BY w. R McCALLUM.

Speculation aroused by the proposed
visit to this country of the four lead
ers of British golf-Harry vardon,
Braid-seems to have led to the gen
eral opinion in this country that these
four world golf leaders are sure to
come here for the open championship
at Brae-Burn. Early this winter-in
fact. shortly after the armistice was
signed-it was announced that the
four British golf leaders would make
another attempt to annex the American
crown in professional golf. About
Christmas time seemingly authentic
report came from England which said
that they would not make the trip this
year.
So American golfers, in spite of
columns of press notices about the
games of the BritisherS and their re-
spective merits, are not yet certain OF
seeing Britains greatest players IN
action. Chick Evans, present holder
of the American open and amateur
perhaps has some IN :
side information when he says that
British and Canadian golfers who
are to tour this country next summer
will meet with sitter opposition than
they expect" Chick may be in closer
touch than any one else with British
golf and may have reason TO conn
IDENTIFY predict that the four great
Britishers will visit these shores next
summer.
Americans Steadily Improving.
Whatever is the true fact. the
Rritishers will meet with stiff oppo-
sition" if they come. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that their games have not
greatly improved in the last four
years of comparative inaction. Dur
ing that period. or at least during three
years of that time. American amateurs
AID professionals have been improving.
until now, even with an almost com
plete cessation of competitive golf, II
NAV be said that this year Will see
higher standard of golf in America
than ever before
The last time vardon and Ray were
here was in 1913, the year FRANCIS
Ouimet, then practically unknown. de-
feated them in the triple play-oh IN
the open championship at the BROOK
line Country Club. Following the
championship. the pair made a SWING
the United States. playing at
all points except in the south, with
only one defeat recorded against
them. One of their closest matches
was held at the Ravisloe Club Of Chi
cago, where Chick Evans and Warren
K Wood essayed to play Engiands
best pair and were defeated by and
/. In this match Wood was away OF
form, and the whole burden OF hold
ing the two Britishers fell on Evans
Although the amateur
champion had card of 143 for the
thirty-six holes, the combined playing
of Vardon and Ray was too much for
him without the support of Woods
usually strong game. Following this
match, vardon and Ray went to Den
yer, and from there to the PACING
coast. where they played in series
of matches. Their trip to the United
states is said to have netted them
like $4,000.

game.

4 REGENT STATEMENT BY OAR TER GLASS, SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

Millions of Americans have con tributed in the most vital, tangible and necessary way to the winning of the war. They have loaned their dol lars to their country with no small sacrifice of personal comfort and en- ioyment, and have given largely of personal effort and service. For all time we have disproved the islander that Americans are a mOney-loving people, inca pablo of rising above ma cerialistic things. In the IS short months of the war the American peo- pie subscribed 1S,OOO.OOO,000 of Lib erty bonds and War Savings Cerhf- cates. The banking institutions and the people of the country financed the requirements of the war in anicipa- ton of the Liberty loans and of the taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1918 by the purchase of a total of $l2,5Q0,OOO 900 of Trea sury Certif- cates of Indebtedness, all of which had been retired or provided for out of taxes or bond issues at the time the armistice was signed.
 Tt Is vitally important that the treasury should continue in g most energetic way the sale of War Saw ings Stamps and Certificates Among the valuable and much needed lessons we have partly learned from the war is that Of thrift and intelligent eX- penditure. TElrift helped to win the war and will help us to take full ad- vantage of a victorious peace. It is, therefore imperative that We do no relax into old habits of wasteful ex- penditure and imperative that the habit of reasonable living Con the part of those Of both large nd small naeans), so easily acquired dursIlg the war period, be continued.
 Millions of our people have be- come holders of bonds of their gov ernment, but some of them seem 10 feel that they are under no further obligation to retain these bonds and they are selling them and using the money for unnecessary purposes or exchanging them for other securities of very doubtful value. So long as the United States needs to sell bonds those who hold the present issues should not dispose Of them except under the spur of urgent necessity. They have invested in the has
 ivy in the world and 1t is both to their own interest and to that of their gov ernment that these securities be re- tained."

HEAVY PENALTIES
 FOR TAX DODGERS
U. s. Attorney Crosby Says Full Exactions of Law
 Will be Taken.

Wilful violations of lhe new Income tax law are to be vigorously prosecu- ted in the Connecticut district says United States District Attorney John F. Crosby, who conferred with Col lection James J. Walsh of the inter- nal revenue department today and then gave out the following state ment;
 Any person who deNberteIy con calls tax liability. or who falsides a feturn in order to reduce or evade any internal revenue tax, or who de- Iibera ely abets such conCealment or fraud, finds arrayed against him the entire strength of this office pressing for the full civil and criminal penal ties. That is the attitude iowa. l the taX-dodger, express in one sen tence. Whether Le is moon sinner, a stealthy traficker in habit forming drugs, or juggler of income figures a delinquent in making the sworn return the law requires, or Q revenue violator of any other kind his office Is charged with the duty of hunting him out and exacing the full punishment provided in the law
 Help to Taxpayer.
 Towards the taxpayer who re-
 aims to comply with the internal revenue laws, fully and honestly. the government extends a helping hand Cooperation with the taxpayer is the watchword and objective of the in ternal revenue department
 There are three distinct classes of delinquency with which we have to deal First the taxpayer who had reasonable cause, brought about by
 
 control; secondly, the fellow who didn't realize his obligations; and thirdly, the person who wtlfuIly evad- ed compliance with the law.
 Various Penalties.
 ''As for the man who shows & req sonable cause within certain lines esta bIished by the bureau, no penal ties are asserted. All other delin- quents are more carefully investigated before prosecution is begun. Many of these ofenses are caused by ignorance and negligence. Failure to make the reports required by law may In some cases warrant severe penalty, as where the delinquent continues his deIin- quency after being warned of the pen alty for failure to make return. How ever. if the delinquent takes inmed- late corrective action and 1t Is clearly established through investigation that he did not wilfulIy violate the law, the bureau allows him to compromise his lia bility to specific penalty by tender Ing a nominal sum of money. In such instances the money Is not really in compromise but assessed to impress the taxpayer gainst future violations.
 But there is no relief. no compro- mise. for the man who wilfuIIy falsi- hes. He is chased with other law
