UNDER TRUCE FLAG
OUR BOYS LET FOE
BURY THEIR DEAD

NEW YORK, April 2S.-"AmerIcnn
troops showed the Germans on We'd
nesday that they could conduct a war
Just as cleanly as they showed them
on several occasions lately that they
can fight just as fiercely as anybody"
says Joseph w. Grigg in a copyright
ed dispatch from the American front
in France TO the World.
1t was decided to give the enemy
an opportunity to bury some OF his
dead in no mans land and to send
out burial parties OF our own to
search for any OF our men who had
paid the supreme sacrifice. At a GER
tain part OF the front line trenches
before Seicheprey Red Cross flag
was hoisted late in the afternoon, and
a few seconds later an American So
der who raised II popped his head
over the trench top. only 10 be imme-
diately shot At by the enemy. But he
was prepared. for our men have had
ample opportunity to see that the
Geneva conventions do not bind the
Germans TO any rules.
There was a considerable pause be-
fore the Red Cross flag was again
raised. It hoated over the trench top
for ten minutes before an American
observer once more gingerly put up
his head. This time he saw a Red
,TpHs flag floating from the enemy
n g1h, and at once the Germans
sent a burial party into no mans
land.
Sixteen Germans were soon burying
their dead, and from the American
side a small patrol entered the she'll
torn stretch between the opposing
lines. NJ shots were fired from
elth,r side iU this immediate part Of
the line until both patrols had I'm
ishcI ,he." NJ saioa. Real war began
in earnest d, ain later. When ] Wis
tied this sector OF the front there
was reciprocal artillery strahng.

MUCK USED RADIO.
SAY HIS NEIGHBORS
ONMOUNT DESERT

BANGOR, Ma. April 2s.-Residents
OF Seal Harbor, a summer resort on
the island OF Mt. Desert, eight miles
from Bar Harbor, were not surprised
when the Government interned DR..
Karl Muck, former director OF the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, as q
dangerous alien.
They had ample opportunity to OBJ
serve the activities OF DR.. Muck last
summer, when he occupied the Law
renee cottage at the HarbOr.
The Lawrence cottage, built on a
commanding height, with clear view
OF the open sea, and the owner, who
was an enthusiast on wireless teleg-
raphy, conducted there a long series
OF experiments in an effort, said to
have been at least partially success
full. TO overcome static conditions OF
the atmosphere. so that messages
could be sent in the day time as we'll
as at night. Prof. Lawrence removed
his apparatus when he rented the
house to DIR. Muck. but the elaborate
wiring OF the building yet remains,
and was remarked upon last summer
by an Observant caller.
Light Code Observed.
It was the general belief among
the cottagers that messages were
being sent from and received at the
house during the entire period OF DR..
Mack's occupancy, not only by wire
less, but also by a system OF signal
ling at night by means OF lights in
the windows facing the sea. II was
noticed by persons who made a study
OF Muck's activities that lights al
ternately appeared and disappeared,
in a sort OF code signaling fashion,
aud mariners estimated that the sig
mails could be made out at least TWEEN
sy-flve miles at sea.
Secret Service men or other agents
Of the Government searched che cot
t2ge late last summer. and also in
rumors that Dr. Muck had
been in communication with vessels
OF the hsrbor by means OF boats.
when one night last August the
OF DR.. Dakin. OF New York,
an eminent chemist. was entered and 4
quantity Of a new serum taken. the
theft was laid to a woman whose hus-
band had been employed as caretaker
on the Dakin place. The woman hated
cats. and next day six or
seven dogs and several cats were
found dead.
Laboratory Interests Muck.
1t now Is believed that the serum
was taken by some one with more i'm
portant purposes than the killing of
dogs and cats. II was a preparation
for the treatment OF wounds that has
been used with great success in the
military hospitals in France and Eng
land OF late. and DR.. Dakin. with his
friend DR.. Durham. spent much time
in experimenting before the correct
was obtained
II is now known that DR.. Muck was
very anxious to find out what was go
ing or in the laboratory.
Several OF the Seal Harbor people
have been interviewed by Government
agents. and at least one has been sum
to Washington In connection
with DR.. Muck's case.

Frank had posed as the widow OF
Alfred G. Roth, OF Chicago, late hus-
band OF the plaintiff, white she was
in New Orleans, was another state
ment made by Mrs Roth.
Mrs. Frank had the unique distinc-
ton OF living with two alleged hus-
bands in the same apartment and
with each man sharing the knowl-
edge OF their relationship, The plain
tin testified during the cross exami-
nation. She averred that Mrs. Frank
had paid $500 rental for a suite in
the St. Charles Hotel at New Orleans
for several weeks in 1914. This SEN

SOLDIERS ARE
PLEASED WITH
TREATMENT HERE
Fighting Men En- Route Over There
Have Fond Remembrance OF
Treatment in Maysyille.

That our soldier boys appreciate
good treatment is attested by the sew
eral letters being received by local
women who some time ago met
troop train passing through the city
while 1t was laying at the local sta
ton and gave the soldiers cigarettes,
fruit and a good time all the while
their train was standing here.
Several of the women gave the SOL
diers their addresses and asked that
they write them. The soldiers as
sured the women that as soon as they
we're located and knew their address
es they would write them so that the
women might occasionally drop them
a note of encouragement.
Yesterday some of these women re-
ceived letters from the soldiers and
the following paragraphs are taken
from the letters to show the great APP
probation of these young men for the
splendid treatment they received
while here.
One of the officers said in part:
y-Maysville-and a very
fond rornefrance of both. Our man
we're very nearly spoiled after we
left you people at the station-the
good time was all too short. A good
warm handshake, slap on the back,
word of cheer and few smiles give
us cheer to carry us on. l am sure
that the fond membranes of that
night will go across with u.s."
Another member OF the company
said:
ITO do unto others is very good
thing in the way in which 1t was for
merly used but when you do as the
good people of Maysville did it takes
ON an entirely different way in which
to explain itself.
an our whole trip from FIT. Thomas
to this camp your town was the only
one which went to any trouble at al
and. as one of the boys said, that was
typical Kentucky hospitality we sure
have some way by which to remember
Maysville, Kentucky"
These expression from the soldier
bows who were given "just a little
lift" on their way to the coast arr
worth many times the cost OF TIM
little trouble the women of Maysvill'
were put to in preparing for them
The women are very enthusiastic an

INTERNAL REVENUE
TAXATION IS HEAVY
Millions More Than Was Estimated
and Mostly Paid With Patriotic
PrOmptness.

Washington, July 2--Internal reve-
nue. collections for the fiscal year
which ended June 80 totaled $3,672,-
100000 compared with 100000, 900
the year before and with $3,400,000,-
900 which It was estimated the war
revenue measures passed by Congress
last fall would yield.
Internal Revenue Commissioner
Roper, in announcing these figures,
estimated that the cost to the Gov
eminent of making the collection was
$12,000000, and disclosed that the
bureau force of 1000 employees had
been doubled during the year.
National patriotism and solidarity
engendered by the war has contrib
uted largely to our success" said the
Commissioners statement. 1.-THE way
in which taxpayers have generally as
| sisted and co-operated has been a
constant source OF inspiration. l be-
lieve the NE jority Of honest taxpayers
in this country now understand and
appreciate more than ever the meth
DDS and detectives of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, and will be most eff
fective in assisting us in our cam
paign for delinquent taxpayers, as
well as those who have filed defec-
tive returns. 1t is our purpose to
equalize the tax burden by collecting
from every person and industry the
full amount of tax that is due the
! Government and not one cent more
and on the other hand. to return any
excessive taxes that may have beer
collected.
"Our efforts could not have beer
successful without the cooperation o
