Want the ships Scrapped.

The French opposition does not arise
from any desire to preserve the German
fleet for the Germans: they want TO
have the ships scrapped and the CLEAN
ings contributed toward reconstruction
OF France. Such a complicated mech
ansm as a modern hattleship or even
destroyer contains engines, dynamos,
thousand mechanical appliances which
the French believe could be turned TO
account.
The number OF parts would be large,
while even the metal itself would be
valuable. All could be used in mer-
chant vessels, some OF it perhaps in fac
tories. This idea is typically French,
illustrating their frugality and imagira-
ton. To them It would he poetic justice
that motors which once drove the fleet
that waited for Der Tag" should throb

British DO Not Want Them.

This might arouse opposition from
some of the other allies, because there
ere many claimants, and an equitable
distribution would be difficult Never
theless the British say, they do not
really want the German ships. partly be-
cause they are in bad condition and
partly for the reason that they are OF
a type that would not fit into the British
navy. The Americans here gradually
have come around to Admiral Bensou's g
view, expressed originally two months
ago until practically all agree with the
British.
The British believe the best way to
end militarism is TO stamp II out in its
lair, which Is Germany, and the best
means OF doing this is TO take the Ger
mans tools OF war away from them
and break them up before their eyes.
The German feet naturally interests the
British most because It was built as

thereby large numbers of men.
We still had few air fighters at
the front, and hence no protec-
ton except the anti-craft guns.
We were now getting accustom-
ed TO the fighting and death and
destruction wrought, and were
rapidly becoming seasoned sol
diers. While we were in the
trenches what rest time the Ger
mans gave us was devoted to
wading mud, and planning cam
paigns Of battle against the coot-
les and rats.
We remained at the front here
in the trenches for fourteen days.
Twice a day a detail was sent
back to the support position,
where the cooking was done, to
bring food for the half platoon.
The cooks dumped all the food
into one can-but il was mighty
good anyway. They usually
brought us bacon, and "slum"
mixture Of water, meat, turnips,
tomatoes and potatoes, and
pot Of good real American coffee
Bread was also supplied US. It is
needless to say we enjoyed every
meal.
Every week chocolate in quar-
ter or half-pound bars, and to-
bacco, were issued to the men,
While we were on French rations,
we got only one package Of tobac-
60 per week to the squad (eight)
But under American rations, we|
were well supplied.
About July e, we went back
to support position, where VEL
stayed ] about 4 week, during
which time we continued ID drilI|

Good Bills at Burtis

Oliver Morosco's production Of
"Cappy Ricks," a charming comedy
by Edward E. Rose, based on Pc
ter B. Kyne's humorous stories
which attracted thousands Of read
ers to the Saturday Evening Post,
will come to the Burtis tonight and

Tom Wise. who is acknowledged
to be Americas premier character
comedian. is the star Of the COM
pany and will be seen in the part
Of the rugged old sailor whose
rough exterior is but mask for a
gentle nature and a heart OF gold.
The stage version follows closely
the of Mr.. Kyne's story with the
result that local theatfe-goers can
look forward to an evening Of gen.
uine humor, with a touch Of pathos
here and there which adds tone to
the entertainment.
No play Of recent years has "re-
peated" with the sensational sue

tons of Turn to the Right" on its

The date of their arrival and the

these officers, however, does not re-

A HEAVY PENALTY UNLESS
INCOME TAX RETURNS ARE
FILED BEFORE MARCH Is

Washington, Feb. 25.-Work on the
collection of $6,OOO,O0O,OOO has been
begun by the Bureau Of Internal
Revenue. 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 1918 was $1,000 or more, and of
every married person whose net in
come was $4,000 or more. Persons
whose net income equalled or exceeded
these amounts, according to their
martial status, must file 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 a re-
turn on time, a fine Of not more than
$1,000 and an additional assessment
of rs per cent of the amount of tax
due.
For "willfully refusing" to make a
return on time, a 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 $4,000
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,
a fine of not more than $1,000 and an
additional assessment of 5 per cent
of the amount of tax unpaid, plus 1
per cent interest for each full month
during which it remains unpaid.
In addition to the $1,000 and $4,000
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
a family-one 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. @- .'.a.
. The normal rate Of tax under the
new act is 6 per cent of the first 81 900
of net income above the exemptions,
and ~ per cent of the net income in
excess of $4,000. Incomes in excess
of $4,000 are subject also to a surtax
ranging from per cent of the amount
of the net income between $4,000
and $4,000 to 65 per cent of the net
income above 100000.
Payment of the tax may be made
