AMERICAN DEAD IN FRANCE

The United States Army recruiting

received the following information
from the War Department., Washing
ton, D. c., relative to recent arrange
ments made by the United Statels
Government for the internment Of
of American dead IN National GENET

The number of American Cemeter-
les in Europe has recently been re-
duced from nearly 2400 to about 700.
A large reduction in this number wifi

Of concentration in which the milit-
airy forces of England, France and the

ed. Il

the United States Department Of Agri-
culture, when they met this morning
to launch the StGte and National
crusade for Better Sires-Better
Stock" agreed that the primary
meaning of is economy.
The scrub hog requires number
of bushels of corn to make 200 pounds
Of pork. The purebred or high-grade
hog takes the same number of bu-
shells Of corn and makes 300 pounds of
pork. The purebred or high grade
COW makes three gallons of milk out
Of the same quantity Of silage that
the scrub cow uses to make a gallon
and a half Of milk. These figures are
not meant to be scientifically exact,
Of course, but merely to illustrate the
principle. The result is that the far
mer gets more pounds Of salatable
product out Of his feed when he uses
%purebred sires at the head Of his
herds and flocks. He gets more
money and his family lives better.
But something else happens. When
he sells more pounds Off better class
OF meat or more gallons of, rich milk,
ne feeds the city family better than
ne did when he kept scrub stock. The
final result of purebred sires is that
the farmer makes more none and
the city family gets more and bet
ter food, probably at lower prices.
The crusade, the experts say, even
tually will tend to result in reducing
the cost of living to the consumer
without taking the difference out of
the pocket of the producer. For that
reason, they point out, the city man
has a definite, money interest in the
better sires crusade. While he can
hardly be expected to put the same
amount of effort into it that the live
stock breeder should, he is expected to
give encouragement and aid to the
program whenever the opportunity Of
fers. And there will be no lack of
opportunity, particularly in the small
Ter cities and towns where the farmers
are in close contact with the city bus
mess men.

from France to their homes has not 10
come the subject Of international ag-
reement, such removal has been dis
approved by French authorities for
a certain period of time by provision

SUF FRAGISTS
 WON'T PAY FINES

Boston, Feb. 27.---The ten members of the National Wonan's party who remain in the Suffolk county Jail be- cause of failure to pay fines of s each on account of a demonstration on the line of the President Wilson parade Monday, had apparently settled today into serving out their ten day sen tences. They prepared formal state ments that they would not pay their fines, or allow any other person to pay them. This attitude was taken as a means of avoiding forced release such as that which came last night to three of their fellow prisoners when a man unknown to them paid their fines. All the women ats the regular jail fare today and were allowed to do as they pleased in their cells, instead of being assigned to labor.

ALLIES TO AID
 CRIPPLED MEN

New York. Fcb. 27-(Correspon- dence Of The Associated Press. )- Officials of governmental agencies of seven nations and dominions will meet here from March IS to 22 to plan for the reha bilitation of disabled men, civilians as well as soldiers, and put them back on the payroll The con ference will be held under the aus pices of the Red Cross Institute for Crippled and Disabled Men.
 The authorities to be represented are the British Minister of Pensions, the French National Institute for War Cripples, the Belgian Military Insti- tute for Crippled Soldiers the Italian Ministry of Pensions. the Canadian InyaIded Soldiers Commission, the Australian Department of Repatria- ton, and the Bureau of Re-eduCaion and Reconstruction of the American Red Cross in France. Individual or ganizatiOns of other countries also will be represented.
 Authorities in the United States who are expected to attend are representa- tives of the Federal Board of Voca- tiOnaI Education, which is providing for American disabled soldiers train ing for self-suppOrt; the Division of Physical Reconstruction of the Office Of the SurgeOn-NIe or the army, which is providing restorative treat ment and education during the con valescent period; the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, whiL1 furnishes arti- fcial limbs to soldiers of the Ameri- can Expeditionary Force, and pays disability compensation; and the Ame-rican Red Cross Department of Civilian Relief, which, through it's home service sections, provides so- ciaI after-care for disabled men.
 To make disabled soldiers or civ iHans eIf-supporting rather than to permit them to lose initiative and lapse back upon the support of war pensions or workmen's compen- sation relief is one of the aims of the conference.
 Pointing out that many more men are disabled annually in industry than have been incapacitated by military service, the authorities who have an interest in the cripple are planning to give the civilian the same relief as the soldier.

In explaining this today the internal rev enue bureau specified the following items to be regarded as compensation to be exempted; living quarters, heat and light allowance; clothing allow ances, communication or rations,- marks manship or extra duty pay, travelling pay to discharged men, mileage al- Iowance and allowances in lieu of subsistence while travelling under or ders. Family allowances paid by the government since June 25 1918, to de- pendents of men in military or naval service also are exempt from income taxes.
 Employers who paid salaries to em- ployes temporarily in government ser vice may deduct these payments in
 making out tax returns, regarding them as business expenses. This ap- plies to sums paid soldiers or sailors and men serving the government at a. dollar a year.
