SALVATION ARMY
WORKS UNDER FIRE

Women of the Salvation Army, who
had been working in a hut located
exactly up to the firing line" had
narrow escape when bomb tore
through the wall of the hut. Although
they were literally driven out OF their
place of shelter it required an order
from the American general in COM
mand of troops nearby to insure their
removal from the place. where there
was continuous rain Of shrapnel.
This information is contained in
report received at the national head
quarters of the salvation Army in
New York city by Commander Evan
geine Booth. The writer. Cadet Har-
old Miles, who is I'm France on spec
ial mission and working under the Ill
Jrection of Col William Barker. says
under date of June ):
"A strangely camouhaged canvas
roof had been rugged over the walls OF
an old barn at A., the original
roof having been neatly removed by a
high explosive German shell me
walls were riddlcd with bullets ana
shrapnel. for there is hardly mo-
ment when the guns are not speak :
ing. The other night fragment OF
shell tore through the wall less than
q foot above the spot where the girls
had been but a moment before. When
matters became so serious they novel
out and worked the rest OF the night
standing In several inches or water. "A
small caliber shot smashed directly
through an old kitchen table in the
room but did no other damage. mis-
sort of thing continued and then was
followed by furious gas attacks and
artillery fire.
The military authorities ordered
the women To fall further back and
they reluctantly did so linn ediatelyt
however, Capt. John Marshall and
George Riley of our organization, who
had been in hut that was demolished
by enemy shellfire and who had been
serving troops behind sandbags piled
high, at once took the places OF the

Blacksburg, Va, July 26.-The fed
eral government is already asking Wiz
ginia If she can increase the 1919
wheat crop 0 per cent over this year.
This can be done and blowing land in
tended for wheat in July and early
August will help to accomplish 1t,
Flowing at this time will often in
crease wheat yields 10 to Is per cent,
and sometimes as much as ten to
fffteen bushels per acre. Early plow-
ing conserves moisture: allows the
seed bed time to settle. and increases
available plant food. 1t is particu-
larry desirable where wheat follows
wheat, or for idle land infested with
weeds.
In blowing under wheat stubble
early, the wheat scattered on the
ground will have an opportunity to
sprout early and be killed by diskings
before wheat seeding time. No volun .
teer wheat should be allowed to grow
as it may harbor Hessian fly. which
may destroy the regular crop later
on. The following table taken from
actual experiments made will indicate
the value of early blowing

Let Us Pay Taxes in Instalments

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | think i. would be verv desirable
that the McFaddcn bill providing for thc
payment of the excess profits and income
taxes in quarterly instnlments should be-
come law, as payment in one lump sum
would be a great hardship on MANY cor
porations and large businesses. The NO.
eess'ty of paying large tax in cash in one
lump sum would greatly hamper future
business, might compel many mills, factories
ana other undertakings to stop and would
compel borrowing and the throwing over
OF securities which would seriously inter
'ere with the Liberty Loan and generally
disturb business; while, on the other bonj
the gradual payment Of the tax would not
seriously disturb the United States Troas-
ury' because the money is not all needed
at one time. Lump sum payments wonl,
also necessarily impose n heavy hurden
upon the banks, which will be called uno,
10 ,end money, and will affect their ability
both to finance the needs cf the govern.
mcnt and the needs of business.

New-York tribune., 1918-03-15
Making Good

For the first time yesterday New York
City got a look at the new state police
force, when a company of the troopers
paraded in connection with the military
meet for the benefit of the Womens Over
sea Hospitals. A fine, soldierly, efficient
looking body of men they were, compar-
ing favorably with the famous state po-
lice of Pennsylvania. 1t is satisfaction
to note, from information contained in
pamphlet prepared by the committee for
a state police, that the work of this new
law-enforcement agency is as good as the
appearance of it's members.
Organized last May under law passed
by the 1917 Legislature, the men were
under training until August. They began
duty in September at the State Fair at
Syracuse, where they acquitted them
selves we'll. In October they took up their
regular work Of patrolling upstate terri
tory and enforcing the laws there To
the end of January Of this year they had
patrolled a total of 99,567 miles of rural
roads, visiting 4,477 towns in their tours
of duty They had made 293 investiga-
tions, from which 522 arrests resulted.
From these arrests 423 convictions had
been obtained, with 70 cases pending.
This, it will be secn is an astonishingly
high percentage Of convictions, indicating
great care in obtaining evidence and pre-
senting it.
Success in such work, however, does not
lie wholly in the punishment inflicted for
lawbreaking; it lies rather in the pre-
ventlon of crime and the maintenance of
peace and order due to the Discourage
ment of the professional lawbreaker. 1t
lies, incidentally, in the actual help which
the state policemen can render to the citi-
zcns in their baliwick, of which the res
cue of an aged woman, almost frozen AMI
starving in her lonely cottage in Franklin
County, is an excellent example. AS to
the efficiency of the state police in these
phases of service, the testimony of the
small newspapers upstate and of state
officers is unanimous. In less than half
year OF work the men have made record
Of which they and the citizens Of New
York may we'll feel proud.
Governor Whitman has recommended
an increase of one troop, enlarging the
total of the force by some fifty men and
officers, but giving opportunity for an in
crease of work out of all proportion to
the sum of money involved. A bill for
this purpose is pending at Albany. 1t
should be passed. Such body as the
state police doing good work inevitably
saves money for the state--much more
money than it costs Any sum appropr-
ated for this purpose is an investment
maintaining security Of life and property,
not only within the patrolling radius of
any troopers, but in the state at large
New-York tribune., 1918-03-15
The Women's Hospital

Two reasons should operate to pro-
duce large attendance of large-hearted
individuals at the military and naval
meet which begins in Madison Square
Garden this afternoon. One is that it
is going to be a mighty good show-a
liberal education in many interesting
phases of the great war. The other is
that every cent taken in will go toward
the maintenance of as fine an expression
of the desire to help humanity as the
war has produced here-the Women's
Oversee Hospitals.
Like the British government at first,
our government has found no place for
women physicians and surgeons in it's
military machine. That fact has not
daunted them There is work in France
not of a military character, yet just as
necessary So Hospital No. I, in the
Department of the Aisne, stated by
women, has been opened. 1t was
equipped by the Red Cross. and women
have guaranteed to find the money to
maintain it and maybe others like it. Its
particular function is to care for the
civilian population in the devastated dis
trict.
New York States quota of the est-
mated cost for 1918 is only 100000. That
is small sum for big state whose
opinion of the value of it's womankind
was recently so strikingly expressed at
the polls. 1t ought to be raised twice
New-York tribune., 1918-03-15

Why the revival of this slightly
ancient document now?
And why the complete Justification of
the committees position on inflated
credits and prices?
The Washington correspondent of
The Journal of Commerce" for long
time was the present secretary Of the
Federal Reserve Board, Mr.. II. Parker
Willis.
The especial economic views set forth
by "The Journal of Commerce" happen
to be also those, we believe, of the secre-
tary of the Federal Reserve Board. Is
the quality of journalistic ethics dis
played in these articles also of his handi
craft?
If so, we should like ever so much to
know if this is new bit of government
propaganda and whether the Federal
Reserve Board is aware Of or approves
of the super-activities of it's secretary.
MEANWHILE now that it is in posses
sion Of the document, we strongly urge
that the Federal Reserve Board reprint
the Report in its monthly bulletin, in or
der that the bankers and the people Of
the United States, and some government
officials, may know what a committee OF
very able business men and economists,
not "theorists," thinks about the causes
of rising prices in England.
And may we venture to suggest that
similar committee for the United
States might likewise be of great value
and apprise the country of similar sound
conclusions?
