AUSTRIA'S UNION
 WITH GERMANY
Vexed Question at Present Possible Naturalization
 of Country.

Paris, Monday, March 10-By The Associated Press) the posst- bIe naturalization of Austria has as yet not come before the Big Five in formal way, 1t is being discussed here. Certain Socialistic elements in Austria are striving hard to prevent naturalization, but there are other in f1uences anxious to see 1t effected as it would give Austria protection sim liar to that enjoyed by Switzerland.
 The proposed union of Austria with Germany is presenting many difficult ties, and German interests are en- deavoring to effect a union of Austria so that the German section may be annexed. Many of the members of the Entente are unfavorably disposed toward the standardization of any part of Austria, as it is regarded as un- desirable and embarrassing to a, coun- try seeking membership in the League of Nations. Switzerland's neutrality presents many problems to the Su- preme Council as her status would be uncertain, should she be admitted to the League and still retain her ne:- traIity, as she desires.
 If that is possible the Peace Con- ference will consider the neutraIIza- ton of the Austrian TyroI. which would afford protection to the north ern Italian frontier.

Largest Tunnel in the World.

Notwithstanding the war, the largest tunnel in the world Is well under course of construction in France, it's object being to give Marseilles connec- ton with Paris and the interior of the country in general by rail and wa ter. The canal will provide ample wa terway for barges. The new harbor and the cutting of a ship canal, actual ly tunneled through solid rock for five long miles, joining the old harbor and the Mediterranean to tha River Rhone. The Rhone's upper stretches are placid and already are used extensively for barge navigation, but near MarseilleS the stream is far too turbulent for commerce. A range of hills had pre- vented the construction of a canal in days gone by. Now, with France en- ergized by the war and with the neces- sity for the canal emphasized there by, the tunnel is being cut and the canal will soon be opened. The work was begun in 1911-12, and has been continued through the war. By this canal and links already available, barges can be sent from the Mediter- ranean to the English channel.

Cause Of oil Rashea

Oil rashes in users of cutting lubri- cants and cooling liquids are found by the British department of scientific and industrial research to be generally due either to plugging of the small glands at the roots of the hairs of arms and legs, or to mechanical abra- sion of the skin by suspended metal particles in the cutting oil. Suppura- ton or abscesses may result. Pre- ventives are dusting the skin with starch and zinc oxide powder before touching the oil, abundant after-use of soap and hot water, sterilizing of oil by heating to 300 degrees Fahren- heit and frequent change to clean cut ting oil.

War Horrors

Two women were talking on a bus. My hair became so gray during the war" said the first woman. 'I hope 1t will be all right after awhile"
 T can understand" said the second woman. ''It was enough to make any one's hair gray. I am sure you won't add any more gray hairs now that peace has come"
 "Oh," said the first woman candid ly, "f5 wasn't exactly because of the war that my hair became gray-that is, it wasn't because of worry; but, you know, the preparation I used to use-was tmported-and during the war I couldn't get any of it. I had tG let the gray hairs have their way but now I hope it will be different" she ended brightly.

Elephant to Have Shoes.

An interesting experiment was re gently tried out in New York city on De Wolf Hopper's hippodrome ele- phant, Lena, says the Christian Sci ence Monitor. 4 huge shoe, presum- ably made of coarse leather or cow hide, with stout laCes of the same ma terial, was tried on the elephants foot. To put it more correctly, four shoes were tried on the elephants four feet, in the hope that they will keep Lenas feet warm during the cold weather Certainly Lena will look very funny, walking about with these huge shoes on.

part Of the transaction. He has thus been
placed in funds, and the purchaser Of the
goods has reasonable time in which TO meet
his obligation and will do so out of the
turnover of his goods which he has effected
in the meantime. The ready negotiablity
of the acceptance is further evident in the
fact that il can be promptly rediscounted at
any Federal Reserve Bank.
The use Of the trade acceptance obviously
makes for sounder business and banking
conditions. II is not asserted that single
name paper is not good or illiquid. but it
may be fairly said that the trade acceptance
is better and more liquid
The National Association of Credit Men,
with 29,500 members, recently reaffirmed
its approval of the trade acceptance as de-
sirable credit instrument for the ordinary
commercial transactions Of the country.
Cooperating in promoting the use of the
trade acceptance is the American Bankers
Association. with nearly 10000 members
An increasing number of commercial and
financial organizations are recommending it,

The two great things that have made
Modern Business possible, that have raised
il from the grade of the banana stand TO
that of the wholesale house, are
The Bank Check and
The Credit System.
They have expanded business a thousand
fold, and without the mischief that lies in
inflated currency.
And now comes Third, THE TRADE
ACCEPTANCE.
The American Acceptance Council explains
the advantage of this device thus:
There are vast sums Of money tied up
in open book accounts. If credit is the
motive power of business, why prevent a
use of it commensurate with the needs Of
the manufacturers and merchants whose
capital is largely distributed among their
customers? The trade acceptance makes
this capital liquid without, at the same
time, interfering with reasonable terms ex-
pected by buyers.

goods, he receives from Mr.. Seller, with the

Washington, July 3-"Tax dodgers may take warning by the IS months prison sentence imposed on William A. English and John H. O'Brien, Bos- ton wool merchants who pleaded guilty of conspiracy to defraud the government of federal income taxes" said Commissioner of Internal Rev enue Daniel c. Roper today.
 Tt is and will be the policy of the burea to pursue tax frauds relent- lessly. This is the only course possi- ble in justice to the man who hon. estly pays his share of the common levy.
 Tn the checking up of returns, evidence to show fraud will be fol- lowed by a thorough and complete investigation which, though it may require years, will be continued until the persons involved are brought to justice In every case warranted by the facts the bureau will urge the imposition of the extreme penalty.
 Taxpayers who have not met their full tax requirements sh ould not wait until discovery Is made by rev enue officer. There Is great differ ence between the self-discovered tax dodcsr or tax delinquent and tho one ulSCONeTeu Dy OuT Ihe hulle for compromise is before discovery by a government official.
 "It is our determined policy that wealth shall not influence to prevent wilful tax dodgers from going to Jail. The big and financially able must be treated in the same way as the small wilful violator, and hence compromises through money will be rejected"
 The Boston wool merchants, who 1t was alleged attempted to defraud the government out of about 95 per cent. of tax due, started business in 1913

YANKEE FIRMS
 EAGER TO BUY
 GERMAN GOODS

Treves July 3-American firms appear eager to buy German made goods as quickly as possible, accord Ing to letters passing recently through the United States army censorship. Canoes, agates and amethysts ap- pear to be particularly in demand in America. As an indication of how German industries are being stimu- lated by orders from foreign coun- tries, a business letter recently said that the crockery factories in Thur ingen have enough orders on file to keep them engaged four years.
 On the other hand, Germany Is buying from outside countries goods of various kinds. Purchases just at this time, however, are confined chiefly to food, cloth and other articles of necessity. Letters to American manufacturing firms con- tinue to pass through the censorship in which German firms or individuals make inquiries regarding agencies in Germany for automobiles, rubber goods and other articles of which the country has been deprived because of the war.

under the firm name of English & O'Brien. The business increased rap idly, largely on account of war con- ditions.
 As brought out by the court, in 1917 English and O'Brien filed re- turns showing a total partnership and individual tax of the two partners of $109,O0O. Upon investigation, it was found that the true tax of the partnership and the two individuals was S1,379,S17.49. The defendants attempted to conceal their earnings by keeping two sets of books, and by making false entries in the books which they planned would be check ed by revenue agents. They also fal- sif1ed their inventory at the end of the year 1917 by approximately s1,000,00O.
 When arrested English and O'Brien employed an able array of counsel, and endeavored by every device to escape punishment. Offers in com promise of more than $1,O0O,0O0 were suggested to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and refused.
 When arraigned the defendants pleaded guilty to a charge of con- spiracy to defraud the United States and represented to the court that the highest possible amount they could raise by borrowing and otherwise was s1,500,000, which, in addition to the amount already paid, they offer ed to pay if not sent to prison. They declared they would be able to raise but a small part of this amount if a prison sentence was imposed.
 A fine of s1O,OOO, in addition to the prison sentence, Was imposed upon each of the defendants. Civil pro- ceedings will be begun to collect the income and excess profits taxes due and the 100 per cent. additional as- sessment provided for by law
