DEDEAGATCH, Bulgaria, Feb.
IA. = The extreme difficulty of
transport through Serbia and the
ruinous condition of the country's
railways as a result of wanton de-
struction wrought by Bulgarians
and Austrians in their forced re-
treat is strikingly shown by the
fact that the American Red Cross,
in order to get relief supplies to
the Nish station, then north to
Adrianople, then west to Sofia and
finally across the Bulgarian bor-
der to Prot, a total distance of
more than 500 miles.
The regular railroad route north
from Saloniki to Nish is only 275
miles and can be travelled in ordi-
nary circumstances in "a hours.
Red Cross supplies have taken 10
days to reach their destination.
From Uskub to Belgrade, nearly
500 miles, the railroad at points
is wholly destroyed and dozens of
bridges and tunnels r in ruins.

olution, which probably is one rea-
son for his retirement.
General Count Bothmer was the
only Bavarian other than Crown
Prince Rupprecht and Prince Leo
pold to lead a whole army. He
had retired in 1909, but was re-
called to active service for the
war and was given command OF an
army corps in the Linsingen army
and with it stormed Zwinin, the
Russian position on the Stryi river.
AS a reward for his success he re-
ceived command of the southern
army and was assigned to cover
Galicia, which he protected against
numerous Russian assaults. It was
his army that finally drove the
Russians out OF Galicia in the sum
mer of 1917.

WAR WORKERS FROM
PORTO RICO RETURN
TO THEIR HOMES
LIKE UNITED STATES BUT
WEATHER is TOO
COLD

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Feb. IA.
More than IL Porto Rican war
workers in the United States have
just returned to the island, we'll
dressed, prosperous and in high
spirits. Most of them confessed
they had real money in their peck
cts, some comfortable amounts,
and they seemed to enjoy their
free trip to the United States.
Most of them appeared to have be-
come metropolitan in dress and
bearing. Some left the steamship
pier to go to their homes in auto
mobiles.
One war-worker gave his impress
sions of New York by saying it
was "too cold there and no rice
and beans, Porto Rican STYLE" The
men had been working in places
from New York to New Orleans.
Many of them said the only reason
they returned was that they could
not stand the cold weather. Vir-
tually all the Porto Rican workers
now have returned from the Unit
ed States.

Won DER LANCKEN
NOW IN HOLLAND
EDITH CAVELL'S MURDERER
STANDS IN LINE WITH UN-
WASHED REFUGEES

THE HAGUE, Feb. 10. - Baron
Won der L~ancken, formerly German
civil governor of Belgium, sought
refuge in Holland when the Ger
mans retreated from Belgium. Won
der Lancken was the man to whom
the American minister, Brand
W%hitlock, delivered his vain appeal
to spare the life of Edith Cavell,
the English nurse who was exc
cuted by the Germans in October,
1915, for aiding the British, French
and Belgian soldiers to escape
from Belgium. Won der Lancken
then told Hugh Gibson, secretary
of the American legation, that the
sentence imposed by the military
governor on Miss Cavell was final
and that the civil governor could
not override it.
When o der Lancken arrived
here he went to the German lega-
ton, but in order to obtain food
cards he had to apply to the po-
lice station, where he failed mis-
erably in his efforts to obtain pref
erential treatment as a "distin-
guished visitor" A chance caller
there found him in line with a
group of unwashed refugees, his
well-groomed figure out of keep
ing with his surroundings. He was
compelled to stand in line for two
hours before his wants were at
tended to.
To one who remembers the time
when to get a word from Won der
Lancken in Brussels it was neces-
sary to give two days notice, after
which one had to struggle through
a bodyguard of naughty, suspicious
underlings, the spectacle of this
exquisite specimen of Prussian
junkerdom waiting his turn in the
file amid the grimy proletariat af-
forded an excellent illustration of
"the times that are changed"

NEW YORK, Feb. Is. = Fifteen
cargo ships with a dead weight
tonnage of 1O3,692 were lost dur
ing 1918 by the naval overseas
transportation service, according to
a report made public today by
the district supervisor of the
third naval district. The removal
of the ban of secrecy, vital during
the war as a shield to those YES
sells and their crews, d%iscloses that
six ships, a~ggregating 42,627 tons,
were destroyed by enemy activity,
five vessels with a combined tom
mage of 44,071 tons, were sunk in
collisions and four vessels, total
ing 1924 tons, were destroyed by
fire and explosion.
The report traces the growth of
the naval overseas transportation
service since the time of its or
ganization late in 1917 and de-
scribes the part played by it in
transporting food, munitions and
supplies for troops and naval YES
sells abroad. Seventy-two ships

Bishops Peter J. Muldoon of Rock
ford, ILL.,; Joseph Schrembs of To-
ledo, Ohio; William T. Russell of
Charleston s. c., and Auxiliary
Bishop Patrick j. Hayes of New
York. AS members of the war
councils administrative committee
they represent the Catholic HER
archy of America in general direc-
ton of war work in this country
and overseas.
Declaring that "the deep unrest
so emphatically and widely voiced
throughout the world is a most
serious menace" the bishops held
up social Justice and a c~ontented
people" as the only safeguards of
peace.
The authors of the report dis
claimed any attempt to formulate
a comprehensive scheme Of recon
struction. Their recommendations,
it was stated, were confined to
reforms that seemed to be desir-
able and also obtainable within a
reasonable time, and to those gen.
eral principles which should serve
as a guide for more distant devel-
opments.,

IS FACING
GREAT CRISIS WISELY

SOFIA, Feb. IA. - Bulgaria is
in the throes of a political crisis
which will require the greatest
wisdom for its solution.
She must liquidate the military
and political disaster and the bad
effects of the personal regime of
King Ferdinand which extended
through a period of 25 years. She
must restore her standing with her
alienated foreign friends, and by
wise concessions and reforms fore
stall the spread Of extreme doc
trines among a large and some
what susceptible population. Hear
ty cooperation of all political par
ties is evidence of their earnest
ness to meet the situation wisely.
The country now has a coalition
government, the cabinet being
composed of men of six different
parties. This is the third cabinet
change since last June, and each
change has seen an increasing
number of factions represented in
the official family. To an Ameri-
can the popular character of the
Bulgarian government is something
of a revelation, no less than a doz-
en- different parties being formally
represented in parliament.
Bulgaria has taken precautions
against internal troubles through

The value of a cargo ship is
realized when it is known that

including 100 ships ready to be

Crews of navy cargo ships are
said to have endured the greatest
hardships of the war. Their lives
constantly endangered, they faced
the perils of the deep, the menace
of an unseen fog, the danger of
collision and the liability to instant
death by accidents from inflam-

The allied military authorities

supplies by ship to Fiume, on the
Adriatic. The food and clothing
situation in northern Serbia is re-

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. ID
Adoption of minimum wage sched-
ules, maintenance in general of the
wage levels attained during the
war and permanent establishment
of the national war labor board
and the United States employment
service were advocated as essen
tials of a just reconstruction in a
report made public today by four
Catholic bishops constituting the
administrative committee of the
national Catholic war council.
While favoring, in the interests
of health and morality, prohibit
ton of child labor and reduction
to the smallest practical limits of
the employment of women in in
dustry, the committee urged equal
pay for women doing equal work
with men.
1t declared also for insurance
of workers against illness, old age,
and unemployment until wages
are high enough to tide owe such
periods, for abolition of monopo-
lies, for continuance of heavy tax
es on large incomes and excess
profits, for cooperative merchan-
dising in necessities to reduce the
cost of living and for government
assisted colonization of ~unoccupied
farm lands by demobilized soldiers
and sailors.
AS a measure outside its present
reconstruction program, but of
value in solving the problems of
capital and labor, the committee
urged gradual participation by la
Dor in the management and even
tually in the ownership of indus
try.

RUSSIANS FIGHT
RED D|CTAT0RS
PARIS COMMITTEE DEPLORES
TENDENCY TO BELITTLE
EFFORTS

PARIS, Feb. 10. = Members of
the Russian committee in Paris de-
plore the tendency of some news
papers in the allied countries to
belittle the actual work Of Russians
in Russia to overthrow the soviet
government headed by Lenine and
Trotzky. Prince Lvoff and his
associates on the committee point
to the thousands of Russian Off
GERS and soldiers executed by soviet
order as proof Of the activity of
Russians within Bolshevik terri
tory against the soviet dictators.
In a conversation with a CORE
spondent of the Associated Press,
DR.. Boris A. Bakhmeteff, the Rus
sian minister to the United States,
asserted that only a small part of
the former Russian empire actu-
ally is under Bolshevik control and
that the Russian troops predOmi-
nate in the army that has driven
the Red forces out of Siberia and
are threatening soviet authority
from north and south Russia.
Boris Savinkoff, who was minis
ter of war under the Kerensky re-
gime, who recently arrived in
Paris, is typical of many Russian
leaders who have been in Russia
striving for the restoration of more
sane order. %Savinkoff, like many
other fearless opponents of the
Bolsheviki, has been working con-
stantly in Bolshevik territory for
the last year. He planned the
capture of Yaroslav last July, a
movement which threatened the
overthrow of the Moscow govern
ment for a time and was put down
by the Bolsheviki at great cost OF
life and supplies.
Although the B~olsheviki put a
high price on Savinkoff's head, he
managed to escape them through
various DISCUSSES and s%ubterfuges
and left Russia by way of Siberia,
coming from V~ladivostok directly
to France by sea. His activities
extended into nearly every section
of Russia and he had many mar
row escapes. OF all the prominent
social revolutionists who have been
| pitted against the Bolshevik re-
CINE, Savinkoff is said to be the
most feared by Lenine and Trotz-
ky. He figured prominently as
one of the most prominent terror
lists under the imperial regime.

representative and parliamentary
discussion rather than in dictator
ships, street outbreaks or other
forms of social upheaval. The
country breathes freer in the alb
sence of Ferdinand, even though
it is occupied by entente troops.
The old chamber has been re-
tanned in office to avoid unneces-
sary risks and the agitation al
ways attendant upon national cleo
lions. Premier Radoslavoff, who
vas looked upon as Germany's
dupe, had at nc time more than a
bare majority, and that majority
consisted of Turks, who, in Bull
garia, have equal rights with the
~Bulgarians.
Since Ferdinand's exit the good
behavior of the people has been
in remarkable contrast to the sit
uation prevailing in Russia. This
is explained by the assertion that
Bulgaria is a virtual democracy
and has laid the basis for popular
contentment.
There is equitable distribution of
the executive, uncorrupted courts
and social legislation. Universal
suffrage has been enjoyed since the
creation of the state, and the peo-
pie have proportionate guarantees
of popular rights.

R. R. DIRECTORS
PLAN APPROVED
Proposal Similar to Senator Cummlns
Plan of Operation

Washington, Feb 6.-Director Gen.
eral Hines today explained to the sen
ate interstate commerce committee
that in regrouping the railroads in ac-
cordance with his proposal regional
reorganization under private manage
ment he would include one or two big
systems as the backbone of each
group. This grouping would have to
be determined by some governmental
tribunal and not by congress. and in
general he held il wise to divide the
existing big systems.
In this way six or more big organi-
cations would be created in the coun-
try.
State commissions should be used
to a large extent he said in determin-
ing local rates.
Senator Cummins of Iowa said Mr..
Hines proposal was remarkably sim
liar to what he had advocated for
years and declared railroads should
not be returned TO private ownership
until a definite program had been
agreed upon.

INCOME A
Law IS PASSED
March 18th, First Date For Payment
Of Tax

Washington. Feb. S.-The war reve-
nue. bill. the greatest tax measure in
history, is designed to raise $6.000,-
600, 900 this fiscal year and $4,000, 000,-
900 next year.
The taxes provided constitute a 90
per cent reduction from those that
would have been imposed had the war
continued.
The bill is a substitute for all previ-
GUS income tax and war tax laws In
come tax provisions are simplified and
regulations changed in important re-
spects. Income tax schedules are to
be filed by March Is and the taxpayer
may pay his axes in four periodical
i~nstallments, if he so elects.
This means that individuals and
business interests will have to make
great haste in preparing and filing
their returns, since forms for the re-
ports will no be available fortwo or
three weeks. The first installment
paying of 25 per cent will be due
March Is.
If any business interests are not
able I o prepare final returns by March
Is, Carter Glass, secretary of the
treasury, said, they may report APP
proximate figures on profits and in
come and later file a supplementary
report.
They also may begin Immediately to
make the necessary calculations I'm
light of the revenue bill as reported.
In deciding to make no extension of
time, the treasury reversed its former
opinion.
The rates provided for next years
income and profits taxes are two
thirds the rates of this years levy.
Exempt from reckoning of the in
dividual ncome tax are $l.00G Incomes
for unmarried and $4,000 for a mar
ried man, 5000 for each dependent.
dividends from business already taxed
and interest on government and war
finance corporation bonds.
Upon the remaining net income the
normal tax for a citizen or resident OF
the United States is per cent on the
first $4,000 and IL per cent on all
above that amount. For a nonresi-
dent, the normal a is IL per cent on
the entire remaining net income.
The surfaces are those of the senate
bill without change, running from l
per ZEN on $4,000 to $4,000 up to Go
per cent on all Incomes above $1,000
900.
