ARMY SECRETS
CLOSELY YELLED
Sec. Baker Does Not Say Much in His
Annual Report, Which Will Be
of Avail to the Enemy.

Washington, Dec. l7.-Secretary Bak-
er's annual report for the war department
made public to-day constitutes only a
brief historical review of the year, and
so that it may be devoid of information
for the enemy shows no recommends
tions, no detailed information of the
transportation of the army to France or
any army plans for the future.
Secretary Baker does say, however,
that he does not favor universal mill
tary training as regular national duty.
"The department has not sought and
does not now seek legislation on the
subject he says, chiefly for the rea-
son that the formation of permanent
military policy will inevitably be affected
by the arrangement consequent upon the
termination of the present war. CIVILIZED
men must hope that the future has in
store relief from the burden of arma-
ment and the destruction and waste of
war
However vain that hope may appear
in the midst of the most devastating and
destructive war in the history of the
race, it persists-perhaps because we are
encouraged by the analogous substitution
of courts for force in the settlement of
private controversies; perhaps because
all the projections of nature teach us
that they are the product of processes
which have eliminated w&te and sub
stituted constructive for destructive
principles.
When permanent military. policy,
therefore, comes to be adopted, it will
doubtless be conceived in spirit which
will be adequate to preserve against
any possible attack those vital prin-
ciples of liberty upon which democratic
institutions are based, and yet be so re-
strained as in no event to foster the
growth of mere militarist ambitions or
to excite the apprehension of nations
with whom it is our first desire to live
in harmonious and just accord"
As to the expeditionary force in
France, Secretary Baker says it would
be unwise. to disclose details and there
fore contents himself with telling of the
sending of General Pershing, followed /!

raigned on Charge of Anti
Government Plot
JUDGE LANDS
ACCEPTS PLEAS
Spectators a nd Attorneys
Searched for Weapons on
Entering Court Room

Chicago, Dec. l7@Attorney George +
Vandervere of New York, appearing TO
majority of the LOG leaders of the In
dustrial Workers of the World who were
arraigned before Federal Judge Lands
| Saturday. was searched upon his en-
trance into the courtroom and revolver
taken from his hip pocket.
He was taken into custody immediate
" and was not released until he was
identified by local attorneys and had
given satisfactory explanation for the
possession of the revolver.
All the defendants pleaded not guilty
to the Indictment charging them with
violations of the criminal code and the
espionage act.
There were more than 100 secret serv-
ice men and local police stationed in and
about the courtroom and no one but the
defendants, their counsel and newspaper
men were permitted in the court.
Because of the number of defendants
and the seriousness of the charges, pre-
cautions were taken to prevent any at
tempt at a demonstration. Everyone en-
tering the courtroom was searched.
The majority of the defendants, in
Guiding Miss Elizabeth Curley Flynn of
New York, the only woman defendant,
were in the court ready to plead their
answer of not guilty when the personal
bailiff of Judge lands stopped Wander
we're. When the announcement was made
that revolver was taken from his peck
ct, the police closed in on their man, pre-
pared for any emergency.
The attorney was placed between
guards and questioned. He was identi-
fled by local attorneys. He said he just
arrived in Chicago from New York and
that it was his custom to carry pistol
whenever travelling. His train was late,
he said and, not wishing to delay the
court, he checked his bag at the station
and went to court. not stopping to go to
a hotel to change clothes and remove the
weapon.
After all of the defendants had pleaded
to the indictment, the court set the trial
for Jan. 3.

community seeking light ON the law, and
help in executing their returns. My own
and every other collection district in the
nation will be divided into districts, with
the county as the unit, and government
officer informed in the income tax as
signed to each district He will spend
hardly less than week in each county,
and in some counties a longer time, very
likely in the courthouse at the county
seat town. In cities where there are col
lector's branch offices, he will be there,
and in other cities possibly at the city
hall. My Office will in due time advise
postmasters and bankers and send out
notices to the newspapers stating when
the officer will be in each county. II will
be unnecessary for prospective taxpay-
ers to ask my Office for forms on which
TO make returns, The officer who visits
their county will have them.
1T may be stated as a matter of gen
eral information that net income is the
remainder after subtracting expenses
from gross income. Personal, family, or
living expense is not expense in the
of the law, the exemption being
allowed to cover such expenses
"The new exemptions of 81 900 and
$1,000 will add tens of thousands to the
number of income taxpayers in this dis
trct, inasmuch as practically every
farmer, merchant, tradesman, profession
al man and salary worker and a great
many wage workers win be required to
make return and pay tax.
The law makes it the duty of the tax
payer to seek out the collector Many
people assume that if an income tax
form is not sent, or a government officer
does not call, they are relieved from
making report. This is decidedly in err
ror. 1t is the other way round The
taxpayer has to go to the government
and if he doesn't within the time pre-
,cribed, he is violator of the law, and
he government will go to him with its

Handbook for DiSIOyaliStS.

Here are ten rules of conduct for
those how wish Germany to win the
war. According to the Independent a
careful observance of these rules will
enable a traitor to operate without
danger to himself:
1. When driven to make an un-
equivocal statement protest your 10y
atty and then change the subject.
2. Assert on every occasion that
wall Street made the war" Never
mind explaining when, how or why.
3. Get in all the sneers you can at
any professions Of ideal motives. If
you can find any flaw in our democ-
racy say that we are 'just as bad an
autocracy as Germany" Use the
word Hypocrisy at every opportun-
ity. Place the war in as sordid a
light as possible.
4. 1t is dangerous to denOunce the
United States directly. But rake his
tory from end to end for mud to throw
at the allies. Especially, twist the
lions tail
5. Profess great concern lest send
ing food to Europe will starve Amer
lea. Support every embargo move
ment that applies to the allied nations
and none that does not.
6. If the president asks for any eX-
tension Of power rave about dictator
ship" and the overthrow of the lib
critics for which our fathers" etc.
7. Spread rumors that the allies
are going to betray us or take advan-
tage Of us as soon as we are deepl.'
enough involved in the war
s. Accept CONSUMPTION in principle
but hamper it's working in every pos
sible way One good way is to start
scares about revolutions and internal
disorder as a preteXt for keeping a
large part of the army at home.
9. Demonstrate that the enemy is
unconQuerable and victory hopeless
Play the candid friend" and act as a
depressant
10. Be very Jealous to prevent cen
tangling alliances" and be much con-
cerned about the Monroe doctrine il
we mix ourselves in European quar-
rels." A permanent league of nations
would embarrass your junker friends
if they remain in power after the war
Germany can only hope to conquer
other nations if they act selfshly and
in isolation.

THE IRISH KAISER.

(Air "Wearin' Of the Green")
When the war is over, laddies, just
take a tip from me:
There1l be no German submarines a.
driving through the sea;
In the fatherland of Kaiser Bill, the
guy we're going to lick,
Well have brand-new kaiser, and
the same will be mick.
Well change the tune, die Wacht am
Rhine" into an Irish reel,
And make the Dutchmen dance it, too
if so inclined we feel.
The police force in Berlin will be all
micks from County Glare
When we put an Irish kaiser in the
palace over there.
Sure, in every parkway you'll find
sweet colleen;
In the fields of waving sauer kraut
We'll plant the shamrock green;
No liverWurst or sausage when the
Dutchman gets his suds,
But he'll get corned beef and cabbage
and good old Irish spuds.
The heathen's guns and gas bombs,
We'll throw them all away,
And make them use shiIIalahs. or
bricks OF Irish clay;
They'll wear no iron crosses, sure,
it's shamrock they will wear
When we put an Irish kaiser in the
palace over there.

EXEMPT!

In the quiet hours 1 awoke,
Jared into consciousness
By some sound | could not orient,
Though it's echoes stalked the CORR
doris of my brain,
Knocking at doubtful doors.
Again it sounded;
Then I knew it for tug-boat's scream
Warping some liner from her dock.
What boat nosed out to sea at night
Unless a troop transport?
Less than six weeks ago [ stood upon
a dock
Watching a liner back into the stream,
Her two decks filled with service men,
Ambulance drivers, hospital units, and
the like
And then I'd seen myself as one Of
them
Proud beyond all words
At the thought of helping those in
France.
That was before the draft.
The low number allotted me,
The local boards denial of my claim,
And then the district boards exemp-
ton:
A married man,
They let me go.
Perhaps that very hour
Some Yaphank conscript woke,
Disturbed by some untoward sound,
Or shivering with the cold.
And yet how comfortable he was
Compared to me, between the linen
sheets,
Fighting the battle brave men never
have to face,
Sinking at last to sleep
Only to dream of purposed men
And the onward tread of myriad feet.

pense is all right and perfectly prop
er. In some ways both are right. The
local board has shown a splendid at
titude in the matter by going ahead
and doing its best without thought of
payment On the other hand it seems
that in extending free service the
board should do its own giving. Let
the government offer to pay these men
fair return. Then should they de-
sire to donate their effort all we'll and
good That most of them are indepen-
dent has nothing to do with it.

An exchange coming to this office
admirable in many respects, contains
the advertisement of a so-called can
GER specialist" To us nothing could
be more reprehensible in newspaper
dom than running the ad of one of
these terrible fakes. Driven out of
the reputable city press they spread
their lures in the country papers and
invite misguided unfortunates to the
trap where they suffer, pay and die.
Thank heaven, few good country pa
pers nowadays are selling space to
these fellows. They contend their
money is good, but it isn't good. 1t is
as dirty as He'll. Having no limit to
the things one would do for money is

Granted that nobody likes snakes,
why should we kill them at the first
opportunity? Snakes never attack any
one willingly. Most of them endeav-
or by every possible means to get
away just as quickly and quietly as
possible. Their presence on farm
means a deterrent of rodents and in
