ing, and everyone on the tiptoe of
expectation.
The reports brought back of the
last cruise were of the best. 1t
had been comparatively quiet and
the transports had been brought
through without sign of a subma-
rine. In fact it was so promising
the previous Sunday that the COM
mander of the fleet remarked they
were going to have a quiet day.
But at 8 in the morning there
was an alarm, with all the gun
and torpedo crews springing to
thei1 posts, and after that four sue
cessive alarms through this quiet
day, though none of the alarms
developed into an actual attack.
1t showed, however, the steady
tension eve when conditions look
ed best, for it was known that hos
tile craft had been lurking off the
beach rocks near the mouth of the
harbor, and one of our big repair
ships had been attacked as 1t came
in a few weeks ago.

Thiaucourt until they were driven
out by the Americans in the smash

ened their stay in the little French
village by consuming large quanti-
ties of French wines which they
confiscated from the cellars of the

various kinds of wine.
The advance guard Of the Ger

to the wine. Later the greater
part of it was shipped back to Ger

army.

ON BOARD AN AMERICAN DE-

Nov. s. = An American destroyer
with her depth bombs ready to be

craft to monkey with. She is a

to any other craft with which she
might collide in the darkness, run

Revenue Commissioner Roper Pre-
pairing for Drive i'm January
and February
EDUCATIONAL MOVEMENT
Is NOW BEING PLANNED
Eight Billion Dollars Will BE Raised
From Ten Million
Persons

WASHINGTON, ID. u, NOV. IL
The same spirit of enthusiasm and
cooperation which attended the
Fourth Liberty loan and much the
same methods, including advertis-
ing in newspapers and local propa-
ganda campaigns, are planned as
features of the nations next great
financial task. the collection of
about $4,000, 600, 200 in taxes next
year.
Internal Revenue Commissioner
Roper is making preparations for
a great drive in January and Febru-
airy to get the 10, 100000 persons
who probably will be subject direct
ly to government taxes to file their
returns early, accurately and will
lingly.
Even with our great tax gath
ering machinery already built up in
collection districts throughout the
country" said Commissioner Roper,
1--WE cannot gather $4,000 900, 900
of taxes without the hearty coop
Grafton of the people who pay. 1t
must and will be their job as much
as that of the government authori-
ties"
On this principle a great educa-
tional movement is being planned,
without waiting for congress to
enact finally the evenu bill which
will determine just how much tax is
to be collected, and from what
source it is to come.
Business men in every communi-
ty, banks, chambers of commerce,
trade, farmers and labor organiza-
tions, churches, lodges, schools and
other organizations will be asked to
undertake to show citizens precisely
how to figure their taxes, what de-
auctions for income r permissible,
how their business records should
be kept to provide the best guides
for tax reports, and how to make
intelligent returns, giving neither
less nor more than is expected un-
der the law.
By such. a system, officials hope
to minimize tax e~vasions. But to
guard against the inevitable slack
ing, information will be sought
through these channels to be used
in checking up returns and ascer-
tanning beyond a doubt when re-
turns are true.
Newspapers will be relied on to
publish informative articles on how
to make returns to be supplied
both from Washington revenue bu-
reau headquarters and by district
collectors.
There will also be considerable
display advertising appealing to
individuals and business enterpris-
es to pay taxes with the same spir-
1T the nation displays in making
war. These advertisements will
be paid for by business interests,
atcing voluntarily, and not by the
government, and advertising clubs
Will assist. This is the method
employed during the Liberty Loan
campaigns.
