The grand jury filed its report and was discharged Friday. The report was as follows: "We, the grand jury for the Sep tember term, 1915, of criminal court for Guilford county, North Carolina, beg leave to submit to this court the following as report of our actions and proceedings: "We passed on 42 bills, finding 39 of them true bills and three not true bills.

The importanc of this gain lies in the ract that every yard of ground taken in this region weakens the Ger man position around Verdun, from which the Germans might be com pelled to retire should the French succeed in making any further ad vance.

The appeal, which is taken by Brushaber from a decision of the Fed eral' cOiirt for the southern district of New York, is one of a group of cases to be argued before the ; Su preme court to test the income .tax law.. It seeks to enjoin "the railroad , from complying with the provision of the act. Although five points are raised against the validity of the law, prin cipal stress Is laid on the charge that it is unjustly discriminatory between individuals and corporations; that it aims at seizure of property without due process of law and that without constitutional authority it aims at retroactive operation in requiripg the payment of the tax on incomes de rived prior to October 3, 1913, the date when the act went into effect.
