 COMING, SEE HIM
Will Be In Prescott From Jan. 21 To Jan. 31, Inclusive, To As sist All Persons Subject to the Income Tax Law.

He will have an ample supply of income tax forms, ren- deripg 1t unnecessary for taxpay- CTS who shall call upon him to ask for forms from this office, or for you to ask for them in ad- vance of his arrival. Inasmuch as his stay at Prescott will be limited to the dates specified and will not be returned to your county tor city) again, 1t is of the utmost importance that all prospective taxpayers take ad- vantage of his presence there by calling upon him on one of the dates suggested, the earlier the date the better.
 Every single person who has an income over S1, 100000 and every married person who has an income over $2, 100000 is liable for a United States income, tax and must assess before March 1st, 1918.

If he fails to re- port his income when due he thereby subjects himself to pen- alties ranging from $20 to $l 900 fine or imprisonment.
 Respectfully,
 Jack Walker. Collector.

FROM THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Let there be no misunder- standing. Our present and i'm mediate task is to win the war, and nothing shall turn us aside from it until 1t is accomplished. Every power and resource we possess. whether of men. of money, or of material, is being devoted and will continue to be devoted to that purpose until it is achieved. =. =. =.
 We shall regard the war as won only when the German peo- pie say to us, through properly accredited representatives, that they are ready to agree to set clement based upon justice and the reparation of the wrongs their rulers have done.
 When this intolerable Thing, this German power, IS, indeed, defeated and the time come that we can discuss peace-When the German people have spokesmen whose words we can believe and when those spokesmen are ready in the name of their people to ac cept the common judgment of the nations as to what shall henceforth be the bases of law and of covenant for the life of the world-we shall be willing and glad to pay the full price fol peace and pay it ungrudgingly. We know what that price will be. It will be full, impartial justice Justice done at every point anC to every nation that the fina settlement must affect our enc. mics as well as our friends. "

Lawyers Open Argument
 in Trial of Miss Lusk

Waukesha, Wis, May 28.-Assailing pr. David R. Roberts as the man who might have prevented the shooting of his wife, but did not" Henry Lockney today made the opening argument for the defense in the trial of Grace Lusk for the staying of Mrs Mary Newman Roberts.
 The story told by the veterinarian on the witness stand, his repeated declara- tions that Miss Lusk pursued him, slapped him in the face when he refused to say that he cared more for her than he did for his wife, and threatened to kill him unless he told his wife the truth and ask for his freedom, was quoted as proof that the defendant was insane at the time of the tragedy.
 In assailing pr. Roberts, MT Lockney reviewed Miss Lusk's life. and declared that such woman would be incapable of the acts alleged if she were sane.
 'Dr. Roberts is not on trial-yet," de- clared D. S. Fuller, whose address for the state preceded that of MT. Lock- ney. Tullar declared that Miss Lusk deserved the verbal assault of Mrs. Rob- erts when the two met, and argued that the defendants actions and words after the tragedy indicated that she was in full possession of her mental faculties, realized what she had done and only sought to take her own life in an effort to ''cheaF the law

London Daily Mail Offers 10000 Pounds in Prizes
 for Riveting Records

London. May 2s.-The Daily Mail offers 10000 pounds sterling as prize money for competition among the workers on merchant shipbuilding yards in Great Britain and Ireland. The con- test will be based on the percentage of time actually worked according to the total possible number of working hours.
 London, May 2S.-An attempt to es : tablish record for hand riveting at the shipyard of J. Crichton & Co.,, at Saltney, near Chester, was stopped by officials of the Boilermaker's society. according to the Daily Mail. This ac- tion was taken after riveting squad had driven 2125 five-eighths s-inch steel rivets into the frames for ships in six and half hours.
 The stoppage is believed to have re- suited from the circular sent by Sec retary Hill of the Boilermaker's socie- ty to branches declaring that riveting contests must be stopped and that members taking part in them would be dealth with by the society.

LEONARD WOOD
 DISSATISFIED WITH
 HIS NEW COMMAND
PrOtege of Roosevelt Wants to See Service in France. Conference With the
 President

Washington, May 2S.-Maj. Gen Leon ard Wood, former chief of staff, whose detachment from command of the na- tionai army division he trained for serv ice in France became known yesterday. spent half an hour atN the White House today in conference with President Will son. The call was arranged at the of ficers request by Secretary Baker. No announcement on the subject was made either at the White House or by General Wood, but the generals friends say he wanted to tell the President in person that as senior officer of the reg serve to the best of his ability in what ever post he was assigned to fill To a large group of newspaper correspond ents who greeted him as he left the White House. General Wood would say only that he was a soldier and would obey any orders given him.
 There is no conceament of the fact that the general is greatly disappointed over his failure to proceed to France for serv- ice with his division at the front. He also is disturbed over the idea of set ting down to the routine duties of departmental commander, and Secretary Baker today confirmed the report that he had asked for more active assign ment than the command of the western department to which he has been or dered. This request has been referred to General March, chief of staff, and it is said to be probable that General Wood will be given his old post at Camp F'uns- ton to train another division. MT. Baker refused to make any statement concern the detachment of General Wood be- yond pointing out that other officers of high rank, including Major General Bell, second only to General Wood on the regular army list, had been detached similarly and without explanation after passing the physical tests for overseas service.
 The reference to General Bell at tracted attention because it has been gen. orally understood that General Bell did not go to France because his name did not appear on General Pershings list of divisional commanders who would be ac- ceptable to him. In this connection it was suggested that the war department had not given General Wood notice earlier that he would not be permitted to go over with his division until the last mo- ment because of desire to give Gen. eral Pershing every oppbftunity to for ward his name as among those accepta- ble for service at the front
 Army opinion apparently is unanimous that the expeditionary commander must be given unquestioned support and con- fidence so long as he is retained as com mander-in-chef of the American forces in France It has frequently been said that if an occasion arose where the rec ommendations of General Pershing were to be overruled by the department. the necessity would arise at once for his re- call and the assignment of the task u someone else.

 Everything had been prepared for such movement in case of necessity, and the troops retired fighting foot by foot, until joined by their reserves farther back. the local reserves cov- ering the retirement of their comrades before the German masses.
 As the troops fell back with virtual ly all of their guns and material, they took up positions already prepared where they awaited the arrival of rein forcements. which were rapidly coming.
 Very strong enemy columns about o'clock in the morning came through the plain to the east of Craonne and around Juyincourt. and the allied troops. after the overwhelming nature of the enemy's forces was perceived carried out the order to retire across the Aisne to their principal defensive positions.
 Craonne fell. leaving the remainder of the Chemin- des- Danes open to a flank attack.
