Just to pay the interest on its four war loam, the kingdom ot Hungary must raise next year the sum of 360,000,000 kronen, something over $75,000,000, Only by increased taxation is such a financial feat possible. After long consideration and study complete new tsxation system has been worked out, including a revised and increased property tax, a war profit tax for both business concerns and for private in dividuals, an income tax, and inher itance tax, and increased tax on stocks and bonds, higher prices for tobacco and illuminants, - The property tax assessment will begin with 50,000 kronen ($10,000). calling lor an annual payment of 60 kronen, and will rise to 12,000 kronen on 2,400,000. Five per cent of each 100 ono kronen or oart thereof above 2,400.000 will be exacted. All property in Austria- Hungary, as well as in foreign coun tries, bank accounts, casn, stocks, bonds, practically everything except household furniture, household uten sils and office furniture, are subject to the tax. ..-. The war profit tax likewise is ar ranged on a rising scale whereby cor porations must' pay in proportion to their increased profits in relation to capitalization if the business is local. If the profit sccrues from a business in, a foreign country, it must pay 20 ner cent of its orofits up to 200,000 kronen! 25 per cent between 200,000 and 400,000 kronen; 30 per cent be tween 400.000 and 700,000 kronen; J5 ner cent from that fiKuhe up to 1,000, 000 kronen, and 40 per cent pf all prol ti over that fiBure. ? - For individuals, the war profit tax hesini with a levy of 5 per cent on excess profiti up to 10,000 kronen and continues to per cent on 3uu,uw kronen.. . . - Incomes are not to be subjected to the new special taxation until they reach the 10,000 kronen figure. Of tne 35,000,000 kronen which it is expected will h rniaed bv this form of taxation, 25,000,000 will be devoted, for the bal ance of the war, to cnaritable pur- thu speedy pacer clearly demon strated his grand circuit class.

Dr, Barany Back From the Russian U Prison and Famous (Corrwopondinc, of Th AMoclaUd Piw.l Vienna, lulv 10. Entering the war as a volunteer surgeon, little known outside the circle ot spccinnoin u, his7own class, Dr. Robert Barany of Vienna, after fifteen months of cap tivity in Russia, has' at last returned as an exchange invalid to find him self famous as the Nobel prue win ner in medicine. . . ' , The knowledge which was the basis of his prize-winning book was gained chiefly ai surgeon in Prsemysl; the book itself was written in captivity; it has brought him wu.uw crowns in money; and it played no small part in securing his release from Turkes tan. The dramatic circumstances sur rounding his achievement have great ly heightened the effect of his return to his family. Nominally he was per mitted to leave Kuasia Decause joe is Hchtlv lame from an affection of one foot from which he has suffered since a child. Actually, n unex pected distinction, plus the efforts of Prince Karl of Sweden, went far to secure his exchange. . Despite his lameness, Dr, Barany volunteered for. service at the out break of the war, and was detailed as chief surgeon of the surgical depart ment of a hospital in Pnemysl. It was while there, as he modestly ex plains, that he was "so fortunate as to discover a new method for the treatment of head wounds," a dis covery that enabled him to cure a vastly greater percentage of cases than before. , t-or four weeks after the fail of Przemysl the Russian commander al lowed the Austrian physician to re main. Then in transports of about one hundred they were sent to various parts of Kitssia, many to Mheria, the surgeon and many others to Turkes tan, Unlike jiiany others, Dr Barany on his return has reported almost uni versally good treatment in captivity, treatment that included a sufficiency of decent food! liberty not too re stricted, snd pleasant professional re lations with Russian commanders and colleagues. Dr. Barany was given fairly ample opportunity to study, to practice, and to lecture on his spe ciality to Russian and captive Aus trian physicians. ' Export TeettaeeSLV.

DOESN'T LOOK FEASIBLE President of China Assured Support of Military Leaders (Corroapondenoe of The Aasoclated Frees.) Peking, July IS. Generals Feng Kuo-chang, Ni Shih-chung and Chang Hsun and many other south ern military leaders have telegraphed to President Li Yuan-hung assuring him of their support. He is very generally supported by the Chinese press in all parts of the republic, and there are indications that the south ern provinces will officially endorse his administration, although they are somewhat slow in doing so and have made demand for the removal of cer tain cabinet members and advisers before they fall in tine. . Strained financial conditions seem somewhat relieved. The new presi dent has consented to ; turn over $500,000 from his own personal sav ings to assist in resuming specie pay ment on the notes of the government banks. The quintuple group of 1 bankers who are holding $.'0,000,000 surplus of the salt monopoly for the Chinese government have also shown a willingness to turn this money into the treasury. : . Li Yuan-hung refused to go to the palace to take the official oath and was' sworn into office in his own home outside of the imperial city. The ceremony was of extreme simplicity and onlv hinh officials attending. Monarchist newspapers seem to ne joining with the republican organs in praising Li Yuan-hung. ... lhe Li Yuan-nung aamintstration is keeping ss far as possible ' away from the practices of an emperor.

"'; Disc na Trading Act -Washington, July 31. Minister Van Rlp pard of the Netherlands dlewuaaed with Act ing Secretary Polk lousy Ureal Britain's so called blacklist under Ike "trading ailk 111 -enemy act." New York, July 22. Bill Brown wants to promote a Jack Dillon and Sam Langford bout. The lean farm er of Garrison on the. Hudson is ready to offer the men $25,000 for their ser vices on Labor day. Bill proposes to house the bout in Durland's Riding academy, Sixty-sixth street and Cen tral Park, West. Brown said that he could seat 7,000 of the faithful in the big' arena if nec essary. He is convinced that a bout between the pair would draw a sub stantial gate. Langford has always been a magnet when pitted against a white man, for the simple reason that so few of them have ever stood chance with him. There is always a desire to see how his next victim will fare. Perhaps the greatest gate that Sam ever drew with a white box cr was on the occasion of the intend ed bout with Stanley Ketchel at the rairmont club. That was in the good old days of membership attendance. Billy had $40,000 in the till when the bout was suddenly called off, Gibson returned every dollar of the advance. A re. markable thing about that sale was the fact that Bill could seat only 2,500 people, which proves that the fans were willing to pay tor their tun in those days. There is a grave doubt if Dillon would ever consent to meet the dusky Bostonian. Not that Jack has ever picked some marks for himself, but the man who fights Langford must feel pretty sure ot himselt. It is a safe venture to talk of meeting Sam just now, especially as the bonocrush er will be doing the best he can with his fists in Buenos Aires for several weeks. But Dillon and Langford would be considerable rumpus at its very worst. Russian Financial Agent in Japan to Pay for Munitions (Correspondence of The Associated Pres.) Tokio, July 15!

XX EX-MAJORS IK v WESTERN 01 JOl RALPH DE PALMA. DARCY IS COMING TO THISJJOUNTRY Famous Australian Pug Due to Arrive in Frisco in a Few Days. . WILL TAKE ON GIBBONS New York, July 22. If reports prove true, the ;end of the present year is lfkely to see the undisputed holder of the 'middleweight championship. Les Darcy, it is said, is on his way to this country, and is due to arrive in San Francisco shortly. He will be taken in charge by Jack Kearns, the California manager, who made the acquaintance of the sensational Aus tralian middleweight while in the lat ter's country with Billy Murray. rred Dyer, the welterweight boxer. who was also a visitor to the Antip odes some time ago, says ne is in receipt of a letter, which was written about two months ago, in which it is stated that a week later the Austral' ian fighting man would sail for Amer ica. He was booked to sail on the steamship Sonoma, and that upon his arrival upon the coast he would lose no time, but come right on to New York and endeavor to close a match with Mike Gibbons, or any other man who has pretensions to the middle weight championship. But only the presence of Darcy will remove the doubt in the minds of many about the reported visit, since the English law is so strict about letting able-bodied men leave their country in these war davs. For manv months wires have been pulled to get tnc Australian cnampion to visit this country. . Now and then he was re ported to have asked for a young fortune for his appearance here, but that was not the barrier. Many pro moters expressed a wil ineness tn pay Darcy well for his services, but ceased negotiations when they found tuc Australian laws so severe. it Darcy is really coming, it is on no wild goose chase. Jack Kearns has been talking very widely about be ing the man who would direct the affairs of Darcy here, and no doubt ne has closed several deals for the lighter s services. Darcy would be a welrnmi- nrldi. tion to the middleweight ranks in this country, and he would be in great de mand during the summer months, when spacious outdoor arenas are in swing. A little bout between him and Gibbons, or with George Chip, would be an attraction that would match up nicely with the one that is com ing between Frank Moran and Jack Havana is Slow in Memorial to Maine (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Havana. June 21. Attention i again being called to the long-contin- ueu neglect ot tne Cuban government to proceed with the erection of the memorial of the Maine. Many months ago the two ten-inch guns, the tur ret plates, the anchor chain and a quantity of shells from the battle ship were removed from the rubbish dock where thev had lain for four years and were piled in a heap in a rough vacant space on the outskirts of tnc city proper. it was announced that the memorial, of which these relics were to form a part, was to be erected on that site. Later the secretary of public works decided that the site was unsuitable, but no other one appears to have been selected or to be contemplated. 1 he Havana 1'ost suggests edito rially that, as Cuba appears to be in different to the raising of the memo rial, the best disposition that can be made of the relics is to carry them out to sea and reverently bury them in the waters of the gulf at the spot where the Maine ended its last voy age." . Portuguese Ships Are Showing Great Activity (t'ltrrpppojidrnci :f The Associated Prees.) Lisbon, June 21. There has been great activity with regard to the Por tiiRuese navy and its arsenals during the last three months since the state of war was declared in this country Besides the repaired ; vessels, five shins, two of which were German have been fully equipped and armed Str'eiiu.ous efforts are being made to ohtam crews lor other ships thirty Six at Lisbon and sixty-seven in all including those in the colonies and isl ands. Sweepers and dozens of patrols have been annexed to the naval dm sion and these ad well as two de stroyers and two torpedo boats are constantly doing coasl service. The sweepers have tislied up all the mines spread by the Germans, which caused so many disasters near the bar. ... The defense of the port of Lisbon is well organized and divided into various sections, composed of batter ies, semaphores. 1i!ots. etc.. the whole forming a zone called here "the field of war." Strict orders forbid the en trance of any ships after dark and at any time without an "initialed" pilot. When a big league player slows up and is released from the select circle, .t's a case of "back to the bush" nine limes out of ten. It is the natural de sire of the average ball player to re main in the game as long as possible, so when his days ill the big yard are over he is pretty certain to seek a job either as player or manager in one of the minor leagues. It is the managerial booth, however, that is most sought after by the ex-big leaguer. That the old star pastimers in the major leagues usually make good at piloting clubs in the minor organiza tions is evidenced by the large num ber engaged this season to manage clubs in the class AA, A and B leagues. The International league is loaded from one end of the circuit to the other with team managers gathered from the big tent. Fred Tenney holds forth at Newark. Dave Shean at Prov idence, Jack.

Co-Operative Buying increasing in Pans (Correspondenee of The Aasoclated Prees.) Paris, June 21. Co-operative buy ing by associations of consumers are fast developing from the present food situation in France. They are likely to assume such proportions ss to wor ry tne dealers, who have profited from the state of war to exact war orofits on provisions that have been so abun dant as to justify normal prices. n wen-Known actress, a woman lawyer and an authoress of renown rorai one ot tne co-operatives, as they are called at the central markets. Three times a week they get out with their market baskets ear v enough to get to the "Halles" for the 7 o'clock sales and by combining their require ments get nearly everything they need tor tne tapie at wholesale prices. Provisions bought at the central markets are not delivered at domiciles by the seller, which has always been an obstacle to individual marketing here; the money saved was no more and often less than the price of a cab to carry the, purchases home. The co-operative system removes this ob stacle; the same cab delivers baskets of provisions to three or four farm. lies, leaving a good margin of profit on tnc uay s marxeting. . - BrcaeM MoBftarloe, Philip la an amateur artlat who raves about nature.

' , . vhm t r.-:.- .Or'?' NEW YOEKER WANTS GO New York, July 22. That long pend ing match between jess wuiara, champion heavyweight of the world, and Fred Fulton may materialize after all. It has been talked of for some time, although the "Rochester Giant's" performance against Dan (Porky) Flynn in New Orleans and. his more recent exhibition against AI Reich here put .somewhat of a crimp in it. Despite the unsatisfactory showing of Fulton in his "try-out" matches, considerable competition for the bout has developed. At least two groups of promoters are after it. It will go to the highest bidder. Foremost in. the field are J. A. Connolly and H. A. Sherman. These gentlemen are equal partners in the promotion of bouts in the middle west. They re cently bought and amalgamated at a cash outlay of $50,000, the boxing clubs now in operation in the Twin Cities ot at. Paul and Minneapolis. Connolly and Sherman are offering' Willard a flat guarantee of $40,000 to box Fulton in the Twin City Motor- arowe on September i. i hey can se cure Fulton on any terms they care to name, as Mike Collins, the latter's manager, has verbally pledged him self to box the champion for nothing, if necessary. Neither Connolly nor Sherman have heretofore been identi fied with the promotion of boxing bouts. Their interest in the sport seems to be that of ordinary "fans." Possessing the capital and being shrewd business men they foresaw a boom in boxing in the middle west, and consequently bought the St. Paul and Minneapolis clubs. lhe Twin City Motordrome, in which they propose to stage the championship match If they get it, is big enough to permit of a seating capacity of at least 20,000. That Connolly and Sherman are sincere in their offer is indicated by their willingness to post at once the sum of $5,000 to Willard's credit to bind the match. Thev are also pre pared to post the balance of the $40, 000 purse in any bank he cares to name. While the Sells-Floto c reus to which Willard is attached was showing in Grafton, 'W. Va., a few days ago Connolly obtained Willard's consent to box for him. Tom O Rourke. the local oromntrr and manager of boxers, is also after the match.. He states that he in ent only authorized by those backing him to give wuiara qw,uuu, out that he is also willing to grant him the pri vilege of taking a percentage of the gate receipts. It is presumed that O'Rourke, if he is successful in get ting the signature of the. two men on the same scrap of paper, will stage the bout at Sheepshead Bay Motor-; drome. , . , , .. .. Japan to Lay Keel Of Greatest War tlraft in the World (Correspondence of The Associated Proas.) Tokio, July 4. It is rennrtcrl that guns of fifteen-inch caliber may be mounted on a superdreadnaught which nas oeen ordered by the navy depart ment and will be laid down in the Japanese naval yard at Kure. This ship was authorized at the last session of the Diet, and it wil! be t!ie 'argest uaiticsiup in tnc Japanese navy, -it will be called the Nagato after one of the provinces in southern Japan. Although the official figures have not been announced, it is said the warship will have a displacement of 32,000 tons and a speed of twenty-four knots. The displacement exceeds by 1,400 tons that of the dreadnaught Yamashiro which was launched at Yo kosuka last November. The Yama shiro is about the same size as the United States superdreadnaught Pennsylvania. If the announced figures prove ex act, the Nagato will be faster than the Yamashiro by two knots and faster than the Pennsylvania by three knots, although it could be outdis tanced by the Queen Elizabeth. A feature of the proposed ship will be improved equipment for defense against torpedoes. The question of main armament seems not. yet decided. It is under stood that the navy favors 15-inch guns, but guns of this size have never been made in Japan, and it is likely that they would nave to be imported from England. It is doubtful if Eng land could turn them out during the war. The department has likewise ar ranged for the construction of two second-class cruisers, each of 3.500 tons, to be called Tenryu and Tatsjita. One will be laid down at Kokosuka and the other at Saseho. A large type destroyer of 1,100 tons will be built at Maizuru. The latest addition to the Japanese navy is a new and powerful subma rine boat which was built in France and which recently arrived at the Kure naval station. Submerged, the boat can reach a speed of over eighteen knots. Its displacement is 600 tons, and it is the largest sub marine in the Japanese navy. The order, placed with the French navy yard in 1914, called for two boats of the same type and dimensions but one of them was sold to r ranee at the outbreak of the war in com pliance with the special request of the French navy. The submarine was brought here on board a French steamer. - Husband Too Attrnotlvo. Becauss she regarded her husband as toe attractive to other women, Mrs. I P. Oath right of Sherman.
