Treadwell, Douglas and Perseverance are cordially invited to the tea to be given as a Red Cross benefit at the residence of Mrs. l.. O. Sloane on Thursday afternoon from to 5:30 o'clock A charge of twenty-five cents will be made and the money paid in will be added to the rapidly growing fund
 Headquarters Moved
 The headquarters of the executive committee has been moved to the B. NJ. Hehrends Bank, where the pri- vate office of B. M. Behrends has been placed at their disposal. The Secretary has moved her typewriter and papers there and a telephone is being installed for the exclusive use of the Red Cross Committee.
 Must Rise to Occasion
 We hope the people of Gastineau Channel will rise to the occasion, and astound even themselves by the size of their contributions to the Red Cross War Fund" This was the hope expressed today by one of the Red Cross Campaign Committee.
 The main idea at the back of all our planning" she said, ''is to stir the United States to heartfelt reli- zation of debt and duty, to raise $100,000,000 more rapidly than that amount was ever collected by vol untary subscription, to assemble the best trained talent that America pos sesses, to assemble the great stores of supplies and provide the ships, and then start to Europe, especially to our French and Russian friends stream of help that will never cease to flow, an amending rich current of material and moral aid"
 We Must Do Our Part"
 Excuses and evasions won't do. The man who has an income of $10,- 900 a year might as well make III his mind to give half of it to the Red Cross. That's a spirit the situa tion demands-nO less. If people will meet the situation with that spirit we will have our wall of gran ite in no time, put life and heart in to the shaken Allies, do tremen- dous work before our armies begin to fight, and so deliver a tremendous punch, straight from the American shoulder at German military power. | The man who grumbles at taxes and at the call to subscribe will do well | to keep in mind the thought that if France and Russia and England break down he will be paying for every thing he has to German tax collect ors for the rest of his natural life That's all there is to it. That's pre- cisely the way matters stand

Finance Committee Has Reported to General Committee and the
 Work Outlined.
FREE BALL AT NIGHT
Adults and Children To Be Given Opportunity To Show Themselves
 in the Sports.

The Executive Committee of the Fourth of July celebration met last night at the city hall and the re- port of the finance committee was received. This committee reported that they had not completed their work. The money donated would be ample for the needs of the celebration, and that probably a good balance would be left to give to the Red Cross.
 It was the sense of the commit tee that while the celebration should be good one, no money should be squandered foolishly and every expense kept as low as possible in order that the Red Cross should get good share of the funds. Much of the money secured was donated with the understanding that the Red Cross should get a good split of the proceeds, according to the report of the committee.
 For a Good Parade.
 The parade committee reported that much interest was being taken in that feature and that there would
The Alaska daily empire., 1917-06-19

be good turnout in line. Prizes will be offered for the best decor ated float, for the best recorated pri- vate auto and for the best decorated business auto. It is expected that the three women's organizations in the city will enter floats and that the Elks, in their white suits, and other fraternal organizations and lodges will enter the parade in body.
 Big Free Dance.
 The dance committee reported that the hall has been secured and everything will be in readiness for the big free dance which is to be given in the A. B. hall. This will be the only dance in the city on that night and everything will be provided by the committee to make it a success. The best of music will be provided.
 Four -Cornered Games.
 The ball games in the afternoon between Thane, Perseverance, Ju neau and Douglas will be one of the big drawing cards. The first three teams mentioned are about equal in strength, with the excep- tion of Perseverance which so far has not been beaten this year. However, the other two teams are confident that they can humble their miner rivals on that day and cop the prize. Substantial purses will be hung up for the two win ming teams.
 Sports in Evening.
 During the evening, after the baseball game and before the start of the dance hose races for the firemen will be held, with a small purse as the prize. In addition, if the weather is suitable, the new fire engine will be taken out and a demonstratoin of it's ability to pump water will be given.
 Sports for Children.
 In addition to the above sports for the older people, the children will not be overlooked and the sports committee is busy planning large number of races for both boys and girls in which they can show their skill and prowess.
 Prizes will be offered for the win ners of all races.

PRESCOTT WELCOMES
 RED GROSS TRAIN
Court House Packed When Mem bers of Red Cross Arrived Each Speech Was Received With Enthusiasm.

A more rousing welcome was never accorded a party visiting Prescott than that of the Allies Red Cross Special, which spent an hour here yesterday afternoon. The members were met at the station by a commit tee from the local chapter and escort ed to the court house in automobiles where the speaking took place to a room full of people.
 R. L. Blakely acted as chairman of the meeting and introduced the Ar kansas live wire of the party, Harry Myers of Little Rock, who paid a glowing tribute to the people of the state and to the railroads for the lat ter's generosity in donating the use of the train to carry the party over the entire state in interest of this good cause, furnishing all the necessities for making the trip comfortable. He also preached the funeral of the kaiser before introducing the first speaker.
 Brigadier General R. P. Davis, who is in command of 5000 men at Camp Pike, was the first speaker and Gen. Davis held the vast audience in his grasp from the first word, because of the impressive and ceilings words he uttered, which were received by the people as being from one who was in position to speak words of war wis dom. he having had 40 years service in the U. s. army. Gen Davis said that he sincerely believed that the allies victory over the autocracy of Germany is foreordained, but he said that t would take the cooperation and sacrifice of every American to do it. He referred to the vital part poor lit tie Belgium had played in the begin hing of the war and the part Russia Italy and the other allies are playing all of which are doingetaoinetaoinn all doing their utmost, and the United States must take the part of those who are weakening. He commended the splendid record made by the draft ed boys at Camp Pike. He said that President Wilson did not say that we must have 1O,000,000 members in the Red Cross by Christmas, but he said he wanted it-that is a part every one of us can play.
 Col. Van Schaick of the II. s. army and the possessor of two medals for bravery. impressed his hearers with the manner in which he thanked the

MAN HAS MISGVINGS
 ABOUT MARRIED LIFE

St. Louis, Dec. 17.-August Soya, a coal miner of Bluff City, H., has mis- givings about this here married life.
 Gus was strolling down the street the other day looking for a motion picture show, when suddenly he heard something like a crash of thunder. Then soft music rung in his ears. He looked up just in time to see the sole of a No. 10 coming straight for his face. Then he heard this from a towering woman with an emphatic war about here:
 You'll come home next time l send for you!'
 She reached for Gus ear-but wait. It was a mistake. Gus was not her husband Gus now is in a hospital. The woman fled.

FIGHTING ON ITALIAN FRONT MOST BITTER
TeutOn Attack on Left of Brenta and Italians on Right-Teuton Made Slight Advance After Five Days Fighting.

Headquarters of the Italian Army in Northern Italy, Dec. 15.-After a heavy sacrifice of men and fire days of continuous fighting, the enemy has succeeded in making another slight advance, bringing his position up to Caprille Hit, just east of the Brenta river. This represents an advance of about three-quarters of mile, it's chief importance being that Caprille IS one of the dominating heights at the head of San Lorenzo Valley lead ing southward to the plains toward which the enemy is consistently exert ing all his pressure.
 As his chief effort the previous week was to gain command of the passes west of the Brenta river, so all his attention in the last week has been given to the passes on the east bank. The fighting during the last five days has been heavy and at times desperate for control of strategic positions.
 Austrian attacks on the left were twice repulsed, but late yesterday, with large addition of fresh troops. the Austrians reached the summit of Caprille, while the Italian lines were correspondingly drawn back. Although Caprille is at the head of San Lorenzo Valley, the passage along this valley is controlled by the heights on both sides by the Italians.

INCOME TAXES
 UNDER NEW LAW
Every Married Person with In- cOme-Of S2,000 and Every Sin
 gle Person With S1,000 Income Must Pay Tax to Government.

It used to be considered a mark of aristocracy to be called upon to pay the income tax.
 But under the new law, enacted for raising money with which to conduct the war, it will be the exception rather than the rule to pay income tax.
 The list will be increased by tens of thousands in Arkansas this year.
 And you will not be expected to wait until a government agent calls to see you about your income-you will be required to hunt up the collector or his agent, just as you do the assessor and the county collector, make an ac- counting of your gross income from which certain fixed expenses are to he deducted, and then deduct this from the gross amount.
 A federal income tax officer is to be sent into each county of the state to help the people make out their income returns without cost for his services.
 It is based upon sliding scale, SO that the man with a small income will not have to pay a great deal, but he will be required to pay something. so that he may have a part in it.
 The idea is to bring home to every citizen the fact that this is every body's war. It is the rich mans as we'll as the poor mans war, and un- less it is prosecuted to a triumphant end, the whole country, with all its resources and it's liberty will become vassal to a foreign autocracy.
 Every married person living with his wife or husband who has a net in- come of S2 900 or over, and every un- married person who has a net income of 1000 or over, this year, will be re- quired to pay the government tax.
 These returns must be made on forms to he provided for the purpose before March l, 1918.
 If the return is not made as re- quired, before that date, the delin- quent may have to pay a penalty ranging from $20 to $1,OOO, pay a fine or go to jail It follows, therefore, that those who do not wish to go to jail must call on the income tax man, and make proper showing of his earnings and other sources of income.
 Everybody is expected to begin right now to get ready for the expert But you must make the return wheth- CT you see the agent or not. Expenses
The Prescott daily news., 1917-12-17

do not mean what it costs to live, i'm provements, new machinery, money used to pay the principal of debt, or anything like that-the exemptions are supposed to take care of that.
 It does mean what one spends in making money-interest, taxes, sal aries or wages paid employees, amounts paid for goods sold, seed, stock bought for feeding, rent (except for the house in which you live) and such things.
 Income means every cent you get from any source, and the gross in come is to be reduced by the amount of expenses, which will give the net income, upon which the tax is paid.
 It has been computed that there will be thirty taxpayers in every thousand of the population upon which basis there will be something like 60,00O in Arkansas.
 The tax officials are warned that they must use every possible means to arrive at the actual tax liability of individuals, and to investigate every case as thoroughly as the time will permit.
 The State Council of Defense has been called upon by the government to IaSSist in this work bv brinpinQ the details to the attention of the people, to the end that the widest possible publicity is given to it.
 An effort will be made to see that the people are thoroughly familiar with the details of the campaign, and are educated in the fundamental ne cessity of the money to the govern ment and the patriotic obligation of the people to assume the burden of taxation.

good women for the homemade band ages, sweaters and other wearing ap- parel and Red Cross material fur nished them, saying that they were highly appreciated by the boys in the camps and at the front.
 Lieutenant Reeves, or the fighting parson, as MT. Myers called him, is from Helena, Ark, and he said that his mission was to pray and preach the hell out of Wilhelm, but that had failed and he was going to help shoot 1t out. His reference to his family which he left at home when he entered the service of his country, was the means we believe in adding many a dollar to the local Red Cross member ship campaign.
 Capt. Rawcliffe of the British army, and Lieutenant DeSault of the French army, the latter being decorated three times for bravery, both received a great ovation when they arose to speak and mere words cannot express the sympathetic hush that reigned while they spoke of the awfulness of the war and the part America will be forced to play. In broken English the little French lieutenant urged the peo- pie to do their best for the Red Cross.
 After the speakers departed to catch their train, Col. c. c. Hamby made a short appeal for everyone who had not joined to come up at once and pay in their dollar and about hun dred joined on the spot, and the com mittee is receiving much substantial encouragement in their canvass today.
