ON NEW LOAN
is EXPLAINED

San Francisco, March 1.-THE fol
lowing telegram from Secretary of
the Treasury Carter Glass, explain
ing tax-exemption features Of the
Victory Liberty Loan act, has been
received by Governor James X. Lynch
of the Federal Reserve Bank:
at is perhaps not generally un-
derstood that under the terms of Sec
tion 2 (a) of TIE Victory Liberty
Loan Act, the interest received on
and after January l, 1919, until the
expiration of five years after the
termination of the war, on an amount
of bonds of the First Liberty Loan
converted, the Second Liberty Loan
converted and unconverted, the Third
Loan and the Fourth Liberty Loan,
the principal of which does not exceed
$4,000 in the aggregate, owned by
an individual, partnership, associa-
tion or corporation, will be exempt
from surtaXes, excess profits and
war profits taxes now o. hereafter
imposed by the United States, upon
| the income or profits of individuals,
partnerships, associations or corpo-
| rations.
"Not only is this exemption in ad-
dition to all other exemptions here
tofore conferred, but it is indepen-
dent of any subscription to the Vic
tory Liberty Loan, and is immedl-
ately effective. The Victory Liberty
Loan Act also contains provision
authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to extend the privilege of
converting per cent bonds of the
First Liberty loan converted and 4
per cent bonds of the Second Liberty
Loan into A IA per cent bonds, the
higher interest rate to be effective
from the semi annual interest pay
ment date next succeeding the date
of presentation for conversion.
"Having recommended that this
conversion privilege be so extended, |
shall of course very promptly eXer-
else the authority thus conferred up
on me and issue regulations covering
the details"

Henry B. Walthall. who plays the
star role in And a Still Small
Voice" a new National Film Corpo-
ration play, makes the part of Clay
Randolph, high-headed young society
man who strays temporarily into the
wrong path, a living lesson. The
play is not only great drama. but
IS we'll great moral lesson. 1t isn't
preaehy-quite the reverse, in fact
but il is a story that causes every
man who sees it TO recall some mo-
ment in his own career when he
might easily have been moved to do
as Randolph does. and to wonder
whether in the final arbitrament he
would have had the courage to win
back to solid ground as Randolph sue
ceeds in doing. The direction and
photography Of the piece are alike
excellent.

ITALY ANGRY OVER
LACK OF ALLIED AID

ROME. July 27.-Premier Uitti. today
presented the Chamber of Deputies
with a copy of the peace treaty with
Germany for ratification. A commit
tee, consisting Of twenty-four mem
bers, was Immediately appointed to
report their findings and recommend
what action should be taken.
Transport Minister Devito, replying
to questions of Deputies Pacetti and
Bignami regarding the refusal Of the
allies to provide Italy with coal, de-
clared that he must admit with regret
that Italy swas facing a very grave
problem. He said, however, that he
hoped help would be forthcoming from
the United States. He announced
that 1t was necessary to reduce rail-
road and maritime traffic.
Devito's statement made a great i'm
preston on the deputies, who ex-
pressed themselves on the ungrateful
attitude OF the allies toward Italy.
Following refusal OF the govern
ment demands made by merchant sail
ors. numerous steamers were held at
Genoa, Naples, and other important
ports, being without crews.
Announcement today was made that
the government was considering abo-
lition of the daylight saving law.

SHIP ENGINEERS
THREATEN STRIKE

NEW YORK. July PA continu-
ance of the shipping tie-up along the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts was immi-
nent today as the result of the threat
of marine engineers to strike for wage
increases bringing their pay to $50 a
month less than that OF the captains
of ships on which they served.
The strike threat OF engineers came
after settlement of the difficulties be-
tween seamen, firemen and other ship
workers with private owners and the
United States Shipping Board. The
engineers did not strike with the fire.
men and seamen. but gave encourage
ment to that strike while pressing de-
mands of their own for wage in
creases.
About 400 ships have been tied up
by the strike in New York harbor,
and those having perishable cargoes
would have to be reloaded with
stocks which were placed in cold
storage during the strike.
Final terms agreed on by the Ship
ping Board, private owners, and the
strikers showed that each had re-
ceded from the first stand taken and
had made substantial concessions.

sent to Jail IL he finds it necessary
to move his residence and has the
temerity to move his liquor with his
household goods.
The enforcement of prohibition
will be placed in the hands OF the
commissioner for internal revenue.
This decision was made by the sub
committee.
Division of the enforcement law
into two titles, one providing for
wartime prohibition and one for
constitutional prohibition, was also
agreed upon in the subcommittee. Up
to this time the Senate bill providing
for enforcement of the dry laws has
been under one title and the enforce
ment of wartime prohibition has been
as drastic as the enforcement of con-
stitutional prohibition. The Senate
will now follow the lead of the
House and give the vets less drastic
punishment during the period Of
wartime prohibition.
More progress was made yesterday
in the drafting of the bill than has
been made in the past two weeks.

DR.. j. B. Bayue, Once
Given Up For Dead in
Germany, Coming Home

DR.. J. Breckenridge Bayne. of this
city, famous for his courageous med
ical work in Eumania, will return to
Washington in September, it was an
nounced today.
DR.. Bayne is still in charge of two
hospitals and clinics in Bilcuresti, as
member Of an American Red Cross
unit.
Soon after his arrival in England in
1916. TO do volunteer medical duty,
the doctor was invited by the Queen
of Rumania to go to Bucharest.
He reached that city just before its
evacuation and was the only one of
the unit to remain, preferring to stick
by his patients. He stayed in the
city during the long bombing period
by the Huns and said that at times
he could look up through the glass
roof of his operating room and see
planes dropping bombs.
Operated On Self.
After two years in Bucharest he
made frequent journeys into the wild.
mountainous section to care for
scourge-ridden peasants. There he
contracted pneumonia and afterward
diphtheria. For the latter he had to
operate upon his own throat.
The people have suffered so much
after the epd of the war, DIR. Bayne
has declared, that they don't care
what happens to them.
DR.. Bayne was given the "Star of
Rumania" by the King. II is the high
est award bestowed by that country.
Probably no other American sur
geon has undergone the varied ey-
periencss of DR.. Bayne during his
years in the war zones. When Blu
charest was captured by the Germans
he was sent to a prison camp where
he was put in charge-of the hospital.
For long period no word was heard
from him, until his family finally
gave him up as dead. His return from
imprisonment was like a story from a
book and the tale of his hardshjps
both in the camp and during his es-
cape is "a most narrowing one.
Some time after his disappearance,

an indication of his death. A letter
was later received from a man who
claimed to be a prisoner escaped
from the clutches of the Germans,
who had been treated by the DOCTOR
and assuring HIS mother of his
safety. This was the only word re-
ceived until the doctors return.
