Many are drawing large incomes
from fortunes made during the
war while the soldiers and sail
ors were making their sacrifices
and undergoing the horrors Of
war and receiving for their de-
votion less than $40 a month.
But" say those who are trying
to kill 1t by indirection. "the
heavy ta~ on big incomes has
been repealed, and you must find
some other way"
That is the answer to the soldier
boy and the sailor lad who lost
his job during the war and who
did not receive enough to pay the
living expenses Of his wife and
baby at home. But" no asks,
why not enact a new law to
restore these taxes until you can
do Justice to the men who were
promised anything and everything
whom they sailed across tho seas
in 1s17-1s1s"
That but" and that query con-
vert such opponents into deaf
mutes. They have no answer. They
just sit tight.
THE REAL TEST.
II tho men in Congress respon-
sible for legislation were more de-
termined to do justice to the SOL
der and sailor than to the prof.
teer and the other rich. they would
reanact the bill laying again every
tax repealed before Christmas and
continue those taxes until this debt
Of honor is paid to the men who
wore the uniform. That ia the real
test. II the responsible Congress-
mon would take that course the
money would be forthcoming with
out any pawnshop business and
without any real hardship on any
man in the United States.
II Il . wsnton insult to say that
any soldier or sailor desiring tho
compensation proposed n "com-
mercializing his patriotism" II
SO. George Washinstou "com-
mercialized his patriotism" when
the Virginia legislature voted him
stock in the companies organized
for the development Of tho West,
after tho war Of tho revolution,
and the soldiers who followed
Grant, who received largo tracts
Of Land after 1858 in recognition
Of their services In tho Federal
army.
II 50. nearly every soldier who
ever served in any war com
mercialized his patriotism" by &C.
cepting money or land or other
valuable consideration.
II 80, every Belgian CONNER
cialized his patriotism" when he &C
cepted sums ranging from $82. .03 to
&92.19 voted by his government
after the war.
II so. all Canadian troops made
the compromise" when they ac-
cepted sums ranging from $5s9.59
for long service up to S1,6S6.24 for
a lieutenant colonel.
REASONS FOR COMPENSATION.
The same Is true Of every British
and French soldier. all Of whom re-
ceived sums Ringing from S14l in
Great Britain and $249 In France.
Are all the allied fighting men
guilty Of "raiding the treasury" and
taking money as "the price Of their
courage and honor, as Is 80 often
charged against them?
There is a deep-seated reason for
the compensation to the soldiers.
1t is found in these facts:
I. Very many Of them came back
home in debt for the support Of
their families incurred while they
were fighting for their country.

HELD AS INTRUDERS.
So long a. they are herded down

trades their position II bound to
be bad but II they are given a
fuller chance Of spreading out &C
oording to their actual abilities
then I believe they will cease to
be looked on as intruders who

sentially the same as the problem
of mon in industry. namely, the
problem of how those who carry
on the manual industries upon
which tho wealth Of the world de-
pends are to have q responsible
and q full life.
A. things are now We must. /
believe, take political steps to
level up the condition Of women to
the condition of men. Until they
are strong enough from a trade
union point of view to look after
their own interest they must. in
my view be looked after by special
protective legislation. All this Is
politics. Indeed, at the present mo-
ment labor legislation Is one of
the most prominent as well as one
of the most important aspects Of
politics.
In the British House of Com
mons there is hardly . subject
which comes up which does not
touch directly or indirectly upon
this matter. II any proof were
needed that women ought to inter
est themselves in politics this sub
ject would provide 1t.
Day by day the industrial po-
sition of the world is shifting:
day by day the position of the in
dustrial women who form the bot
tom Of the Industrial element is
being altered: day by day new
laws, new customs and new condi-
tons are springins up for the
workers Of the world. and II those
millions of women who are among
these workers have not the power
to express themselves politically
It is impossible that a satisfactory
solution can be reached.
I don't believe we can build up a
better system all Of q sudden.
still less that we can do 1t by vio-
lent means. Violence always leads
to reaction and reaction again
leads to violence and the world
does not progress in that fashion.
But we women have to face up
to the Industrial problem az we
have to face up to the social and
moral problems and though we
may only emerge slowly into this
field. emerge we must.

2. There are between three ana
five million people unemployed In
the United States. and many OF
these are men who quilt college
or gave up their jobs to wear
their countrys uniform. They
have not been able to obtain
steady employment at remuner-
ative wages since rehabilitation.
In some cities, where national Dc.
preston has brought hard con.
ditions, not a few Of the men who
hnorably wore the uniform have
been helped by public or private

after the war obtained a civil SER
vice position paying s2,25o. The
boy who went to war lost his Job.
has not been able to pay for the
care Of his family or to obtain
regular employment since.
Neither individuals nor corpor-
ations have been as patriotic as
they promised during the war.
and have kept many non-service
men in their employment while
soldiers have asked In vain for
employment. And. though the
law requires preference to be
given to soldiers and sailors in
public position, the law has not
been respected in many instances.
These are among the reasons
why the compensation law has
been pressed.
WHAT CONGRESS SHOULD DO.
II Congress will restore good
conditions in America 30 that all
ex-service men may depend upon
steady employment. tho compen-
sation bill would not be urged.
Unless that can be done and
done speedily, national gratitude
demands the passage of measure
of relief and recognition.
II Congress would give half

finding ways how not to pass Il.
or how to defeat It by proposing

Bedtime Stories
The Young Fox Thinks Himself Smart
By Thornton W. Burgess
OF self pray neuer think too aueU /;
Your cleVcrness let others tell.
Old Granny Fox.

The young Fox, who had been so
rudely awakened from his dream of a
dinner on one of Farmer Browns
hens, turned cold with fright to the
very pit of his stomach when he
locked up to see Bowser the Hound
coming straight toward him and only
little way off. Once he had seen
Bowser chase his father. Reddy Fox,
and he knew that, smart as he is,
Reddy had had hard work to fool this
dog with the great voice. Do you
wonder that that young Fox turned
cold with fright?
For couple of seconds he stood
perfectly still. The truth is he was
too frightened to move. But, fright
ened as he was, he saw that Bowser
had not yet seen him. Bowser was
simply lazily coming over to the hem
yard to find out what the hens had
made such fuss about. He was tax
ing his time about it, for he didn't
expect to find anybody there.
The discovery that Bowser hadn't
seen him gave the young Fox little
nope. II he was careful perhaps he
could steai away without being seen.
Then all would be we'll. You see, the
young Fox was not we'll enough ac-
qaainted with Bowser to understand
that Bowser depends on his nose
rather than his eyes. The young
Fox didn't once think that he would
leave trail for Bowser to follow,
His only thought was to get out of
sight.
III only / can find hiding place
right close by. place that fellow
can't get into, I'll be ell right. .
thought the young Fox. II don't want
to run across to the stone wall along
the Old Orchard because am afraid
: he would see me. Perhaps if / can
slip around to the other side Of the
henhouse can get away by keeping
that between u.s."
With a last glance at Bowser. to
make sure that Bowser hadn't vet
seen him, the young Fox crept care.
fully but swiftly along close to the
henhouse and lodged around back of
1t. He was now out of sight of Bow
ser and this gave him new courage.
Then his heart sank again. To run
across to the bushes along the stone
wall on the edge of the Old Orchard
would bring him in plain sight of
that dreadful dog again if he should
chance to look up. To run across the
Green Meadows to the Old Pasture
or to the Green Forest would be to
be out in the open for long dis
tance
Hastily the young Fox looked all
about him. Then he discovered a
queer thing he hadn't noticed when
he had first crept over back of the

Over Separation In 1908
Iiemized Bill Demanded

Particulars i'm Charge

Mrs. Ella ]. Croker, wife Of Edward
F. Croker, former chief Of the New
York Fire Department, and nephew Of
the late Richard Croker, has filed suit
for 100000 against Miss Helen NJ.
Day, of Long Beach, L. T., alleging
alienation of her husbands affections.
This became known yesterday when
Miss Day made application in the
Brooklyn Supreme Court for bill Of
particulars in which she states that
she will be unable to prepare properly
for trial unless Che plaintiff sets forth
more definitely and specifically the
times and places when Miss Day is al
legged to have alienated Croker's affec-
tions.
Miss Day demands that the plaintiff
submit an itemized statement Of the
gifts and sums of money said to have
been given her by Croker and to ex-
plain the precise way In which she
gained his attentions.
Says Miss Day Won Him In 1908
In her complaint Mrs. Croker says
that she and her husband were married
on September s. 1888, and that they
lived together happily until 1908 when,
she declares, Miss Day "wil1fully and
wickedly gained his affections" In that
year, she further charges, Miss Day
persuaded Croker to leave his wife.
She alleges that at various times
since then Miss Day and her husband
have been together and that Croker
lavished upon the defendant large sums
of money. She says that he frequently
presented Miss Day with expensive
gifts and that this affection completely
estranged the married couple.
Miss Day in her petition alleges
that Mrs. Croker left her husband in
1908, obtained decree of separation
in 1911 and ever since has steadfastly
refused to live with him or associate
with him in any way. She says more
than six years have elapsed since Mrs.
tween the defendant and the former
fire chief and for that reason action
is barred under the statute of limita-
tions.
Croker Won National Fame
Croker retired as head of the Fire
Department several Years ago and or
gained the Croker Electric Company
and the Croker Fire Prevention Com
pany. He achieved "a national reputa-
tion as fire chief
Sol Tekulsky, of counsel for Mrs.
Croker, said last night that Miss Day
is managing director of Croker's
million dollar business and the sal
airy she receives accounts for the
luxurious manner in which she has
been living. She is forty-five years
old"

in it just about big enough for him
to get through. Swiftly he ran over
to it. 1t was dark inside. His nose
told him that there was no one in
there. Here was just the hiding place
he was looking for. Without waiting
second he slipped inside.
Now, what the young Fox had found
was an old barrel lying on it's side.
Only one board Of the head had been
knocked out. This left an opening
big enough for the young Fox, but
not big enough for Bowser the Hound. ;
Once inside, the young Fox sighed
with relief. That dog hadn't seen
him 60 in there and be felt safe. He
felt so safe that for q few minutes
all fear left him. He chuckled to
himself.
4 was smart said the young Fox
to himself, mot to lose my head and
try to run away. That fellow would
have seen me and have chased me.
Now he doesn't know that | have

again. There is nothing like using

1t was brought out at the trial that
she bought the building from the city
