By FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

William NJ. Williams, Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, is con-
sidering the desirapility of making
full statement regarding the seiz-
ure for excess-profits taxes of s4,-
900, 900 paid over by the hartman
banking and shipping interests for
control of the Kerr Navigation Cor
pOration. The seizure is said to be
the largest and most drastic ever
made under the eXcess-profits law
and has been almost the sole topic
of discussion in official Washington
since it was first and exclusively
reported in Sundays Washington

that the unprecedented episode can
be officially explained without iIlu-

Chandler & Co. Partners.
Pending the Treasury Depart
ment's decision as to the wisdom of
turning the searchIight on the entire
transaction, it is possible to reveal
a number of other significant facts
in connection with it. First and
foremost among them, perhaps, is
the circumstance that Hartman and
Company's partner in the Hamburg
American, ,line-deal is the New York
banking firm of Chandler & Co.
Chandler & Co. were active in the
earliest months of the world war in

Big Uncultieated Tracts

Development.
OWNERS LACK POWER
Proprietors Make Terms
With Tillers of Soil in

Service-Special Cable Dispatch.)
Florence, Sept. 6.-While organ
lied labor OF Italy is making it's
great effort to "Sovietize" all indus
tries, the peasantry is making SINH
lar advances against land owners.
In Central Italy farmers have in
vaded thousands of acres of unculti-
waited land in Campagna Romano for
development along the Communist
lines.
Terms settled.
In Tuscany, one of the best culti-
waited regions in Italy, land owners
have made settled terms with the
peasants of the Socialist party. But
they say it is impossible to meet the
terms of the peasants of the Popular
party, as the terms would give the
peasant not only voice in the man
agement of the farms, but at the
same time empower the farmer to
contract for all Kinds of improve
ments at the owners expense.
The agreement between the So
cialist party and the land owners
gives the peasant one-half of all the
produce. The owners pay for the
copper sulphate necessary for the
Grape-producing soil and also fur
nish the fertilizer and pay for part
of the cost of the farm implements.
The peasant has 600 square meters
for his private gardens and family
needs. He has also one or two pigs
out of the farm stock for his own
use. The contract must be made out
for three years.
Peasont Gets Half.
The landlord pays the taxes, and
after all personal allowances are
-4ss-k u,fron4 the-produStioa the farm
owner gets one-half Of what is left
in produce.
Prior to the war the peasants had
verbal agreements, and many fam
iliesslived on the same ground for
centuries. The land was divided up
into tracts called "Podere." which
vary in size according to the
family.
The farmers are the most pros
porous of all classes. Toward the
extreme south there is much pow
erty. although more real content
ment.

were weak for I'd have backaches and
became tired so easy. I couldn't sleep
from nervousness but would lie awake
nearly all night, then drop off into
sleep and wake next morning feeling
tired and dull
"Reading in the papers about Dreco
| bought a treatment of it and it has
acted like a charm. My backaches
are gone, never feel dizzy, bowels are
regulated, have good appetite and
my sleep is sound and refreshing.
DrecO has surely helped me and have
told many of the railroad boys about
it,"
DreCo is made from the juices and
extracts of many herbal plants which
act on the vital organs in a pleasing
manner. 1t is soon noticed that the
bowels begin to act regularly; the
appetite increases; sleep becomes
sound and refreshing; the liver gets
active and throws off the excess bile,
and the kidneys become strong and
strain the poisOns from the blood.
The whole system takes on the new
life and fills you with new energy and
