Britain Needs Artisans
Mission Asks for Manual
Workers From al to IS

The British Canadian recruiting mis-
sion sent out yesterday call for men
which opens the door to many who
heretofore have seen no opportunity to
be Of service in the war.
Men from forty-onc to ffty-six are
wanted. They may be blacksmiths
boat builders, carpenters, caulkers,
drillers, frame benders. heavy timber
men, platers, platers' helpers, pile
drivers, quarrymcn, Triggers, rivcters,
seamen, shipwrights. shipyard ma
chinists and stevcdores; in fact, men of
almost every trade are needed.
The fact that the work is behind the
lines does not mean that it is without
thrills. AS the recruiting mission
points out, there is every possibility
for the men to have the same cXpe-
rience as did the American engineers
in the recent battle at Cambria. The
wages are attractive, and the enlist
ment is for the duration of the war
Applicants may report at oil Fifth
Avenue or 1870 Broadway.

A urious Rain Beat
Upon the Windows

The train rolled on through the
black night, and now furious rain
beat upon the windows. The four
other travellers who remained in the
wagon slept. Agnes and her compan-
ion, seated side by side in their cor
ner, were silent for while, but an in
timacy very tendcr-tenderer perhaps
than when they conversed &C.
menting itself between them.
After some minutes the young man
leaned over and said:
you were very sad when you left
Paris. Why was that"
She gave little start, but didn't an
swer.

turned in freezing manner 81 was

She believed that she detected a lit

him why she was unhappy. She was

mcmorated by German or French mas
ters in the grand style, their grave WIS.,
ages set within massive squares and
ovals, as though with something Of the
immoble dignity of plastic art. The
stern brilliance of metal gives its
essential note to line engraving. With
the etcher all is changed. Using the
needle i'll place Of the BURN, he gains
enormously in freedom, in variety, and
the natural consequence of this is
much fuller expression Of personality
in his work. The great line engraver
may be the child of academic tradition,
the product of a school. The great
etcher, like Rembrandt, for example, is
the gift of God, portent by himself.
Mczzotint lies somewhere between
these two types. 1t shares the harness
of the line 'ngraver, his subsection to
the stubbornness of metal, but in its
substitution of the scrapcr for the
burin it gains in richness of tone.
Where the line engraver must do the
best he can with silvery grays deepen
ing into restrained blacks, the mezzo-
tinter may range through an amazingly
long gamut, embracing nuances practi-
cally inaccessible to his colleague. He
is soft where the latter is stern. The
epithet for him is suavity; he beguiles
where the line engraver dazzles. Along
side the etcher, on the other hand, he
yields the palm at once, and for rea-
son at which we have already limited.

an orphan. An aged relative had
brought her up, who, after spelling
her very much, had died four months
before, leaving her alone in the world
and without a cent. SO it was neces.
sary for her to earn living, and after
a sojourE in a school where they took
IN governesses without situations she
had been lucky enough to find a piacs
in family in the provinces. She was
going there. And she had wcpt be-
cause all this seemed cruel, and she
hadn't had time to resign herself to it.
But from this on she would be self.
contained and courageous.
He Was Deeply
Moved With Pity
She stopped, almost ready to weep
again. Her companion did not answer
at first. He was deeply moved with
pity and tenderness for this delicate
and courageous girl, fighting single
handed against hostile world.
II, too, believe me, am alone in the
world" he said at last. COR nearly
alone. I have now left only an old
uncle. But he is eccentric, and l see
little of him. I, too, like you, am alone
without claim on any ones afec-
ton. But, no, no, don't cry again.
He had taken her hand and, bending
over toward her, he whispered words
of consolation which were becoming
words of love, and Agnes, trembling,
forgot, as he did, that they had not
even known each other a few hours
before, and found, as he did, that life
was now taking on a new aspect
But suddenly a traveller awoke and
asked where they were. The young
man let Agnes's hand drop and looked
out through the door. In his emotion
he had not noticed that the train had
already been standing for a couple of
minutes in a station. All at once his
eyes fell on the name of the place
printed in letters under the lantern OF
a street lamp.

He Invited Agnes
To Go With Him

The train halted again. This time
there was to be a stop of ten minutes,
and the young man invited Agnes to go
with him to get something warm at the
station buffet. Taken by surprise, the
young girl declined with dignity But
he seemed to be so unhappy at the
thought of having offended her that a
moment later she accepted his invita-
ton, which, moreover, because it had
the air of an adventure, attracted her
greatly. He got out first. Agnes sup
ported herself on his arm in order to
jump to the footboard, and they ran to
gether across the platform, delighted,
holding hands like two children. They
returned the same way, in a great rush,
cheered and refreshed by the coffee
they had hastily swallowed. They
scaled the footboard and sank breath
less into their seats. They felt as much
like comrades now as if they had known
each other ever since infancy.
Agnes said something gayly about
their just having missed letting the
train start away without them. But
her companion told her, with a retro
spectivc feeling of alarm which he
tried to conceal, that that would have
been very serious thing for him. H.
explained that he was returning to his
depot, after convalescent leave, and
that he had waited until the very last
moment, so that the least delay would
make him exceed the limit of his fur
Tough. Agnes was much impressed by
the idea that he had risked something
on her account, and she let him under
stand as much.

THE train left the station in Paris.
In her corner Agnes gazed fixedly


In her corner Agnes gazed fixedly
through the car window at the
streets and houses, fading out in the
twilight. But her fearful eyes saw lit
tie or nothing. She had firmly resolved
not to betray the least lack of courage;
but when, after the excitement Of her
departure, she found herself settled IN
her place in the compartment, she felt
more keenly than ever how completely
alone in the world she was, and suf-
fered an attack Of uncomfortable de-
preston, her mind brooding over the
dependent and narrow bread-winning
existence, among absolute strangers,
which would begin for her at the end
Of her journey.
But she mastered this fit of weak
ness and, after waiting for a few
minutes until her eyes had become dry,
she turned her head toward the interior
Of the compartment and sat up very
prim and straight, enveloped in her
travelling cloak and with her veil drawn
close over her face, to which she
sought to impart an expression of gray
ity, just as she had studied to suppress
any touches of attractiveness in her
toilet and her couture. She was very
young and good looking, and the direct
ress of the austere school which had
found place for her had told her that
cultivating attractiveness was by no

 While all of the club owners main tain an eloquent silence on the sub- ject, it is reliably reported that the association lost between $10O,OOO and $150,OO0 on the 191S-bob tailed season. which was abruptly ended early in August as result of the "work or fight order.

 In addition to the tax reduction due to the fact that the government now copes with peace instead of war conditions, prohibition is expscted to reduce revenue greatly Bevera ge taxes under the house oill were esi- mated to raise $1,137 100000 during their first 12 months of operation and $S50 100000 for the 1919 fiscal year.
 "At the present time under cang- ed conditions" the report states, ''it is possible to count only upon $500 : 000,00O fer 191S-191S, and $93 ,0OG, 900 for 1919-1920 from this source"
 Analyzing ill detail the committees radical changes, Senator Simmons re- port explained that the revised indi- viGual surtax rates graduated upward one percent on each $1,00 over $5,000 are more equitable than the larbitra- ry graduations of the house bill
 The bill retains the house provision for income taxation of salaries in- cluding those possibly for the Presi- dent, Federal judges, legality of which, the report states, is left to the courts, if the question is raised The report, however, says that the house clause for federal taxation of new state and municipal bonds was stricken out as Git seemed unwiso fer congress to attempt to impose this tax in similar manner obliga- tions of the United States.
 The plan of requiring affiliated cor porations to make consolidated in come tax returns, the report states, will do much to prevent tax eva sion and the new tax on life insur- apce companies true income from investments in lieu of war excess, m- come capital stock and ether taxes is more equitable.
 The war excess profits section, the report states, has been simplified and reduced, The house alternative plan of levying war and excess profits at which ever rate would yield the most revenue, the committee found objac- ticnable, because it's cOnstitutionali- ty is questioned and it's administra- ton troublesome to taxpayers.

 Individuals and partnerships pay the heavy surtaXes on all net in comes, while corporations are re- lieved from surtaxas upon the DOT tion of their earnings which is not distributed.

GAVE NAME 0 FANOTHER.

Sundays Graphic contained an item of the arrest of Vester Sprawler. Inas- much as this gentleman says he was never arrested in his life he was just
 ly indignant. Inquiry at the police sta tion elicited the information that a young man das arrested Saturday night who gave the name which ap- peared in the Graphic, but it seems he gave another's name to the officers. A Griphic reported was told this was the name of the person arrested, but this paper takes pleasures in stating that the name was wrong, and we are truly sorry that his name appeared in this uneyiable flight The corrections is gladly made. as the Graphic is always glad to correct any erroneous matter which may find its way in these col
 umns. Due care is always made. but some do occur which are unavoidable.
