PUT UNIFORM ON
FIGHTERS ONLY


Washington. D. c., Jan. 10.-Cam-
outage uniforms worn by bomb
proof" soldiers in safety first" posi-
tons were denounced in the senate
today by Senator Stone of Missouri,
who declared 1t is unfair to men who
are going to do the fighting for Amer
lea that men in the army who will
never hear the sound Of guns should
wear the same uniform. Lots of them
are visible on Washington streets.
Senator Stone. speaking with refer
ence to a bill introduced by Senator
Jones of Washington, providing THAT
army officers should purchase theil
uniforms from the quartermaster's de-
partment in order to free them from
the profiteering greed of private deal
ers, urged that uniforms OF soldiers
in non-fighting branches should be
made distinctive from the clothing OF
the fighting men.
There are thousands OF men In
France and elsewhere today" Sen
ator Stone said, wearing uniforms
who never do and never expect to gel
within the sound of hostile gun.
believe that there ought to be some
distinguishing mark on uniforms te
separate the men who 60 into the
trenches with their guns and who put
their lives at stake from those who
are holding positions which keep then
out Of the zones of danger, or, as the
senator from Iowa, Mr.. Kenyon, has
suggested soto voce, bombproof posi-
lions.
81 know and you know that there
has been a clamOr and seeking aftel
these positions which are labeled
safety first"
"And with high salaries attached
to them," interjected Senator Smoo
of Utah
LAS the senator from Utah OBJ
serves" Senator Stone continued, 80
suppose he is accurate as to that.
am not advised that they receive
higher salaries or compensation thar
the men who bear the guns. But they
are wearing the same uniform and thu
same marks on their shoulders ant
upon their sleeves to show the ranl
which they hold in the army Of thu
United States.
|. Il do not believe 1t is fair to thu
men who are to fight to be put upon
par with the men who are merely tt
manage the civil administration o
war. 1 do not see any reason VIII!
this latter class of men should b
clothed with uniforms at ALL"
Senators Jones of Washington ant
Thomas of Colorado denounced pri
vate profiteering in officers uniforms
and urged legislation to end it.

PROPRIETOR FOILS
ROBBERY IN SALOON

John Erbacher. saloonkeeper, at 230
Twenty-first street, closed his place
of business at II o'clock and all was
we'll. He happened to pass his saloon
at midnight again and on the inside
saw a Negro. He quickly unlocked
the front door and entered. The Ne
gro fled through rear door without
stopping to take any goods with him.
Erbacher reported the matter to the
police, but no trace of the Negro was
found. Erbacher does not know how
the Negro secured entrance to the sa-
loon, unless he secreted himself when
the saloon was closed up for the night.

SALARIES MINOR
CHILDREN IN TAX
Must Be Included With Income Of
Father Where They Are Not
Yet Of Age, Either Sex.
POOL EARNINGS OF FAMILIES
Dividends From Stocks Not Taxable
but Must Re Included In the
Reports to Inspector.

The salaries Of minor children must
be included with that Of their nat
'ural guardian, father. according to c.
r. Manning. local income tax in
spector.
For instance. a father has son I'M
der 81 years of age, who is earning
$500 a wear and daughter under Is,
who earns $500 a year. This makes
a total OF $1,000 year. II the father,
too, earns more than $500 year, their
total salaries reach the $4,000 mark
and he must make return. He may
not be made to pay tax, but he must
notify the income tax inspector OF his
case. The interest from money held
by minor children must also be in
cluded with the fathers salary. This
case applies in some instances where
children have inherited money. which
is held in trust by the parents. In
other words the salaries of each MEM
Der of every family must be pooled,
where there are minor children en-
ployed.
Dividends from stocks are nOn-taX-
able, but the amount Of the dividend
must be included by all who make re-
turns. The amount of the dividends
should be deducted, however, before
determining the taxable income. In
cases Of dividends on stocks, the cor
porations from which they came have
already paid taxes on them. There
are so many exceptions and puZZllng
clauses in the income tax law that 1t
is we'll that all single persons earn
ing $1,000 or over and all married
persons earning $4,000 or over. call
on Mr.. Manning at his Office on the
second floor of the postotfice building
AS a penalty for making fraudulent
returns the government can levy an
additional 100 per cent on the tax, dou-
bling it. In cases where a person at
tempts to evade the law the govern
ment can assess a fine not to exceed
$4,000, one year in Jail, or BOTH
The blanks for the income tax re-
turns, expected yesterday, have not
yet arrived, but will be here in day
or two.
Employers, Take Notice.
Mr.. Manning is being given abso-
lutely no cooperation in fixing his
estimate in Rock Island. He has re-
quested repeatedly that all employers
phone his Office or call on him and
give list of their employees likely to
make returns under the income tax
law. With small employers, who have
but a few persons in their employe,
this task is a comparatively easy one.
Mr.. Manning's purpose in getting an
estimate is to get a line on the num-
Der likely to make returns here, so
that blanks can be mailed to them.
Every employer knows what salaries
are paid to his employees and knows
the names OF those likely to file. In
the end the inspector will be forced
to call in all those persons to make
returns at the Office and their employ
ers will lose their services for day
or two when they can i'll spare them.
II the employers send in the names
the blanks will be mailed to them and
no time lost.

GERMAN WOMEN
ALSO ALIEN FOES
New Legislation Planned to Include
Them In Census Of Enemies in
United States.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Enemy alien
restrictions probably will be extended
soon to German women in the United
States. Legislation to this end is be-
ing drafted, and congressional lead
ers have assured the department OF
justice that It will be enacted prompt
ly. If this is done before the week Of
Feb. 4. when a nationwide registra-
ton Of unnaturalized Germans is to
he made under supervision Of the de-
partment of justice, women probably
will be included in the enemy alien
census.
Regulations to govern the registra-
tion were sent today to police officials
Of cities and postmasters Of small
towns, to whom the active administra-
ton of the registration has been in
trusted.
OF the hundreds Of Germans who
have been interned since the United
States entered the war only six have
been paroled' permanently and 10 Civ
en- freedom for a time, 1t was disclos-
ed today by John Lord O'Brian, spe-
cial assistant to Attorney General
Gregory, in charge of war problems.
The announcement was made in refu-
tation Of widespread reports that the
government had released hundreds of
dangerous alien enemies.
In the cases of men paroled tenn
porarily it is understood the action
was taken in order that they might
obtain valuable information to aid the
government agents in ferreting out
plots or propaganda against the Unit
ed States war interests.
$50 far as known no person found
to be dangerous enemy alien, once
arrested, has ever been permanently
released" said Mr.. O'Brian "Of the
entire number arrested from time to
out the United States, less than doz-
en- have ever been the subject of sub
sequent complaints.
"a number of communications re-
ceived directed the attention of the
attorney general to the fact that un-
founded and false reports are being
circulated in some parts of the coun-
try to the effect that undue leniency
is being shown enemy aliens. Such
reports are a direct Indictment to
damage on the part of wrongdoers and
cause serious hindrance in the work
Of experimenting alien enemies.
Instead Of leniency, rigorous Sc
verify has been shown in dealing with
persons actually found by the attor-
ney general to be dangerous to the
welfare of the country. Confusion ap-
pears to have arisen, due to the inn
preston that an arrest is in itself an
internment; this is not SO. Under the
presidents proclamation the depart
ment is authorized to apprehend and
intern enemy aliens found to be dan
gerous or a menace to the safety OF
the country"
