War Tax Revenue
Stamps.

Some of our people who are
issuing business papers either
forget or are unaware that the
new national revenue law, which
went into effect Dec. 1st, pro-
vides that war tax revenue
stamps must be affixed to cer-
tain business and legal docu-
ments and that, without these,
the papers are valueless. Stamps
are on sale at all postoffces and
it is very likely that all banks
will also have them on hand.
Aside from some things not com
mon in Pine county, indemnity
or surety bonds need so cents
each, capital stock needs SC for
500 issued and &c for each
transfer of same. deeds need a
SOC stamp if the value is over
500 and not over $500 and 81
stamp if it exceeds $500, prom
issory notes and drafts and
checks not payable on sight need
&c for each 500 or fraction there
of and the same for each renewal
parcel post package of 25 cents
or more postage needs 1c and as
much more for each additional
25 cents or fraction, power of
attorney needs 25c, proxies for
voting at elections Of corpora
tions and the like need 10c and
sales on produce exchanges need
&c for every S1O0 or fraction
thereof while bonds Of indebted
ness and customs house receipts
and the like are hit harder,

SIS on a $50 valuation, for in

does not touch the poor, helping

They began to approach an age-old
palace near the river, and Saunders
whispered password when an armed
guard halted them. They were halted
again ut a gloomy gateway where an
officer came out to look them over; by
his leave they left the gharry and fol-
lowed him under the arch until their
heels rang on stone paving in big Ill

not look friendly.
He had to pass between them and

made the gold bracelet on his wrist

But with a superficial Improvement

disaster of incalculable dimensions,
even if the Germans succeed in holding

Germany's situation is complicated by
the fact that what Germany has won

she has permanently lost is not to be

The circumstances of a new peace
proposal would not be greatly different
Rrom those of last year. 1t would pc
Anade. and this is the essential detail
After great German success on the
Aa,t1efield. and 1t would be made by
Snilitaristic Germany, proclaiming its
Triumph and intending to retain its hold
hpon German political life on the
streueth of its achievement in a war
Of conquest.
In sense. the outward appearance OF
things is today more favorable TO the
Germans than year ago. AIthoush
Rumania had been beaten-by RUSSIAN
freacbery as it subsequently turned
mt hut as then il seemed, by a dramatic
and brilliant offensive-there was yet
no real basis for believing that RUSSIA
would collapse and make separate
peace In point of fact. of course Rus
eia-the reactionary cabinet which con-
trolled it-had already taken the hrst
steps to betray the allies and the coun-
try to the enemy.
Yet on the face of things the alliance
against Germany still stood firm. while
today il is plainly broken and Russia is
seeking separate peace. And. II one
can judge by all signs. Russia Is DEM.
itely removed from the battle lines of
the allies and all chance of her return
has vanished. 1t is important to grasp
this fact, because much harm will re-
suit il the people of the allied countries
continue to look, now in hope. now in
fear, toward nation from which only
tidings unfavorable to them can come.
1t is the part of wisdom to face the
truth, however unpleasant, and the
truth is, Russia has quit.
On the other hand. If Russia is now
seen TO have gone, as she had gone
actually If not visibly a year ago. the
United States has taken her place and
is bound, by this time next year, to
have filled it. Thus in fact the alliance
against Germany is in a better posture
than year ago. because 1t has def
; nitively lost disloyal ally only to
gain q greater ally. whose eventual aid
