EX-SOLD|ERS
MAY Be GUARDS
1t is Understood That That SyS-
tenn Will be Used at Nor
gan Depot

The employment of discharged sol
diers as civilian guards at h Nor
gan General Ordnance Depot while
still in embryo is expected to develop
into a source of absorption of man
of the unemployed men who have re-
ceived their honorable discharges
from the service.
1t has been stated hal when the
men received their discharges from
the eleventh, twelfth and seventeen
ordnance guards, they would be re-
employed as civilian guards at civilian
pay. 1t was also believed that the
opportunity for other discharged men
to get places as civilian guards will
be big.
Major Dove, c~onmandant at the
camp, said this morning that the plan
was entirely undeveloped n was in
the hands of the guard officer. He
did say that there were many men be-
ing discharged and they would prob
ably be re-employed as civilian guards
If. they desired.
The capitalization of the ord
nance guards is proceeding rapidly
under orders from the war department
to have all the men out of the SER
vice by March 81. Eight to ten men
are being discharged daily and it is
believed that the complete demoboll-
zation will be accomplished before the
date set. With the three companies
out the only complete military organ
izations left will be two companies OF
infantry and a few detached service
men,.

ment is not so much in pointed detail
or penetrating phrase as in the ex-
haustive revelation of a thoroughly
significant national type. 1t is the un-
derstanding of>this type and its con-

so genuine, so re%velant, and SO focal"
Waller, NJ. l.. Out of the silence.
'"The boyhood of a lad brought up In
Canadian wilderness conditions is
told with glow of atmosphere and

France where he is killed."

Washington, Feb. 6.-Twill be a

some sort.
If you are not hit daily by an in
come tax. then you may contribute to
tobacco revenue. Or perhaps a dish
of ice cream. If you don't use either
then there is the movie assessm ent.
Or you may take a little train trip.
And donate to the treasury both on
ticket and pullman. And il you
change your mind and phone long
distance to say you won't be there
there's the tax on phone calls.
And if you pay your insurance pre-
mium-more taxes.
Perhaps your thirst calls for near
beer-more taX-even real liquor can
get in on this thirst tax yet awhile.
And there's your club dues tax.
Elimination of the nineteenth hole,
however, may equalize that item for
you.
But cheer up, the symphony orches-
ira can still ''symp'' untaxed.
And there's the excise taxes-on ev-
erything you can think of.

clothing. Then cool off by a taxed

The Spartacus Attempt Is Due
To Be Made Today.

Berlin, Feb. 6.-The government to-
day was understood to have completed
its plans for meeting the nationwide
attempt of the SpartacanS to seize
control, scheduled for today.
Aided by soldiers councils, the
Spartacans are expected to begin
coups simultaneously in Berlin and
Weimar with demonstrations in other
centers. A movement is already un-
derWay to strike at the national as
sembly and the present government
which has been moved to Weimar.
Soldiers councils have seized the teIe-
graph facilities in Eisnach and Erfut,
in that district and a large force of
Spartacans and mutinous soldiers were
reported to be marching on 'Veimar
from Gotha, thirty miles to the west
Meanwhile, the Spartacans are re-
ported to have been completely routed
IN Bremen. Latest advices indicated
that the insurgents there, altho rein
forced from Hamburg and Bremen
haven had been defeated in sharp
fighting by Military Governor Noske's
troops and had fed from the civ
