He seemed a little offended at some

not to find General Pershing waiting out

he was vocal with indignation because no

his shoulders and an Iron Cross on his

least. at the time of his capture, and the
mood intensified as he was marched back
to the intelligence officer
He hadn't heard the questioning officer
speak more than five words of German
before he burst into the conversation.
do you allow privates to call officers by
their first names in this army?' he de-
manded witherngly.
"Why?" asked the officer

American. Now you just go back and

instructions, but he did the gestures which
accompanied them. He spent the next half

LABOR'S WAR PROFITS

COME Senators are beginning to study
~ the new revenue bill to discover
whether it makes a proper levy on the
war profits of labor as well as on those
of capital
No one in this part of the country
doubts that labor is making war profits.
Workmen are receiving ss, $40 and $50 a
day. according to common report. Boys
are getting a mans pay. Girls are receiv-
ing for clerical work as much money as
used to be paid to heads of departments.
Such rates of pay have seemed to be
necessary in order to get the work done
that has been done. Those who have left
permanent employment to accept positions
that from the very nature of the case
must be temporary are taking risks in
serving their country.
To assume that they will not continue
to serve it by paying their proper share
of the war tax to which they are liable
is a gratuitous insult. The unmarried
man or unmarried woman with no de-
pe1dents who receives $2500 a year is
liable to an income tax of 500. And the
managers of the war industries who are
receiving $4,000 and $4,000 year or more
are liable to a tax in proportion.
They are going to make out their in
come tax report as carefully and as hon
estly as any person not engaged in war
work. And if we mistake not they will
pay the tax much more cheerfully than it
will be paid by the men whose incomes
have not been increased by the abnormal
industrial conditions that have brought
sudden prosperity to large group Of wor.
thy citizens.

THE CHAFFING DISH
What We Are Fishtins

LNRANC1S CARLIN, the New York poet
tells us that the following quotation has
been faithfully copied from a. letter writ
ten by sergeant of Company A, 120th
NJ G. B'n, n. Y;
We have seen another bit Of German
Kultur while we were In the trenches.
When two lieutenants were captured by
the Germans one OF them was murdered,
and his legs were doubled up and tied to
his neck and his arms were tied to his
body in such a way that when our men
came to take him away and saw the way
he was tied they would cut the rope around
his neck and explode the bombs that had
been placed under his armpits and knee
caps and kill the whole bunch Of them;
but French soldier who was with them
saw the way he was tied and went ahead
and cut the rope in such way that the
bombs did not explode, thus saving them
from being blown to pieces.
The new chief of the German naval
staff, Captain Levetzow, has been ap.
pointed on the strength of his victorious
operations against Oesel Island. 1t must
be sad blow to the captain to learn that
his victory was so poorly press -agented
that most of us didn't even know it had
happened.

When haircut is a dollar and shave is
fifty cents
In all the barber shops around the town,
I'll become a Bolshevik or pattern after
Hindoo gents
Who bind gaudy turban round their
crown.
My autoscrape will help me to remove the
downy growth
Which at intervals appears upon my
chin;
But for cutting off my tresses, will take
a mighty oath
That the barber will get little of my tin.
For deve oping bald spot, might kneel
me down and pray
For the time when it's too late for
herpicide;
Or could purchase hairpins and then
initiate the way
That the ladies make bun upon each
side.
If could muster courage up, I'd shave
my wool all off,
And my dome just like a billiard ball
would be;
But probably in winter I would generate
cough,
Then doctor'd take my coin away
from me.
But of this I'm mighty certainss that no
barber will get fat,
II it costs a bone to hear him below
next
I would rather let it grow and hide it
underneath my hat,
For a dollar is a dollar, that's my text!
