Personal Service Corporations.
The term personal service corpora

of which is derived from profession
or business which consists principally
OF rendering personal service, the earn
ings of which are to be ascribed pri-
marily to the activities of the principal

them.

to by the president, vice president, or
other principal officer, and by the treas

Mrs. Peete is thought to be one

The fact that she was resident
of Denton's mansion and probably
has intimate knowledge of his affairs
led officials to hope she may be able
to give them a lead that Will put
them on the murderer's track.

MILAN, Oct. 3.-By vote. OF
seven to five the Socialist party
executives in session here passed a
resolution declaring the party ad-
hered to the Third Internationale.
This decision caused widespread
surprise as it was generally believed
that Italian Socialists would reject
the twenty-one demands of Lenin,
Bolsheviki premier, among which
was an order to conduct revolution
ary propaganda in the army and
make strenuous efforts to overehrow
the monarchy.

The decision was taken TO imply
that moderate members OF the party,
such ss Turafi. Modtx3isni. Treves.
and Prampolini. representing the real
brains of the party, would be expelled
from it's ranks.

BRITAIN LOSES
TRADE T0U.S.
American Merchant Marine
Booming While English Ships
Lie Idle at Docks.

Great Britain is greatly alarmed
over the activity Of the American
Merchant Marine, which, it was
learned today, is carrying such an
unprecedented proportion of the
world trade that British ships are
tied to the docks literally by the
hundreds.
MANY EXAMPLES CITED.
Examples of the shipping condi-
tions abroad are cited in reports to
Shipping Board and Departments OF
Commerce and state. 1t is stated
that on one recent day no fewer than
BIS merchantmen were found moored
at South Wales ports alone. t1fty-
one ships were laid up in London at
one time Still another shows l1o
ships were idle at the Antwerp docks.
Few details have been obtained as to
conditions in France and Italy, but it
is not believed either country Is hit
as hard as England
Part of the difficulty abroad is due
to shortage of bunker coal, labor
troubles and necessity for repairs;
but they do not account for the en-
tire present unparalleled situation.
The rapid rise of the American mer-
chant marine Is undoubtedly the most
important factor.
u. 8. AGENTS ACTIVE.
Immediately after the conclusion Of
the war American agents swarmeo
over Europe and obtained orders for
finished products and raw materials
in unprecedented quantities. All
available shipping was taxed to It's
utmost to transport these goods TO
Europe. The hrst decline In ocean
traffic was concident with the rise or
international exchange which placed
additional handicaps on European
merchants. Decline OF prices IN
America complicated matters further.
Cargoes ordered at prices of June
were cancelled by British buyers be-
cause transportation and port con-
gestion delayed them to such an ex-
tent that they could not hope to
compete with American dealers
abroad
CARRY BULK OF COMMERCE..
The American Merchant Marine is
affected less than any other. IT Is
now carrying SO per cent of all Amer
lean ocean commerce as opposed to
only per cent before the war. At
least 90 per cent of serviceable
American ships are in actual opera
tion.
For the first time since British
commerce destroyers flying the Con-
federate flag sunk and burned Ameri-
can ships during the Civil War, the
United states is now giving Great
Britain a definite run for her money
on the sea.

points. with that both sides seem
to have balanced. the more so as
nothing in the past can be changed.
