English-French Dictionary
Popular Among Civilians

The Soldiers-Sailors Diary and
English French Dictionary has prov
ed the most popular book of the
year, not only among those in the
military service but civilians as well.
The necessity of learning French
and the valuable plan of fixing per-
manently the exact date of events
on the scene of action have given
this unique combination great
vogue.
New experiences, new scenes, new
friends - sea fights, land battles,
camp life, trench duty, marches-all
rush with confusion into the minds
of soldiers and sailors. A daily note
in the diary will retain for use in
after years the happenings of this
epoch-making period.
All who go to France should be
able to speak the French language.
With this English French dictionary
annoyance and trouble will vanish.
Interchange of ideas will broaden

the Maryland cantonment has been
open for business" a score or more
of young lieutenants of the reserve,
who were assigned to the Quarter

without much to occupy their minds

Today twenty-nine of them were
ordered to report to point for en-
for service in the motor
truck corps in France. They thought
it would be possible for them to
spent Christmas at home. Iustead
they have gone from here and os-
tensibly for service "over there" 1t

Petrograd. Nov. 25 (Correspondence

publishes an amazing account of the
escape of Russian military prisoner
who had been sentenced to be exc
cuted for selling military secrets to
Germany and plotting explosions in
two powder factories which caused
the death of 5000 persons.
When squad of soldiers. and gov

watch the hangman do his work the
condemned man startled them bv a
proposal that, instead of executing
him, they give him a vote of approv-
al IN the debate which ensued the
eXecutioner narrowly escaped hang
ing In the place of the prisoner. The
convicted man was elected as secre-
tary OF the meeting and escaped while
the vote whether to kill him or the
eXecutioner was being taken. The
meeting then voted to sentence .he
executioner to Imprisonment for
failure to do his duty.
Smiling contemptuously, the pris-
oner was led ito the scaffold. When
the sentence had been read he raised
his hands and demanded to be heard.

Draft Workers
Paid at Rate
Of 81 An Hour

Washington, Dec. 14.-Members
of exemption boards in the District
will be paid 81 per hour for each
sixty minutes of service spent in full
filling their duties at headquarters,
such compensation not to exceed
$3.50 per day, or $3.50 per month.
according to new regulation of the
Provost Marshal General which will
be effective when examinations of
new conscripts begins again.
While it was generally supposed
that the members of the local eX-
emption boards were giving their
services gratuitously to the govern
ment, many have, as the new order
reveals, been entitled to and have
been receiving S4 per day for each
day of attendance upon sessions OF
the board.
No restriction is placed Upon those
who desire to continue to give their
time to the government without COM
pensation as a patriotic duty, and
such service is expected If it does
not entail a financial hardship. the
new order says in part:
"There are citizens whose services
the country needs in this capacity
but who cannot without dispropor-
tionate loss and hardship longer alb
sent themselves from their private
business without compensation. The
services of these men cannot be
spared by the government at this
time. The rate of compensation is
prescribed to relieve this condition:
Members of the District board
which reviews all exemption claims
may receive $1.25 per hour for ac-
tual service, but not to exceed $50
for any single day, or $500 for any
single month. Examining physicians
not members of boards may receive
pay at the same rate as board men,
bers."
1t is planned to start the new
classification of registered men by
the QUESTIONABLE system on De-
cember Is and the work of organz-
ing free legal advisory boards, to
be located in all sections of the city,
is now under way.
Every member of the bar is eX-
pected to give his aid and services
freely to assist registrants in an
swering the involved questions re-
quired by the War Department.

two months ago, resigning as vice.
president and general counsel of the
New York State Railways and Mo-
hawk Valley Company, to devote
himself to knights of Columbus re-
creation work among Uncle Sam s
fighting forces. He is a resident of
Utica, n. Y. and New York City.
Enroute to France he stopped in
England where such well-known
English Catholics as Edward Eyre,
head of the Catemian Society; his
SON law. Lord Campden, and b..
Vincent Wareing, of the Catholic
Encyclopedia. expressed themselves
as being greatly interested in this
Catholic social work.
"Our work abroad will probably
exceed that which we are doing for
the soldiers and sailors in this coun-
try" says Col. P. II. Callahan, chair
man of the knights of Columbus
Committee on War Activities, "for
it stands to reason that once the
American soldiers are placed on for
eign soil. there will be more need
to surround them with proper re-
creational, social and religious fa-
cilities. Our budget of expenditures
for the current year in this country
will be considerably more than ST.
900, 900 and it is bound to be much
higher in Europe. However, we eX-
pect to see our foreign work through
to completion and will not stop at
expenses"
Eight Knights of Columbus chap
lains are now serving in France and
this number will be greatly in
creased. knights of Columbus re-
creation buildings will be erected
wherever they are needed for the
of the American troops
and the work done on

plicate that which is being accom-
plished under the auspices of the

viable position in. this isolation and
detachment from great national
struggle in which the welfare of all
hangs in the balance? Have they
been made to see that losing fight
for their Government is their loss
also?
1t is true, and very gratifying. in
deed, that some of the funds of in
competent Indians have been invest
ed in Liberty Bonds; but this is
largely q matter of administrative
decision by the Interior Department.
1t is also true that many individ-
ual Indians who were educated in
such schools as Carlisle or elsewhere,
or individual Indians who have
learned to do independent thinking
with the capacity to act accordingly,
have enlisted in the Federal Army
or have joined the Navy. All praise
be to them. They give evidence of
clear thinking and true patriotism.
Besides, as shall show later, they
are certainly far-sighted. But, un-
fortunately, this is only a scattered
representation, comparatively small
in the aggregate. If Canada with
her hundred thousand Indians has
5000 troops at the front in a Volun-
tary effort. it is clear that the
United States with an Indian popu-
lation three times as large should
have a larger-not a smaller-repre-
sentation.
Indian Is Courageous
The American Indian of history is
romantic, courageous, robust, loving
freedom, unafraid. What q chance
to vindicate and make permanent
that record! What an opportunity
to come into his own! If the Indians
rise to the occasion and do their
part in this historical conflict et-
fectively, the close of the war Will see
their status and condition vastly inn
proved. A grateful Government and
people will not then withhold from
them their rights as free men un-
der the Constitution.
The military experience, drill, dis
cipline, travel, association with men
of another race on terms OF equality
will improve them physically, men
tally and morally. Their outlook
will be broadened, their understand
ing of their paleface brother clarl-
fed, their knowledge of the world
wonderfully improved.
| believe q campaign OF educatlon
in every tribe, a placing OF the Is
sue in all it's relationships betore
every Indian, a serious and intelligent
campaign, like that for the sale OF
Liberty Bonds, will bring happy
response from the Indians.-Moses
Friedman, formerly superintendent
Carlisle Indian School, in Public
Ledger.

DON'T SUFFER ~'
WITH NEURALGIA
Use Soothing Musterole

When those sharp pains go shooting
through your head, when your skull
seems asi it would split, just rub alittle
Musterole on your temples and neck.
1t draws out the inflammation, soothes
awaythepain, usually giving quickrelief.
Musterole is clean, white ointment
made with oil of mustard. Better than
a mustard plaster and does not blister.
Many doctors and nurses frankly
recommend Musterole for sore throat,
bronchitis, Group, stiff neck, asthma,
neuralgia, congestion, pleurisy, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, pains and aches of the
back or joints, sprains, sore muscles,
bruises, chilblains, frosted feet-colds

GERMANY WRITING NOTES,
NEW GERMAN SEMI-OFTTCIAL
REPLY ISSUED.
Takes up Many Phases of InternatiOn-
al Relations in Series Of Rhetorical
Queries.

London, Jan. ia semi official
reply has been issued in Berlin in re-
gard to the British authoritative view
made public here on Saturday regard
ing the latest German and Austrian
notes. This reply, as quoted in an
Amsterdam dispatch to Reuters, says
that the charges made in England re-
garding German responsibility for
starting the war are not new but are
rcpetitions of statements long ago
contradicted. The reply then proceeds
to ask series of questions in re-
spect to the diplomatic action Of the
powers prior to the outbreak of the
war.
1t is assorted among other things
that Germany could not have done
otherwise than order mobilization as
Russia's suggestion Of a reference tC
The Hague tribunal came on the very
day that her mobilization agains
Austria Hungary was begun. The re-
ply calls attention to the concentra
tion camps of South Africa, the de
bates in the Russian duma on the
subject of the treatment Of foreign
nationalities in Russia, the treatmen
| Of Jews in Russia and Mohammedan
| in the Caucasus, the entente attitud
| toward Greece and the treatment o
German prisoners of war in Russia.
Another question asked in the re
ply is: "Is not the submarine wa
merely a reprisal against the British
| policy of starvation?"

CHAIRMAN OF WAYS AND MEANS
MAKES STATEMENT ON THE
REVENUE SITUATION.
Bonds Will be Issued to Cover Border
Expenditures, Danish Island Pur-
chase, ArmOr Plant, Alaskan Rail-

Washington, Jan. 15.-Chairman
Kitchin, of the house ways and means
committee, after several hours con-
ference today with Secretary McAdoo
over the revenue situation announced
that the ways and means committee,
the secretary of the treasury and the
administration will be inl perfect har-
mony on a revenue bill.
The committee Democrats will meet
tomorrow to form a policy for the
first time and will meet practically
daily until the revenue measure is
complete with view of passage by
the house by January 80 at the latest.
Mr.. Kitchin said bond issue was
certain, that there would be no tax
on tea, coffee or other foodstuffs and
there would be no lowering Of the
| exemption under the income tax
The committee majority members
will be called together to consider
several alternative propositions" said
Mr.. Kitchin. 1--WE will pass the bill
i'm the house the last Of next week or
the first part of the following week.
but what it will tax I cannot say
yet
There is, however, certain to be an
authorization for n bond issue to
take care of the Mexican border ex-.
penditures These border expenses, it
is estimated, will reach $4,000, 900
by next June. The bond issue VIZ
also take care of the purchase Of the
Danish possessions in the West Indies
to cost $25 5,OOO,OOO; the armor plant
project TO cost $1,000, 900. and the
Alaska railway to cost 11,SOO,O00."
Some Democrats on the committee
are known to be considering increas-
ing internal revenue rate from to 8
per cent on capital stock. This would
be calculated to raise approximately
$500, 100000 a year. Revision Of the
inheritance tax by increasing the rates
is also under consideration and there
has been talk of issuing treasury GER
tificates of Indebtedness to run from
one to three months at per cent in
terest, to take care of the treasury
until the end of the fiscal year.
