Worn voyagers, who watch for land
Across the endless wastes of sea,
Who gaze before and ON each hand.
Why look We not to what ys fee?

Not always rise before the Prov.
Though forward, naught but clouds ar

Behind. they may be breaking now.
What though we may not turn again
To shores of childhood that We leave

The port from which We first put forth
Is our hearts home Is our lifes best.

CONTEMPT INQUIRY ORDERED
House Committee to Investigate q
S. District Attorney Marshall.

Without opposition the House has
adopted a resolution for a special COM
mittee to consider contempt charges
against United States District Attor-
ney Marshall. at New York, which
grew out of the indictment there of
Representative Buchanan of Illinois.
Contempt proceedings. which, If ap-
proved would probably result in Mr..
Marshalrs being called before the bar
of the House for explanation, have
been considered by the judiciary com
mittee because of letters MIR. Marshall
wrote in connection with the Buchanan
case which were held to reflect on its
members. The special committee will
report not later than April IA on Mr..
Marsha1ls conduct, the Houses power
to punish and the proper procedure.
Majority Leader Kitchin proposed

INCOME TAX

Revenue Commissioner Osborn An.

Alien Owners of Bonds.

At the urgent solicitation of bank
ing interests, the application has been
suspended until May l of the regula-
ton requiring the payment of the in
come tax on the returns from bonds and
other securities owned by nonresident
aliens. Commissioner w II. Osborn of
the internal revenue service has an
nounced the postponement.
The original ruling, requiring the col
lection of the tax ct the source, made
following Il decision of the Supreme
Court that permitted this construction
of the income tax provisions of the
tariff act-was not issued until last
week. and was made effective as, of
April 1. The bankers presented the ar
gument, that seemed rational to the
federal authorities. that they had not
had time to adjust their accounts and
holdings to the new proposition. They
a sserted that on such short notice they
would be unable to comply with the

Long War Is Expected.

An utterly wrong impression Will pc
received by the reader if he assumes
that Bordeaux is down hearted or dis
couraged. Bordeaux is sad, of course.
There is not town or hamlet Of the
dozen nations involved in this struggle
that is not sick to its very heart or
war. But Bordeaux seems to be resign
ed to a struggle that may last 1 or
years. but in which France will be
victorious in the end. In Paris one
hears talk of the war being ended by
midsummer. Here they contemplate
almly the possibility that 1t may last
for two years or more. Some are talk
ing of five years more. The one thing
that one never hears suggested is that
France may be defeated.
Perhaps it is in consequence of this
conviction that victory is certain that
a somewhat milder attitude toward
the enemy than one finds elsewhere.
There is a strong admixture of Span
ish blood in the Bordelais. from which
the stranger is apt to argue unfor-
giving hatred On the contrary, one
finds a disposition to separate the in
dfvidual enemy from his government.
Thousands of German prisoners are
held near here in detention camps. A

| BORDEAUX, March 1S.-It is in Bor-
deaux that the newcomer to France
first comprehends what it means to a
country to be at war. Here is a city of
100000 people, in which there is no
laughter, and no lovemaking, and no
happy. idle noises. A city in which the
men who stroll past for the most part
wear bandages or hobble on crutches
or bear themselves jauntily under the
new shrapnel helmet, which is the
sign that it's wearer has been ordered
to the front. city in which women
are the motormen and sweep the
streets, and in which the men are old
or unfit. 1t is a busy city-busy with
the business of war-but 1t is an un-
cannily quiet city. OF a Sunday after
noon the Bordelais march past the chairs
of the sidewalk cafes in a tragic ST.
lence They seem almost unreal. 1t is
as though they were the ghosts of hap
piness.
What is it about Bordeaux that is
SO depressing?" the members of our
party,of four asked each other.
There Is No Lovemaking.
1t was not the wounded men, The
streets crawl with wounded men. But
so do the streets of other cities of this
stricken land. 1t was not alone the
silence. That is to be expected of a
Sunday afternoon, when the trucks
have ceased from battering at the cob
bles. 1t was not altogether the sad
ness. France grieves, but France
grieves in privacy. Her men and wom-
en- are dignified and reticent in mo-
ments of great emotion At last we
puzzled it out.
There is no lovemaking"
In happier times these Sunday streets
would have been filled with laughing
chatting, flirting. utterly happy and alb
sorbed young men and women. A
French crowd is usually a cheerful To-
quacious. lively. rather noisy gather
ing. The men and women are frankly
interested in each other. In Bordeaux
today the young girls seem not to go
upon the streets, in which there are no
young men. The men go about their
business quietly. OF fourteen women
who passed the Cafe de Bordeaux as
sat watching, eleven wore mourning.
At my side sat an elderly couple-a
father and mother. perhaps-gazing
straight before them, with never a
word to each other. Their silence was
eloquent of despair.

Amusements Curtailed.

This same logic has convinced the
Bordelais that the total suppression
of apnusements creates morbid and
unhealthy state of mind, and an eff
fort is therefore being made to re-
turn to something like a normal mode
of life 1t is true that few have been
able to force themselves to act upon
this conviction, but they are trying
manfully to do so. There has been
no dancing in Bordeaux since the be
ginning of the war. Not many pianos
have been opened since the first Boche
crossed the Belgian border. There is
no singing at social gatherings in pri-
vate homes. On the other hand, the
occasional concert is fairly well at

men. 1t is only their masters that we
hate. These men did not want the
war any more than We"
1t is true that this detached point
of view is impossible to those French
men who live nearer to the line of
war and who might conceive them
selves in danger in the event of a
successful break through by the Ger
mans. But that it is possible even to
the Frenchmen who live at Bordeaux
is testimonial to the coldly logical
quality of the French mind. Now that
the first hysteria of war has passed

the situation that made this war posi-
