DECEMBER SIXTH THE DATE.

It is not only possible but highly
nrahable that some do not Yet m-
derstand the law enacted by the VIZ
GINA legislature concerning the pay
ment of poll taxes.
Mr.. Richard y. Washington, WAC

entered upon his duties as collector
of poll taxes from delinquents III

in full.
r. any should seek TO evade the
pavment until after December sixth
they will thus disqualit'y themselves
as voters at the next election. Bat
they will not escape the intent OF the
law. for after Becembel. sixth Mr..
Washington will proceed just the same
and the taxes will have to be paid,
but only those VINO pay in time will

be deceived into the notion that any
thing will be gained ~ delay in pay

possibly be gained by waiting until
after December sixth. but the right

IT THE kAISER'S LAST
TRUMP?


The drive Of the Germans on Italy
is serving enc Of the main purposes
Of the kaiser'S campaign-to distract
the attention of its own people. Of
neutrals and OF even America and
the allies from German defeats in
the West and should the Italians ana
their allies drive back he TeutcH
hor,leS. the Teutons will receive an
other black eye.
These are the conclusions rcac!cd
in an official review of the war III III
theaters for the week ending Novem-
Der II, given out by Secretary u
War Bake Yesterday.
The scenes in the northern part
Of Italy are most dreary. Sea fowls
from the Adriatic are uttori@g
mournrul cries as they fly over in
undated areas. caused by the flood,
inc of fertile fields. with only the
chimneys Of houses and tree tops
visible above the waters.
Among the refugees from Valencia
is the venerable mother OF Pope
Benedict.
General Shermau's observation on
war is often quoted, but the Kaiser
had been preparing for years TO
MAKE greater inferno out Of car
mage than ever before dreamed OF.

WASTE OF FOOD IN THE ARMY,

the people of the coantry nave
been startled by the announcement
that while the pinch of war is be-
ing felt by the great majority of
iouseholders, soldiers are wasting
about one hundred thousands dollars
worth Of food daily.
Soldiers are never frugal. This
was illustrated during our civil war,
and many Alexandrians now living
can attest the fact that quantities
Of food were wasted and often wan
tonly destroyed by the soldiers. Many
incidedes could be cited by ,eye-wit-
nesses sof such acts which showed IN
1nclination ( to abuse the gifts OF
heaven.
1t Isl so now when the country Is
again called TO arms, and while pri
vate families. are denying themselves
and humming the tune when this

the. uniform Of the country have a
super-abundance, 50. much so. that

have carried to camp the habits Of

III this connection It may be stated
that while the army IS furnished
with sugar in abundance, the civilian
is compelled to use it sparingly and

three companions hurt less seriously
early yesterday morning when Ford

addition TO many cuts all over his body.
He is in the Glendale hospital In serious
condition. Martin is a driver for the
Price TaXicab company.
Three other companions were also
hurt. They are Earl Smith, who was
driving the car. who suffered number
Of bad cuts: Carl Crimmel, Mounds
willie restaurant keeper and Carl Ro"
decker. who were slightly cut and
brused. According to auto men who
investigated the case the accident was
due TO rounding the curve at too high
rate Of speed. 1t appeared that the
car rounded the curve on two wheels
for the wheels on the right side of the
car had given away presumably from
TOO great weight. All the men were
thrown clear of the car.
One Of the party went to nearby
farm house where they were given tent
porary aid until an ambulance arrived
TO take them to the hospital. The ac-
cident happened ul a steep place on the
paved Hendrysburg pike.
