Leipsic.-The entente officials who
expected the German submarine policy
in the war to be passed upon in its

charged with war crimes, when 1t
dealt with the cause OF Lieut.. Karl
Neumann, charged with the sinking Of
the hospital ship Dover Castle by the
German submarine which he COM
manded, were bitterly disappointed.
Lieut.. Neumann was acquitted after
a hearing of his case before the court,
and through the manner in which the
issue was handled by the judicial body
the only point at issue was whether he
carried out his orders.
Proof was brought to the courts sat.

or other German officials who had q
hand in inaugurating the ruthless sub
marine policy were criminally respon-

AS the submarine commanders who
sank the Lusitania and hundreds of
other entente ships probably can shield
themselves as Neumann did behind
their orders, it was commented in en-

tht cases are poorly selected and bad

Entente citizens who attended the
trials have generally expressed them
selves as regarding the German court
as dignified and reasonable body.
The presiding officer of the court
after announcing Neumann's acquittal
with costs against the German gov.
eminent, said that all civilized ma
lions recognized the principle that a
subordinate is covered by the orders
of his superiors, He said that the &C
cused had carried out orders without
in any way exceeding them and that
there was nothing to prove that he
had been guilty of particular cruelty
as alleged in the allies accusation. He
acted as he had to act, the judge said
and in the opinion of the court there
was not the slightest doubt that his
orders were justified.

INCOME TAX TERMS DEFINED.
Statement Issued By Collector of In

The following statement is issued by
Collector of Internal Revenue r. w.
McCuen for the district of Vermont:
Merchants, manufacturers and bus
moss men generally need experience no
difficulty in taking their Inventories
for the year, 1921, to conform with the
new revenue act. The language OF the
revenue act of 1918 and the revenue
act Of 1921 tSec. 2031, relative to in
vcntories are identical;
THAT whenever in the opinion Of
the commissioner the use Of inven-
tories is necessary. in order clearly to
determine the income of any taxpayer,
inventories, shall be taken by such tax
payer upon such basis as the commits
sioner, with the approval of the secre-
tary. may prescribe as conforming as
nearly az may be to the best account.
ing practice in the trade, or business
and as most clearly rejecting the in
come
Present treasury regulations pro-
vide that inventories must be valued
at either cost or cost or market,
whichever is lower. Taxpayers were
permitted, regardless Of their past
practice, to adopt the cost or market
basis, whichever is lower in taking
their inventories for 1890 Thereafter,
the regulations provide. changes can be
made only after permission Is obtained
from the commissioner of internal rev.
enue.
I'm the case of merchant cost
means the invoice price less trade or
other discounts, accepting strictly cash
discounts approximating a fair rate Of
interest, which may be deducted or not
at the option of the taxpayer, proYid
ing consistent course is followed. To
the net income price should be added
the cost of transportation and other
necessary charges incurred in acquir-
ing possession of the goods.

GIFTS OF THE OCEAN.
Rockaway Beach Combing Is Found
Profitable Trade.

High tides, cold weather and the
rain have not hindered the activities OF
the beach combers at Rockaway beach
Ever since the season closed three
months ago. the beach combers have
been busy searching the sand for val
uables. One beach comber, observed by
a resident Monday, was carrying a silk
umbrella filed with jewelry and an
other half filled with coins. He ex.
planned that the rain had aided him in
detecting the presence of the jewelry
and coins in the sand.
For years beach combing at Rockaway
has been fall industry. Hundreds of
persons frequently take part in the
search and discover many valuable ar
ticles lost by summer visitors. Last
year 80 numerous were the combers
that the supports under some sections
of the pavilions and hotels were weak
ened as the result of their activities
and the police had 10 patrol the beach
in an effort to check undermining Of
Brooklyn Eagle.
