MUSTERED OUT AT so.


We noted the other day the story of
a Pennsylvania colonel who at So COW
cred himself with glory in France
after having been called too old to
fight" by our examining officers. That
was notable case. but the record of
a French soldier put his completely
in the shade.
This man., Lieutenant Surugue.
sapper in an engineer regiment. was
mustered out of the service a few
weeks ago at the age of so. When the
war broke out in 1914. he volunteered
70 rthe duration of the struggle and
during the conflict earned the sobri-
puet of The Dean of the Poilus.
After being accepted IN the army,
Lieutenant Surusue served in train
ing camp, learning the manual of the
rifle and bayonet. When he had suf-
ficiently advanced he was immediate
ly sent to the front and during the
war passed most of the time near
Souchez, where shells fell with con-
slant regularity.
Nothing better illustrates the Won
derful tenacity and devotion of the
French than such an example as that.

BORDER DISAPPROVAL.

While proud of the manner in which
American troops did what they were
permitted to do, many civil officials
of Texas and Arizona. including the
mayor of 'El Paso. announce that it
was a mistake to attack the Villa
forces at Juarez. unless the govern
ment intended to do more than dis
perse them. The entire border peo-
pie objected to Mexican troops being
permitted to pass through this coun-
try because such action would again
inflame the revoutionsts or bandits,
whichever they may be considered,
with resulting revenge upon Ameri-
cans in Mexico or near the border.
With nothing bat scorn for the
marauders who raided an American
town, border citizens have little more
respect for the Carranza regime
which caused the CarriZal trap and
massacre of Pershings men who
sought to capture villa the raider of
Columbus Nowhere on the border
would the sortie into Juarez have been
approved if the purpose was to save
the Carranza garrison.
No number Of explanations from
Mexico and from Washington will
ever serve to convince the turbulent
element in Mexico that the whole
play was not agreed upon BY the two
governments, and understood by the
local commanders.
And the Carran2a element will. as
surely believe the f! Paso military
commander had no authority for his
action and that the government at
Washington feared to make an issue
and to stand pat
If Secretary Baker had directed
troops to proceed by rail or other
wise to the miNng camps and agricul-
tural colonies Of Americans, to escort
them out or remain until the Mexican
government actually furnished guards
in good faith, he would now be up
held by this country
The Carranze>governm the peo-
pie of Mexico and the whole world
would have had more respect for the
United States. We would not have
been showing other estimate of Mex
ico's weakness and inability to govern
and police her own country, than we
showed by sending an army to Vera
Cruz, by sending Pershing into the
interior and by the recent crossing
IN dpfeat a force that the Mexican
government could not handle.
An advance from Juare2 to Amer
lean camps would have caused no
more hatred from the rebels than
was incurred by the surprise attack
and killing of a few score of them.

THEY WILL NOT FORGET.

In the house where | was born
They will not forget.
When the bugles cry at nom
And the watchers eyes are wet
AS the flag goes flaming by
And the troops return again,
TO vast triumphant cry,
Down the dear familiar Lane
Thoughts OF me will stir the heart.
All my loved ones will he there,
Knowing that | played my part,
Pore the brunt and took my share
Other heroes will come back;
| may never come again,
But my spirit takes the track
To the little winding lane,
BY the fields of summer corn
They shall feel me standing yet,
In the house where | was born
They will not forget.

PHELAN PREDICTS
Democratic Senator From CAL
ifOrnia Says That Japanese
Are Huns of the East and
0ver-running the West

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wlREl
Washington, June 20.-Cancellation
of the so-called gentleman's agree
ment with Japan and prohibition of
all immigration from that country,
was urged before the house commit
tee today by Senator Phelan, demo-
crat, of California, who declared the
japanese rapidly were making a Isl
lent" conquest of the western hemi-
sphere.
Americas next war, he said, would
be on the Pacific, and not on the At
lantic."
THE Huns of the east have come"
Senator Phelan declared. ALREADY
they have spread over California and
are stripping the state of its Ameri-
cansm They have invaded South
America, and have obtained firm
foothold in Mexico, where they are
protected and a part of the Carranza
machine. Some day the japanese
problem will come to smite us with
united force
Senator Phelan said he had no SYM
pathy with the percentage" plan OF
immigration which would permit Jap
anese to come to this country at the
annual rate of from to per cent of
those already here.
The Japanese are no to he COM
promised with" he asserted. They
must be eliminated entirely like a
swarm of locusts, which they alone
equal in economic destructiVeness Not
per cent should be allowed to come;
not one-half per cent, not even a quar-
ter per cent. Legislation should be
enacted to bar them entirely. This
might hurt Japans feelings, but
America comes first"
THE sore spot Of the world is in
the orient It is the place which we
must watch, zealously and unceasing-
ly."
Senator Phelan urged also legisla-
ton to prohibit the Japanese from
owning or leasing land in this coun-
try and to make picture bride" mar
riages illegal.
Desire for Land.
The greatest danger from the Jap
anesn, the senator said, was caused
by their innate and deep-rooted de-
sire to become land owners.
"The Japanese refuse to work for
anyone else when it can he avoided"
he declared. when they acquire a
piece of land they work eighteen TO
twenty hours a day. For that reason
Americans are being driven out of the
state
Land owners of California are apa-
thetic, Senator Phelan said, because
they are able to obtain from the Jap
anese far more for their land than
they could make by leasing it or SELL
ing it to the Americans or by work
ing it themselves
The America. laborers are not so
fortunate, however he said, They
are deprived of their means of live
lhood Can you wonder many have
joined the ranks of the Bolsheviki, the
I. W. VS. and the radicals"
Labor unions of the west coast are
beginning to realize the seriousness
of the question" the senator added,
and to make determined efforts to
have all japanese excluded
Senator Phelan said he had aided
in obtaining the state departments
dsapproval to the proposed sale by
Mexico of 100000 acres of land near
the American border to a japanese
corporation for colonization purposes.
"But who knows when other and
more successful attempts will lie
made" he said. 1--WE must be on our
guard continuously"

Income Tax on Farms Sold.

On1 account of the large number
of farms that have been sold recent
most frequently discussed. AS we
understand, the ruling of the. in
come tax collector is that when land
is sold all the increase in value from
March 1, 1913, to the time of the
sale, or from the time of the pur-
chase if it was bought after March
1, 1913, to the time of the sale,
shall be considered as income of the
year when the sale was made, and Is
subject to income tax. The fact that
the proceeds of the land are rein
vested Immediately in other land
makes no difference. The difference
between the fair and reasonable
value at the beginning of the term,
and the fair and reasonable value
when the land was sold,. less any
improvements which may have been
built on the land in the meantime is
the profit. upon which tax must be
paid. d.-OsceOla Sentinel.
