Duncan ('linen Hey ward, collector Ci internal revenue, said yesterday that the attention of wholesale mer< ants in the 8'ate should be directed to a recent ruling of the treasury department as to the nam re of the business which would make a man come undo* the head of a commercial broker liable to a tax under the war revenue act.

Practically all of the wholesalers in South Caroling are what are known as "drop shipments." These sales are made by salesmen of the manufacturers to retail merchants, then taken to the wholesalers, approved by them and shipped direct to retailers, but charged to wholesalers who make their own billings at standard prices to retailers. The wholesalers remit to the manufacturers for the goods at joVxjers' prices. / \Vholesalers who make "drop shipments" of this character come clearly within the definition of commercial brokers and are liable to the tax of $20 a year on this class of dealers. They should make their returns beNovember 20 on form 11A to the collector of internal revenue. If they find it impossible to make the return in the prescribed fashion then they should should write to Vie collector before November 20, disclosing their fndentity and sending a check for two thirds of $20 in payment of the war revenue tax on commercial brokers for eight months. Fon'p Inconvenience. South Carolinians liable to the special revenue tax r.eccsitated by the war in Europe are put to some inconvenience at present because stamps are for sale only at the office of the collector of internal revenue in Columbia. Mr. Hoy ward hopes to remedy this condition at an early date by putting stamps on sale in cities and towns in several parts of the State. The revenue tax law authorizes collectors of internal revenue to furnish stamps for sale to banks that are United States depositories and to postmasters. Hanks and Postmasters are required to give bond for the value of the stamps sent to thorn for sale. They are allowed discounts of 1 per cent, on orders amounting to $100 or more. Mr. Hey ward said yesterday that the revenue act made no provisions for the establishment of offices for the sale of stamps in charge of deputy collectors or clerks and that it was hardly probable that such offices would bo opened. Mr. Hey ward hopes that banks will order stamps and sell them to their customers as an accommodation, and they did during the Spanish-American war. Sale Under Mortgage.

King Albert of Belgium and his devoted consort are now leading a warlike existence in the one little corner of their devasted kingdom which is still free fi\)m the invading Germans. The modesty, resourcefulness and indefatigable devotion to duty displayed by Queen Elizabeth, and the loyalty, constancy, and heroism of King Albert have, ever since the beginning of the war, proved the greatest comfort and consolation to their people. The royal example has stimplated their subjects to the heroic efforts which have been made throughout the land during their time of trouble, and has inspired them with confidence in the future. King Albert and his Queen, who so often found themselves obliged to retreat before the advancing enemy, always waited to the last moment hefore following their own army. Only on one occasion did Queen Elizabeth leave her husband's side, that was when her majesty removed her children to England out of reach of the bombs of the Zeppelin, which in Ant- ' wcrp made so many attempts to wreck 1 the royal residence. She had hardly settled her family in England when King Albert telegraphed for her to return to Antwerp. "Why ask her \fajesty to return?" ' ventured to ask M. Ingelbeck, private 1 secretary to King: Albert; "the position, I fear, has not at all improved." "That is just my reason," replied ^ the king of the Belgians, "for the queen made me promise to recall her ^ if the situation became grave." Two days later the queen was back j in Antwerp, and only left when the king turned his back upon the doom- . ed city. Later, at Ostend, when the ( king was obliged to leave with his , general staff, Queen Elizabeth remain ed behind, and could not be persuaded , to go until she had satisfied herself that all the wounded had been removed. It was only an hour after her de- , parture that the advance guard of the ( Germans entered the town. ] Since then the Belgian sovereigns have lived in a modest abode, but still , 4 on their beloved territory. This must j help to cheer and strengthen them. , for at least they have not been oblig- 1 ed to exile themselves. A few days ago, early in the morn- j ing, when the sun had barely risen,; a bell was ringing summoning the) faithful to prayer in the village; church. The dcor of the village op ened and onto the gravel path stopped! a tall, slender man, in the undress uniform of a Belgian general. He was followed by a lady, dressed in a tail- j orinade blue serge coat and skirt, with a white color; on her head was a neat and perfectly plain little hat, with a piece of white ribbon upon it. It was the king and queen. They were followed by an oflicer, who walked at a respectiful pace an so, without further escort, they proceeded to the church. They walked slowly on, without speaking to each other. Their path led them across the sand dunes, which were deserted, and so they arrived at the little house of prayer unnoticed. At this moment an aeroplane flow overhead, it was not very high up. Tho king, who until then, had been walking with his eyes looking upon the ground, raised his head. He took from his poekel a pair of field-glasses and gazed up into the air. Ho - soon recognized to what nationality it belonged, for he turned to the queen, and reassuring her majesty, remarked; "That is a French machine; that's well." For a moment or two they stood and Will 'hod thf> nvinfnv ing towards the enemy's linos, then the king pushod the church door gont, ly open, and thoy both entered. I'. S. Rden Worst.

Zeppelin airship the Germans had ready for launching: Details of the aeroplane raid on Friedrichshafcn have boon received i here from Romanshom, a Swiss town \ 11 miles from Constance. From this' account it appears that two French- j and two English aviators, the former! mounted on monoplanes, and the lat- i ter on biplanes, arrived over Fried-J richafen at one o'clock on Sunday afternoon, flying at great speed and j keeping at a gr.at height. Suddenly two of the machines! planed down to about 400 yards above the city and, amidst a hail of shells, j and bullets from six quick firers worked bv the men of the Pa\ avian regiment, circled about for hal" an' hour during wliich they threw about iO bombs in the vicinity of tine Zeppelin shed. One of these bombs struck home, destroying- part of the shed and some machinery therein. It is reported that one of the latest Zeppelins,) which was rcaly to be launched ,was Diidly damaged, but the Germans deny this. The thousand or more workmen employed about the place were at dinner when the raid occurred or the loss of life would have been greater than it was. One house was destroyed by the bombs and several persons were j killed, including two soldiers. The gun fire of the German soldiers Drought one of the aviators to earth with his machine. He proved to be a British naval office. The other three machines disappeared, but one of them, supposed to be manned by the Dther Englishman, is reported to have fallen into the lake and the aviator Irowned. The other report says the second machine was forced to land in Wurtenberg. In any event, only two machines were seen later flying to- t ward Belfort, which is 125 miles in a ^ lircct line from the Zeppelin estab- ( lishment. & The raid is said to have caused much } anxiety in Friedriehshafen. The number of quick firors has been doubled and all foreigners, it is said, have ( been expelled as it is believed that!, spies gave the information that an- j other Zeppelin hud been completed, j The lake is being searched for the , aviator who has not been accounted ? for. | , I 1 The British official report or. the 1 air raid at Friedrichshafon as announced in the house cf commons yesterday by Winston Spencer Churchhill first lord of the admiralty, declared that only three aeroplanes, all manned by Englishmen, took part in the rail. Mr. Churchill announced that one of the aeroplanes was brought down by German gun fire and that the naval air service, was wounded and was taken to a hospital near. The other machines, with their aviators, returned safely to French territory, he said. Improving the Breed by Law That the enforcement through legal agencies of the principles of eugenics admirable as they arc, belongs to a future ideal state of society, and not to the imperfect present is the opinion of such authorities as Dr. William Mabon, superintendent of the Manhat tan state hospital and chairman of the M o d i o - P s v eh ol o g i ca 1 association's com mittee which has studied the subject with scientific care, and certainly without prejudice against any practical scheme for race improvement. The j-i.~ - i 1/m lun/uun ill l III' C W 1111' 11 Cl (1 WCrf* fill})" ported by the society at its meeting, when resolutions advocating "clean billls of health" and "evidence of normal mind" in candidates for marriage licenses were emphatically rejected by it. Like most reformers, the eugenists move too fast. They would remake a j world over night, and change the habits of a whole race by writing a law on the statute books. Not only would the course which they advocate fail to accomplish the purpose they desire, it would inevitably bring in its train unnecessary suffering and lawlesssncss. Hut this is not to say that their crusade will accomplish no good. On the contrary, as Dr. Mabon says: "1 do think that, as education of the people continues, and the lay public becomes more and more familiar with the ronsccjuer.co cf the marriage of MM?

He restricts "ts field somewhat by extending the Province of reason. Nor is this a ne re dream. Most persons have enow led.go of cases in which strong passions have been curbed and the natural desires of those possessed by Ihom restrained through the opera-' lion of a realization of physical or mental unfitness for their fulfillment. One of Dr. Doyle's stories is based on an incident of this nature, and we presume that scarcely a medical man on the roster is unacquainted with cases of the kind. What the Medico-Psychological association has done is to acknowledge the impotoncy of law to bring about a condition that can be attained only through education. If other societies would recoginze, as it does, that all progress is not measured by statutory enactments, a good many mischievous laws would soon cease to cumber the books: and were the money expended in ineffectual efforts to enforce them devoted to the cause of education the advent of ideal conditions might be brought appreciably closer.
