NO EXTENSION FILING RETURNS
Necessary to Get Initial Tax Payments in By
 March 15.

That there VIII be no general exten- sion of time beyond March 18th for the filing of returns and for the pay ment of Income and Excess Profits taxes due on that date, is the decision of Daniel c. Roper, Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The announcement was made today by Col'ector James J. Walsh, immediately following the ap- proVal by the Senate and House of the report of theeconferees on the new Revenue Bill.
 Tt is necessary to get the initial tax payments in by March 18th" says Commissioner Roper. No other course is possible Some months ago, the Treasury issued certificates of indebt- 1 edness to an amount approdmating l $500, ,000 000, mat ing March 15th. The first payment of the Income and Fix i"ess Profits Taxes for 1918 was planned for that date, to meet this huge obligation.
 The American people have proven that there is no emergency too great to be met and solved by cooperation. This present situation is another emergency which can be overcome by cooperative effort. The Bureau ex- tends it's every force toward this end, land l am relying upon the De"0'e to meet the situation whole -heartedly, "The Internal Revenue Bureau must carry out the program pre- scribed in the new law, which re- quires all returns for 1918 to be filed quires the first quarterly payment or
 
 | before that date.
 | Every taxpayer who can possibly do so is urged to make full payment of his income tax on or before March 15. The quarterly payment method is intended for taxpayers whose financing of the tax at one time would tend to upset local financial condi- | tions.
 'The approval of the report of the conferees by the Senate and House of Representatives brings the new l Revenue Bill to the point where Ii may be assumed to be law. The In- ternal Revenue Bureau has been making preparations to collect the taxes which it provides. and is now putting all of it's efforts into aiding the taxpayers to fulfill the obligations imposed.
 ''The Bureau has arranged to send an advisory force of several thou sands of deputies and agents to assist taxpayers. These officers will be sta toned at convenient points where they may be consulted without charge.
 ''The forms for the tax returns are being printed and all forms will be in the hands of collectors between Feb. Is and March l."

EXPORTS OF AUTOMOBILES
 FROM THE UNITED STATES

Automobiles exported from ths United States since the beginning ot the industry in this country have ex- ceeded $70O,O0O,O00 in value. A com pilation by The National City Bank of New York shows that the tota value of passenger automobiles ex- ported from 1902, the first year in which the reports were recorded by the government, down to the present time is S293, 100000, commercial ma chimes $190 100000, parts of auto mobiles $132,000,OC0, tires $7O,O00,- 900, and engines $18,O00,000. Even these figures do not include the ship ments to Hawaii and Porto Rico since those islands are classed as GUS toms districts of the United States. and as the shipments to these islands aggregate between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 per year ii might be said that the value of automobiles and parts thereof passing out of contin- ental United States since the begin ming of the industry has aggregated $T05, 100000.
 Prior to tfe war the bulk of the automobiles exported were passenger cars and in fact the value of com mercial cars was so small that the government did not state them sep arately prior to the fiscal year 1913, in which year the total value of ! commercial cars exported was s1,- 737,O00 against SPA, 4,276, 900 for pas senger cars. In the fiscal year 1915, however, the demands of the war brought the total of commercial ma chimes to a figure higher than that of passenger machines. the total value of commercial machines ex- ported in 1915 having been $S9, Al, GOO and of passenger machines S21, 114,000. In 1916 commercial ma chimes were again in the lead, $56, S06,0o0 against 40,S60, 900 for pas senger machines. In 1917 and 1918 i however, the value of commercial machines exported was slightly less than that of passenger machines. The total number of machines ex- ported since the beginning of the governments record in 1902 Is pas senger machines 316,629, commercial 1 machines n ,615. A very large pro- portion of the commercial machines | exported went, of course, to Europe and largely for war purposes. Of the | 21, ,265 commercial machines exported in 1916, the high record year of the exportation of machines of this type
 $500 went to the United Kingdom
 5,681 to France, S,909 to Russia in
 Europe, 1,170 to Russia in Asia, and only 2,00O to all other countries o1
 the world. In 1918 of the 12.19s commercial machines exported, 5.252
 went to Great Britain, 2.754 tc
 France, and 406 to Russia while the
 number to other countries was B.
 7S5, indicating a growth in the movement to the countries other than
 engaged In war.
 Of the 52,30s passenger machines
 exported in 1918. 129S1 went tc
 Canada, 4.3o7 to Australia, 325 te
 Argentina, 3,399 to Chile. 2.961 tc
 Cuba, 2,142 to British South Africa
 1.S16 to New Zealand and 1,714 tc
 the Philippine Islands.
 About 6s per cent. of the 12,2OC
 commercial machines exported 1T
 1916 went to Europe, while of ths I 52,s 300 passenger machines exported l in that year only per cent. went tt Europe.

E1Oughton Tells of
 Shell That Killed
 Gallant Major Rowe

Rev. Roy M. Houghton probably stepped into place among those men, some of national reputation, who have been speaking at the meetings for men at the Y. M. c. A. Sunday after noon. His story was told rapidly and yet we'll.
 Leaving New York on April 3rd on the S0th he found himself under the German gun fire at Mt. Sec. Shortly he was sent with the wonderful Yan- kee Division to the Toul sector and later at battle of Chateau-T -Thierry. His unusual power to draw word pictures brought that wonderful and terrible battle seemingly into the gym nasium itself. He told how when it started when the Yankees actually
 broke through the German divisions
 how he could scarcely keep up with
 the American troops although there were fighting a retreating army. He dispensed with what cigarettes, cho-
 colate and candy he had and hurried
 back for another supply. Even
 though he had nothing to do but to move forward the haste of our won derful soldiers was such that it took him many hours to catch up with | them again. In these two deliveries he and the men who like himself | carried supplies on their backs gave away about a thousand dollars worth of chocolates and other supplies. Capt. Thompson told him that the
 half cake of chocolate which he gave each of his men was all some of them
 had had to eat for thirty-six hours.
 Knowing that 1t would be impossible 1 to go back to his base of supplies and
 overtake the troops again he asked ! if he might accompany them and
 Major Rowe said he might and asked him to go in his company. During one of the battles he left the Major i for a little while to go to another group and on his return found that l the Major had suffered a direct hit practically tearing away the portion ! of his body below the waist. They had planned to sleep together that
 night. The next morning he went to
 find his body that it might have de- i cent burial and with others who lov-
 ed him and were determined that he | should have such attention it took l them the entire day to dig the grave l because the Germans kept shelling 1 their company whenever they were at
 work. They would have to hurry un- l der cover and then come back later and to dig this shallow grave in that manner it took them an entire day. l This gives some idea of the terrible and accurate gunnery.

SERDIANS DESTITUTE OF CLOTHES
 ASK AID OF UNITED STATES

which to work, and unless clothing is sent in time for the planting season they cannot start their crops, and will be faced by famine.
 "The men are already broken in health, crippled and tubucular. The women, worn out by the struggle for existence, are bent and aged. The children-(all under eight years of age have died, for milk and chocolate have not been tasted in Serbia for three years) are anaemic and tuber- cular. Yet in spite of physical ham dicaps, these brave people are eager to rebuild Serbia. and we are appeal ing to our American allies for cloth ing in which they can work. Under clothing, outer garments, and espec- tally footwear, must be sent at once to Serbia if thousands of lives are to be saved.
 I've also ask strips of cloth of any length. The Serbs can do wonders with a bit of cloth. It can be used as a head covering, 8 shawl skirt, child's garment, or cut into strips for puttees or even made into "shoes" Serbian women have sacri- 1IEeu LheIT oIu tapestries, carpets ana upholsteries to make shoes for their children. If worn out leather shoes are given, they cut and patch up rough soIes, wrapping over them square of cloth. Serbia begs a piece of cloth from America"
 Mime. Grouitch formerly was an American woman who was in Serbia through the war and, after organiz- ing and working in a field hospital there, was forced to take part in the famous retreat over the Albanian mountains, seeing hundreds of young poys, girls and women die along the roadside for lack of proper food and clothing

New York, Feb. lO-"Send g ship load of clothing to Serbia,' is the plea of Madame Slavko Grouitch, wife of the minister to this country from the new kingdom of Serbs. Greats and Slovenes, who started yesterday an organized effort to obtain from the American people the material des- perately needed by Serbians.
 Not only manufactured clothing but cloth by the yard and especially footwear is desired, according to Mme. Grouitch, honorary chairman of the Serbian Aid Fund Clothing Committee, which has undertaken the task of collecting the clothing and which has its headquarters at 338 Madison avenue, this city. Arrange ments have been made to receive there all express or parcel post ship ments. Transportation to Serbia has been arranged through the Washing ton legation of the new Jugo-Slay kingdom.
 Tn many Serbian families there is but one wearabIe garment, said Mme, Grouitch. During the war, Serbia was so nearly inaccessible that relief work was almost impossible. Since Serbia Is 96 per cent a farming coun- try, there was little merchandise In the whole kingdom, and the first Aus trian invasion of 1914 completely devastated the richest quarter. In successive invasions, all moveaIble goods-furniture, clothing, blows and cattle were stolen so that mon their return from exile, the Serbians found their country stripped of everything. In order to live, they mus work their farms. The men are making rude implements and the women trying to construct looms. But they have no raw materials with

Indian Inspector Here
On Competency Work
Col Jane. H. Mclaughlin Arrived .t
Fort Yates Monday and viii
Remain About Month.

That large number of Indians
OF the Standing Rock reservation
may receive fee. patents is surmiscd
from the fact that Col. James Nc
Laughlin, Indian Inspector, will
be at the Agency for several weeks,
although he would neither affirm
nor deny that such was the case
when seen by Pioneer reporter
Tuesday evening. A rule of the
interior department ia that no mat
ters may be. given for publication
except through the sanction of the
secretary Of the interior, and fur.
ther. the inspectors action regard
ing the granting OF patents is sub
-ject to review. although it seems
that In the case Of Colonel McI.augh-
lin, his recommendations, with that
of supt. Kitch, are most generally
do IF'
confirmed.
Upon other than official matters,
Colonel Mclaughlin talked freely
and with his long career in govern
ment service and wide acquaintance
with public men and his frontier
experience he isa most interesting
conversationalist. He has been in
the government service for nearly
~ years, "a years as Indian agent
and over "a years in the Indian
service at Washington. He has
held commissions signed BY twelve
different presidents Of the United
States. He was agent Of the STAN
ding Rock, located At Fort Yates
from 1881 to 1896, and had pre-.
viously spent ten years at Fort
Totten. He. has; many friends on.
the reservation among the old tim
ers and his visit here is a source. ,.of
pleasure to them. |,
