Object to Being Given Orders by An Alien and He Has Been
 Recalled.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-A Reuter- dis patch from Berlin by way of Amster- dam says Admiral Souchon, com mander in chief of the Mediterran- can division, who, during the war, has also commanded the Turkish forces in the Mediterranean, has been recalled and will be entrusted with other duties.
 According to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Amsterdam, Admiral Souchon's recall was due to Turkish officers objecting to being command ed by an alien officer.
 The recent visit of Talaat Bey and other Turkish officials to Ger many was to secure the recall of the Admiral and the reorganization of the Turkish fleet under Turkish officers.

THE STACKER MARRIAGES

Announcements as to the meaning of eleventh hour marriages upon the situation of registered men have indicated vacillaton in the office of Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder upon a point that should have been made clear the draft law was enacted and long before men called for the first ncre- ment of the draft army enrolled as between the maximum and minimum ages.
 Obviously all marriages contracted after the reg istraton in which the bridegroom figures as a man asking exemption because of the dependency of his wife. marriages entered upon in the hope of defeating the draft law. So complete is the pubcs knowledge of the conditions under which the army is being raised that few young are in ignor. ance of the fact that men between the maximum and minimum who are ablebodied expected to be ready for military service. The young woman who aids a stacker in his effort to evade service incurring dependency upon him in expectation of his pleading her dependency reason for exemption deserves no consideration. Morally regarded her action is reasonable. Socially regarded her mar. riage is a union lacking the moral quality that

Convict Labor Is
Failure In Nevada

Convict labor on Nevada farms has
proven a failure. according to re-
ports from Smith Valley, where &c
or more prisoners were given a try
out. The company that engaged the
prisoners was to pay the State $1.5C
per day for each man. very small
portion of which was to be placed to
the credit of the prisoner. We are
prone to forget that felon has the
same feeling as any human. and it is
not natural for them to dig in and
work as hard as a free man who is
earning $3.50 per day for the same
kind of work. But three of the ~
or more men delivered anything like
days work, and those three es-
capped at the first opportunity and
are still at large.
Leasing of prisoners has been given
trial in many States. and as far as
is known has never been a success,
and the recent experiment in Neva-
da adds another failure to the list

EXEMPTIONS FURTHER REDUCED

Washington. Aug. "a ruling is
sued to-day by the post Office depart
ment shows that department officials
will make few requests for the ex-
emption of postal employees from
military service. Postmasters are
instructed not to ask exemption for
carriers or laborers or for clerks in
second class Offices below the $1,000
grade; clerks in first class Offices be-
low the $1,000 grade or any above
these grades unless they are qualified
distributors of mail.
The mail carriers force. number
ing thousands of men of whom con-
siderable percentage are within the
draft age limits, is excluded from
exemption except for physical rea-
sons or because of dependent families.
Every portion of the country is
reached by the ruling, as even the
rural carriers are included.
The departments ruling leaves
railway mail clerks within the ex-
emption classes. as they are highly
trained distributors.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
took steps to-day to reduce the num-
Der of exemptions because of de-
pendent families. Instructions were
sent out that the minimum pay of
soldiers is now $50 a month, and that
local boards must consider whether a
mans dependents could not be sup
ported on that amount.

SINGLE TAX MAY Be
USED TO WIN WAR

Washington. August 6.-Single
tax has now been brought into the
foreground of the long list of ideas
nut forward in Congress to help win
the war. Senator James Hamilton
Lewis. the Democratic whip of the
Senate, has offered a measure de-
signed to levy a heavy federal tax
upon all unused lands throughout
the United States. not merely as a
means of helping to raise the enor-
nous revenue needed for war pur-
poses, but also to force increased
cultivation to stimulate food produc-
tion.
Senator Lewis proposal would levy
a federal tax upon unused land
equivalent to the local and State tax
now levied upon such lands. He es-
timated that the tax would yield full
ly $100, 900. 900 to the Federal Gov
eminent annually and would help
greatly to meet the deficit caused by
the recent prohibition enactments Of
Congress.
The single tax is one of many
methods proposed to make use of the
vast areas of unused lands through
out the country, particularly in the
west. Senator Borah, of Idaho. has
frequently urged the Federal Gov
ernment to push the reclamation and
irrigation of millions of acres which
he believes could produce foodstuffs
far in excess of the needs of this
country and the allies and solve the
whole problem of food shortage.
Discussing his plan, and pointing
out itsnumerous advantages. Senator
Lewis said:
THE proposal as to the tax upon
the unoccupied and uncultivated
lands. as rendered by me. Is for the
purpose of forcing the uncultivated
lands of this country to be cultivated
and to bring forth food to the people
of our country and for the soldiers
of our armies. That which is not
cultivated will now bring a tax upon
the basis that my proposal provides,
equal to $100. .0O0. 600. and will take
that tax off personal property, inher-
itances and incomes and make up the
deficit created by the operation of
the prohibition enactments.
ut will also prevent lying idle vast
acres of land throughout the country
which are being held for speculation,
depending upon the rise of values
upon adjacent land that is cultivated
by the industry of others. This pro-
posal will apply to country and city
alike. and will force the immediate
