WAR VETERANS
CHEER HARDING
Fighters Of Three Wars Ap-
plaud Republican Candi-
dates Foreign Policy.

Marion, Ohio, Aug. "a gather
ing OF veterans OF the civil. Span
ish-American and world wars cheer
ed Senator Warren G. Harding, Re-
publican nominee for President
when he told them late this after
noon that we don't want any coun-
ell Of foreign powers to summon
American boys to battle.
IF there is any call for American
soldiers to fight for civilization or
humanity. let it be an appeal TO
the American conscience, and Amer
lean people will respond gladly and
freely and as they have always
done" Senator Harding said. L
know ! have been criticized FOR
what l have done about our part
in the world war. Though I be-
Heve we have played our part in
uphoIding democracy throughout
the world, the simple, honest truth
is we did not go to war until Amer
lean rights had been violated, and
I then We went to war to defend
American rights.
The Senator made direct refer-
4 ence to the league of nations, but
it was evident from the enthusiastic
response his utterances met with
that the former soldiers, old and
Young, were agreed with him that
America and not Europe should de-
eide when American roops should
be employed in foreign wars.
Senator Harding yesterday pro-
tected himself into the fight to Sc
cure ratification of the suffrage
amendment by the Tennessee legis-
lature. He sent a telegram to Sen
ator Houk, of the Tennessee legis-
Iature urging united Republican
support for the amendment, and
later telegraphed Representatives
Sells and Taylor asking them to
do everything possible to pledge
rnenbers OF the legislature from
their districts to vote for the
amendment.
Women Urge Action.
This action was taken in response
to a food Of kilograms from many
states, pointing out that chances
Tor ratification in Tennessee were
growing darker. Mrs. Abby Scott

Service, Special Cable Dispatch.)
Paris, Aug. Sit is admitted at
the Quai D. Orssy tonight that the
allies task Of saving Poland is no
longer realizsble" Although this
has been quite evident in we'll in
formed circles these past two days
IL now comes more officially. Many
say IL come quite as oficially as
anything ever does from the French
foreign ministry that is not in the
form of governmental COM
munique.
What the allies propose TO do
now Is not yet clear, although 1t is
practically certain no military aid
Will be given for two reasons:
First. that the allied peoples-par-
ticularly the French-would need
considerable more presentation OF
the facts versus the talk than they
have had up to now in order for
them to stand for 1t. and second,
there will be no independent state
Of Poland to night for long before
the allies troops could get there.
Now a Rout.
II may be stated now that Po-
lands history as the allies buffer
state has been written. The news
received by military authorities to-
night is that the Red armies are
no longer in enjoyment of a vic
tory but OF a rout-thst the Polish
front on the River Bug has broken
over a width OF 100 kilometers and
that there is no possible chance Of
Warsaw being saved.
4 second Red column is now sd-
vancing rapidly toward the Danzig
corridor. which is likely to be cut
and a junction effected with the
Germans before the week ends.
Troops Busy.
Although the catastrophe Of Po-
land has been foreseen for many
weeks, the excuse is now given
that with the allied troops scat
tered in Africa, Asia Minor, Ireland
and elsewhere it was impossible to
mobilize In sufficient number.
Also considerable bitterness has
been expressed. at the refusal OF
Polish general staff to cooperate
with the allied officers.

Red Army Merely Marauders
Is View of United States as
Poland Faces Supreme Crisis

dispatches depicted the situation
as serious in the highest degree.
The governments represented at
the Polish capital have decided, in
case they abandon 1t. to remove to
Graudenz, about 1870 miles to the
northwest. The town was formerly
in PrUssian Poland and lies some
100 miles to the south of Danzig.
Graudenz was obviously chosen as
the place of refuge because of its
accessibility to the Danzig cor
ridor." Through the corridor" al
lied military help for Poland. il any
is to be forthcoming, will be poured.
In the days of German military
power. Graudenz was a strongly
protected fortress. Presumably it
will become the temporary seat of
the Polish government. If Warsaw
falls. besides becoming an i'm
portant sally port for offensive
operations against the Bolshevists.
L. :. Not Yet Committed.
The American government has
not vet committed itself to any line
of offensive action on behalf of Po-
land. Since the Red military men,
ace assumed its present proper
tions, the State Department has
merely intimated that the United
States could not stand idly by while
Lenine's legions tore up the Polish
frontier stakes which we, at Yer
sailles. helped to drive in.
1t may be that the confusion
which prevails is more apparent
than real. Nothing would be gained
by advising the Red military and
! political leaders in advance Of plans
| for their undoing. Just as the al
1 lied powers of Europe six years age
| this very week were moving with
all possible dispatch and stealth tc
! thwart the thrust of a common foe
so. it was suggested in Washing
| ton last night, behind-the-scen
| activities may be going on designed
| to meet effectively a situation thai
/ on paper looks dubious in the ex'
| treme.
Look on Reds as Marauders.
One of the doubtings of the Unit,
cd States government relates to ouI
/ eluctance to make war on any
I forces representative of the Russian
people. There is an inclination ir
! Washington to look upon the armie.
that may tomorrow be battering a

the citizens and residents, together
with payments Of tax due.
The burden of fulfilling this obli-
cation is laid by the law squarely on
the shoulders of those who are Ameri-
can citizens or residents. Every per-
son must determine for himself
whether his or not his income for 1918
figured according to the Revenue law,
was sufficient in amount to require a
return.
If single, return is required if the
| income for 1919 was $1,000 or over.
| A widow or widower is classed as a
single person. A man or woman liv-
| ing apart from his wife or husband
is also classed as single person.
If person is married and living
with wife or husband on December
31st, return is required if the net
income for 1919 was $4,000 or over.
In this net income must be included
that of both man and wife and minor
children, if any. Rent of rooms in the
persons residence must be included
Of course.
If tax is due on income payment
must be made with the return. This
payment may be made in whole OF
part of the tax due. At least one
quarter Of the tax must accompany
the return.
The filing and paying must be done
before midnight Of March 18th or the
taxpayer is classed as a delinquent
and must pay severe penalty.
Two forms are being distributed
for personal returns. Form 1040-A
is intended for use by person whose
net income does exceed $4,000. Form
1040 is intended for persons having a
net income in excess of $4,000. Both
of these forms are now available at
office Of Collector of Internal Reve-
nue., Jackson, Miss, and at some
banks and postoffices.
1t is urged by the Collector that
blanks be obtained at once. Failure
to have blank form at hand for an
eleventh-hOur return will not relieve
person Of penalty for failure to
comply with the law.
Each form contains instructions for
preparing and filing the return and
these should be carefully read before
attempting to fill out the form and
strictly observed.
There is provided a "work sheet"
which should be used for making the
original computations and which

should be returned and preserved by
the taxpayer.
Any person who is in doubt on
points affecting his particular case,
should bring such matter to the at
tention of the nearest Deputy Col
lector or Revenue Agent who will
render every necessary aid without
charge.
Accuracy in compiling the return is
absolutely necessary. Mere guesses
and estimates as to income and de-
auctions should be avoided and actual
facts and amounts should be set
forth. This is equally important in
considering the question of whether
a return is required.
