Last Years Earnings.

Washington, ID. C., Aug. 14-Dh
Culties Of soldiers who formerly were
successful busines men, in paying last
years income tax on this years pay
are illustrated by story brought to
Washington by an officer serving al
one OF the southern cantonments.
Last February. the officer said. he

ings over $4,000 while all unmarried
men would have 10 pay on all incomes
over $1,000.
Coming to him later, one Of the
men, a private, said:
II guess wont be able TO pay that
income tax haven't any money"
"Oh. that's all right" replied the
officer. you have until June to pay
# and you can save it out of your pay
by that time"
I'm afraid couldn't" responded
the private, Il made $35, 900 last year

With the American Troops in Lor-

proof that women can be just as cool
under shell-fire as men. Maybe they
can be cooler.
The heroines of this bombardment
are Mrs. w. G. Hammond of New York

Minnesota and Miss Lulu Lawyer of
Schenectady. N. Y. They make dough

Army hut in-but that would be tell,

One fine morning the soldiers and
civilians OF the town in which this
hut is located were startled when a
huge German she'll lit on a building
and blew it TO pieces. The town had
not been shelledsfor years.
Past Lunch Time.
Everyone took to dug-outs, while
more shells continued to come in with
startling regularity. Everyone stayed
in the dugouts, and after a few hours
everyone began to get real hungry. It
was past meal-time. and as yet no
lunch.
Shortly after noon, Mrs. Hammond
told her assistants. We've got to
make some chocolate and biscuits for
these boys around here, or they'll
starve. We can fix up the chocolate
heater in a dug-out, but the only way
to make biscuits is to bake them in
an oven"
The rest agreed, and with help of
some hungry doughboys they got the
chocolate boiler working, we'll protect

began figuring. The shells came in
very regularly. Chances were that the
methodical boche mind would never
slip a cog.
Work Between Shells.
Wen go up to the kitchen after
each shell arrives mix biscuits for s
minutes, and then come down here
until the next shell comes in" said
Mrs. Hammond, Wen fool these
Germans"
So they did, and soon had batch Of
biscuits under way. and then another.
AS they put them in the oven. one of
the girls said, 'Believe me, II these
boches throw shell in here while the
biscuits are baking it's going TO be
something to paw"
The bocbes didn't hit the kitchen,
with any Of their eighty big shells,
and the doughboys surely enjoyed hot
biscuits and chocolate. The girls
moved only when the soldiers did, to
another town, where they continued

The Lenine Threat.

London, Aug. 14.-The British gov.
ernment has issued declaration for
mally recognizing the Czecho-Slovaks
as an allied nation and the three
Czecho-Slovak armies as an allied

against the central powers.

London, Aug. 14.-It is reported

Washington, d. c., Aug. IA. - Re-
ports through Berlin that allied dip
lomats have demanded an explanation
of threat by Lenine, the bolshevik
premier, of "a declaration of war
against the allies, are assumed here
to refer to the action of America and
allied consuls calling in body Aug. 1
on Tchitcherin, the foreign commits
sioner at Moscow.
The consuIs, after being told by
Lenine. that a state of war existed be
tween Russia and the allies, demand
ed an explanation from TchitCherin.
They were told that the statement
was not necessarily to be interpreted
as a war declaration; that it rather
was declaration of state of de-
fense similar to the situation existing
at one time between Russia and Ger
many.
American Consul Poole informed
the state department of the incident
in a message dated Aug. 2 and receiv-
ed here six days later He has not

HUN SAYS TO CHANGE PLANS
Copy of Order Issued by Gen. Won
Ludendorff Is Captured
by the British.

With the British Armies in the
Field, Aug. 14.--A copy of an order
issued by General Won Ludendorff
which has been captured by the Brit
ish, reveals how far the plans of the
enemy have been wronged.
"We cannot win this war by stub,
born resistance" the order said, but
only by vigorous successful attacks.
And these attacks must be on the
same order as the methods which
were adopted by us during the recent
offensives. ...-....
1T is absolutely essential that we
avoid the attacks in too dense army
formation"

SHARE OUR SUGAR
With The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweetening
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two
pounds month per person is equita-
Bile when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
tiOns with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied natiOn-in the matter of
sugar COnsumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly Classed as a luxury, sugar
is now a war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential is
in the hands Of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
a voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the households Of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is pound and a
half and in Italy it is one pound a
month. And the prices in allied cOun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
II you go to a hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring 1t with you.
In England it is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
If they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends. '
Before the war started France had
625,O00 acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
Today the French man or woman with
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy 1t, one must first
find II. --. ~.
Italy Has Estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. It's manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
ly controlled, and In part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted to be sold
and used as substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures a mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
Estate Sugar" which is largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
a great surplus of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out of the export
business, but have plenty of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent in the
Allied nations, according to informa-
tion received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows
10 cents pound; France,
IL cents; Italy. 26 cents
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American wholesale
price Is being held at 7M cents.
