PERSHING SAYS
LIVES WERE NOT
WASTED IN DRIVE
Declares Fear of Hun Treachery Made
Fight to End Impress

Washington, Jan l2.-Charges made
before a House war investigation com
mittee that lives of American soldiers
were wasted in needless attacks on
armstice day are denied in letter
from Gen. pershing made public Satur-
day by Representative Fuller, Republi-
can, OF Massachusetts,.
Gen Pershing said the American
forces were acting under general in
structions issued by Marshal Foch to
all allied commanders on Nov. 8, 1918,
and that orders for attacks were with.
drawn as soon as possible after he was
advised of the signing OF the armistice.
No order was given to cease firing be.
fore the actual hour the armistice went
into effect, because Of fear of German
treachery. Statements that American
troops were ordered TO attack while
French divisions remained stationary
are wholly erroneous"
The generals letter is dated Nov. Fl,
1919, and is in reply to charges con-
tanned in letter to Mr.. Fuller from
Capt George X. Livermore Of Winches-
ter, Mass, formerly operations officer
of the l67th field artillery brigade OF
the a2d lnegroI division. Mr.. Fuller
explained that he made the letter pub
lie in view of statements recently made
before the investigating committee by
Brig. Gen. Sherburne, commanding the
artillery division of the Odd division,
about which much of the controversy
regarding armistice day losses has cen
tered

at is ALL BUNK
Declared American Journalist After
Visiting D'Annunzio in Fiume.

Rome, Jan. l2.-Foreiguers who visit
Fiume and enjoy the hospitality OF
Gabrielle D'Annunzio, the poet
rior,p who rules there, are by no means
agreed as to whether his adventure
in Fiume should be supported.
Two American women who recently
returned from that city are enthusi-
astic about the poet. One OF them said
that he seemed TO her only the Fem.
bodiment Of spiritual movement,
and that "his enthusiasm carries one
away from all thought of him other
than as the herald Of his great idea.
He seems to be voice from another
world
A hard headed American journalist
said on returning to Rome; 1T u all
bunk. It's the worst pipe dream !
ever ran into. Some dreamers and IDEAL
lists may sympathize with D'Aununzios
adventure. but | cannot see anything
but harm in il for Italy II i blow
to the discipline of the army and navy
and a menace TO the Italian govern
ment. At first II was rather amusing,
but one gets tired of farce.
Apparently there is wide divergence
of views among Italians a among for
eieners as 10 the value Of the Dan
nunzio expedition. Many Italians who
are enthusiastic about il at first have
chilled on second thought. This es-
peeially is true among members of
the conservative parties who attribute
the great gains of the socialists in the
recent general elections to the extreme
nationalist movement as typified by
D'Annunzio.

BRITISH BALANCE BETTER.
Fewer Imports and More Exports Dur
ing November.

London, Jan. IL. The adverse bal
anee of trade against Great Britain as
shown by comparison Of her exports
and imports during the month of No
vember was the lowest attained since
the armistice. Its total was 36,200,00O
pounds.
Britain's exports increased about
100000 pounds in November, while
in the same period her imports de-
creased about 100000 pounds The
decline in imports is attributed by the
American Chamber of Commerce in
London in part to the recent strikes in
the United States. II is stated also
that decreased production and shipping
troubles in America forcibly reduced
British imports but at the same time
improved her market for exports in
continental Europe which were shut
2ff from their source Of supply.

Political Alignment Is Not
Altered by the Elec-
ton Jan. IL
OUTGOING SENATORS
MOSTLY REELECTED
One Socialist Was Elected
M. Humbert Withdrew
from the Contest

Paris, Jan. II. Results of the cleo
tion held yesterday indicate that the
new Senate will have the same political
alignment as the old one, changes made
in the personnel of the chamber being
those involving individuals and not
principles. Most OF the outgoing SEN
ators who were candidates We're re-
elected, one outstanding exception be-
ing Charles Humbert, who was acquit-
ted last May by a court martial of a
charge of having had dealings with the
enemy. NJ Humbert withdrew on the
second ballot and asked his supporters
to throw their strength to President
Poncare.
The feature of the election was the
appearance of unified socialist candi-
dates. Hitherto that party had boy
cotted the Senate, the abolition of
which was advocated by the organiza.
ton. Up to the present reports show
that only one socialist was elected.

DESC4MPS HAS
MYSTERIOUS POWER
Georges Carpenters Manager Is Said to
Possess Some Sort of Mystic Eye
with Which He Cast Spell
Over Beckett.

New York, Jan. II. Apparently
Jack Dempsey will have to fight two
men when he meets Georges Carpenter
for the world heavyweight champion
ship, if the deductions OF London
writer are correct. According to tins
authority, Descamp, the manager OF
Carpenter possesses some sort OF
/ IA mystic eye with which ne
cast spell over Beckett in
the recent battle in London with the
result that the French pugilist had an
easy task in knocking out the be-
fuddled Britisher,
In the words of The discoverer OF this
alleged dual combination which con-
fronted poor Beckett during the 10 odd
i, seconds he stood before Carpenter, the
strange influence made its effect felt
as follows:
"There were two personalities hight
ing Joe Beckett from the moment he
entered the ring. Carpenter was one.
The other was Descamps, his manager.
Deseamps is very excitable man. tie
is a bundle of nerves, a typicaHy
French, overlooking personality, whose
individuality oozes from every pore.
He does not effervesce. He eXudes.
"Descamps says that when Carpen-
tier meets Jack Dempsey. Carpenter
will win in six rounds. Watch Des-
camps. He is the man who is aiding
Carpenter with all mental force. His
mentality accompanies Carpenter into
the ring every fight. He is his unseen,
silent partner, and TO him as much as
TO Carpenter is Beckett indebted for
the blow on the jaw which finished the
fight and took the championship of Eu
rope out of his reach.
what was Descamps doing as Beck
EFT came into the ring? Those who
were near him tell me he was watch
ing Beckett intently. The fact is, he
began to fight Beckett as soon as
Beckett stepped into the ring. Beck
EFT was constantly glancing round at
Carpenter as he was getting his gloves
adjusted. There you have the person
atty of Descamps beginning TO work;
impinging itself on Beckett's brain and
beginning its task of confusing the
English boxers thoughts. Possibly Des-
camps is not quite conscious of his own
power. but it Is there all the same. This
projection OF personality is not hypno-
tism, but it is to be seen operating
everywhere.
.'Desoamp, they say, feels every de-
feat of Carpenter as defeat for him
self His personality stands beside Car
pentier in every match, for he has
trained Carpenters mind as well as his
koJ., Garnanf;ar nnfa az Daspa INNS
wills. That is why Beckett made the
mistake at Holborn stadium. Carpen-
tier alone he might have beaten. Car
pentier and Descamps were too much
for him"

Farmers Also Considered.

The farmer may deduct all amounts
paid in preparing his land for crop,
and the cultivation, harvesting, and
marketing of the crop. The cost of seed
and fertilizer used and amounts spent
IN caring for live stock are deductibie
items. The cost of minor repairs to
farm buildings, other than the dwell
inr. and Of fences, farm machinery, and
wagons may be claimed, also the cost
of farm tools which are used up IN the
course of a wear or two. The cost OF
machinery OF permanent character,
such as threshing machine or tractor.
is held to be a capital investment, and
is not an allowable deduction. Rent
paid for farm is deductible.
The principles underlying these al
Iowances are equally applicable TO the
conduct of any trade, business, or pro
fession. In short, all expenses con
nected solely and directly with the con-
duet ,of an income producing business,
trade, profession, or vocation are al
lowable.
Deductions for Losses.
Losses incurred by taxpayer in any
transaction entered into for profit out :
side of his regular business are al
lowed. Under the 1917 act deductions
for such losses were allowed only 20

turn of gross income, and could deduct
only that amount as loss. Under the
current act he is allowed deduction
of $4,000
A reasonable allowance is made for
