 Base Hospital No. 5. July p. 1918.
 Dear Mi-dred:-I cannot tell you how happy l am to know that you worked so hard and took such interest ir the Red Cross drive. am happy because l see the wonderful work the Red Cross is doing over here. Your work and efforts will De rewarded with the thousands of thanks and blessings of the sick soldiers
 1 wish you could see the little girls over here. They are not dressed as beautifully as the little girls at home, and all wear wooden shoes l know that these little girls would give d great deal for pair of leather shoes CT one of your old sun bonnets. All the young children do some kind of work after school hours. not very chance 1 will send you 2 picture of some of these young children and show how they are helping to win the war
 I wish you could see the wonderful layout, and how the engineers are turning the fields into cities The buildings grow over night am just finishing up the section which I have charge of and will take over the trans portation of material to the other sections of the work as the hospital has grown to such a large project. I can give you an idea of this work when I say that in my section I put up twelve buildings in as many days.
 We are handicapped by the rain some what just now. as it rains every. day. II cannot say that I dislike the rain as am anxious to get as much water as possible behind the dam. You can understand that water is large item and we need it as much as buildings.
 1 am sure that you are getting the reports of the wonderful work our soldiers are doing over here. Being so near to the hospital I hear Of the wonderful things from the boys them selves and you cannot imagine how long to be at the front.
 Kindly remember me to vcur father and mother. With the greatest of love to my mother and best wishes to you all. I remain. Your cousin. H. F. 0. KINSLING. E,n0ineerS Y z P

TANKS UP ON MILK
 TO JOIN THE NAVY

Quarts of milk and a period of rest are the reasons why a well known yougn man is now in the navy. They were the two deciding points in the plan he adopted when he found that he was too light in weight to meet the requirements when he wanted to en- roll in the naval reserve
 Twice he applied at the recruiting station and twice he was rejected be- cause he was some pounds under the Weight that Was called for in q man of his height. After the last rejection he laid himself out to build up before he tried again, laying off from his work and buying and drinking every day three quarts of milk for several weeks. At the end of the time, he made another application for enlist ment. passed with flying colors, and has jus%> recently answered the call to report for active service at New port.

Manifesto Declares Workers of Ma
tons Are One for Self-Determi-
nation in the World
ALL EUROPE In DANGER
If THIS IDEA FAILS
Defeat of Militarism and Fair Deal
ing Can Save, Message to the
Slavs Says

Of great moment on the political
side of the war is a message issued to
the Russian people by the British Ia
Dor party. The message announces
that the British people are one with
the Russians on the principle of self
determination of peoples and no an
nexations for the British empire, par
ticularly in the middle east, in Africa
and in India
1t calls upon the people of the CEN
trail empires to force their govern
ments ito renounce annexations in Eu-
rope with the same good faith in which
we are renouncing them in ASIA" and
not let them drive the British people,
as they are driving the Russians, into
the terrible choice between cOntin-
uing the war and abandoning the only
principle that can save the world"
The message says the sovereign in
dependence Of the Turkish people in
their national home is respected, but
that the Turkish governments DONNA
ton over other people is a hindrance
to the naional development of the
Turks. The formation of an interna-
tional organization is called for to
take over the responsibility of govern
ing certain people, such as the Arabs
the Pedestrians, Armenians and Rus
sian Poland.

HERF To Explain
NEW TAX LAWS
Federal Blanks Must Be Filed and
Taxes Paid by Many in This
County---Important Change

L. O. Smith, formerly resident of
Merrimack and now citizen of Madi-
son, is at the post-office building to
explain the working Of the new federal
income tax law and to assist in max
ing the report. All reports must be
returned by March /, and the tax paid
by June for this, district to the in
ternal revenue office at Madison.
Every single man or woman with
an income of $1,000, and every mar
ried person with an income Of $4,000,
or more, must make report, and
fines will be inflicted if this is not
done. Every person who pays out
$500 or more to a person for wages,
or where interest is involved to the
above amount, must file a report.
There are also many other provisions
which it will be we'll for every tax
payer of this class to know. 1t does
not follow that all must pay a tax
for many have exemptions. This does
not excuse for filling out the blanks,
however Many farmers, persons on
a salary and others with incomes will
be effected. The lowest rate to the
government is two percent of the net
income, the rates depending upon the
amounts. It will be necessary to
study the blanks in order that the in
dividual may know the full import Of
the new law. Mr.. Smith will tell you.
Not for Day
This new move on the part Of the
government to collect taxes is not for
day. Mr. Smith says the govern
ment is gradually getting away from
the tariff system, and this means that
taxes must be raised in some other
way. With the big war expenditures
of the government now here and with
tariffs greatly reduced, it means that
the small taxpayer as well as the
large must take an interest in the fl
nances of Uncle Sans business.
