SOMEWHERE In FRANCE!"

Written BY 4 fond father. thinking Of his only
boy in the trenches.)
Somewhere in Francer' in a dark,
narrow trench;
AS the foul-smslling vapors arise,
The putrined dead make a terrible
stencil.
Where they lie with thdfr dull,
staring eyes,
Perchance my poor boy is knee-deep
in the mire,
As the allies are on the advance:
{ wonder how Sammy" will act under
fire.
Somewhere in Franceg'
Tis hard to imagine my sensitive
Sam"
Where the bullets are falling like
As soldier. know he amt worth
a dern.
And is morally certain to fail!
He's afraid of his shadow! His hearts
in his boots.
And it's back to the rear he will
prance;
When he gets within touch OF those
crazy galoots!"
Somewhere in Francer'
lov fortune will favor the allies some
day, 80.
And peace be declared through the
land:
But many 9 brave. noble hero will
lay
Where he calamity made his last
stand:
md when they are seeking those who
survive.
Der the battle-scarred, dreary ex-
panse, ,..
t's dollars to doughnuts my sammy's
alivei
Somewhere in Franee"

Bankers Make Objection
To Washington Tax Law

Stating that the law concerning the
taxes on personal property in the Dis
trict was so involved that many of
the citizens of this city have not
yet become fully acquainted with
many of the provisions. several of
the leading bankers of Washington
yesterday filed an appeal for the post
ponement of the date for filing of the
deposit figures.
The bankers have been flooded with
inquiries relative to obscure provi-
sions of the law and have gone to
the extent OF hiring legal aid for
opinions on the subject. As a result
of this. they have been advised to
ask for a postponement of the date
on which returns should be made, and
accordingly have sent in an appeal
for a delay. They request a post
ponement beyond August /, which
vas the date set for the returns un-
der the intangible tax law.

he Draft Today.

One Of the most momentous. events
in the history Of the nation-decisively
one Of the milestones in the progress
Of American. institutions-comes to-
day.
The draft has always been abhor-
rent in democracies. 1t has been a
stronghold Of imperialist power. 1t
has been a symbol Of militarist su-
premacy. a symbol Of conquest and
brute force. Americans have always
deemed 1t alien to their institutions.
They tolerated 1t in the civil war on
the score of necessity. But they have
been brought around to a different
point Of view.
selective conscription establishes the
right Of the nation to call its sons
to its defense when they are needed.
Surely there can be no question about
the obligation Of the citizen to serve
his country IN time of peril. The vol
unteer system has broken down. Both
the United States and Great Britain
have had this experience In all coun-
tries where individualism has made
progress volunteering is likely to fail
Therefore these nations have resorted
temporarily to the system which au-
tocratic Germany compels them to
adopt America must have the right
to call whomeyer she needs IN this
time of world upheaval. That has
been established; and the work Of to-
day puts it into effect.
There IL only one thing that the
people Of the United States demand
Of the draft: that 1t be absolutely
fair and impartial That, owing to
the precautions taken by Provost
Marshal General Crowder. than whom
no abler man serves in the army,
has been assured There will be a
great national lottery today. but it
is a pure lottery, not one In which
the house" has certain secret wires.
The drawing IL left purely to chance.
If there Is the slightest effort at
"wirepulling" or influence in the work
OF exemptions. 1t assuredly will be
exposed. Those guilty Of such work
will be punished.
The excellent system which Gen.
Crowder had evolved has been smash
ed by stupidity on the part Of the reg
istration officials of New Jersey. and
as a result more than 10000 numbers
will have to be drawn from she
basket, instead of the original 1.0OO
The work of the tabulators and the
tallymen has been increased tenfold
and 1t will be 8 o'clock tonight be-
fore the nnal number is drawn. This
error shows the futllity Of leaving
such an important work to State Of
hcials who are beyond the purview
Of the Federal government. Despite
the clear and explicit nature Of the
directions given them. they have sue
ceeded in undoing the work of weeks.
Selective conscription does away
with all slackerism. Those who are
called first. are called because Fate
willed It so; II the war continues
long enough. all will be called. No
young man who falls within the
charmed circle should look with envy
! upon those who have escaped. In
years to come he will look upon his
summons as a badge OF honor. and
will pity those who lost the great
experiences that were his. He Is one
of the chosen. one OF the elect. The
opportunity to serve America in a
great world cause does not come to
every generation.

Jerry South Acquitted
Of Charge of Assault

Jerry South, clerk Of the House OF
Representatives, will not have to pay
fine for assaulting James E.
Meegan, a dealer in second hand
books. He was acquitted yesterday
afternoon.
Hair-splitting came into practice
during the trial by both Prosecutor
Ralph Given and Attorney w. Gwynn
Gardiner. counsel for South. South
according to his own testimony,
struck Meegan on the Jaw in self
defense.
Meegan says the blow was struck
without provocation and clung to this
statement all through the trial. If
man has just cause to believe that
he is to be assaulted. he does not
have to wait for the actual act. This
was Judge Pudgh's ruling. and he or
dered the cased dismissed.
