I'VE must stamp on this thing even
IL dictatorship has to be set UP to

tion of anarchy and vendetta. II is
quite certain that II II is needed a
method OF dictatorship would be en-
poyed. and we think there will be no
need for other measures that will be

Another passage runs:
Those who do not want coalition or
chaos must ask themselves II they want
a dictatorship, Never since Cromwell
has the contingency of dictatorship
been so distinctly within the range of
practical politics, The complete realiza-

Some months ago Wnen the state OF
the Treasury began to attract attention
Secretary McAdoo announced that a
yield of approximately 100000 600 from
the corporation ard income taxes would
save the situation AT the end OF the year.
He explained that the revenues had been
hard hit because of the war, but eN-
pressed confidence that the returns from
the income and corporation taxes would
restore the Treasury to normal con-
ditions.
In the meantime customs receipts have
been dropping and there is only com.
paratively small increase on account of
Internal revenue despite the emergency
war revenue act. \ few months ago II
was privately estimated that the income
and corporation taxes would yield Sso,-
100000 instead of the original estimate
OF 500, ,OOO, 900 fixed by Secretary Me
Adoo. Now some Treasury officials say
the Government will be lucky II 1t gets
$50, 900. 900 from this source, and there
are other officials who fear the yield VIII

So far as the present is concerned the
Administration Is not particularly wor-
ried II the worst comes to the worst

Treasury authorities have already givcr

that this advice Is favorable to an issue

In figuring on Treasury conditions tho
authorities are greatly worried over tn,

 There is considerable specula- ton in the legislature as to the outcome of the McGann bill proyid- ing for the election, ty the people, of the territorial treasurer and the Aldrich fight to repeal the act un- der which uniform law commission CTS are appointed. The McGann bill provides that the treasurer shall be elected for a two yea term, while the governors appoint ment is for four years. from Janu- ary 1, 1915 to January 1, 1919.
 The Aldrich campaign to do dwav with the uniform law com mission is for the purpose of rs' trenchment, the Nome solon haS stated. Although no salary is paid the commissioners, travelling eN- penses are paid by the territory.

 Here I am in Q cellar in charge of the same place had before The general complimented us on the amount of work we had done whilst occupying the position. We have bricked all the bottoms of the trenches, taking material from the ruins of houses behind us, and made various parapets bullet proof and clean. In addition to which we supply the engines with a party of eight men to pump water from a communication trench from lo:5O a. m. to p. m. Tried to uaIe to take my captains servant along to work in the trenches, as l wanted to get q dig in at the man badly, only unfortunately, the captain spotted him coming on parade be- fore We started. We've lost scy- eral men through sickness, and wau ed another man today to make us up to forty, and therefore tried it on the captains servant.
 We had an interesting turn yes terday working behind our barri- cade. The Germans were smelling some houses about two hundred yards in front of us. First we hoard the shell coming nearer and nearer and the impulse to duck be came very strong. Then we SAW some bricks fly, or a flash and some smoke, or a lot of tiles go up in tho air, and then just as we ducked we heard the explosion of the shell in front and the whirr of pieces flying over us. We heard the report of course quite time after the explosion, but it don't pay to look up too soon after the report as heavy pieces come later often, and although not really hard, quite hard enough to crush your skull.
 This morning we could hear the trench being attacked or attack ing and this evening it happened again. However, we seem just here to be far superior to the Ger mans in artillery and in ammuni- tion. Notice lately, though, we have had much smaller rations of potatoes and vegetables and jam. Expect the reason is that we have so many more men to feed. How ever, we are eating white bread and know quite well that the Germans haven. any white bread in their trenches. If they don't hurry ur and gain a great victory over the Russians now, We shall reduce the Turks, and then Russia can strengthen her line a lot. Do not believe the Turks will hold out long, once we start shelling Constan tlnoplo. I do think 1t neat the way the French took the Dacia. We all hope that England will stay firm now, and not allow a particle of food or material to enter Ger many.
 l. will be fine to get into a lit tie more hilly country, where it is bit drier. We shall soon be numeri- cally superior on this line, and the Germans will have to shorten their inc somewhere. My men seem in very good spirits, and they work very

Between 9 and D. m. we start cd to lombard the German lines and had batteries of all sizes talk ing part. During the bOmbardment there was quite lot of firing uu our left which 1 think was due to our knocking some of the Ger man trenches to bits and firing on the men who retired.
