NETT, Gertrude, Anna and Ruth An
infant daughter, born several hours
before the mothers death, was chris
tened Mary Weik. Besides her hus-
band and the children named, she
leaves two sisters: Mrs. Linn Chand-
Ter and Miss Mary Weik, both of
Bonne Terre; two brothers: Leo of
Washington, and Fred of st. Louis,
and host of more distant relatives.
The summons came to her at 11:15
Tuesday morning, Dec. 3, 1918, and
without a murmur or even a good-bye
to her loved ones the heart ceased
beating, and the spirit returned to
God who gave it.
In the passing of Mrs. Richardson,
we who knew her realize that there is
gone from among US rarely beauti-
full character; she was indeed one of
Gods true women-kind, patient and
always ready with word of appre-
citation. She loved her church, of
which she was ever loyal member.
and Will be missed there as we'll as by
wide circle of friends; but most of
all by the husband, children and Sis
ters, to whom she was so devoted.
She was ever their true friend. To
her they went with their troubles, and
by her good counsel they were always
made better; for no desire of theirs
was ever considered unworthy of her
best efforts.
Mrs. Richardson possessed a rare
faculty for friendships. She not only
held to the old friends, but because of
her kind and sympathetic way sk
was forever adding the new. Her
friends always found her the same
thoughtful, helpful woman, very
thorough and painstaking, and always
ready to overlook faults in others.
To the bereaved family, let us say
that such beauty of character does
not die with the body but will live on
in the thoughts of friends.
The funeral services were conducted
in the Catholic churchyard by Rev.
Father Moser, and interment made in
the Catholic cemetery.
A FRIEND.

WAR TAX BALLS HEAVILY
UPON CORPORATIONS

Washington, d. c., Dec. 6.---Direct
taxes fell heavily on corporations and
on persons having large incomes, and
lightly on the great majority of per-
sons earning less than $1,000 year,
it was shown today by the annual re-
port Of Internal Revenue Commission
er Daniel G. Roper, for rhe yearsend-
ing June 30. sAithough 2,319,G00 per-
sons with incomes of $4,000 or less in
1917 filed returns, including many
heads of families having incomes
ranging from $1,000 to S2,0tC which
were reported but not taxable, they
were assessed only S222, 1885, 900 in the
aggregate, or less than $40 each. On
the other hand, G65,U00 individuals
with incomes of more than $1,000
were assessed S592 ISIS 900.
Corporation excess profits taxes Of
$2,045, 10000 came from III ,0OD con-
Germs, while 218,000 corporations we're
assessed income taxes Of $48, ,lT5.00G.
Sources Of Big Revenue
Other assessments by classes were
as follows: Insurance companies in
come taxes, 2,100 returns, $3,072 900;
railroad companies income taxes, A.
096 returns, $29,878,000; individuals
subject to excess profits tax, $1,000
returns, $88,731 ,000;; partnership ex-
cess profits tx, 37,500 returns, $685.
125,000; munition manufacturers,
2,248 returns, $9,418,000. Actual
collections figures differed slightly
from the assessments.
Revised reports on collections show
that 1894, ,619, 900 was collected from
internal revenue, including $2,S38, ,999-
900 from income and excess profits
taxes; $317,553,00O from distilled
spirits, $126,285,0 900 from fermented
liquors.; total of $443, 1888, 900 from
all liquors, and 56,188,000 from to-
bacco.
New Era of Taxation
The year 1918 marked the beginning
because the bulks came from income
and profits taxes rather than from
liquor, as in previous years. In 1914
under the first income tax law, only
16 per cent of total internal revenue
collections were from incomes and ex-
cess profits taxes, whereas in 1918 rs
per cent came from these sources.
The Commissioner explained how the
bureau had sought advice of business
interests in administering taxes last
year to minimize the difficulties in re-
porting and assessing taxes, and said
this policy would be continued.
During the year, 2,238 illicit liquor
distilleries were seized, mainly in
Southern States. North Carolina
had one-third of the total.

wen III France
| Of the total strength of the Expedi-
tionary Force, Pershing reports:
"There are in Europe altogether,
including a regiment and some sani-
tary units with the Italian Army and
the organizations at Murmansk, also
including these en- route from the
States, approximately 2,053,347 men,
less our losses. Of this total there
are in France 1,338,169 combatant
troops. Forty divisions have arrived,
of which the infantry personnel of 10
have been used as replacements, leav-
ing 30 divisions now in France organ
lied into three armies of three corps
each"
Of their equipment, he says:
"Our entry into the war found us
with few of the auxiliaries necessary
for it's conduct in the modern sense.
Among our most important def
ciencies in material were artillery,
aviation and tanks. In order to meet
our requirements as rapidly as pos
sible we accepted the offer of the
French Government to provide US with
the necessary artillery equipment of
75s, one 55-millimcter howitzer and
one 55 G. P. F. gun from their own
factories for 80 divisions. The wis
dom of this course is fully demon
strated by the fact that although we
soon began the manufacture of these
classes of guns at home, there were
no guns of the calibers mentioned
manufactured in America on our
front at the date the armistice was
signed. The only guns of these types
produced at home thus far received in
France are 109 75-millimeter guns.
"In aviation we were in the same
situation, and here again the French
Government came to our aid until our
own aviation program should be under
way. We obtained from the French
the necessary planes for training our
personnel, and they have provided us
with total of 2,676 pursuit, observa-
tion and bombing planes. The first
airplanes received from home arrived
in May and altogether we have re-
ceived 1879. The first American
squadron, completely equipped by
American production, including air.
planes, crossed the German lines on
August Z, 1918. AS to tanks, we were
also compelled to rely upon the
French. Here, however, we were
less fortunate, for the reason that the
French production could barely meet
the requirements of their own armies.
French Are Liberal
ut should be fully realized that the
French Government has always taken
a most liberal attitude and has been
most anxious to give US every possi-
BILE assistance in meeting our de-
ficiencies in these as well as in other
respects. Our dependence upon
France for artillery, aviation and
tanks was, of course, due to the fact
that our industries had not been ex-
clusively devoted to military produc-
ton. All credit is due our own man
ufacturers for their efforts to meet
our requirements, as at the time the
armistice was signed we were able to
look forward to the early supply Of
all our necessities from
our own factories"

AS the young man made nc answer, ex-
cept to stare at him in a white agony
OF suspense, he sighed:
Il will tell you all I know-which
isn't much. Esteban Varona came to
me soon after he and his sister had
fled from their home; he wanted to
Join my forces, but we were harassed
on every side, and I didn't dare take

dured the hardships we suffered. So
/ convinced him that his first duty was
to her, rather than to his country, and
he agreed. He was a fine boy! He

rifles and armed a band of his own

near about him. Nobody cared to

well, Esteban put an end to him
after a while; rode right up to La
Joya one night, broke in the door, and
macheted the scoundrel in his bed. But
there was a mistake Of some sort. 1t
seems that a body Of Cobo's volun-
teers were somewhere close by, and
the two parties met. I have never
learned all the details of the affair, and
the stories Of that fight which came to
me are too preposterous for belief.
Still, Esteban and his men must have
fought like demons, for they killed
some incredible number. But they
Ewere human-they could not defeat a
regiment. 1t seems that only one or
two Of them escaped"

gravely: "Cobo takes no prisoners. /

and there was nobody left in the Yu-
muri it was a DESERT"
"Then you don't know positively that

"Wait. There is no doubt that the

CHAPTER XIII,
The City Among the Leaves and the
g. City of Begqars.


The night was moonless and warm.
An impalpable haze dimmed the star
glow, only the diffused illumination of
the open sea enabled the passengers
of the Fair Play to identify that
blacker darkness IN the horizon ahead
Of them as land. Major Ramos was on
the bridge with the captain. Two men
were taking %soundings in a blind
search for that steep wall which forms
the side of the old Bahama channel.
When the lead finally gave them warn
ing, the Fair Play lost her Roadway
and came to a stop, rolling lazily.
Major Ramos spoke in q low tone
from the darkness above, calling for a
volunteer boats crew to reconnoiter
and to look for an opening through the
reef. Before the words were out of
his mouth O'Reilly had offered him
self. w.: :, s.>. .s...n d. ~..--,
Ten minutes later he found himself
at the steering a Of one Of the ships
lifeboats, heading ~shoreward. There
was a long nights work ahead; time
passed, and SO O'Reilly altered his
course and cruised along outside the
white water, urging his crew to lustier
strokes.
= a mile-two miles-it seemed like
ten to the taut oarsmen, and then a
black hiatus Of still water showed in
phosphorescent foam. O'Reilly x.
plored it briefly; then he turned back
toward the ship. Soon he and his crew
were aboard and the ship was cropping
her way toward the break in the reef.
Meanwhile, her deck became a scene
of feverish activity out from her hold
came cases Of ammunition and medical
supplies; the f1eldpiece on the bow was
hurriedly dismounted; the small boats,
of which there was ar extra number,
were swung out, with the result that
when the Fair Play had Unanswered
as close as she dared everything was
in readiness.
O'Reilly took the first load through,
and discharged 1t upon a sandy beach.
Every man tumbled overheard and
waded ashore with a packing case; he
dropped this In the sand above high
tide mark, and then a back for an
other. 1t was swift, hot works From
the darkness on each side came the
sounds of other boat csews similarly
engaged.
Daylight was coming when the last
boat cast off and the Fair Play, with
a hoarse, triumphant blast of her
whistle, faded into the north, her part
in the expedition at an end.
Dawn showed the voyagers that they
were indeed fortunate. for they were
