Each.
Camp Lee, April 3.-More than
1000 members of the National Army,
officers and enlisted men, now station
ed at, Camp Lee filed income tax re-
ports either through the internal rev.
enue collectors OF their home districts
o. through the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance at the camp. Of this num-
Der the large percentage who will
contribute to wage the war are en-
listed men. The largest individual
contributor to the cause is a West
Virginia private, a member of the ar
tillery brigade; whose report shows
that last year his net income was S3O,-
900. On this amount he will pay to
the government tax of $4,000. There
were six men in the division who
earned more, than $4,000 last year,
and all save one is now serving his
country as an enlisted man.
The smallest tax to he paid is on
an income of LOO, which nets the
government 50 cents. The average in
come of those paying the tax was in
excess of $500 for single men and
$500 for the married men. The
law affected every one alike. The
commanding general paid his tax as
we'll as the private in the rear ranks.
The government will collect approxi-
matelv $4,000 from the members of
this command.

HUN RESERVES WORN
FROM FORMER FIGHTS
Boehme Has 210 Divisions
From Russian Front-Have
Fought 430 Times.
ASSOCIATED Press.)

With the French Army in Franco,
July 25.-(Morning)-Owing to the
detection of the Russians from the
allies the Germans have been able to
place 210 divisions on the western
front this year. From January to July
"a. little more than six months, these
divisions have been engaged about 430
times so that each has been thrown
into battle at least twice during the
half year. With operations becoming
more frequent this proportion is rap
idly increasing.
When the present battle began the
Germans had twenty eight divisions
on that portion of the field westward
from Rheims as far as Chateau Thier-
ry. Now the front has been widened
by the allied attack from the latter
city to the Aisne and the Germans
have hurried more forces into the line,
bringing the total now engaged on
this part of the front to over forty.
ana placing considerable strain upon
the enemy's reserves.
They still have reserve divisions
concentrated Mt some place behind
their lines, but many units comprised
by these divisions have been sorely
tried already this year. and 1t Is ques-
tionable whether they are all suflici-
emily recuperated to participate In a
new attack should the German staff
decide to order one to retrieve the de-
feat of the crown prince.

With the American Army on the
Aisne- Marne Front, Wednesday, July
"a (night) with their lines of COM
munication reduced by operations on
their flanks and their rear north OF
the Narne being constantly punished,
the Germans have been forced to give
up more territory. The French and
American troops rested tonight some
distance in advance of the points
where they started this morning.
The German retirement under pres
sure is believed to indicate that Gen.
Won Boehm, the commander of the
armies within the salient. has had
enough punishment to convince him OF
tions.
Greater efforts than ever before have
been exacted this year by German
army chiefs from the troops under
their command. Compared with last
year, when the fighting was very
severe. all their divisions have. been
called upon to make at least double
effort. The correspondent is able to
demonstrate the terrific nature of the
task thrown upon German soldiers by
the desire of the German emperor to
crush the French and British armies
before American troops arrived in suf-
fcient numbers to turn the balance.
During last year the Germans pos
sessed on their western front between
l60 and ITO divisions. The most OF
these were engaged twice and some
;hree times during the entire twelve
months. having in the meantime been
reconstructed.
