making out the return was a Job. just
as others have found it. and the
President has had other things on his
mind during the past few weeks than
income tax reports.
That long line in front of the branch
office yesterday was simply token of
a prevalent characteristic. Yesterday
was the last possible day for action
and therefore the day chosen by a
great many people for doing that
which might and should have been
done some time before. Some income
taxpayers put the matter off till the
last minute on the ground that they
save interest on their payments.
Others simply save up for the pay
ment and draw the check only when it
is possible to do so without overdraft
But such considerations do not affect
the procedure Of computing the tax
That can be done at any time and the
return and check mailed at the last
minute. Probably in time more peo-
pie will get the habit of forehanded-
ness in this respect and will not con-
gest the revenue offices and other
places of tax advice on the final day
of the period.

Talaat pasha.

Talaat Pasha, who was assassinated
yesterday in Berlin by an Armenian,
was a leader OF the old Turkish
government Talaat was a man Of
humble origin, having at one time
earned his Living as telegraph op-
orator. He had risen by sheer native
ability through the stages Of official
promotion, but he got his great op-
portunity in . young Turks revo-
luton which put him and Enver Pasha
in virtual command Of Turkish affairs.
He was ruthless. crafty. utterly with
out conscience, and yet, as former
Ambassador Morgenthau described
him in his book, he was not without
charm of personality, though phys
ically not particularly pleasant. He
was a typical Turkish brute. He
hated the Armenians implacably.
Enver's mother, it has always been
understood, was an Armenian, and
this fact made the former war min
seem strange and unnatural. But
Talaat had no restraint Whatever. He
gloried in the massacres. He was
denseiy ignorant in respect to some
matters and had a certain juvenile
point Of view respecting world affairs.
1t was difficult for him to appreciate
the magnitude of the powers beyond
Turkey.

The Community Family.

The campaign of the Associated
Charities for 10000 members has not
30 far met with the response which
should be accorded it by the city. 1t
is hard to understand why this should
be so. The facts connected with the
appeal-the story of what the Asso-
ciated Charities means to the com
munity-of the tragedy to hundreds of
homes which its inability to continue
to function would involve-have been
set forth. That Washingtonians who
to the number of 10000 contributed to
a recent Red Cross drive. should turn
away from distress at their very
thresholds. is unthinkable.
There are few of us who when one
of our own family is suffering. are
unconscious Of a moral responsibility
for his care. Every effort is directed
to the end Of his speedy recovery or, if
the disability be permanent, toward
such compensation as may be offered
for what has been taken out of his
life. The sufferer is ours. and being
good citizens and possessed Of hearts
that function right. we gladly shoulder
our moral. social and financial burden.
however heavy it may seem at times.
Today people are coming more and
more to a realization of the fact that

merely an enlarged family. 1t has
been truly said that no community can
rise to greater heights than the ideals
of it's most forward looking, upstand-
ing families nor can sink to lower
depths than the degradation of its
worst families permits. Every Wash
ingtonian is a part Of the splendid
family which is the National Capital.
Yet we have in our midst our MANNED.
our diseased, our helpless and our
INDECENT. They are ours. The mis-
fortunes. the failures, the distress and
the scourges Of the city are, with
its successes and victories and prog
ress, ours. That plain, uninvolved
philosophy is essential to every Wash
ingtonian. With it. the appeal Of IN
agency so splendidly equipped to hap
each Of us fulfill one of our principal
civic obligations as is the Associated
Charities cannot meet with any an
swer save this: I'VE, who are the
community. are behind you." The
practical way to make that answer. to
demonstrate the fact that. as a men,
ber of the family. one has a heart that
functions right. is to build up the
total Of the membership lists Of such
an organization as the Associated
Charities, by at least one additional
name-your name.

ernment in the pre-armistice period
Talaat fed to Germany and was pro-
scribed by the allied powers, who in
cluded his name in the list Of those
demanded for extradition and punish
ment. But he has remained securely
in Germany. doubtless with measure
Of official assurance Of protection.
But yesterday Nemesis overlook him.
An Armenian accosted him in the
street and shot him to death. 1t was
the old blood feud claiming another
victim.
Talaat was i type of the old Turk

cation with the Young Turks" move

history occasionally produces. There
was nothing in Talaats makeup in
the least degree favorable to reform.

March Still Here!

The ides of March have come and
gone. but the 18th draws too near to
vouch assurance that the hyacinths
and leatiings may not feel chill airs.
But. truth be written, March moves
gladly. gayly on and gives no threat
of plunging poignard of frost in
the gentle breast of the flowers and
the buds of fruit.
Great honors are being paid to Mis-
tress March, and it would be cruel
kind, those that do her homage. There
are the frogs. Why, ranine odes to
March are sung in every pond! The
song sparrow salutes old March in
cadences and trills and the bluebirds,
though busy in their quest Of fats,
are warbling ecstacies of praise.
Crowds of little buttercups, holding
hands and forming rings, are dancing
round the feet of March and singing
songs they used to sing to April. March
is meeting with grand reception in
Washington. The trees are hanging
out green banners. except some naples
which elect to express themselves in
red.
March began today not so merrily
as she ended yesterday, but the breezes
still came from the south and the
haze of silver-gray was shot with rays
Of golden sun.

Making Germany Pay.

1t has been difficult for Americans
to understand just how the allied
powers of Europe are going to en-
Versailles treaty. Germany is pledged
by that treaty to make certain pay
ments. Several conferences have been
held. eliminating in that at London,
was definitely determined. When Ger
many refused to accede orders were
given for the occupation of cities on
the east bank of the Rhine. Still. even
with the establishment of customs
collection zone it has not been plain
how this military move would advance
the payment of the indemnities. The
Germans have refused to recognize the
occupation as warranted. but have not
resisted it. The French. British and
Belgian troops are in control of these
towns and the areas west Of them.
Business goes on as usual, but thus
far there have been no customs TAX
ings. The Germans assuredly are not
going to send goods that way if they
can be sent by any other route.
Now the reparations commission has
notified Berlin that Germany must pay
by the 1st of May the twelve billion
balance of the twenty billion marks
payment due by then. Germany
claims to have paid twenty-one bill
lions. but the commission figures the
payment of only eight, leaving the
balance as stated.
But what if Germany refuses or
neglects to make this payment by the
1st of May? Will there be another
Occupation? This query suggests
the possibilities of further German re-
fusal to pay the indemnity. 1t can
be set down as assured that the gov
ernment at Berlin will not pay unless
forced. How are the allies going to
force the payment?
After the Franco-Prussian war. in
1901 the Germans made peace on
terms that were supposed to be so
harsh that France could not meet
them quickly. Yet the indemnity was
paid so soon that Germany was as
founded and chagrined. German
troops were under the terms Of the
peace agreement to remain in France
until the indemnity was paid. The
French people. wishing to rid their
soil of the hated Prussians. dug down
into their stocking" and produced
the indemnity in remarkably short
time.
Will the allied troops have to move
farther and farther into Germany?
The mere holding Of Duesseldorf and
the other cities in that region will not
yield the billions demanded. The mott
fication by the reparations commission
Of the amount due by the 1st Of May
will not necessarily produce payment.
There is, in fact, no hostage. How
will the allies go to work to get one
and to put Germany under imperative
obligation to meet this debt. even az
the French people felt themselves
obligated to meet theirs half a GEN.
tury ago?

Individual Responsibility.

Individual Responsibility.
Whenever anything goes wrong
They pass law precise and strong,
To operate without delay
And make things run the proper way.
And when there seems to be flaw
In the mechanics art,
I wish that they would pass law
To make my fiivver start.
Yet when law gets under way
1t often works so fast they say
That it induces some mistakes,
And has us reaching for the brakes.
When on a reckless speed hurrah
The motor seeks to hop.
I wish that they would pass law
To make my fiivver stop.
Alas, though laws show brains intense,
A lot depends on common sense
Shown by the individual man,
Who tries to do the best he can.

May elevate the soul,
The driver is the one to keep
The fiivver meath control.
