There is no law exempting the
soldier from the payment Of the
poll tax. When the poll tax was
provided as a requisite to citizen
ship it was not then thought that
the United States would be at
war with Germany. There was
in mind the principle of no en-
tangling alliances with foreign
powers. Since then the drift un-
ayoidable has allowed this condi-
ton. The United States is at
war with foreign powers. and
Louisiana being a part Of the
United States must furnish its
quota of fighting men, of whom
thousands are in France and
thousands and thousands have
been transferred from their
homes and therefore can not
comply with the law requiring
the pryment of the poll tax. 1t
will devoIve on the General As
sembly of the State of Louisiana
at its next sessionin 1913 to pro-
vide a poll tax exemption for the
soldiers in active duty. In the
interim the soldiers poll tax for
the year ending Dec. 81, 1877,
should be paid by his parent or
next of kin or friend. The sol
der who is in active service must
be protected in his right of citi-
zenship. Shreveport Caucasian.

ing that the Turks, enraged at
the loss of Jerusalem. might de-
stroy it. Included in the Turkish
garrison were a number of Ger
man army officers.
The capture Of this ancient
city. which may be regarded as
the fountain head OF Christianity,
recalls the medieval days of cru
saders when countless thousands
gave up their lives to rescue the
tomb of Christ from the infdel,
and it is also giving impetus to
the plan already before the Brit
ish government of establishing a
home in Palestine for the Jews.
Jerusalem, the birthplace of
Christianity, is the most fought
for city in the world. Down
through the ages it has been bat
tied for by Jew, Mohammedan,
Pagan and Christian. The hills
of Palestine have been drenched
with Christian blood in mighty
battles fought by fanatic Chris
tian invaders. The historic city
has been destroyed and rebuilt
times without number, only to
finally fall for the second time
into the hands of Christian Brit
ish.
