Three Out of Four.

An idea of the task which confronts the
public schools of New York City in the matter
Of AUGMENTATION may be had from noting
The fact that the number of immigrants and
heir children resident in the city is almost
equal to the combined populations of Paris and
Philadelphia and greater than the combined
populations Of Chicago and Berlin. In other
words three people out of every four were born
under alien flags or are the children of the for
eign-born. and seven out of every nine children
OF school age are of immigrant parentage.
There are seVenty-odd tongues for which
he schools must substitute good English. It
is, in fact, matter of the Americanization Of
three-fourths OF the population by the one
fourth which is American, and the work is
being accomplished very largely through the
public schools. 1t is done principally by teach
ing English; by vocational training through
which is brought to the pupil larger view of
Americanism; by teaching Iife's work and re-
sponsibiIities to girls in much the same way;
and by helping graduates to obtain good posi-
tons in the business and industries of the
country.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-02-24
The Daln1atian Coast Argument.

The peace conference probably will look
upon the controversy between Italy and the
new JugoslaE republic over the northern Dali
Enatian coast much as congress looks upon the
railroad ownership question It is one of the
several hard knots that remain to be united
after the league of nations has been arranged
50 as to afford the greatest amount Of salts
faction to the greatest number.
Debate over the control OF Dalmatia has
been going on ever since the arnistice was
signed and apparently an equitable solution is
as far away as ever. Italy claims that the
Jugoslavs violated an agreement when they took
the matter before the bar OF public opinion. It
was to have been left to the peace conference
without previous discussion, according to the
Italian version Whatever the facts may be
this was not done and the argument has waxed
warmer and warmer, with both sides growing
increasingly emphatic and making more and
more sweeping claims and statements. An
especial effort is being made to secure public
sympathy in America md the newspapers here
are flooded with literature pro and con-
Tho average American is confused, rather
than enlightened, by the propaganda that is be-
ing so industriousIy circulated. His interest,
1T most, is Of superficial character and If he
expresses himself at all it will be on the gen
eralities Of the case rather than upon an analy-
sis of its less obvious aspects. It Will be
enough for him to know that there was a spe-
ciic agreement between Italy, England and
France that the first named, if the war were
won. should have what it now claims; that the
Jugoslavs at the time this agreement was made
were enemies Of all three countries, and that
The territory italy is asking for is not vital to
the existence Of the Jugoslav republic, which
did not come-into existence till long after the
agreement had been signed
Italy fulfilled its part of the contract with
tho allies and is lawfully entitled to the Dali
matian coast ard should be given tiff it in
sists on having it.

enormous production of so-called
war mineralS-mangane chrome,
pXrites, etc. Heretofore these min
erals, essential in the manufacture
of steel and other war material,
have been imported at lower
price than they could be produced
in this country. It was not deemed
wise to be dependent upon foreign
ores for the manufacture of our
guns and munitions, so the miners
| claim they were urged by the inter-
! ior department. by the war indus
tries board and other government
agencies to develop old and aband-
| Oned workings. Some of the mines
had just come into production when
the armistice was signed.
The miners feel they have a le-
Ultimate claim for their outlay less
the salvage ON the machinery in
stalled. They say the government
was their only prospective pur-
chaser, and with the coming of
peace their investments, made in
behalf of the government, were a
nearly complete loss.
Some members of the house con-
tend there was no actual govern
| ment agreement with the miners
and that they should be put in the
same class with the farmers who
were urged by the government to
plant added acreages of wheat and
other foodstuffs. Some represen-
tatives also fear that the claims
would amount to many more mill
lions of dollars than the $4,000, 900
az-fw .7esgGT 70 90 .,
ment of the interior. This is de-
MED by the department and by the
representative of claimant miners.
Whole Bill in Jeopardy.
Be that as it may, the whole bill
is being placed in jeopardy by a
failure to agree on the mining end
of the measure, which to a layman
seems a simple enough problem to
solve by the mere calling in of Sec
rotary of the Interior, who knows
all about the legitimacy of the
mining claims, and taking his ad-
vice with regard to them.
A few days ago the conferees
agreed on the bill and retained the
mining claims in it The house,
however, by a vote of PA to III,
sent the bill back to conference
with instructions to strike out the
mining claims. The senate confer
ees will not agree to any such pro-
cedure. Efforts are being made to
arrange a satisfactory rewriting OF
the mining section, but so far they
have failed.
The old, old cry of sectionalism
again has been raised and the as
sertioh made that the east is taking
care of its contractors and does not
care whether the western miners go
into bankruptcy or not
There still is hope of agreement
The quicker it comes the sooner
will vast millions of badly needed
money be placed in business circu-
lation.

! by the 1916 act, therefore, was 4
per cent.
The new bill provides an addi-
/ tional exemption of $500 for each
person dependent upon the tax
payer for chief support, if such
person is under IS years of age, or
incapable of self-support- Under
the 1917 act the 5000 exemption was
granted only for each dependent
child OF the person making the re-
turn, or when the return was made
by the head of the family, for each
dependent child of family. A head
of a family is one who supports
one or more persons closely con-
nected with him by blood relation
ship, relationship by marriage or
by adoption.
The period for filing ends March
Is. The tax may be paid in full at
the time of filing the return, or in
four installments, the first of which
is due on or before March Is, the
second on or before June Is, the
third on or before September Is
and the fourth on or before Deem
Der Is.
Heavy penalties are provided for
persons who fail or "willfulIy re-
fuse" to file their return and pay
the tax within the time specified by
law. For failure to file a return the
penalty is fine of not more than
81 200 and an additional assess
ment of 25 per cent of the amount
OF tax due For "willfulIy refus-
ing" TO make a return the penalty
is fine of not more than $4,000
or one years Imprisonment or both.
A similar assessment of so per cent
OF the amount due. Persons who
fail to pay the tax when due are
subject to a fine of not more than
81 900 and an assessment of 5 per
cent of the amount paid, plus l per
cent interest for each full month
during which it remains unpaid.
Forms for making returns may
be obtained from offices of col
lectors Of internal revenue. Tax
payers with income of less than S.
600 should ask for Form 1040A.
Those with income of more than
$1,000 ask for Form 1040.

There is a lot of undeTeloped wealth in

1t will not be surprising if it turns out that
Americans who in the past have pulled secret
WIRES to force intervention in Mexico are found

Pershing Smashes Them.


General Pershing's report Of the health and
general camp conditions at Brest should put
to shame those garrulous grumblers-partsan
politicians all-who take advantage of their re-
turn from Europe to pelt Washington and the
public with lamentations and excavations over
the horrible state OF affairs which they claim
to have left at Brest.
General Pershing, without betraying any in
dicadon that he knows of the existence of
these people, calmly demolishes them with the
facts which he presents. As was his duty, he
has kept informed regarding conditions at
Brest all along, and he has made a personal in
spection of the camp within the past month, in
company with General Hartford, his chief of
staff, the chief surgeon and the inspector gen
eral Of the American expeditiOnary forces. He
speaks with authority and the plain facts and
figures which he reports cannot be discredited
by the vaporings Of ranting civilian politicians.
General Pershing is represented by the Re-
.pubEcans protesting their political faith, AMI
he is even mentioned by them a possible
nominee of their party for the presidency, but
Republican politicians who are endeavoring to
score point in the political game by attacking
the war record of Democratic administration
will get no assistance from him. He is known,
not a politician, but a straightforward
soldier, and what he says about Brest, not what
the scandalmongers say, goes. Louisville

Brad's Bit O. Verse

March.
When the March wind comes a
ripping and a-roaring through the
trees like a million fiends and fur
les merged in one tremendous
breeze, when it rumbles and It
grumbles, when it busters and 1t
blows, then we mortaIs in our an
guish tread u path of griefs and
woes. When old March with griZZ-
ly whiskers comes a-stalking from
his lair. when we see the wells and
post holes go careening through the
air, when today it's hot as Texas,
and tomorrow cold as Nome, then
we marvel not the weather man
gets batty in the dome. All, old
March of all the seasons is the con-
queror and king; he can give US
winter, summer, he can give us
autumn, spring; he can make us fan
and swelter, he can deal US ice and
snow, and our thoughts must not
be uttered when his burly Zephyrs
blow. Yet we hail the bluff old
monarch, and we like to see him
come, though he melts US in the
morning and at MONDAY makes us
numb: for he chants the dirge OF
winter, and OF summer days he
sings. and we love him for the
balmy hopes and promises he
brings -CLEM BRADSHAW
