CORPORAL SAVISCKI WRITES.
If 1t Wasn't For the Censor He Could
Tell Some Interesting Things.

Corporal Longe Saviscki Of Com
pany E, 1929 Regiment, American
Expeditionary Force, writes a brief
and interesting letter to a local
friend, in which he intimates that in
teresting things might be told con-
corning conditions "over there" if tho
censor would raise the ban. He also
promises his friend that a letter in
the near future will contain some in
teresting data.
The letter follows: 4
Somewhere in France,
March 9, 1918.
Dear Friend:
My new position at present is a
dispatch courier, being detached from
Company E to regimental headquar-
ters, and I like it very much. Well
things are about the same as usual
lover herein fact that is all we
can say. There has been a lot Of
strange things happening since I last
wrote you but owing to the censor I
will not be able to state it in this let
ter. It certainly is pretty tough for
us to write a letter with the strict
rules placed against us by the censor,
but we try our best to write COOS
letter.
We'll, we have been having some
pretty nice weather the last month or
so up to two or three days ago which
has been rather stormy but we don't
mind q little thing like that as we
are <;ed to being out in all kinds of
weather so 1t doesn't matter to us
whether 1t is raining or showing, al
though we would much prefer having
the sunny days.
"I have received the French book;
it will help me out quite a good deal.
OF course, you know T am no expert
at speaking 1t or understanding it,
but can speak it a little and under
stand enough to get by.
''Wel1, this Is about all T have to
say at the present time, SO I think T
will have to bring this letter to a
close. Will have an interesting let
ter for you in the near future. Kind
ly give my best regards to all. Hope
I will be able to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
corporal LONGE SAVICSKI,
Company E, 1929 Regt."

PRESIDENT URGES :. BlGGtR WAR TAX
 ON BROTHERS
Declares New Revenue Leg islation Is An Impera-
 tive Necessity.

Washington, May 27.-President Wilson personally took charge of the war tax tangle situation today and, appearing unexpectedly before a point session of Congress, declared it was necessary tc proceed immediately with the war tax laws.
 Plans which might have delayed the work but which involved work ing agreement between both parties, have fallen through, the President told the legislators, and there was no way to meet the problem of financing the war but to have Congress to re- main in session and gc ahead at once.
 The President called upon Congress to eliminate politics from the consid- eration. Politics, he said, is adjourned.
 The principal increases in taxation the President said, should be on in- comes, war profits and luxuries.
 It would be manifestly unfair, the President said, to wait until 1919 be- fore determining what the new taxes would be. The Presidents address was comparatively brief, taking less than 15 minutes for delivery
 In specific terms the President gave distinct warning against lob bying in connection with the new bill There is indisputable evidence of prefiteering at present, the President said, and he declared it must be reach ed by the new legislation.
 "Profiteering that cannot be got al by restraints of conscience" said the President, "can be got at by taxa. tion."
 "Therc need be no hesitance in tax. ing the country" the President tolo Congress, eff it were taxed justly He appealed to Congress to approach the great task without selfishness o1 fear of political consequences.

A Fairyland Mine.

To the EineralUgist the Copper Queen mine of Bisbee, -Ariz, has been for many years kind of fairyiand, lime minerals, of much variety and marvellous beauty of specialization and coloring. A recently opened cavern or grotto, filled with stalactites and stalagmiteS of delicate green and blue tints, was brought to the notice of Dr, E. o. Hovey before destruction by the miners, and this made possible the transfer of the section of the forma- fiOn that Is now set up among the wonders of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The grotto thus preserved, in space II feet high and 10 feet square, is lined with some 50 boxes Of carefully col lected and restored cave material, the outside being roughly built up of lime stone blocks. One stalagmite of the mine cave had been deposited to q height of nearly 14 feet by water drp- ping for an estimated period of 2o,000 years.

Wasting One's Time.

It is probable that large per cent of the money paid for work in all em, ployments, public and privarc, is vast ed in idins, talking, smoking and foo'' ing around. It can be noticed every day everywhere. It ls bad symptom says the Ohio State Journal There is no difference between stcN!ng ones time and stealing ones money. Peo pie are not in the habit of looking at 1t that way They think it is noting to take ten minutes of mans time for which he is raid three to ten dol lars a day. If one remembers the olG adage that time Is money, he will con' clude he is thief if he takes either. Character consists in making honest use Of ones time, whether he works on q salary or by the minute. It IS character that he insist upcn, not so much the economy involved as the no bility of seifhood. That should be th& vessure Of every true man.
 Tradition and Good soots.
 Good books, like. well-built houses. must have tradition behind them writes Henry Seidel Canby in the Yale Review. The Homers and Shake speares and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like native trees that grow so we'll no' where else. The little writers--hacks, who aentimentalize to the latest order, and display their plot novelties like bargains or an advertising page-are just as traditional. The only differ ence is that their tradition goes back to books instead of life. Middle-sized authors-the very good and the prob- ably enduring-are successful largely because they have gripped tradition nnG followed 1t through to contcm' porary life. That is what Thackeray did in "Vanity Tair," Howells in "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar- ton iE "The House of Mlrth." But back-tunature books-bcth sound ones and those shameless exposures of the private emotions of ground-kogs and turtles that call themselves nature books-are the most traditional of all. For they plunge directly into what might be called the adventures Of the American sul'coDscicusDess-

Modern Poetry.

Poetry, like every great force, has followed an evolution of its own. and as 1t comes to us today we may trace In 1t this general tendency. It has tended away from the epic and the ex- pression of broad communal or na- tional feeling, and expresses now far more than 1t did. in far more subtle and intricate directions, the feelings of the individual. If 1t gives voice on public, national or International events 1t does so from far more specialized and personal point of view than of ole, and with something of the acerbity and narrow intellectual outlook of tho party politician. The strength o3 mod. ern poetry hardly seems to Nc fos the tuturs in this direction
 Why Flour Expiodes.
 Records of the last ten years show that about twenty explosions have oc- cured in cereal, flour and feed mills, with the loss of S2,0OO,O0O worth Of property, as well as the killing or in turing of over two hundred employees Investigations regarding the causes of these explosions and subsequent fires have not proved exclusively what arc the difficulties to be avoided. In eight cases the explosions are believed to have originated from the sparks pro- duced in the machines during the grinding process. Tiny particles of gravel or metallic substances coming Into contact with the plates of the na- chine may produce enough sparks to ignite the dust within sthe machine. l Another possible cause for cereal dust explosions suggested Is the use of naked flames.

TWO SIDES TO COMMUNISM.
Experience of An Austrian Banker
With the BOISheYiki.

Amsterdam, Sept. 25 Correspond
ence of The Associated Press)-The
experience of an austrian banker with
Bolshevik methods, when he made a
business trir 20 East Russia, recently
is the talk of the Vienna bourse, ad-
vices received here state.
The banker was arrested and in
termed. Disguised as peasant, he
escaped with 10000 rubles in his pos
session. He fell in with company Of
I3olsheviki who. despite his protests
took and divided the contests cf his
pockets.
Share and share alike is the rule
here" they explained, handing him
back his share which was only
tenth of mis- capital.
Soon, though. his fortunes took &
turn for the better. He fell in with
another band which added to its
ranks a ragged individual from whose
pockets 100000 roubles was extract
ed. Thus sum was pooled and care
fully divided and the banker receiv-
ed fat share. Eventually. he return
ed to Vienna with 10000 roubles.
There are two sides to COM
munism,' he now says.
