rax Collectors Are
Busy In Germany
IVomfn Urge Patrotism and En
rourage Efforts of Present
Government.
Berlin,—Germany's tax collectors
worked today on orders to get what
was coming to the government and
pay no attention to the excuses
of taxpayers in arrears.
The orders, set forth in a govern
ment decree, directed collectors to
proceed ruthlessly and to make al
lowances for the hard times In only
the most exceptional cases.
The decree established heavy pen
alties for citizens who are back In
their taxes or have made faulty
declarations. Recently there has
been an alarming reduction In tax
collections. The penalties become ef
fective July 31 against all those still
shy on their Income taxas.
The government also ordered all
persons living in Germany, as well
as all incorporated companies, to
offer whatever foreign currencies or
credits they may have to the
Relehsbank or allied Institutions be
fore July 29, providing their hold
ings approximate $5,000.
The Relehsbank Is to decide
whether to take over such funds.
Persons owning less than $5,000 will
be called on later, the decree said.
Eight leading women's societies,
including Protestant, Catholic and
Jewish organizations and the Wo
men's Red Cross, issued a joint man
ifesto exhorting all German women
to do their part to uphold peace
and stability.
The manifesto called on them to
refrain from "faint-hearted selfish
ness.'' It also urged revision of re
parations payments.

mum charge on a parcel measur
ing more than 84 inches but not

and girth combined is the same

for a ten-pound parcel. On par
cels weighing ten pounds or more,
which measure more than 84 Inches
but not more than 100 inches in
length and girth combined, the
regular zone pound rates apply, it
is pointed out.
