Rule for Directors Upheld

The National Civil Liberties Bureau
expressed satisfaction with the
manner in which the government
has dealt with the case of conscientious
objectors in military service. The br-
reau is distributing a pamphlet con-
tanning regulations affecting such in
voluntary soldiers.
Less than 1000 of the $4,000 men
called in the first draft voiced consci-
entious scruples against fghtiri,, the
bureau declared, and of these not more
than 600 declined to accept non-com-
batant service. The policy of the War
Department in delaying publication of
its intentions concerning CONSCIENTIOUS
cbjectors until after the first draft, it
was said, resulted in reducing the num-
Der of rccalcitrants to the minimum.
