"Tax slackers will be prosecuted as
vigorously and relentlessly under the

were prosecuted under the selective
service act. The aid of all good cit
liens is invoked in bringing to JUS
tice the man who deliberately seks to
evade his just share of the war bur-
den"
This was the statement today OF
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
| Daniel c. Roper. With only II days
left in which to file income tax re-
turns, he has practically completed
the organization of huge dragnet
for bringing into camp all persons
who fail to file their returns by April
II. Revenue officers in every section
of the country are checking up re-
turns with view to beginning prose-
cutions against tax dodgers. The
word has gone forth that such Offend
ers need expect no leniency.
Through it's educational campaign
the bureau of internal revenue has en-
deavored to cover the field so thor
oughly that ignorance of the law can
not be consistently offered as an eX-
cuse," said Commissioner Roper to-
day. 'The press, the four minute men,
the state and county councils OF ma
tional defense, the field force of the
department of agriculture of volunteer
agencies have cooperated in bringing
home to the taxpayer his duty.
"The man who failed to register un-
der the selective service act as re-
garded by the war department as a
Stacker and prosecuted as such. The
man who fails to file his income tax
will be regarded as money slack
err and when discovered as he will
be, will be made to suffer full penal
ties of the law
"To the credit of the nation it may
be said that I have gratifying and con-
elusive evidence that these income
taxes will be paid by the great ma
jority of the American people cheer
fully and willingly. But the duty OF

BRuCES IS BITTER
AGAINST GERMANS.

BRUGES, Nov. 22.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press THE civil population of
Bruges is much more bitter toward the
Germans than the soldiers who have
fought them for more than four years.
Terms of bitter hate and a demand of
revenge come from the civilians alone
the soldiers grin soberly.
The correspondent entered a cigar
store where an old lady sold him a vii
famous cheroot, a relic of German oc-
cupation. She launched into violent
denunciation of the invaders. THE
war must not end like this" she de-
clared we must go into Germany;
we must make them suffer and expiate
their crimes" On the day of depar-
ture, she said, the Germans had robbed
her store of $500 worth of the best ci-
gars and cigarettes.
On the Grand Place, in the shadow
of the famous belfry, an angry citizen
was declaiming against the invaders

AMERICAN NAVY HAS
HUMANE TRADITIONS

The navy-and the same ideals ami
mate the army-has not forgotten the
directions that it's first captain re-
ceived from Benjamin Franklin. Under
authority of congress. Franklin issued
instructions to John Paul Jones which
are in marked contrast with the in
structions which are given to German
captains of our day. The colonies
were sorely pressed. If ever a nation
might have pleaded necessity as an ex-
cuse for ignoring the laws of humanity
it was the struggling and poorly
equipped colonists. But hard pressed
as they were, let US rejoice that Ben
jamin Franklin bade John Paul Jones
mot to burn defenseless towns on the
British coast except in cases of mill
tary necessity, and in most cases he
was hidden to give motive so that wom-
en- and children with the sick and aged
inhabitants, might he removed be-
times"
These words seem to be voice from
a past century rising up to rebuke the
bloody nation which failed to adopt
Franklin's humane policy, all the more
remarkable in a century when piracy
was comon upon the highways of the
sea. But the American philosopher
hoped his young navy would not only
refrain from ruthlessness, but ex-
pressed the ardent wish that the COM
mander might render service to a sea
captain whose discoveries had won him
fame, for Franklin babe the American
cruisers, if they CHANGED to meet Cap
tain Cook, the great English explorer
to forget the Temporary quarrel in
which they were fighting and not
merely suffer him to pass unmolested
but offer him every aid and service in
their power"

RAILROADS HURRY
BIC STEEL ORDERS

WASHINGTON Nov. ga pro-
gram of $909,O00,O00 of expenditures
for railroad additions and betterments
and equipment already ordered but not
delivered for the remainder of this
Tear and next year was announced to-
lay by the railroad administration.
Fhis does not include cars and locomo-
ives which may be ordered next year.
The announcement, issued in view of
recent recommendations of steel inter-
csts, that the railroads place large ad-
vance orders for equipment to keep
mills busy, presented an estimate that
there remains $293,OO0, 900 to be spent
out of this years budget for additions
and betterments already authorized:
sS66,O00,000 for equipment ordered but
not yet delivered and $3.50, 900, 900 for
additions and betterments to ways and
structures in 1919. This is the first
statement indicating what the rail-
roads propose to spend next year for

with soil composed of half-rotted oak
leaves mixed with 10 per cent of sand
and a liberal quantity of small, broken

it is presumable that the much-admired
arbutus will be grown before long in
quantities under glass for the late win
ter market. In the wild state it is al

is great demand for cultivated spring
wild flowers, ahead Of the season; also
for pansies, which themselves were wild

1910.
In that year little girl named Mary
Bennett. daughter Cf the Earl of
Tankerville, undertook to plant in her
garden at Walton on Thames every

The original crysanthemum, from
which all the superb varieties we know
today are descended, was, in its wild

dandelion. 1t is found that the latter

The planes IN formation nose -dived
several times and swung around a
circle 800 to 1000 feet above the
ground. They were scarcely visible
Several telephone receivers were
Connected TO the switchboard and Mrs.
Wilson and other members Of the pal

mand, as well as watch the eXecu

commander rose in the air first and
flew up and down, dived and looped
in accordance with the order tele-
phoned from the ground. Then, fol-
lowing directions, the flight comman-
der flew back to Boiling field and in
response TO orders called upon his
squadron to maneuver.
Colonel Culver lnvents Device
The telephone as used today was
adjusted for three to five or six miles.
1t is similar to the instruments used
by American aviators in France, the
secret Of which was disclosed after
The armistice was signed.
Colonel G c. Culver is credited in
he department Of military aeronautics
with having been the active agent in
The development of the devices.
1T was in August, 1910, that | first
became interested in the possibility OF
sending messages from airplanes,'
Colonel Culver said today, "and COM
nenced a series of experiments which
we're so far successful that in August
1915, l was epabed to send a radio
telegraph message from plane over
Chatsworth, California, to San Diego.
a distance of $40 miles.
In February, 1917, after we had en-
listed the assistance of the foremost
American telephone companies and
their expert acoustical men, we sue
ceeded in transmitting vocal messages
from plane to the ground. IN Oc-
tober, 1871, I took the first sets to

there. BY August, 200 complete cts
had been sent to our forces in France,
and our whole effort was being de-
voted to the complete utilization of
the possibilities in the offensive. we ex-
pected next spring.
Old Principles Applied
NOBODY invented anything new in
applying the radio telephone to mill
tary airplanes. What was done was
the adaptation and adjustment of pre-
viously discovered laws to a new
field"
Only squad and flight leaders have
their planes equipped with transmit
tiers, so that they may give orders, as
a power plant is required to generate
current The receiving apparatus.
which is very light, can be installed on
all planes The visible portion of the
radio sets resemble almost exactly the
ordinary telephone receiver and trans
mitter. Colonel Culver predicted that
the telephone would be valuable ad =
junct to commercial use of air planes.
