First Gas Masks Made by Women OF Eng.
land and France.

The use OF gas in warfare dates back
to about 400 b. G.. The Spartans
saturated wood with pitch and sulphur
and burned it under the walls of cities
which they were attacking. For ever
al centuries gas has not been used in
warfare, and The Hague convention
definitely ruled againt it. However,
on April %, 1916, the Germans liher-
ated great clouds of gas against
Canadian troops near Ypres. Terrible
destruction aud decentralization re-
suited from this first gas attack, and
within a week England was making
plans for gas warfare against the
Germans.
Soon after the first German gas at
tack English and French women sent
to the front hundreds of thousands of
homemade gas masks. For the most
part they were merely bandages i'm
pregnated with chemicals to wrap
around the mouth and nose. These
emergency masks saved many lives,
but afforded only limited protection.

Income Tax Slackers.

ST. LOUIS, Me-, Mar. 26, 191S.--"Tax
slackers will be prosecuted as vigor-
ousiy and relentlessly under the war
revenue act as draft slackers we're
prosecuted under the selectiva service
act. The aid of all good citizens is
invoked in bringing to justice the
man who deliberately seeks to evade
his just share of the war burden"
This was the statement to-day of
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Daniel c. Roper. With only ten days
left in which to file income tax re-
turns, he has practically completed
the organization of a huge dragnet
for bringing into camp all persons
who fail to file their returns by April
/. Revenue officers in every section
of the country are checking up returns
with a view to beginning prosecutions
against tax dodgers. The word has
gone forth that such offenders need
expect no leIlency.
Through its educational campaign
the Bureau of Internal Revenue has
e~ndeavored to cover the field SO
thoroughly that ignorance of the law
cannot be consistently offered as an
excuse" said Commissioner Roper
to-day, "The press, the four minute
men, the State and County Councils
of National Defense, the field force of
the Department Of Agriculture and
other government departments,
banks, post offices and hundreds of
volunteer agencies have co-operated
in bringing home to the taxpayer his
duty.
1.-THE man who failed to register
under the selective service act was
regarded by the War Department as
a Stacker and prosecuted as such. The
man who fails to lilo his income tax
will be regarded as q money slacker',
and when discovered, as he will be,
will be- made to suffer full penalties
of the law.
"To the credit of the Nation, it may
be said that ] have gratifying aud
conclusive evidence that these income
taxes will be paid by the great major
ity OF the American people cheerfully
and willingly. But the duty Of the
honest man does not end with the
payment OF his own tax. call upon
him to aid in bringing into camp the
tax dodger. A man go niggardly as
to seek to evade what his representa-
tives in Congress have declared to be
his just share of a tax imposed for the
support of our arms is deserving of no
consideration and will receive none.
%"Congress has distributed this tax
justly and equitably. The rate is
fixed so that the rich man and the
man of moderate mean are assessed,
each according to his income. No
man can offer the excuse that his
neighbor escapes what he is made to
pay, Therefore, it is incumbent upon
all good citizens to aid in carrying
out the intent and spirit of the law,
which is that the burden of the war
tax be evenly distributed and every
mar compelled to pay his just quota"
