NEW FEDERAL ACT INCREASES STAMP
 TAX 0N DEEDS
Additional Revenue Totals $247 on 60 Documents
 Filed Here.

Sixty deeds, filed in the circuit clerks office since December, 1917, in which only part of the purchase price was paid and lien retained on the land, did not have sufficient in- ternal revenue stamps, according to a new ruling by Internal Revenue Col lector Jack Walker in letter to Meyer Solmson, deputy collector here.
 As a result Deputy Circuit Clerk s. M. Vaulx yesterday sent out 60 let ters to collect the balance due on the tax, wnich aggregates S247. Under the act of 1914 the stamp tax was re qured only on the amount paid down on the purchase price Under the act of IF tax for the whole amount of the purchase price must be paid when the deed is filed. Unless the purchas' CTS call and pay the balance of the tax they will be subject to prosecu- tion, MT. Solmson said.
 Under the act of 1917 also deed with nominal consideration or a con- sideration of s1 must bear stamps covering the full value of the property involved. A quit claim deed correcting a flaw in title is not subject to tax, nor is a deed subject to tax which covers gift from parent tc child or from an individual to a municipality.
 A deed given by husband and wife to straw man" who immediately executes 9 deed reconyeying the prop erty to the wife is not subject to tax.

Associated Press Summary

America is stripping for the decis- rope. In an executive session of the military committee of the lower house of congress, Secretary of War Baker, Adjutant General Marsh chief of staff, and Provost Marshal General Crowder have asked congress to glve the president blanket authority to in crease the United States army to what eyer size may be necessary to win the War. his country now has nearly 2,- 000,00 men under arms and the army appropriations for this year would provide for an increase of this num- Der to 5000 .00O.
 While America's plans for throwing it's every resource into the battle against Prussianism are maturing, the lull which has broodetl over the west ern battle line continues.
 Expected Attacks Not Launched The expected German attacks on the Ypres and Amiens fronts have not been launched. Here and there the opposing artilleries have broken forth into wild bombardment such as us- ually preludes massed attacks on the allied lines. but they have died out af ter few hours. Here an1 there .lO- cal operations have been carried out for the purpose or Strengthening and raiding the enemy's positions, but they have not developed into any thing unusual.
 The Germans must attack soon op acknowledge their defeat in their ann bilious attempt to utterly crush the all lied armies. The presen: phase of the battle is not unlike that before Verdun two years ago. after the first German rush had been stopped and even at tempts to carry local Objectives had met with defeat
 Kaiser Has Mare Reserves.
 Germany has lost heavily but the emperor still has reserves to tnrow into the fight. The defeat Monday on the Meteren-V VoormeZeele line, south west of Ypres, has taught the Ger mans that the allies are prepared to stand their ground and there seems no inclination at the present moment to renew a conflict which threatens to be disastrous.
 The report that Czech soldiers, de- serting from the Austrian army, now are with the Italians. has been follow ed by dispatch saying that Bulgar- ians who had been captured by the Italians. have asked permission to fight the Austrians and that they are now on the firing line.
 The British forces in Palestine have r ecaptured Es-Salt, a village from which they retired three weeks ago under pressure from superior force of Turks and Germans.

 An administration measure amend ing the selective draft act to provide for this grant of power will be pre- pared immediately and prompt action on it asked.
 Secretary Baker told the committee 1t would be unwise to set any limit on the number of men who could be called to the colors and that the grant ing of complete discretionary author. lty to the president to increase the size of the army as rapidly as transporta- tlcn and equipment facilities may war rant would have great psychological effect on the enemy by showing how thoroughly the nation is throwing it's resources into the conflict.
 The army appropriation bill this year, MT. Baker said, should provide for approximately 3,000,O00 men in- cluding the nearly 2,00O,OO0 men now under arms but this should not be accepted as any fixed limit to the number of men to be called within the year. Supplemental appropriations he said, would be submitted as the army is increased.

 Allies Welded Together
 French Army Headquarters, via Ottawa. Ont, May 2.-Under the German blows the allied armies seem to be welded together as never be fore. There now is no point of junction at which the Germans can thrust.
 Tn process of welding together tho two armies is complete but it will not stop there. Franco-British div isions will be moved about on a solid ly knitted front at the wish of the allied high command as freely as German divisions.
 Against the enemy's territorial gains mnst be set the fact that he had thrown l40 divisions into battle in five weeks A considerable num- ber of these have twice been en- gagged and som thrice. Adding these appearances there is a total of 1S6 engagements of divisions equiva- lent to a mass of 2,500,000 men whom the enemy has already put into battle.
 German Losses 3lO.OOO.
 As a German division is never with drawn until it has sustained severe losses, an average of 2,500 it is reasonable to reckon the enemy s loss since the beginnine of the battle at not less than 350,000
 The Germans began the offensive with reserve of 650,000 in depots in ll'rance and at home. Behind these there is only 1920 class consisting of youths half of whom are under IS years of age.
