HOW SUBMARINES NOW
TRY TO DECEIVE CHASERS
BY "OIL CAMOUFLAGE"
London, July 20 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press) Tricky
German U-boat commanders have con
ceived new plan designed to deceive
crews of the allied submarine desroy-
ers in the game of hide and seek in
European waters. When a depth
bomb is discharged and does not crip
ple or destroy the German under-sea
boat, as some times happens, a quant
ity ot oil is released by some device
of the submersible and quickly rises
to the water's surface.
The hope of the German U-boat
captain is that the commander of the
destroyer will see the oil, believe that
the submarine has been wrecked and
drop no more depth charges. Mean
time, the German is endeavoring to
escape.
American and British commanders
of destroyers and submarine charsers
discovered the scheme of the Germans
some time ago and since then have
been dropping depth bombs in great
er numbers than previously, using
the oil as a guide to the general loca
tion of their target.
"Oil camouflage" the American and
British navy men call this latest Ger
man submarine trick.

Home Service Branch
Tells How It Works
Co-operation 01 People Of Maui Urged
In Behalf Of Families Of Men Call
ed Into Service Is Branch Of
The American Red Cross
The following letter was sent out
this week to business fitms and in
dividuals on Maui for the purposes of
explaining the purposes of the recent
ly organized Home Service branch of
the lied Cross on Maui:
The Homo Service, a branch of the
American Red Cross, Civilian Relief,
has been established on Maui, with
Mrs. II. A. Baldwin, ns executive sec
retary.
The following Case Workers in the
various districts have been appoint
ed:
Mrs. AV. O. Aiken, Makawao; Mrs.
S. A. Baldwin, Piiia-Koahua; Mrs. J.
J. Walsh, Kahului-Pimnene: Mrs. W.
S. Nicoll, Ilnmnkuapoko; Mrs. O. J.
Whitehead, Wailuku: Miss E. Chal
mers, liana; Ur. W. D. Baldwin, Hat-ku-Kula;
V. T. Fleming, Lahaina;
Mrs. C. A. MacDonald, Lahaina; and
Chas. Puck, Wailuku.
A consultation committee consists
of the following:
H. A. Baldwin, S. E. Kalama, Judge
L. L. Burr, Mrs. F. F. Baldwin, A. F.
Tavares, W. D. Baldwin, Mrs. W. J.
Cooper, It. B. Penhallow, F. F. Bald
win, A. W. Collins, and E. E. Pleasant.
The American Red Cross has un
dertaken this work at the request of
the U. S. government, in order to
care for such families as may be in
need of assistance, financial or other
wise. The case workers will visit the fam
ilies of enlisted men, by request, and
endeavor to become acquainted with
them and their troubles, if they have
any, in a friendly way.
When .families are found to be in
financial difficulties prior to receipt
of government allotments and allow
ances, the case workers, after consul
tation, are authorized to make ad
vancements in limited amounts, and
to guarantee payment for sanctioned
supplies.
It is expected that after they re
ceive their money from the govern
ment, these families will reimburse
the Red Cross for amounts advanced
and will themselves pay supply bills
incurred; but if they cannot be in
duced to do so, the Home Service will
make good its guarantee, if requested
to do so.
It is unfortunate that no family al
lowances will be received here in the
territory for two or three months af
ter a man's enlistment, when, however
they will come monthly direct from
Washington, with hack pay from the
time of enlistment, and the wives or
.families will be well supplied with
funds.
The Home Service desires your co
operation in this important work, and
asks that you will notify the office at
Kahului, or a case worker, of any
family or families that you think
should be visited, for the purpose of
advising them regardng their home
welfare, or rendering them assistance
in any form.
AMERICAN AND ENGLISH
INCOME TAXES
In comparison with the tax leviled
in England on incomes our own in
come taxes are moderate, indeed.
In England the tax on incomes of
$1000 is 4 per cent, in America
nothing.
In England the tax on incomes of
$1500 is 6 per cent; in America
nothing for married men or heads of
families, and 2 per cent on $500 for
an unmarried man. "
In England the tax on an income of
$2000 is 77g per cent; in America
nothing for a married man or head of
a family, and 2 per cent on $1000 for
unmarried men.
The Englsh income tax rate also
increases more rapidly with the
growth of the income than ours, a
$3000 income being taxed 14 per cent,
$5000 16 per cent, $10,000 20 per cent,
and $15,000 25 per cent, whle our cor
responding taxes for married men
are respectively two-thirds of 1 per
cent, 1V& per cent, 3 per cent and
5 per cent, and only slightly more for
the unmarried, due to the smaller
amount exempted, the rate being the
