three years, and although it has failed
to do its duty, and failed to prepare
it has nevertheless also failed to
keep out of war. Moreover, l abso-
lutely agree with what you feel about
the man who would not be conscripted
under the obligatory service law, but
who ought to go to the front. These
are the men l am trying to reach by
my proposed volunteer organization

sary supplement in view of our fail

My dear Mrs. Irwin:
From time to time during the past
two years I have heard the question
asked: What has become of the old
New England stock that settled this
country and left the old for life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness?
And now / have your stirring ad-
dress delivered at Twin City, with
its noble and opposite quotation
from Emerson, in which you take a
stand squarely for the best ideals and
aspirations of this country. We here
in the east have never doubted for
moment the loyalty or nobility of SEN
timent of the people of the west but
it is heartening and encouraging to
come suddenly upon definite IN
stance in support of that belief.
venture thus to write to you in APP
probation of what you said, in the
hope that every action of this kind
will tend to bring our widely separat-
ed country more closely together

 War prosperity has doubled the number of our citizens having annual incomes of s2o,0O0 to s50o.0QO in the past year as com pared with the year previous. The re- ceipts from the individual income tax show an increase of 7,O00, 900, the total for the year ended June 90 last being s67, 94S 294. According to the estimates of the commissioner of internal revenue this will be raised during the current year to S111, ,750 GOO. New York paid one-fourth of all the corporation income taxes and nearly one-half of all the direct income taxes collected last year. In the latter respect it yielded nearly five times as much as Pennsylvania, nearly six times as much as Illinois, more than seven times as much as Massachusetts, and eight times as much as Ohio. The five states named paid four-fifths of the in- come tax collected in the United States, The states that went republican last election paid almost 90 per cent of the total, and Ohio about 6 per cent One hundred and twenty Americans have in comes of a million or more a year, not counting income from capital stock.

BRITISH WAR OFFICE
 CONDUCTS BUREAU
 FOR USE OF CUPID
Girls Left Behind" Deluge Grim Headquarters With Letters Asking News of
 Their Sweethearts

London, January 12.-There is Gu pids Inquiry Bureau" at the war office. Cupid has his official headquarters there, but so numerous are the inquiries of love sick maidens that "Cupids agencies have been opened at every army record office
 It appears that soldiers. as we'll as sail ors, are apt to have a girl in every port and when their battalion is moved away they promise to write. but do not do so. The girls send off letters and par cells to the only address they have but neither are acknowledged nor returned. The faithless lovers keep the parcels.
 It is long time before the forlorn maidens think of the war office, and then they do not write in any spirit of blt- terness. They do not denounce their sweethearts to their superiors; they sim ply inquire where they are. There is a great deal of pathos in these inquiries, and the war office treats them very kind ly. They are sent on to the record office of the mans regiment, and the desired in- formation is given if it is available.
 About s girls per week write to the Salvation Army to help them to find their lovers The army, however, has a little sympathy with the soldier who is some- times worried by casual acquaintances. Tn one case an older woman followed man from place to place, and though he tried hard he could not get reported missing The view is held that girls who make these casual friends must be expect to be treated casually.
 Tn the case of an official fiancee" ths army sets the machinery going with which it helps relatives of missing sol- diers
 The casual sweetheart is given the ad- dress of the local "Cupid's Bureau"-the faithless lovers record office. One girl is looking for two soldiers.
