Two more instances of the failure
Of the Burlesonized cable companies
to get relief to soldiers needing
money in France, came to light to-
day.
Long before Christmas Mrs. Will

cabled 500 to a relative in the SER

that he would get it Immediately.
Up-to-date he is still waiting on the
money.
Mrs. William J. Taylor, whose

in a French hospital, cabled him
$s5 with which to purchase COM
forts. That was weeks ago. Since
that time he has died. The money
never reached him.

Iron Mem Ordered TO Move
Into Embarkation
Area

The Twenty eighth. or Iron, Divi-

Pennsylvania. is expected to be des-
ignated for early return to this coun-
try.
This is the opinion of Lieutenant
Colonel Harry w. Coulter of the One
Hundred and Tenth Infantry, for
merly the Third and Tenth Pennsyl-
vania.
Colonel Coulter reached the de-
barkation hospital at Newport. News
after crossing on the transport Pas
torres.
The Colonel was wounded in the
right foot in the lighting between
the Marne and the Aisne. He has re-
covered, but will limp slightly. Hs

That Colonel Coulters prediction
is likely to prove reasonably correct
Is indicated by dispatches from
Washington and from the Army Of
Occupation.

RETURNS FOR 1918
TAX ARE.
BEING DELAYED.
Revenue Clerks Held Up as
Congress Talks Long
Over Bill

Instructions in regard to the
methood for making income tax re-
turns for 1919 are expected at the
office of the Internal Revenue Col
lector in the postoffice building
within Il few days, or as soon as
the revenue bill now before Con-
gress is enacted, it was announced
this morning.
Last year the officials in charge
of making out the returns and COL
lecting the income tax blanks, had
received instructions at the begin
ming of the year to begin the work,
as all statements had to be filed by
March /. Later the time limit was
extended until April /, giving the
taxpayers an additional thirty days.
With the details of the income
tax law still uncertain, it is impos-
sible for the local officials to begin
the work. AS soon as they receive
the instructions. and the supplies are
received, the offices in the post
office will be headquarters for all
who come under the regulations of
the act and who desire information
as to how to file their statements.
Advice and help in filling out the
statements can be secured by the
taxpayers from the internal revenue
officials daily.
The work here will be in charge
of S. p. Backenstow and r. e. Nc
Pherson, deputy internal revenue COL
leltors. III. A. Nollmer, internal
revenue collector. is busy upon 1918
estate tax collections.
The magnitude of the work of the
internal revenue department in col
leCting the statements on the income
tax returns, can be realized when it
is membered that by last years
revenue bill, every unmarried man
whose salary was $1,000 in 1917
came under the income tax regula-
tons, and every married man whose
salary was $4,000 was included.
