BRINGS WAR CLOSE TO HOME.
Local Rancher Learns of Starvation
Conditions Facing Many of His
Relatives in Belgium.

e. Lemoine. well known rancher and
stOckman of Pass Creek, was n visitor
in town yesterday and while here re-
ceived a letter which brings the re-
suits of the war in Belgium very close
to him. The missive was from n niece,
his sisters daughter, and was written
from M~archienne- au pont : Docherie.
Charleroi, Haineau, Belgium, and it
brought the disquieting news that the
woman's husband had died fyom star
walton and hat herself and four chill
dren were not far removed from such
a fate. Their total food supply, she
said, consisted of turnips. rutabagas,
beet and cabbage-nO meats or greas-
es, no bread nor cereals of any sort
nothing, in fact, but the four vegetables
mentioned Also she stated that they
had nc bedding, no clothing except the
very meager raiment with which they
were then clothed. INT that conditions
there were of h very worst, the coun-
try having been pillaged by the German
invaders to the extent of everything
eatable or of my value whatever. Mr..
Lemoine at once arranged for the for

hope of being able to relieve their dis

LABOR SHORTAGE FOR HARVEST.
Conditions Not Expected to Return TO
Normal Before Season of 1920,
Says Agricultural Dept.

Even if peace treaties should be
formally executed before the next har-
vest season, farm labor conditions in
the United States will not automaticaE
ly return in 1919 to pre-war% conditions.
Therefore the u. s. Department of Ag-
riculture is planning farm labor ae-
tivities for 1919.
Officials of the department suggest
that the farm labor situation in 1919
may he quite as serious as that of 1918.
a large part of IL army may remain
in Europe throughout the year.
The area of winter wheat sown last
fall is estimated to be 1873 per cent
greater than the year before, and this
item speaks a volume in regard to the
need for farm help this year.
The department plans to maintain its
organization that aided in supplying
farm labor in 1918. 1t will aim to tap
every source of emergency help and the
main effort will be conferred on placing
men permanently as helpers on the
farms. Permanent labor, employed the
year around under good living condi-
lions is believed to be the prime need
on literally millions of American
farms.

Income and Excess Profits Tax Returns.

That there will be no general extern
sion of time beyond March 18th for the
filing of returns and for the payment
of income and excess profits taxes due
on that date, is the decision of Daniel
CT Roper. commissioner of internal rev.
enue. This announcement is made by
Collector Mark A.. Skinner, following
the approval by the senate and house of
the report of the conferees on the new
revenue bill.
Mt rs nccessary-to git HI initial fax
payments in by March 18TH" said Mr..
Roper. NO other course is possible.
Some months ago the treasury issued
certificates of Indebtedness TO an
amount approximating 100000. 900,
maturing March 10. The first payment
1918 was planned for hat date, to meet
that huge obligation.
1.-The American peoples 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 extends its every
force toward this end, and l am rely
ing upon the people to meet h situa-
ton intellectually.
The internal yer bureau must
carry out the program prescribed in the
new law. which requires all returns for
1918 to be filed on or before March 10,
1919, and requires the first quarterly
payment or the entire payment to be
made on or before that date.
''The bureau has arranged to send an

tress.
This particular part of Belgium has
suffered greatly from the German in
vasion and has been under German
domination almost since the beginning
of Inc war. No mail has been allowed
to come or go between the natives and
the outside world, and Mr.. Lemoine had
beer unaware up to this time as to how
his relatives were faring. The niece
said that a letter written by Mr.. Lee
moline on December Is, 1914, had
reached her on December %, 1918, a
little over foul years from the date of
writing. She also stated that at the
time of her writing Qate in December
LAST, the censorship was still very
rigid and she didn't dare try TO tell
him very much about local conditions.
She told enough. however, to allow him
to realize that the situation for them
was very grave, and he is very anxious
to learn something regarding the con-
dition of a number of other relatives
who. when last heard froIn, were resid-
ing in the same vicinity.

DECENTRALIZATION BEING RUSHED
Official Dispensing of Uncle Sans Big
Army Now Gaining Momentum
Working at Top Speed.

General March announced AT Wash
ington last Saturday that demobiliza-
ton in the United States now is "on the
home stretch" Up to Friday last II to-
tai of 81, OBS officers and 1.033. SD men
had been discharged while the teal Or
dered for discharge had reached 1,442,-
600.
The rehabilitation machinery is now
at such a point of efficiency and opera
ton, he said, that it is capable of han
sibly send with available shipping. OF
the troops in the United States, only
the overhead detachments which must
be maintained for future demobiliza-
ton of returning units, will be left.
Up to January 81, 236,s24 men had
been returned from France. The de-
partment estimates that 100000 will
be returned during February. This is
an increase of 10000 over the January
total, due largely to the transformation
of 81 cargo vessels into transports.
The greatest military camp in the
world will be established at Brest,
when plans for extension of embarka-
ton facilities have been completed.
General March said Brest would be the
backbone of the American demobiliza-
ton system. 1t already has handled
81 per cent of the soldiers sent back to
the United States up to date, and its
capacity is to be doubled.

SUFFERED FOR THEIR FAITH
French Huguenots Driven Into Exile
by the Revocation Of the Edict
of Nantes.

The Huguenots were the Puritans Of
France in the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries.e The name was first
used about 1850; it's origin is I'M
known. The Huguenots suffered Sc
verely in the reigns Of Francis I and
his immediate successors, and after
1862 were frequently involved in war,
Under the leadership of such men as
Admiral Coligny and King Henry of
Navarro, afterwards Henry w Of
France. Coligny and from 10000 to
10000 others fell in the massacre Of
st. Bartholomew, August "a, 1872. It
is disputed in history whether this
was suddenly caused by the discov-
cry of Huguenot plots or had been
premeditated. In spite of all this,
they continued numerous and power
full and the edict Of Nantes, issued in
1893 by Henry " gave them full po-
Etical and civil rights. Their power
was broken after the surrender Of
LaRochelle and the revocation Of the
edict Of Nantes by Louis XIV in 1885,
and hundreds Of thousands of Hugue-
nots went into exile, going to Prus-
sH, Holland, Switzerland, England,
Scotland and America.
