Correspondent Relates Dis
tressing Stories of Want;
Face Worst 3 Months
People Tired of War;
Talk Only of Bread
Report of Cannibalism in
Vienna Quickly Suppressed
by Government

LONDON, May 21.-"I feel confident
that the time is at hand when famine
stark, mcdiaval famine-will join the
Entente as political and military ally
against Germany and Austria" the cor
respondent OF "The Daily Mail" tele-
graphs from Annemasse, in France
near the Swiss border.
The correspondent says he draws this
conclusion from oral statements bv an
authentic witness whose observations
extended up to the end of April. The
great masses of the German and Aus
TRAN peoples, this informant Declares
are more than sick of the war. Thev
think and talk Of nothing but bread.
and their morale is so low that the gov
ernments are fearful of Bolsheyik
movements.
Cannibalism Reported
Among the incidents given in sup-
port of the story of terrible want is the
case Of two prisoners of war employed
at the gas works in Vienna, who, he de-
clares. were murdered by fellow work
ers, who ate part of their bodies. The
"Arbeiter Zeitung," of Vienna. de-
tire issue was confiscated in conse-
ouence. The affair was referred to in
Parliament, but was hushed up in the
Vienna press
The narrator said he and his family
had lived for weeks almost entirely on
mushrooms gathered IN forest outside
the town in which he dwelt.
people often faint in the streets
from hunger" he continued. "The
health of many is such that they hardly
can stand, to say nothing of work, and
things are. getting worse every day.
Even the soldiers do not have sufficient
food They are not only sick of war,
but thoroughly apathetic regarding it.
1t is common sight to see soldiers
begging for food. Everybody is con-
vlnced that the expected food relief
from the Ukraine is mirage. Only
another Prussian swindle,' they say.
Face Three Worst Months
"The three worst months, June, July
and August, are yet to come. Last year
there was almost nothing to eat in
those months but cucumbers and fruit.
Tiyphus and dysentery became cpl
demic. The people are shuddering at
the prospect of these three months
now"
AS far as they dare, the dispatch con-
tinues. the people jeer at the talk of
smashing the British and French and at
the submarine campaign, the only re-
suit of which they see has been to add
America to their enemies. Every one
made fun of President Wilson at6irst
as a pedant, the correspondent adds.
but the people are now changing their
tune, and are afraid that America is In
earnest.

Helena, Montana, February l,

you if you don't pay your income
tax. Congress has fixed it so that
somebody must tell, whether he

One section of the War Income
Tax Law, exhaustively comprehen-
sive in scope, requires every person,
without exception, and every cor
poration, partnership, association,
and insurance company, in whatever
capacity acting. who paid $500 or
more to another person, corpora
ton, partnership, association, or in
surance company, as interest, rent,
salaries, wages, premiums. annui-
ties, compensation, remuneration,
emoluments, or other fixed or de-
terminable gains, profits, and in.
come, to report the name and ad.
dress of the person, corporation
etc., to whom the payment was
made, together with the amount OF
the payment, to the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue at Washington
using form prescribed for the
purpose-Form 1899, now to bt
had from all Collectors offices
The forms must be filled out ant
returned on or before March l
1918, accompanied by Form 1896
which is letter of transmittal ant

general idea of the donations al

800 lbs, pigs, other livestock and
poultry, disc gang, rightlap, plow,
bob sled and other machinery and
tools; wood, wheat, oats, barley and
beans; sugar, flour and other gro
ceries and provisions; new kitchen

and various other articles of furni
ture and household goods.
The committee has not been able
to see everyone but it is hoped tina
everyone in the community will
contribute something.
The sale will be a good place t.
renew old acquaintance as larg
crowd from all over Potlatch ridg
and other points, is expected.

We reached Washington all right
and are now at Camp American
University. There are several
thousand men here. l do not know
when we are going to sail but prob
ably in about three weeks. l am
anxious to get across and wish we
were going tomorrow. We may go
to Virginia for a couple of weeks
as they are crowded here.
We have our uniforms-some
bunch of clothes and enough fol
two years. Hope they don't give
me any more.

Appeal As Registrants

Frank l.. Moore, the local appeal
agent, has taken appeals from the
classification of the Latah county
exemption board in the cases OF
some As registrants who were given
special classification on the plea of
having dependent wives. These
are men who have been married
since May Is when the selective
service law was approved by Presi-
dent Wilson. This action of Mr..
Moore in appealing these cases is
in response to uniform ruling of
Provost Marshal General Crowder
requiring that all such cases be ap'
pealed from the local to the district
board. The object is to get uni
form ruling covering all such cases

1t seems funny that you do not
have any winter out there. We
have certainly had plenty of it here,
although we have not suffered any.
My feet haven't even been cold as
my shoes are large enough for two
pairs of socks and l have all kinds
of underwear and woolen goods.
They dedicated the new Y. M. G.

ming. The governor of New Jersey
and several other officers were
there. The people of New Jersey
donated the building to the army.

have any kick coming on the treat
ment they have received here fol
everything is fine.
