TOWN THAT DIED
Boston Herald)

When the office of secretary of state at Augusta had received the returns from all the 525 Maine towns and cit ies, except Hurricane Isle. in Knox county, it waited as long as it's official dignity seemed to warrant and then gently prodded the delinquent town clerk The answer was prompt: As am now the only voter here it did not seem worth while to hold an el- ection-"
 Yet not long ago as the older peo- pie reckon the passing of time, Hurri- cane Isle was a town of some 800 persons and it had more than 200 vo- lers 10 take part in it's elections. As recently as the last census the popu- lation was 25s and it's voters Ss.
 The story Of declining population is an unhappily familiar one along the Maine coast, but thus far Hurricane Isle is the only town to decline to the vanishing point. The reason may be sumed up in one word-concrete. For Hurricane Isle in it's days of prosper ity was little more than great granite quarry. standing well out in the water of Penobscot bay, tho not so far out in theopen sea as Isle au Hunt or Man tincus or Criehaven From it's great cliffs Of granite well paid workmen took out the blocks that built the cus- tom house in New York, the post office in St Louis and great public and com. mercial buildings in many other cit ies. Then dawned the age of con, crete. Now Hurricane Isle has more than 15o empty dwelling houses and only one or two that are inhabited.

haved short-term prisoners in India jails a conditional remission of sen tenees and employing them as lab orers in Mesopotamia is now being conducted by the Government and is attracting wide attention Some time ago few hundred such prisoners were sent to Mesopotamia and. the trial having proved a success. several thou sand more will be started on their way to this war theater shortly. These la- bor corps are made up entirely of vol unteers and it is declared none of them will be employed near the figh- ting line.
 An official of the home department told the Associated press that the next lot of prisoner-laborers to be sent out would number between 5000 and 10000.
 The terms offered have attracted a large number of volunteers from the better class of prisoners" said this official. Tn fact. several times as many men as we are sending have asked 10 join the labor corps. The men permitted To go must have good records as prisoners and must be physically fit
 They are paid wages better than the average given in India and after they have worked for a, stated time they are paid a bonus of about a months wages and are given 8 con- plete pardon. provided their conduct has been satisfactory.
 So far as possible the prisoner-lab- orars will be treated as though they never had been inside jail. The corps are organized on much the same lines as those followed in the case of the free labor corps now employed in Mesopotamia. the chief difference be- ing that they are partly of1cered in the Indian ranks by warders. to whom they are accustomed, who have also volunteered for the purpose. All ranks are dressed and equipped in exactly the same way as members of the free porter and labor corps. but for obvious reasons the control and discipline will be little closer than in the case of the free labor corps.
 The corps will be employed iu loading and unloading sea and river craft, stacking stores. road and hut making. and the like There is, of course, no intention of taking them near the fighting line An experienc- ed inspector general of prisons will be in administrative charge of the corps.

NEW YORKS HUGE
 FEDERAL TAX SHOWN

NEW YORK CITY will contribute heavily to the expenses of the national government under the new federal .ax laws covering incomes, intuition manufacturers. corporations and cer- tain classes of business which went ] into effect recently An estimate oh- .ained at the custom house indicated l sources in 1917. in the three collection districts. would reach s16o.0o0.o00, as ] compared with about sS5.oSo, GOO last year. The increase. from to per cent. in the tax on individual incomes, the assessment on profits from manu- lecturers of munitions, and the spec ial excise tax on the capital stock Of eorporatiers will play large part in contributing this increase.
 II is estimated that the United States Steel Corporation alone will pay about $5oa000 additional in special excise taxes. and that other large corpora tions will also pay in large sums.
 The collectors of internal revenue were busy yesterday handing out blanks and furnishing information un- der the new law. II provides that un- married persons with net incomes Of S3.000 or more and married persons and heads Of families with incomes Of s4.000 or more pay normal tax Of , per cent instead of l per cent, as heretofore. But additional taxes are imposed on personal incomes exceed ing s21.011 by a graduated scale run ming from 10 per cent
 h the matter Of income taxes it is provided by the law that the re turns must be in the hands of the col lectors Of internal revenue on or be- fore March l. Failure 10 do this is punishable b. a fine of from S20 to SI.o6o. and fl the return has not been made by the time final warning is sent out by the collector. penalty Of 3 50 per cent increase in the tax ElI Be imposed. Heretofore the 3e per cent increase went into effect au- tomaucally at the expiration of the time limit The taxes must be paid on or before June 30.
 Corporations affected by the capi- tai tax law must make their returns during the present month. The first period covered will only be for six months, however, because the fiscal year Of the federal government ends with June After that. if the law is not modified. the tax will be collected for yearly periods. Failure to make returns will expose the corporations 70 a 50 per cent increase of the levy.

FAIRBANKS CITIZENS
 ORGANIZE COMPANY
Fairbanks News-Miner)


 In a state of organization for sev. eral months, announcement is made now that new transportation con- pany, the Fairbanks Transportation company, has been organized for the handling of freight from Seattle to Fairbanks. A boat is under con- struction in Seattle now and will sail to St. Michael as soon as weather con- ditions permit.
 The Fairbanks Transportation con- pany is made up of practically all of the independent merchants of the town.
 These merchants figure that they can handle their own freight more satisfactorily and at less cost to them selves than can the older transporta- tion companies. For that reason, a separate and distinct corporation has been organized and articles of in- corporation were filed this morning and the company will be in operation during the early part of the summer and thereafter.
 It is said that the most difficult prob lem that confronted the company was 10 secure the necessary ocean trans portation from Seattle to St Michael, but that .isfactory arrangements have been de now.

CLOTHES FOR BABIES

A new Red Cross activity, which is
likely to appeal to women of the rural
communities is the making of outfits
for newborn babies in France and
Belgium. A committee of the Wo-
mems Bureau of the American Red
Cross, which Went to Europe to in
vestigate civilian relief needs, made
a report in which the supplying OF
such outfits vas strongly urged. Eeaf'
let's explaining just what is needed in
the way of garments and materia
may be obtained from Red Cross
chapters.
Owing to the rough methods tina
must be followed in washing clothes IL
the war countries it is%/essential tha'
the most durable materials be used II
making garments for these baby out
fits. While the making of the outfits
will be carried on extensively in Re-
Cross chapter w~ork-rooms, the worl
is OF a character which permits mucI
of it to be done in homes; only it
necessary to follow the simple dlrec
tons. The directions, moreover, vii
be of great help to women who desir
practical suggestions for baby outfit
which are intended for home use o
for relief work in this country.

WAR DECALOGUE FOR WOME

WAR DECALOGUE FOR WOMEN
"A new decalogue of war for wo-
men has been arranged by the pro-
fessors of the University of Turin"
says DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, chair
nan of the Woman's Committee of
the Council of National Defense.
"This decalogue, like that of the
Scriptures, applies to both men and
women, and by close attention to it's
rules, everyone will be able not only
to do her part, but to do it syste-
m~atically and efficiently that there
is nc demand the government could
make that would not find US prepared
to respond at once. If every family
kept this decalogue where it could be
in view every day, it would remind
them of their duty as we'll as the glory
of sharing in the great new struggle
which we trust shall bring to us a
fulfillment of the Spirit of Him who
came to bring Peace on Earth, Coco
Will to Men,"
The decalogue is as follows:
l.. Do not chatter. Keep to yoursel,

they may seem better and less costly
than those made at home.
5. Do not look upon the departure
to the front of those dear to you as
an abandonment. Be with them con-
stantly in thought, rs they are with
you, particularly in the hour of dan
ger; and do all that you can to re-
place them in their former occupa-
tiOnS.
s. DO not complain of the difficult
ties, annoyances and privations caused
by the war. Think of those who arr
dying for their country and complain,
will halt upon your lips.
7. Multiply your activities, in your
home, as we'll as outside, thereby rem
dering yourself useful to your c%ountr!
by the work of your hands, thu
warmth of your heart, and the c~larit!
of your intelligence.
8. Exhibit day by day and hour b.
hour the same courage a man show
upon the field of battle. Instruct tn
ignorant, uphold the feeble. consol
those who are stricken; transmit you
own confidence to others.
9. No matter how long the strug
gle may last, await victory wit
strength and patience.
10. If you are stricken in you
dearest affections, bear your sorro
nobly, that your tears may be worth
of the hero whose death you mourn

AMEkICA RISES TO
FINANCIAL SUPREMACY

A1lEk1CA RISES TO
FINANCIAL SUPREMACY
Americas ascendency to financial
supremacy in the world in the brief
space Of three years, gives every pro-
mise Of continuing after peace comes
according to the annual report OF the
bureau of foreign and domestic com-
merce.
ut is probable that the demand by
European countries" the report says,
Especially Russia, France and BEL
gium, for building material, machln-
cry, railway equipment and other
construction and reconstruction ma
terial will be larger than during
the war. Much Of u new business
in South and Central America, Aus
tralia and the far east, as well as In
Africa, is expected to be permanent,
especially in view of u increased
purchases of raw materials and food
stuffs from these countries"
Steady Flow Of Gold.
Since 1914 the flow of gold has
been steadily toward the United
States in payment for this country's
goods, until o%ne-third Of the worlds
visible supply of gold is held here
Net imports of gold have amounted
in three years to $1,115,0OO,O 900 and
in addition millions of dollars worth
of American securities held abroad
have been returned here in exchange
for merchandise. Millions also have
been invested in foreign securities
and government loans and the United
States has made loans to the allied
governments amounting to $2,25O, 0OO,-
900 to the close of the fiscal year
1917.
"Three years ago the suggestion
that the United States would soon be
a creditor nation received scant re-
spect either here or abroad" the re-
port says. "No speculation is turning
on our future rank among creditor
nations"
The fiscal year 1917 was the ma
TONS greatest year in foreign trade,
due almost entirely to higher prices
and not to larger quantities.
Higher Prices General.
"That higher prices are not con-
fined to the United States, but are
general throughout the world, is
proved by the increases in the prices
of imported articles" says the re-
port.
Exports in 1917 were valued at the
unprecedented sum of 1924, 900 900
and imports were $4,000 900 900. The
exports showed an interesting feature
in the growth in sales of completed
manufactures, $2,944,00O,O0 The
tendency to increase imports of raw
materials and decrease purchases of
finished manufactures made a strik-
ing contrast on the other side of the
ledger.
"There has been a pronounced ten
dency," says the report, ''to buy
direct from the original source of
supply instead of through middlemen
as heretofore.
1T is confidently expected that our
trade with South America, the ia,
east, South Africa and with Austria.
liza will not be too seriously inter.
fered with and that we may reap il
the future the benefits of having cul
tivated those markets so assiduousl,
and intelligently during the last few
years."
