A WARNING TO TAx-DoDeERs.

Commissioner Daniel c. Roper ment as tO the Internal Revenue Bureaus attitude toward those who attempt to evade taxation: "Apy person who deliberately cOnceals tax lia bility, or who falsifies return in order to re- 6uce or evade any Internal Rev. enue tax, or who deliberately bets such concealment or fraud finds arrayed against him the entire strength of this Bureau, pressing for the full civil and criminal peutalties. That is the attitude 10 yard the tax evader, expressed in one sentence. Whe- ther he is mOOnShiner, a stealthy tra flicker in habit form ing drugs, a juggler of income figures, delinquent in making the sworn return the law re- quIres, CT a Revenue violaGor of any k,nd, the Bureau is charged with the duty of hunting him out and exacting the full punish ment provided in the law.
 Toward the taxpayer who means to comply with the Inter. nal Revenue laws, fully and honestly, the Bureau extends helping hand. Cooperation with the taxpayer is our watchword and objective. One of the most difficult Of the many problems in tax collecting is to classify those who fail to fulfill the obli- gatioos imposed by law
 There are three distinct classes of delinquency with which we have to deal. First, the taxpayer who had reasona- ble cause brought about by ex- ceptional conditions beyond his control; secondly, the man who did not look up or did not realize his obligations; and thirdly, the person who wilfully evaded con- pliance with the law.
 As for the man who shows a reasonable cause within certain lines established by the Bureau, no pecalties are asserted. All other delinquents are more care fully investigated before prose- cution is begun. Many of these offenses are caused by ignorance and negligence. Failure to make the reports required by law may in some cases warrant severe penalties, as where the delin- queu+ continues his delinquency after being warned of the penal ty for failure to make return.
 But there is no relief for the man who wilfully evade, wilfully ueglects or wilfully falsifes. He is classed with other lawbreak- CTS in the eyes of the Bureau and is vigorously prosecuted in the courts.
 There is no other course open to the Bureau, in meeting fairly and squarely the demand of the willing taxpayer. The Bureau is fulfilling it's part of this con- tract with the people-this con- tract that means so much in the practical, effective and just ad- ministration of the Internal Re- venue laws"

The following is an interesting let.
ter from Ernest Farrell, taken from
the White Leader:
Nov. %, 1918.-Dear Father and
Mother: Thanksgiving day has come
around again. and still it seems as
er away. But still | have got a bunch
of things to be thankful for, most of
all to be alive, and well, and to know
that you are well, at least you were
in your last letter and | hope you still
are. | have not heard a word from
you for days. Not your fault though,
because no mail has come IN lately,
except delayed mail. If any comes
in | always know there are several
for me.
We had our Thanksgiving feed two
days ago, because we thought we
would be hiking today. 1t consisted
of pork, as our mess sergeant secuted
around the country and got hold of
five or six pigs and we had beef,
mashed spuds in butter, a thing I'M
heard of in this army, and some won,
derful pie, the first we had seer In
many months. We are to have anoth-
er feed today but | guess it won't be
quite so big as the other one. There
are no drills today except this morn
ing. The regiment was lined up and
we We're read a divisional citation and
a regimental commentator. Our di-
vision was cited for its fighting abil-
ity on one of the last fronts above
Verdun in the Argonne forest on the
west banks OF the Meuse river and
our regiment was commended upon
its work as Engineers and also of
lighting as Infantry.
We sure led a lively life this last
year, as there is no censorship now
l car tell you where l was this last
year.
We arrived in st. Nazaire. France,
the 10th of December, and two days
later ! went to the LIST Engineers at
Alainville. France, which was then

don't know whether you can find it on
the map or not; if you can't, look for
Luxville, it is about seven miles from
there. We were there for six weeks,
and then moved to our present camp,
Bourron, located about fifty miles from
Paris, south and five miles from Fon-
tainbieau. The last named place is
where old Napoleon lived. He sure
had some chateau. 1t sure is some
sight to go through it. They also
have a great forest up there. The
town has a population of about 10000.
The camp here is a French camp and
we are working with them. 1t is the
largest tank repair camp in Franco.

motors, magnetos, etc. We sure were
kept busy. Some of the tanks that
shot to pieces. | don't whether you
have heard much about the tanks or
not owe there, but if you could see
this camp you would think that they
were about the only thing they use up
there.
The way it looks now, George will
never get over here. The old U. s.
is a grand place to be, but l sure would
not like to be in the army as long as
he has and not get to see France, be-
cause this country is great for its
scenery. | hope you folks and the
.nephews are as well as I am. | will
quit for this time wishing you a happy
Christmas and Happy New Year.

ICED DESTROYER MAKES PORT

Mrs. A. A. Poole, whose son, Lloyd
has been with L. s. destroyer Little
during the entire war, has handed the
Register some letters and interesting
clippings that we are glad to repro
duce because but few Of our Brook
ings boys have been privileged TO
share in q similar experience. The
following account Of the arrival Of the
Little Is taken from a Boston paper.
Loyd's letters 10 his mother follow.
The destroyer Little, Boston built
and largely New England manned,
slipped into Boston harbor today an
ic~e-coYered. wraith-like vessel that had
Just survived one of the worst storms
Of the winter.
The Little's trip home had been
quite as hard an experience as those
in European waters. She had passed
through seas that went over her fun
nels and then had encountered a cold
wave that froze the spray high on her
tunnels and masts, made her bridge
a bridge Of ice and covered her decks
with a slippery white mass.
Her guns were festooned with ice,
her torpedo tubes and Y-guns were
covered. The tunnels bore fantastic
designs in frost-work. The crew, shlv-
ering, stood about and told stories OF
their experiences, while canteen work
ers from the Red Cross gave them
cigarettes, newspapers and postcards.
And all the while Lieut.. r. s. Kell re-
NAMED imperturbable. oblivious OF the
cold as he had been throughout the
voyage. He Is a native OF Nome
Alaska.
On the very first leg of the voyage
home from Brest the Little had an adj
venture, In company with the de-
stroyer Nicholson, the Little left Brest
Dec. 26.
lust out OF port, a call came from
the Nicholson for the Titles doctor;
an officer was sick on the other craft
The two vessels had Just passed
through an S0-mile gale, and the seas
were nigh, 3ut the Little put over a
small boat, Just the same ana 'he
boat passed through mountainous
waves to the Nicholson, where the
doctor was taken aboard, accomplished
his. errand of mercy, and returned
through Just as heavy seas IN the
game c~ockle-shell craft.
The Little reached the Azores on
tho Doth with engine trouble. laid up
until New Years day for repairs, and
then left for Bermuda, which was
reached and left on the 9Th. At Ber'
muda the thermometer read 80 de,
grees and the voyage across the gull
stream was delightful Then the Lit
tie hit q storm. ~,
After the storm had washed the
decks for several hours. the LAHss
, hit the cold snap CT today.
The Little was flagship OF the !
section in France for. some
