MOVES IN FINE 3REciTAL.
English Poet Gives Readings Before
Twentieth Century Club.

An entertainment Of an unusual. yet
thoroughly enjoyable. nature. was Civ
en- before about 100 members and
guests of the Twentieth Century Club
Friday evening at the. home of Mr.. and
Mrs B. A. Morgan, when Alfred Noyes,
the English poet. read several of his
own poems. prefacing each one with ar
interesting review Of the circumstances
under which it was written.
Mr.. Moves. who is one of the young
er members Of the school Of lyric poe
try, is noted for his vivid descriptive
powers, the musical qualities of his
poetry. and his remarkable use OF fig
ures OF speech in his works. In recit-
ing the poems which made up the hour
and quarters entertainment Friday
evening he brought out the highly coll
ored passages in such a manner as to
make his audience feel them perhaps
more clearly than would have been
possible had any one but the author
been reading. Especially remarkable
was the reading OF several poems writ
ten two or three years before the out
break of the war, which seemed to
prophesy the beginning OF the great
struggle. and sought to avert 1t II pos
sible.
Variety was the main theme OF the
program offered by MI. Noyes, who ex-
planned that he wished to give as many
different kinds Of poetry as far as SUBJ
5ect matter was concerned, as possible
One poem especially interesting was
entitled "Kilmeny," and was written
only a few weeks ago, when the poet
was taken out IN the trawlers on the
English coast, which are used to keep
off submarines. BY use OF large steel
nets these little steam fishing vessels
have a secret method Of keeping the
home waters Of England free Of the
under sea destroyers. In connection
with this poem Mr. Noyes read another
short poem, a rough description Of the
trawler men themselves, with roll
licking sea-going refrain, which was at
once humorous and effective. Among
the lighter poems none was so favor
ably received as Forty Singing Sea-
men" and "The Highwayman"
Turning to the serious side, the poet
ecited several selections which show
ed the strange prophecies made before
the war Of the terrible battle sure to
come. In 1.-THE Origin Of Life he
pointed CT: The: Coa -wss the e.s.:Snsa.::
power, even above the state, and this
idea was also carried out in THE
iSearchlights." A
| Mr.. Noyes was heartily appIauded
during the entire program, and gave
his last number in response to repeated
applause.
Refreshments were served after the
program by Misses Mabel Mears, Hell

When Fighters Come Home
BY Frederick J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Dec. II The man who
is now about to leave his home, family
ana chosen work for the business Of
war, whether as conscript or as a vol
unteer, may derive comfort from the
knowledge, that his fellow citizens are
going TO do everything of which money
and brains are capable to restore him
to the place he has left and make good
whatever he may sacrifice of time,
health and opportunity.
Unlike the soldiers Of other American
wars, he is not going to be chucked in
to a soldiers home, or turned loose
with an inadequate pension and a wood
en- leg. The new public sense of re-
sponsibilItv is manifested in wide
range of government plans for the care
of the soldier, not only while he Is fight

gress bill is going to be presented,
and probably passed at once. providing

In a communication received by this
paper, Collector of Internal Revenue,
Joshua w. Miles, announces that
federal income tax officer will be sent
into this county and will be located as
follows: In the post office of the follow
ing cities: Oakland, Md. from Feb. IS

How many income-tax payers will
there be in Garrett Co? If you can
guess how many married persons living
with wife or husband will have net in
comes of $1,000 or over and how many
unmarried persons will have net incomes
of 81, 600 or over this year, then you
know. The Collector of Internal
Revenue estimates that there will be
$50 taxpayers in this county.
Returns of income for the year 1917
must be made on forms provided
for the purpose before March
/, 1918. Because a good many people
don't understand the law and won't
know how 0 make out their returns,
the government is sending in this
expert to do 1t for them But the duty

he may have to pay penalty ranging
from $50 to 81, 600. In such a case he
also becomes liable to prosecution; to
the payment of a fine or to imprison-
ment, but the Collector insists that in
the Maryland District taxes on incomes
made higher to carry on the war will be
cheerfully paid and there will be
no necessity for prosecutions or the
imposition of penalties.
OF course, persons resident in other
counties may, if they want to, come
and see the incom tax man at the
above locations.
The Collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his income
and expenses so as to be ready with the
figures when the expert arrives. Elk

a period of several years as deputy

iSRUSALEM FEE FOREVER.

Free forever from the domination of
the Turk, according to the firm word of
Premier Lloyd George, Jerusalem looks
out upon the future IS the field of its
history fulflment, with profound
gratitude for the realization of the long
hopes of the eXpatriated people. The
question as how many Jews will avail
themselves of England's hospitality in
Palestine does not matter. The great
sentimental and serviceable fact is,
that the holy places endeared to the
Jew and the Christian are taken from
the hands Of the Mohammedan, and the
country itself is in fair way to be re-
stored to the people from whose power
it was shorn so many years ago.
Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered is the
appropriate theme for the event that
is transcendent in the annals of the
times. The story of Jerusalem is well
nigh the record Of the race, and the
final act of deIverance marks the apex
of the triumph of the underlying law of
restitution.
In the forecast of the peace terms
the Kaiser is said to be about to put
forth is one stlpulating for the full res
toration to Turkey Of all its domains.

THE UGLY BUT BENEFICIAL TRUTH

1t is difficult to say which of the two
disconcerting revelations Of War De-
pRrtment affairs made last week is the
more serious. Before the public coull
comprehend the full meaning of the re-
port of the Surgeon General on the
health of troops in camps, Col. Isaac N.
Lewis was making accusations against
the Chief of Ordnance that cannot be
ignored. Either of these manifesto
tions of dissatisfaction with the way
our preparations for offensive warfare
are going on would be enough to raise
serious questions in the public mind; to-
gether they must fill every conscientious
citizen with the desire to know the
truth. ugly though it may be, about the
cause of our unpreparedness.
Outside of military circles, nobody
cares whether the American expeditio-
nary force is equipped with Lewis,
Browning or some other machine gun.
Relatively few know the merits of the
various guns or the details of Col.
Lewis long siege of the War Depart

ment in an effort to obtain the adoption.
Few are able to advance an intelligent
opinion on this controversy. But
everyone does know this: That more
than year after our declaration of war
is no time to start delivering the adopt
ed gun to our soldiers abroad. And
they also know that they furnished the
initial cost of this war confident that no
time was to be lost in its successful
prosecution. -reactionary bureau
Gratis cannot get started, to continue
them in office is breach Of trust.
So far there has been no reflection
on the manufactures of ordnance. 1t
has been testified that they have been
ready to cooperate fully and the tes-
timony has not been refuted. What is
slowly crystalizing in the public mind
is, that on top of the woeful lack of
preparedness for almost two wears af-
ter the original outbreak in Europe
there has been inexplicable delay in OBJ
tanning and delivering supplies in the
eight months we have been in. The
people have showed tendency to for
give the former, but the latter has
aroused well defined irritability that
is prevented from becoming worse by
the hope that by spring, when offensive
fighting will be resumed, our men will
be ready.
1t is interesting to note that the same
man who called attention to our de-
fenseless state. the same man who
evolved zthe "P!atssburg idea," and
whose demands for energetic policies
have been so distastefu IN certain Of
fetal quarters, has just had his charges
OF incompetency in the Q1artermast-
er's Department substantiated by Gen
Gorgas, Gen. Leonard Wood, IN com
mand at Camp Funston, for three
months protested against conditions Of
health and supply that the Surgeon
General now finds were to blame for
the death rate and sickness there and
elsewhere. Thus is the former com
mander OF the Department of the East
again INDICATED, IN the peoples eyes
at least.
What makes the situation lock SO
hopeless is that there is no restriction
upon the warmakers as to what success
shall ultimately cost. They know they
can have all the money they need. So
thoroughly have the people conceiv.

this attitude by patient press. Such
confidence and obedience deserve to be
rewarded instead of insulted. One way
to do this would be to end the machine
gun scandal once and for all.

left to 90 to war. The returned soldier
not only viii have government aid and
encouragement 10 getting back TO
normal place IN life, he VIII be trained
for that place under military discipline
and kept in it under government pro-
lection.
What happened after the Civil War is
a good example of what must not be
allowed TO happen after this war.
Every problem indicated by these mis-
takes is now being studied or worked
out. The new pension plan, providing
insurance for the soldier, was the first
and most elementary step. 1t is an &C
compIished Tact, but it is only the be
ginning. The soldier who wants lard
is to have land, and in such way that
no one can take il from bun. The
Crosser bill, which provides 4 plan for
colonizing soldiers on lands owned by
the government, has geen .nlorseu by
Secretary Of Labor Wilson and Will
probably form the basis of gi-lation
designed to provide faGm for those
soldiers who want them a1G are able to
use them,
Just now the problem Of what to do
with the man who returns from war
physically Incapacitated is especially
engaging the attention Of the govern
ment, The new Federal Board for
Vocational Education is making
special study of this problem and the
Army Medical Corps is getting ready to
handle it in the broadcast possible way.
1t should be understood that the man
who is re-educated so that he can do
his work in spite of his injuries does
not thereby sacrifice his pension. His
pension is as sure thing as a paid-up
insurance policy.
Private charity is not to be allowed
to lay its bungling hand upon this task
either. 1t is essentially a job to be
done by the government, which is to
say by the people for themselves.
The responsibility of the government
does not end when the returned soldier
has been repaired and re- educated He
must then either be given land in such
a way that it cannot be taken away
from him, or given job in which ne
cannot be exploited.
