The office foive cr the collector of

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.
Department's Ruling.
Tlie ruling- of the treasury department
ruling:

not shipped to them nor held in their
possession before being sol !, but
purchased from the mills, they being"
liable for all sales an ! doing their
own billing, making settlement with
the mills at the end of the month, retaining
a stipulated commission, are
held to be liable to the tax as commer
cial brokers."
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.

Devotion to Duty Shown by
I Queen Elizabeth.?Loyalty, *Con a
? t * /? xr i n -
lancy ana xicroisni oi mng .vincrt.
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.

The United States ha? now cxperi1
enccd the worst'effects of the war in
Europe, and from this time onward
business men should go ahead with
1 renewed confidence, according to John
W. Craddock, of Lynchburg, Va.

Belgians May Attack.
i There is imminent danger that BelI
gians driven desperate by hunger, will
attack the Germans in somedistricts
in an efTort to obtain food, according
to a report received last Saturday, by

a dispatch last week from Geneva, |
via Paris has the fo]!owir g lr> say in j
relation to a daring- raid, from the air j
which resulted in damage to a new !
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 ?

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

jnfit persons, the health of a prosmotive
husband or wiffe will exert
i more and more powerful' influence
ind" that love will move within a nar;owcr
range and reason iit a wider:"'
It will be observed that Mr. Mabon
loos not exclude love ftorn his highly
educated, sensitive and responsibility
icknowledging society. 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.
