THE war is too close at hand for the
accurate writing Of even the first
chapters, to say nothing of the writ
ing of the history yet unmade, the
record Of peace conference, The mo-
tives of the war are understood, but
it will not be until after Germany and
Austria have been opened up under
established governments and the pub
lie records and the private intrigue
exposed that any real, authentic his
tory can be written. And until that
time. the history of the war will be
recorded in the daily papers and in
the weekly periodicals reviewing
the war, the armistice and the devel-
opments OF peace and reconstruction.

compelled 20 take setting-up exercises
outdoors for 20 minutes every morn

then followed by brisk drill for an
hour. At the end Of an hours drill
ing the young men should be re-
leased from military discipline for
the rest Of the day. Setting-up ex-

would do young man more good than

SET RECORD FOR BUILDING
New York University Put Up Eight
Large Buildings for Soldiers in
Thirteen Days.

new 4OFk university SET record
in finishing an army barracks building
for the new students army training
corps in six days, says the New York
Tribune. This building was the first
Of a group of eight needed for the
newly indicted soldiers at the unfver-
sity. The entire group was completed
in ID days from the time the work
was started. Prof. Collins P. Bliss
head of the department of mechanical
engineering at the university, super
vised this rush job of construction, the
university authorities having contract
ed for the erection OF the barracks as
soon as it vas learned that New York
university would become an S. A. T.
c. camp.
The buildings are completely sealed
so they can be kept comfortably heat
ed by the big cantOnment stoves.
There are double floors throughout.
there is double sheatling en- the out
side and the walls are sealed inside.
Each barracks conforms to the army
plan of 43 by 120 feet dimensions.
In the mess hall 1000 men are fed in
two shifts High pressure steam cook
ers are used. There are gas and coal
ranges. steam tables on which to keep
the food hot, and some kettles three
feet in diameter. y -diShwasher oper-
ated by steam cleans 5000 dishes an
hour.
One of the univerS!ty's graduate en-
gineers- Lowry, Jr.-was respon-
sible for the rapid erection of the bar
racks. Being engaged extensively in
government work. he was able to
throw in Il large force of men, trans
ferred from other government work
that was finished.
The site of the first barracks was
surveyed and staked and posts were
set in concrete in one day.

TO HONOR GOLD DlScovERER
scum at PlacerviEie, Cal, in Mem
DRY of James Marshall.

Miss NJ. A. Kelley of Kelsey. fnstruc-
tor in FL Dorado county schools, has
undertaken the establishment of u
Hangtown museum at Placervilie, and
similar institution to be erected sur
rounding the blacksmith shop of the
late James A. Marshall, discoverer of
gold in California, as it now stands in
Kelsey. The Hangtown museum as
contemplated is to contain exhibits of
the days of 40 and the various ar
ticles used in gold production during
the early days of HangtOwn.
A large assortment of these exhibits
is available from old residents or de-
scendants of the pioneer families in
FL Dorado county. Placerville will
support the location and maintenance
of the museum. At Kelsey. where the
old blacksmith shop of Marshall now
stands almost ready TO fall to pieces,
it is desired to build stone wall and
covering around the old shop to pre-
serve the remembrance of Marshall.
Miss Kelley knew Marshall init
mately. Many people have it that Mar

says. is untrue. and that he not only

INCOME TAX DUE
Returns Must be Filed on Or Before
March IS. Bill Provides
Heavy Penalties.

Washington, D. C.-Work on the
collection of $4,000, 100000 has been
begun by the Bureau of Internal Rev
enue. This is the estimated yield of
the new revenue bill. The income
tax provisions of the act reach the
pocket-book of every single person in
the United States whose net income
for 1913 was $1,000, or more, and
of every married person whose net
income was $4,000 or more. Persons
whose net income equalled or exceed
ed these amounts, according to their
marital status, must file a return of
income with the collector of internal
revenue for the district in which they
live on or before March Is.
Here is what will happen to them
if they don't, for failure to file re-
turn on time, fine of not more than
$1,000 and an additional assessment
of 25 per cent of the amount of tax
due
For "willfully refusing" to make a
return on time, fine not exceeding
$4,000, or not exceeding one years
imprisonment, Or both.
For making a false or fraudulent
return, fine of not more than $10,-
600, or Imprisonment for not more
than one year, or both, together with
an additional assessment of SO per
cent of the amount of tax evaded.
For failure to pay the tax on time,
%
additional assessment of 5 per cent
of the amount of tax unpaid, plus 1
percent interest for each full month
during which it remains unpaid.
In addition to the $1,000 and ST.
600 personal exemptions, taxpayers
are allowed an exemption of 5000 for
each person dependent upon them for
chief support if such person is under
eighteen years of age and incapable
of self-support. Under the 1917 act,
this exemption was allowed only for
each dependent "child." The head
of family who supports one or
more persons closely connected with
him by blood relationship, relation
ship by marriage, or by adoption-is
entitled to all exemptions allowed a
married person
The normal rate of tax under the
new act is 6 per cent of the first 81
600 of net income above the exemp-
tons, and II per cent of the net in
come in excess of $4,000. Incomes
surtax ranging from 1 per cent of
in excess of $4,000 are subject also to
the amount of the net income be-
: tween $4,000 and $4,000 to SIS per
cent of the net income above $1,OOO,-
600.
Payment of the tax may be made
IN full at the time of filing return or
in four installments, on or before
March Is, on or before June Is, on
or before September Is, and on or
before December Is.
Revenue officers will visit every
county in the United States to aid
taxpayers in making out their returns
The date Of their arrival and the To-
cation of their offices may be ascer-
tanned by inquiring at Offices of col
Iectors of internal revenue, postoff1ces
and banks. Failure to see officers,
however, does not relieve the taxpay-
er of his obligation to file his return
and pay his tax within the time speci-
fed by law. In this case taxpayers
must seek the Government, not the
