SOLDIERS ENTITLED
TO BONUS OF $50
War Department Asks Red Cross to
Give Fact Wide Publicity-Dis-
charge Certificates Wanted.

With view to extending the publici-
w of the $50 bonus for soldiers as
widely as possible the war department
has asked the American Red Cross to
help in spreading the information and
in giving the matter all publicity pos
sible, as the hill recently enacted ear
ries with it provision for the bonus
to be paid to all soldiers discharged
since April 6, 1917, and as many were
discharged prior to the passage of the
bin il is esential that they should be
reached if possible.
The act, which was approved Feb
81, last, authorizes the payment of a
bonus of 500 to officers, soldiers, field
clerks and nurses of the army upon
honorable separation from active serv-
ice by discharge, resignation or other
wise. This bonus is not payable to the
heirs or representatives of any de-
ceased soldier Those who have been
discharged and have received theiI
final pay without the $50 bonus should
write to the Zone Finance Officer
Lemon Building, Washington, d. c.,
stating their service since April 6
1917, the date of last discharge and
their present address TO which they de
sire their bonus to be sent and enclos.
ing their certificate or military order
for discharge and both, if both were
| issued.
Upon receipt of this information and
| discharge certificate by the zone finance
officer the officer will cause checks to
| be drawn and mailed to the claimants
| in the order in which their claims were
received by him. The discharge Ger
tifieate will be returned to the soldier
with the check. 1t is estimated thai
at least one million and quarter pers
ons have been discharged from tn.
service, who are entitled to the benfits
of this act, and while payments will b.
made as expeditiously as practicable i
manifestly will take considerable tins
| to write and mail so MANY checks.

Famous Regiment Returns to Canada
After Long Service.

HALIFAX, \. s., March 1.-THE
famous "Prineess Pats, Canada S
first troops to fight on French soil, re-
turned home today on steamship Car
mania from England
While nominally it was the Princess
Pat regiment which returned, only 80 OF
the arrivals were among the original unit
which went overseas in 1914. The Others
were requirements which were necessary
to keep the regiment up to its normal
strength as fierce lighting in ID notable
engagements of the war made havoc with
it. During its services the regiment had
nine commanding officers, who saw theii
units twice nearly wiped out Two com
manders were killed and eight won thu

MORE TIME FOR
FILING RETURNS
Deputy Collector to Be in
BrattlebOrO the Next
Three Days
COULDN'T FINISH
WORK SATURDAY
Advised by Collector Seth w. Jones to
Continue to Give Assistance to Tax
payers in Filling Out Income Tax
Blanks Two Weeks More.

An extension of time has been grant
cd taxpayers for fling their income
tax returns. because so much work re-
mained TO be done at the close OF bust
ness Saturday night. Deputy Collee-
tor Harold X. Burt, who was here four
days last week assisting in making out
returns, is in Bellows Falls today, and
he writes The Reformer that he will he
here Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day of this week. He will be in room
200 in the federal building, which is
the United States marshal's Office.
So many persons found it so difficult
to make out thei- returns that they
waited for Mr.. Burt and kept him ex-
trcmely busy, and. it was impossible TO
clean up the business Saturday night.
Mr.. Burt has been notified of a
change in one of the provisions noted
in the income fax blank, relative to
exemptions. The rule as now changed
is that if man was married and lived
with his wife at the close of the year
1918 he is entitled to an exemption of
s., 600, no matter whether he had been
married the entire year or n part of
the year. The same is true as to a
woman.
Following is Mr.. Burt's letter to The
Reforner
Bellows Falls, March II.
Editor of The Reformer:
| have been advised by Hon. Seth w.
Jones, collector of internal revenue that
as the time we were able to give to the
work of assisting taxpayers was so
short and so much remained to do at
March Is that / am to continue giving
assistance TO taxpayers for the next
two weeks for the following purposes:
First-to assist taxpayers who have
applied for an extension of time for
making out their returns.
Seeond-to accept additional returns
from persons who have not vet filed.
/ desire to call attention to the fact
that apparently there are vet many
persons who have failed to compute
their income for the year 1918 and de
termine their liability to make return
Many farmers in some sections show
very little interest in the income tax
law when it is very evident that many
of them are prosperous and likely to
be taxable.
| will be in Brattleboro this week or
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday tC
give any needed assistance to taxpay
ers.
Respectfully,
HAROLD K. BURT,
Deputy Collector.

Germany to give compensation for acts
she committed after her first peace
offer in Dee. 1916. He declared that
the only means of calling a halt on
Bolshcvism was the abandonment of
this "mailcd-fst policy of the allies,
according to the despatch.
The German people, he said, had al
most unlimited confidence in President
Wilson and he hoped the league of ma

not be finally adopted, as he declared il
was n compromise of the ideals OF
President Wilson with the imperialistc
aspirations of some of the allies.
The President, Erzberger insisted
was under obligation to advocate tho
immediate admission of Germany to the

ers in busy sections of the city. At a
saloon ON eth avenue and 124th street
