 The war has become only a mem- ory in the minds of the thrifty and philosophical Bulgarian peasants, who are so absorbed in their agricultural .nu household pursuits that they have title time to think of the past. But Ill eyes are naturally turned to Paris where the destinies of Bulgaria are being weighed. The attitude of mind f the people might be described az one of hoping for the best but ex- pecting the worst"

GENERAL COMES AS AIDE
 BEGAN RULER

NEW YORK.-(By MaiD-Lieuten- ant General Baron Jacques, who, ac- 3o"ding to his own assertion, occupied the front seat in the front row" when the Germans opened the great international show" in 1914, is the most striking member of the suite which is accompanying King Albert on his visit in the United States. Tall, straight as an arrow, General Jac- ques looks like the fighting man he is and has been from boyhood. for he is one of the professional soldiers upon whom Belgium relied when it made the great decision which held up the German army until French action.
 General Jacques was in command of the Twelfth Regiment, one of the crack military organizations of Bel gium, and was stationed at Liege where General Leman was in con- mand.
 T had never been impressed by the bombast of the German soldiery and 1 had full confidence in my own men," said the General as he sat in plainly furnished cabin on board the George Washington on the voy- age to New Yok and talked of the carly days of the war.
 We first came in contact with the Germans on the bridge at Wise, and after sharp fight drove them back, capturing the flag of the 97th Bran. denburg regiment.
 That fight aroused the people, and immediately we had more than a thou sand civilian volunteers, digging trenches and helping in every way possible. General Leman issued a proclamation in which he said: Big Germany has invaded our country i'm posing an ulitmatum which consti- tutes an outrage. Little Belgium proudly accepts the challenge. The Belgium army will do it's duty. The people of Liege only ask to be allowed to do theirs."
 During the discouraging days which followed, when the Belgian army was compelled to retire from place tc place until it at last had to give up Antwerp and begin it's slow retrea, along the coast, General Jacques nev CT doubted the final outcome, and encouraged his men by pointing out that when the reached the Yser rivel the backward movement would end And so it did.
 My regiment had orders to hold Dixmude till death and we did. Not until high command decided to evac- >uate the town did we leave oul places." said the general.
 "The war is over. but the Germans still have arms and men. It is uT to the allies to see they do not use them again. look upon the Ger man as barbarian who still has in his heart the desire to conquer, because

ARMORY DANCE

The big free dance given at the armory Thursday evening as fitting windup to the Thanksgiving celebra- tion was one of the most largely at- tended in this community in several years.

 The dance was greatly enjoyed by all those present. The 8-piece or chestra made splendid music and kept the dancers occupied until an early hour Friday morning.

lnow but are waiting for a rise in the price of copper or decline in the wage scale.
 Fourth-There has been like fall i ing of ill the production or canned salmon and other fish in Alaska. The high prices of last year and the great contracts for supplying the United States armies with canned salmon led to feverish activities in that industry and the erection of many new can. neries. The production of this year will be scarcely two-thirds of last years yield.
 Fifth-The great government rail- road, for which $35.O0O,0O0 was appro- priated four years ago, has been com pleted about two-thirds of its way from the coast to the interior. It has reached the rich Matanuska coal fields and has been extended some 200 miles up the Susitna valley. From the inter- for terminus on the Tanana at Nenana the road has been extended southward as far as the Nenana coal field. At the close of last years operations all of the $35.000,000 appropriation had been expended except $2,000.O0O. The additional sum of $S,0O0,O00 was asked of congress this year to complete the road, but has thus far been refused, and work on the road is at standstill except on the southern section. The town of Nenana. which was booming a year ago, has lost three-fourths of its citizens. Anchorage. the ocean terminus, has not lost so heavily. but is receding rather than progressing. The expected immigration of farmers to take up land in the interior mas not materialized. All of the cities and vil- lages of the territory. except two or three on the coast. are depressed. and many of them depopulated. Of course, all who know the vast riches. the millions of fertile acres, the splendid climates-in word, the de- sirability of the territory as place of residence and business enterprise are sure that this depression is only temporary. and that there is bound to come before long. heavier immigra- }tion and a greater boom than ever: but the present Is time of stress and Encouragement.
 From the foregoing considerations | it is easy to deduce the state of mis-
 ionary activity in the territory this year. Our native missions have been little affected by the depressions of business in Alaska. If anything, they are is a more prosperous condition than ever before. and the personnel of our missionary force was never finer than now. There have been some changes, but all of our native mis- sions are now well supplied.

INCOME BLANK
FORMS SHOULD
NOW BE FILLED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.--Within
the next three weeks. or by March
Is. every unmarried man or woman
who earned $1,000 or more In the
calendar year 1918 and every mar
ried person whose income amounted
to $4,000 or more must make de-
tailed report Of his income to the
federal revenue collector OF his dis
tricA On. or before March els the
first installment of the income tax
must be paid one fourth OF the
amount due or all Of II II the tax
payer chooses.
This means that millions Of Amer
leans must get to, work at once to
prepare their returns. and for the
guidance OF tax payers. the Internal
Revenue Bureau has issued explicit
instructions covering the preparation
and filing Of returns. This is the
A B c Of the procedure:
First get a tax return form from
the revenue collectors office or from
bank. There are many kinds OF
these forms. IL persons income
was below 5000. he should ask for
the form especially intended for the
smaller incomes. II might be advis-
able to get two or three OF these
forms, since one may be spoiled In
~ 10 al
page printed sheet, with detailed In
structions for reporting various Items
of income and for calculating the
tax due. BY following this form
closely even an inexperienced person
probably will have little difficulty.
particularly IL his source Of income
was not complicated or II 1t was in
wages or slaary rather than in bust
ness transactions.
The tax rate for most individuals
Is 6 per cent. For single person
this Is imposed on the difference be-
tween the total net income for the
year and 81 900 the so-called exempt
ed amount. For married man. or
for the heads of family the exemp-
ton is $4,000 and the 6 percent tax
is imposed on the difference between
that and the total income. There is
provision for an additional exemption
of 5000 for each child or other de-
pendent person. under eighteen years
of age or incapable OF self-support
Thus a married man with one child
or an aged parent would have an ex-
emption of $4,000 and would pay
tax on the difference between this
and his net income. A man with
two children would have an exemp-
ton of $1,000: three children. ST.
900 and so on.
