shipping agents to the government
yesterday, that the striking port
workers could return to work if they
declared off existing boycotts, pre-

leaving the government efforts in the
hands of the minister of marine.
The government will ask congress
on Monday for permission to requisi-

I'm lonesome when the Win

through summer, spring and

winter was the worst that ever
happened, last and first, it filled
so many graves; hundred
friends have gone to sleep in
couches narrow, cold and deep

waves. A hundred dear old

but see my friends no more. An
old gent cannot make new
friends as down the sunset
slope he wends, with hating

of evening ring the more his
souls affections cling to friends
of long ago. The winter bore

tions have not yet been confirmed.
Not one of these men under thirty
was fit for military duty, but the cita-
tions show that they carried on with
the same courage and spirit that
identified Americans throughout the
war. These records show that they
went over the top with the assaulting
waves, that they exposed themselves
under machine gun and shell fire to
minister to the wounded, that they
worked indefatigably as stretcher-
bearers and that they drove ambu-
lances into the midst of battle to

Cash Not Taken for Income Tax,

BY giving publicity to the FOLLOWING
you will render a real service to the

L have discovered that gold certifi-
Gates, treasury notes, coin of the
realm and such other forms of money
as have been declared by the Con-
gress to be legal tender for the pay
ment of debts have no value as a
medium for paying the income tax.
AS illegal and incredible as this may
seem, it is. nevertheless, fact If
any one doubts it. let him go to the
internal revenue Office at Sth and G.
streets northwest. Let him sta nd in
line for half an hour or so, tax re-
turn in one hand and cash in the
other; let him. when he finally reaches
the cashiers window, tender his hard
earned cash in payment of the tax
assessed against him-and he will be
fold-he will be told plainly and fore
IDLY that there are only two forms of
exchange acceptable for the purpose
in queStion-namely, check or a
postal money order.
By what authority this official,
known as the deputy collector of rev
enue, undertakes to enforce rules
contrary to law does not appear
But he does it complacently. and ap-
parently with no uncertainty. The
only thing to be regretted is that this
emarkable regulation is kept a pro-
found secret. to be suddenly sprung
upon the unsuspecting public, only
after the collectors window has been
reached.
