SINGER COMING HOME
TO O0DGEHEAVY TAX
i LONDON.—Adam N. Singer, of
Berkshire, son of the American in
ventor of sewing machines, has com
plained to the royal commission on
income tax that his income derived
from property in the United States
is so depreciated by double taxes—
one in America and one in Great
Britain—that he cannot continue to
reside in this country. Describing
his situation and that of his brother,
Washington M. G. Singer, he said
their incomes were reduced to about
29 to 32 percent of what they would
have been if untaxed. America, he
said, takes 34 to 39 percent, and
the British inland revenue takes
about one-half of what is left after
the American tax is deducted.
"By going to live in America we
should double the income we actu
ally receive,” said Adam N. Singer.
“One of our brothers has alread>
done this.”

LONDON.—"Hiere is more bet
ting than ever on horse racing
throughout England, according to
one of the leading London book
making firms, as though every one
was trying to make up for the war
time period when racing as well as
betting was suspended.
“It is not only that more t-eople
are betting,” said the head of the
concern, "but they are wagering
larger sums. The small man who
used to have his ‘tanner’ on a race
now risks his shilling or half crown,
while the clubman who formerly
was content to wager a sovereign
now bets a fiver.
‘‘I have been in business for S')
years, and I have never made such
books as this year over the Derby
and other classics.
“Another point about present-day
betting,” continued the bookmaker,
“is the number of women who back
horses. Fifteen years ago I don’t
think we had a doten women cus
tomers. Now we have hundreds. I
don’t know w-here they get their
information, but some of the big
gest checks we have drawn this year
have been for women.
“They nearly always pay. too,
when they lose. Of course, we get
an occasional defaulter, as we do
among our men customers. But take
them all around they are just as
sporting over the business as any
of the men we have on our books.”

OF FIRST DAYS
OF WORLD WAR
_
NEW YORK.—Lieutenant-General
Baron Jacques, who, according- to
his own assertion, occupied the
“front seat in the front row” when
the Germans opened the great inter
national “show” in 1914, is the
most striking member of the suite,
which is accompanying King Albert
of Belgium on his visit in the United
States. Tall, straight as an arrow.
General Jaques looks like the fight- j
ing man he is and has been from
boyhood, for he is one of the pro- i
fessiona! soldiers upon whom Bel- i
gium relied when it made the great
decision which held up the German i
army until French and British sol-,
diers could get into action.
General Jaques was in command
of the Twelfth regiment, one of the
crack military organizations of Bel
gium. and was stationed at Liege.'
where General Leman was in com
mand.
“I had never been impressed by
the bombast of the German soldiery,
and I had full confidence in my
own men.” said the general, as he
sat in his plainly-furnished cabin on
board the George Washington on
the voyage to New York and talked
of the early days of the war.
“We first came in contact with
the Germans on the bridge at Vise,
and after a sharp fight drove them
back, capturing the flag of the 97t'n
Brandenburg regiment.
“That fight aroused the people,
and immediately we had more than
a thousand civilian volunteers, dig
ging trenches and helping in every
way possible. General Leman issued
a proclamation in which he said:
‘Big Germany' has invaded our coun
try, imposing an ultimatum which
coastituics an outrage. Little Bel
gium proudly accepts the challenge.
The Belgian army will do its duty.
The people of Liege only ask to be
allowed to do theirs’."
During the discouraging days
which followed, when the Belgian
army was compelled to retire from
place to place until it at last had
to give up Antwerp and begin its
slow retreat along the coast. Gen
eral Jaques never doubted the final
outcome, and encouraged his men
by pointing out that when they
reached the Yser river the backward
movement would end. And so it
did.
“My regiment had orders to hold
Dixmude till death and we did.

Not until the high command decided
to evacuate the town did we leave s
our places,” said the general. t
"The war is over. But the Ger-; c
man still have arras and men. It i? *
up to the Allies to see that they do
not use them again. I look upon ^
the German as a barbarian who still
has in his heart the desire to con
quer, because he is trained to it j
. •
from the cradle. This -nr was not
a war entirely of the kaiser's mak
ing. It was a war of the whole
people, a war for loot. They be- ,
lieved they would be able to get to ,
Paris in six weeks, and the booty
they would take would amply com
pensate for the expense of military : i
operations.” jc
General Jaques has had an ad
venturous career. As a young of
ficer he went out to the Congo, and
in the early nineties began his mem
orable fight against the Arab slave
traders. On one occasion, when he
and his natives were hard pressed
by a large body of Arab slave trad
ers, he killed 18 of them with his
own rifle. His administrative work
in the Congo also was of a high
order. He has been decorated 17
times, and wears the highest honors
his country’ can give, while other
countries have been only a little less
generous in recognizing his ability
and valor.
