No More Announcements OF

spscial pesparcA to TEE sps.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The number
OF American y troops transported to
France no longer will be announced by
the War Department, Secretary Baker
said to-day. His decision caused sur
prise, as for several months approximate
figures have been furnished. and lately
this has taken the form OF weekly an
nouncements by Gen. March. Chief OF
STAFF. These eliminated in the official
statement OF Secretary Baker. Issued Just
-efore July I. that 100000 men had
sailed overseas and giving the number
transported each month.
While no reason was given Tor the
change in policy. Secretary Baker said
that II should by no means be taken to
imply that there was to be any reduction
In the number Of troops being des-
patched. Mr.. Baker said that possibly
at some time in the future statement
might be made indicating approximately
the number OF soldiers In France. but II
Is likely that this will not be for several
months. II then.
The fact that the contracts from the
British and French transports which
have been helping to carry American
troops are about to expire may have
something to do with the War Depart
ments change In policy. 1t Is believed
that new schedules for troop movements
are in preparation and reimbursement Of

can ships of which there Is now a stead
lily growing number. will In some cases
be substituted for the British and
French transports employed In the last

SIGN LANGUAGE PLAIN
AT BENEFIT BAZAAR
But Success Is Threatened b,
Candy Shortage.

When all the boys and girls who live
in and around Wall streets back yard"
gathered in the halls OF the Bowling

West street last night they chatted mer-
rlly. tripped the modern imitation OF the
light fantastic toe and a good time was
had by all. The only trouble with the
merry conversation was that very few
conversers knew what the others were
conversing about.
A swarthy Assyrian asked a beautiful

maid Of Athens whom he addressed smil-
ingly replied. "Surest thing you know"
In perfectly good Greek. She knew what

MAY TAX JEWELRY
SALES 20 PER CENT.
Majority Of House Committee
Virtually Decides on
That Levy.
TO STIFLE NO INDUSTRY
Burden Of Increased Imposts
Will Be Placed on In
comes.
Special Despatch 10 TIE suS.


WASHINGTON. July 1o.--While the new
war tax bill Is to hit hard at luxuries It
Is far from the intention Of the House
Ways and Means Committee TO impose
such heavy taxes on any industry a. to
practically wipe 1t out
On the heels Of the recommendation
sent to the Ways and Means Committee
from the Treasury Department yester-
day recommending heavy taxes on nom
essentials, many jewellers. particularly
those having heavy dealings In platinum.
appeared before the committee to-day
and protested against the suggested tax
OF so per cent. on retail sales.
r. II. Steele. New York teweller.
and Meyer d. Rothschild, chairman OF
the war revenue tax committee OF the
Jewellers organization, informed the
committee that so per cent. tax OH
retail sales would mean driving the
majority of jewellers into bankruptcy.
The discussion throughout the entire
hearing was rather beside the point, as
It was learned that the majority of the
Ways and Means Committee have prac-
tically decided to place a 20 per cent.
tax on jewelry sales.
The committee is not altogether
pleased with the blanket suggestions
sent to It. Many members believe that
most OF the proposals will not be instru-
mental in contributing toward raising
the extra billions Of dollars needed by
the American Government TO pay Its war
expenses.
The majority OF the committee wish
10 draw up a bill which will be evenly
balanced in raising revenue from mis-
cellaneous taxes and from taxes ana
supertaxes on incomes and proflts--not
evenly balanced in the sense that half
should be raised from incomes and half
from consumption taxes. sales taxes,
stamp taxes and tho like-but properly
proportional.
This Government has been so much
more cautious in imposing supertaxes on.
incomes than has England that mem
bers of the Ways and Means COMMITTEES
are disposed TO place the main burden
of the Increased taxes In that direction.
Hearings before the committee will Be
continued tomorrow and probably Fri
day. Tho jewellers may continue to-
morrow for part Of the session. Others
upon whom luxury taxes would fall
and affect their business wish to bs
heard before the committee begins to
draft the new law Monday.
Tho main concern of the committee 10
to frame such a law that sufficient reve-
nue. will be produced under It in the
post bellum period to pay fair share
Of the Governments expenses then as
we'll as while the war is on. That IL the
principal reason. II was pointed out to-
day. for balancing the income taxes in
the bill with other taxes and also for
making tho miscellaneous taxes such
that they will not stife business.

LOO CORPORATIONS
FAIL TO PAY TAXES
Subject to Fines Under In
come Revenue Low.
Special Despatch TO THE Sun.


ALBANY, July 10.-About 1.100 delin-
quent corporations doing a mercantile
and manufacturing business which have
failed to pay the State tax of 3
per cent based on the net income
from their earnings last year are facing
court proceedings. State Comptroller
Travis announced to-day. Under tho
law these corporations have since Feb
ruary 1 been subject to a fine Of 10 per
cent in addition to the amount of tho
tax. with ! per cent added for each
months delay.
In some instances corporations have
raised questions of law In their replies
to demands for payment, but there are
number which have failed to acknowl-
edge the notices sent to them.
Under the old corporation tax law
mercantile and manufacturing CORPORA
lions were exempt from State taxation
and tho majority escaped local assess
ments by filing certificates OF incorpora-
ton in the rural sections of the State.
although they conducted their affairs in
New York city or In other cities of the
State. The local assessors were ac-
cordingly unable to discover the corpo-
rations subject to taxation.
The new statute was enacted last year
and under its operation about Sis. 600. =
600 has been collected. 1t is estimated
that at least $20.o00.0 900 should be re-
ceived before the end OF the year.
