"Theio is ...eo.hing to the rumor that there has been a fire on the AlKi," said Charles Warner, when questioned as to the truth of the re port that there was a fire aboard the Al-Ki that had done serious damage to the boat.

"Les Miserdbles" nt the P0Ldce.

It is interesting to note that large crowds are witnessing the presen- tation of Les Miserables" at the Palace theatre where this Pathe production is enjoying a record breaking run.
 There is an atmosphere to this foreign made photo-drama that IS not to be found in those of our own making; the French actors give an unusual interpretation of the story, the gestures, the facial expressions are almost silent dialogue. Then the scenes of the old Paris

Who Is Paying for the War?
BY JOHN r. COMMONS Professor Political Economy

Everybody must expect hardships
from war. The greatest hardship is

Next 10 the boys nj the front. the

boy would get after the war II he were
disabled and IL furnishes as high as
fl0.OOO life insurance at less than half
what an insurance company charges in
time OF pence, and permits him 10 con
unuo 1t after the war at substantially
the same rate.
The next great hardship is taxes.
IN former wars our government taxed
food and almost everything the peo-
pie used, In this war II is taxing only
liquor, tobacco. patent medicines. lux
urtes, amusements. new insurance
premiums, business documents, trans
portauons and postage
Taxation Of Big Incomes.
Twothirds Of the people pay but
very little extra taxes directly 10 sup
port the war. The other one-third
OF the people are taxed on incomes
and excess war profits
In the Clyil War the income tax was
per cent TO Is per cent. and every
income as low MS $500 was taxed In
this war three different income taxes
are piled on top OF each other, so that
an income OF $4,000 pays sac. and in
come of 100000 pays SAT5, 600 and
larger incomes pay nearly 90 per cent.
But no income OF a married man
less than $4,000 In taxed at all. and
none less than $1,000 for an unmarried
man. No workingmsn with a family
pays an income tax.

The government Is trying to cut
down excess profts As fast as pos
sible II is reducing the prices that pro-
ducers are permitted to charge.
This has been done for iron, steel
and almost everything else that the
government buys.
II is hard to do this and yet not
discourage production. We must have
an enormous increase Of food, cloth
ing. munitions and other necessities
during the war.
But the government Is doing this
in the only way possible. II calls in
the representatives of labor named by
the American Federation OF Labor.
and the representatives OF the manu-
facturers and farmers. The American
Federation of Labor wanted the price
OF wheat fixed at S1.S4 a bushel The
farmers wanted $3.50 They com.
promised on s2.2O bushel
This Is the way il is done for coal

pie must buy, II the price Is cut too

The Rise In Wageo
Increased cost OF living always goes
along with wars But here is some
thing TO remember: the outbreak OF
war In 1914 brought an increased de-
mand for labor. at a time Of great in.
dustrial depression in this country.
The demand OF the Allies for NUM-
tons, equipment and food. set every
body 10 work In the United States.
Immediately also wages began TO rise
They went up fastest and highest in
the industries that furnished mum.
tons 10 the Allies, The employees OF
the United States Steel Corporation
have had an increase of SO per cent
In their rates OF wages, and when TO
this Is added steady employment. their
earnings by tho week or year have
gone up far beyond 90 per cent.
In the state Of New York the only
state whore statistics have been col
lected on a large scale-the earnings
of all factory wage-earners throughout
the entire state have risen. on an
average. over SO per cent since June,
1914 In some OF the metal and ma
chiuery industries. they have more
than doubled.
Nobody can give exact figures, but
the cost OF living taking everything
into account has gone up about 80
10 40 per cent. Food has gone up more
than that--4I per cent. according TO
figures OF retail prices collected By
the Federal Department OF Labor.
But food Is something less than hall

FATAL DESERT OF KhRA-KUM
Heat Reaching 1863 Degrees la Hurled
Into Ones Face Like Sheet
of Fire.

When the caravarrrI In olden days
went up from Samarcand and Bokhnra
to Merry for silks and carpets, or car
ried spices for Europe to the Caspian
ports, some of them occasionally wan
dered off into the desert of KHra- Kun,
and few of those ever returned. This
desert, which Is smaller but more ter
rtble than Sahara, came to be known
81 "the tomb of caravans"
If you were TO venture into the
desert of Karn-Kum you would travel
by camel. At first you would pass
through q land Of scrubby bushes and
rest at noon near well surrounded
BY II tiny native village at the bottom
~ dlmple In the desert. And here
yon would feel your frst touch Of the
desert heat--a heat that reaches 1873
degrees In the sun and Is hurled into
your face by the wind like veritable
sheet of flame.
In the comparative cool of evening
you would push on into the desert
proper, Presently from the top of u
sight elevation you would see 1t reach

ceuseless wind into pillows miles
long that creep forward perhaps Il
foot a year, burying everything In
their path. The wind tears banners
of lying sand from their crcsts as YOU
look, releasing cascades that so rum
bling Into the burning hollows.
The path across this desert is
marked only by bits of bone and stick,
occasionally by human skull. II is

thread which connects one shallow,

EULOGlZES THE WRONG DOG
Egouuence OF Tactfui Attorney Credited
70 Newspaper Story and he
Loses His Gaze.

An old man was arrested for beat
Ing his wife. Application was made
to have him put under peace bond.
Thinking the case too small for him
TO bother with. relates Case and Com
ment, the county attorney asked Judge
Albert II. Norton then young law
yer. TO appear for the state at the
trial. An attorney from Mncon-a
mnn who had quite n reputation as
"Dlcader'--went over to defend the old
man. Curled In front of the defendant
vas a yellow dog. Vests "Eulogy Of
the Dog" had recently appeared in
some paper. IT was not nearly so IA
miliar then as il has since become.
When the orator from Macon saw the
yellow dog at the old mans feet he re-
called Senator Vests speech. and was
alive to The opportunity for an effec-
tive appeal to the jury.
"Gentlemen," and he indicated the
mongrel, "wheu all other friends de-
sert the dog remains. If fortune
drives the master forth an outcast in
the world, friendlesS and homeless the
faithful dog asks no higher privilege
than that Of accompanying TO guard
against dunger, to fight against
his enemies; and when the last
scene Of all comes, and when death
takes the master IN It's embrace, and
his body Is laid awny in the cold
ground. no matter II all other friends
pursue their way, there by his grave
side viii be the noble dog he found, his
head between his paws, his eyes sad,
but open In alert wntchfulness, filth
full and true even in death"
So well was it delivered some of the
jurymcn cried. All looked toward the
aged defendant sympathetically. II Is
said that even the dogs eyes We're
moist. Ii was pretty clear the defend
ants lawyer had things coming his
way; but Norton had the wlndup, and
during the noon recess he hunted up
a paper which had the dog speech In
II. This he produced and read 10 the
fury in the afternoon, word for word
as opposing counsel reclted, and which
the jury thought was original.
"You see, gentlemen Of the jury
said Norton. "Senator Vest was talking
about another dog altogether, He
never heard of this yellow cur"
The Jury found the defendant guilty.
