THIS WAS NOT a RICH MANS
WAR AND POOR MANS FIGHT
Those Who Are Gaining Most From
Effect of Struggle Are People
of Small Means.

Buyers of Government securitie
and experts who have studied the Ell
feet of the war on financial situatio
in the United States are pointing GU
that poor people in the United State
are gaining most from the effects O
of the war.
| The rich manufacturer is WATCHING
his profits go in the shape of war tax
es and war profits. Congress ha.
seen to that. The people with the
smaller incomes are losing proper.
tionally less through taxation. Fur
thermore, the money they have in
vested and will invest in government
securities and Liberty bonds will
make them collectively, the heaviest
creditors in the future.
If it were the other war around, if
the rich were financing the war by
the buying of bonds and the people
with the smaller incomes were doing
their war financing in the shape Of
taxes, the reverse would be true. If
that were the situation, then the poor
of the next generation would be tax
ed to pay the interest and the princi-
pal of the war loans that were held
by the rich. This is what happened
after the Civil War. AS it is now
the poor man with few liberty
bonds is in far different circumstan-
ces to what the same poor man
would have been after the Civil War.
Emphatically this was not "a rich
mans war and a poor mans fight. "
1t was everybody's fight as we all
know who watched the working Of
the draft law, but it will be the poor
mans profit If the poor man will just
have sense enough to hang on to his
Liberty Bonds and get more of them
at every opportunity.
That is why the poor man who is
wise in his day and generation will
buy as many Fifth Liberty notes
short term bonds) as he possible can
and hang on to them. He will buyI
as an investor, knowing that the rich
man who sought profit of the was is
seeing those profits going in the shape
OF heavy war profits taxatiOns and
that the rich mans money taken in
this taxation is being used to pay the
interest on the bonds held by the poor
man.
The Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 191?-19??, 1919-04-12

for holding on to your bonds and FOR
buying all you possibly can of the
Fifth Liberty Loan. That rs what
the Fifth and all OtEssr IOans may
reasonably be expected to do in years
to come. That is why people who
know and appreciate a good invest
ment claim tl5e u s. Liberty Bonds
are the best pieces Of investment pa
per that has ever been offered to the
people of the United States. These
bonds viii rise in value FROM this
time on.

The front is a mice" place, / tell
you. We have ball game in the deep
snow, and will have another today.
Today is the Russian Christmas and
nobody works.
We are dressed very warm and get
fine feed. so | am getting fat as a
hog. This country is full of nice furs
and It don't take many rubles to get
fur clothing. although Uncle Sam has
us loaded with fur clothes.
The Russian people are very queer
and live very funny. Their farms are
very small and all of red sticky clay
with no machinery and very small
horses.
Their horse wagon and harness Is
what got me when / first got here,
but the girls have got me now.
We go to parties, and | think they
, differ with the ones at home. We go
to a house where the girls are spin
ming and talk to them until time to
go home. They generally have an ac-
cordeon which plays the same music
all the time.
Rubles( worth about 12c each, are
very plentiful and we have Y. M. C.
A. and canteen next door, so we have
il very nice.
We live in nice big house and g
bunk for each man. So we have II
very nice for living. 1t is much cold
er than at home, but we get along
fine The sun comes up in the south
and does down in the south, so the
days are very short.
spent very fine Christmas and
that Is all / did spend.
We had all the eats imaginable and
Red Cross presents and very good
time.
We had everything but catfish and

Well will have to close now and

Dear Folks:
As have Just returned from a
three-day furlough will try TO tell
you about some of the sights / have
seen.
This is the first leave OF absence !
have had since have been over here.
The Third Army Corps has what Is
called a recreation center up at Neu-
weld, and | have been up there for
three days. Had good time. Every
thing was free for us.
They have big college building
fixed up for sleeping quarters. In
the building is a club room where
tney serve ice cream and cake from
$3.50 until 10 o'clock. They have an
orchestra playing all the time We
can read or write here. We take our
meals at the Hohenzollern Hotel. Up
slairsss big theatre where they have
shows every afternoon and evening.
had trip to one of the Kaiser's
castles on the Rhine. VIII send you
postal with a picture of the castle.
Everything in this castle dates back
to the years 1900 and 400 A. ID.
There is little chapel in the
castle and there are beautiful paint
ings all over the walls representing the
scenes of the Bible.
In the living rooms OF the former
kaiser's there are paintings on the
walls / also saw ancient war weap-
ons such as spears, bows, arrows, and
suits OF armor; also banners that had
been carried in ancient battles, and
they were all torn and mussed up.
Saw statutes of Siegfried. Joan Of
Arc, and William III. The castles
were all built long ago. 1t makes me
laugh when some of the u. S. papers
call them fortresses. One shot, well
placed, there would not be any castle.
/ am sending you a little booklet of
this castle. 1t is called Castle Stolz-
enfels.'
II has been showing a little today
the first time since Christmas.

AT THE GEM.

Woman" Maurice Tourneur's fem
inine epic which comes to the Gem
theater on March 1915, stands in at
least one respect as the most remark
able film Offering OF the year. WON
an" is different, indeed. so different
that 1t completely defles classification
No single descriptive name can be
given Woman" The beautiful Tour
neur production does not fall into any
one class IL is not melodrama.
Rather is II a study In womanhood of
remarkable psychological depth. While
II has plenty Of physical action, its
keynote Is mental. Neither is "Wom-
an" as spectacle. Ii Is intimate and
personal, the five episodes, with the
prologue and epilogue. telling the di-
rect story OF six women and six
men. Sometimes hundreds OF super
numeraries appear, as in the ancient
Roman interlude, but their appear
ances serve only as background. Di-
rector Tourneur has centered his in
terest in each episode upon one wo-
man.
Woman" Is not in any single CON
ventional photoplay form. II is a new
idea in script development The crit
icsof "The New York Times" enthus-
iastically termed the various episodes
Photographic ballads Mr.. Tourneur
has given audiences credit for intel
ligence and imagination.
Through legend, history and fairy
| lore which go to make up Woman
MIR. Tourneur has never forgotten
the human note, yet he has attained
II by avoiding the conventional. Under
Mr.. Tourneur's direction, Charles
Whitaker turned out a scenario OF
remarkable form. Critics have pro.
nounced Woman" a distinct step In
the direction OF the new and Ions
sought scenario OF the future.
Since Woman" absolutely battle,
classification. its unique qualities
must be granted. Undoubtedly this
is the reason for the remarkable in
terest manifested in Woman" by ex
hibitors and film fans all over IN,
