KAISER BILL ON HIS WAY To-
HADES?

Uncle Bill" Schooler gets real
wrothy in The Somerset News Over
the continued presence on earth of
Kaiser Bill, and takes it out on his
readers in this manner:
Nearly every exchange that comes
to our desk has been burdened with
lengthy articles about Kaiser Bill, of
Germany, and the devil. The articles
in question run from an expose of
personal correspondence between
these gentlemen, to Willie's trip IL
hell; and, subsequent revolution
brought about down there by afore-
said visit. We are going to ease q
lot of minds, and put quietus on tn 2
whole row, by stating positively,
that Kaiser Bill mad been consigned
to hell months ago by The News
man. So, whoy worry about what he
and the devil be doing?"

SOLDIERS CARD INDEXED.

Every soldier is card indexed. In
that way Uncle Sam will keep track
of every soldier, sailor and civilian
attached in any way to his armed
forces. The card index will permit
prompt handling of all casualty lists.
Not only will we over here know who
over there has been hurt or slain, but
we will know where that American
boy lived and his nearest living rela-
tives. This system will do a lot to.
ward heading off the wave of casu
atty lies which pro-German propa-
gandists spread in America. The card
index plan makes it impossible for
any soldier to be wounded, captured
or slain without his nearest rela-
tives being promptly notified. If no
such notice is received from official
sources no harm has befallen the
soldier. There will be no unknown
dead" Every man in the army,
whether officer >or private, will be
indexed by name and the records fl
ed in alphabetical order for immedi-
ate reference should the names ap
pear either in army orders or casu
atty lists. With the description Of
each soldier will be given the name
of his next kin, with address. The
War Department may decide upon
the plan of Identification which has
been in vogue in the regular army.
This system is that each soldier shall
wear about his neck underneath his
clothing a small aluminium tag giving
his name and company. So always
there is a line of communication
from the boy fighting in the trenches
over there, or in training camps
here, and his nearest reltive, through
the tag he wears and the card in the
filing case at Washington.

ARE YOU TALKING TREASON
TALK OR AMERICAN?

Treason Talk Why are we IN
this war?
American Talk. We are in this
war because Germany gave us tou
many knocks. We were not quick to
fight. We said please don't" many
time, but Germany would not stop.
We are in this war because we are
not towards.
Treason Talk. If we keep quiet,
Germany will not hurt us.
American Talk. Germany has al
ready hurt us. She has sunk our
ships, killed our women and children,
and told us to keep off the sea. We
are rich in coal, iron, steel, sugar,
wheat, cotton, oil, copper and many
things that Germany wants. If we
keep quiet, she will come and take
them. She will take our money, too,
to pay for her war.
Treason Talk. But the government
takes our money now in taxes.
American Talk. 1t is better to give
little now to our own government
than to have Germany take it all.
Treason Talk. l have a good job
and I get good pay. I do not want
to give any of it to the government.
American Talk. If Germany gets
this country, you will have no JOB
and no pay. You would have to work
like a dog, and if you did not work
you would get whip on your back
That is the way the Germans treat
prisoners of war.
Treason Talk. I want to save ny
money for my wife and children. A
good man thinks first of his family.
American Talk. I know how the
Germans treated the women and
children of Belgium. To save my
family from such fate I would give
my life.
Treason Talk. This is not our war
This is England's war.
American Talk. This is America 5
war, and England's war, and Frances
war, and Italy's war, and the war Of
every honest nation that is now
fighting to save the world from the
lust of Germany.
Treason Talk. This is rich
mans war.
American Talk. The army and the
navy are full of rich mems sons. The
rich have poured out their money for
the Liberty Bonds, for the Red Cross,
for the Y. M. C. A. and other war
aids. They have cut prices but not
wages. This is a rich mans war and
a poor mans war. We are all in it
the rich and the poor, the old and
the young, men, women and children.
Treason Talk. 1t is not fair that
the poor should pay more taxes than
the rich.
American Talk. They don't. To say
they do is a made-in-Germany lie.
The more money man has the more
taxes he pays to the government.
Treason Talk. German-Americans
still love the Fatherland.
American Talk. If the Fatherland
was such good country, why are
there millions of Germans in this
country to-day? When the war
broke out did the German-Americans
rush to the ships to go back and
fight for the Fatherland? They did
not.
Treason Talk Germany wants
peace now. Why go on fighting?
Let us have peace.
American Talk. Germany does not
want peace. Germany wants rest,
so that she may be strong enough ID
fight again. We will not stop this
war until we have taken the guns
away from the German soldiers; TIL
there are no more German subma-
rines; till there are no more Zeppe-
Inns; till there are no more German
airplanes or cannon or poison gas or
bombs.

JAPAN OFFERING BONUS TO AU-
TOMOBILE BUYERS

Japan has offered every purchaser
of an automobile or truck in the
empire $500 toward the purchase
price, and $50 yearly to help pay
for the maintenance of the vehicle,
in exchange for the privilege of
speedily Communicating motors
when the occasion demands, accord
ing to advices received by the for
eign sales department of the B. F.
Goodrich Rubber Company.
This subsidy is intended by the
imperial government not only for the
quick requisitioning of cars, but
also to promote their use and to even
tually encourage their manufacture
within the empire. This aggressive
action by Japan and most of the
trucking is by men who pull two
wheeled carts-most of the passen-
ger traffic on the streets and high
ways is by means of jinrikishas.
Labor is in strong demand and
more general use of motor vehicles
would release thousands of men for
work in factories.
Japan's action will add impetus to
the export of American-made cars
and tires, say Goodrich officials. 1t
will be several years before Japan
will be able to produce anywhere
near her own consumption of motor
vehicles and accessories. But three
concerns in Japan are now building
automobiles. One of these has made
about half dozen cars and another
is assembling from parts imported
from America. Two large Japanese
shipbuilding companies are erecting
automobile factories.

PREGDENT .PARD0Ns srNrRIrs
SENTENCED TO DEATH.
WASHINGTON. d. G.. June "a

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June "a
In granting unconditional pardon tn
two young soldiers sentenced to
death for having slept on post at the
front, President Wilson expected
his action to act Gas a CHALLENGE to
devoted service for the future" The
text OF his order, identical in both
cases and made public, says:
I'm view Of the youth of Privatss
Forrest u. Sebastian and jeff Cook
and the fact that their offense seems
10 nave been wholly free from dis
loyalty or conscious disregard of their
duty, 4! hereby grant them a full and
unconditional pardon and direct that
they report to their company for
further military duty.
Inc needs of discipline in the
army with propriety impose grave
penalties upon those who imperil the
safety of their fellows and endanger
their country's cause by lack of vigil
ance, or by infractions of rules in
which safety has been found to rest.
L am persuaded, however, that these
young men will take the restored op-
portunity of their forfeited life as
a challenge to devoted service for the
future and that the soldiers of the
army OF the United States in France
VIII realize too keenly the high char
acter OF the cause for which they are
nghhng, and the confidence which
their country reposes in them, to per-
INIT the possibility of further danger
from any similar shortcomings"

KENTUCKY AND TEXAS OIL
FIELDS LARGE PRODUCERS

The Kentucky and Texas oil fields
are the only oil fields in the country
that are not on the decline. This
statement was made at the Rotary
Club meeting in Lexington by w. S.
Mitchell, of Philadelphia, who is
looking over the Kentucky territory.
The total oil production of the
world, said Mr.. Mitchell, is now
about 60,000,O00 barrels year, of
which the United States is producing
something like 80 per cent.
1t has been estimated that after
the war, with the rapid increase in
the use of oil for ocean vessels, the
demand will be twice as great as it
is to-day, and production will have
to reach 900,QQ0,O00 barrels year
to meet demands.
Mr.. Mitchell said that the Ken
lucky field, if properly developed
and favorably treated, would be a
tremendous asset to the State.
At the present rate of operation
upward of $10,000,000 year soon
will be paid out in the form of wages
to Kentucky people. employed in the
industry.

TAX ASSESSOR To BEGIN WORK
THIS YEAR ON JULY

Attention has been called to the
fact that State and county tax as
sessments are made this year as OF
July 1 instead Of September l, as
heretofore. This is under a law pass
ed by the last General Assembly and
is similar to the law in numerous
other States. Under the old law mer-
chants and others had to take two in
ventories, one in July, which was the
usual stock-taking period, and one
at September ] for tax purposes.
Now only one inventory need be
taken.
1t was the practice heretofore to
delay laying in stocks until after
September ] to save paying Excess
sive taxes. Business was in meas
ure delayed thereby. 1t is also point
ed out that the farmers in paying
taxes as of September / were doing
so on property that was sold about as
soon as it was taxed.
The new date for assessing prop
erty does not change the date for
paying taxes. 1t does give the Board
of Supervisors longer time in which
to do its work, making it possible
to equaliZe valuations more equitably.
The only danger of confusion be-
cause of the change in date is the
fact that the date for assessing city
taxes is still September 1. The at
tention of the city taxing authorities
has been called to the change in the
date for assessing the State taxes
with a view to having the city also
make the change This can he done
by ordinance. If the city continues
to use September / as the date for
assessments the confusion would re-
suit from the fact that returns made
to the State and county as of July 1
and the city as of September / would
not be the same and the tax pay
ment to the two units would be on
different bases. The city has until
/ to change the taxing
date.
