Angel of Mons" Story
Made Plenty Realistic

THE legend of the miraculous in
l. tervention of angelic bowmen
under the patron saint of England,
st. George, during the British re-
treat from Mons in August 1914,
was invented by the English author,
Arthur Machen. He wrote a story
called 1.-The Bowmen" which ap-
peared in the Daily News of London
on September %, 1914. This was an
entirely fictitious account of how,
during the days when the British
were hard pressed by the enemy, an
English soldier happened to utter
the motto Gin Latin): May st.
George be a present help to the
English"
Immediately after he had spoken,
he saw beyond the trench, long
line of shapes, with shining about
them. They were like men who drew
the bow, and with another shout,
their cloud of arrows went singing
and tingling through the air toward
the German hosts"
This story was Immediately taken
up as an authentic record, states a
writer in the Detroit News.

Nation Pays Tribute to
War Dead in Arlington

A RLINGTON National Cemetery
"A just across the Potomac from
the Lincoln Memorial is the scene
each Memorial day of elaborate but
solemn ceremonies honoring Amer
ica's hero dead. These ceremonies
are held in the magnificent Memo
rial Amphitheater provided through
the efforts of the Grand Army of
the Republic as fitting memorial
to our soldier dead and a suitable
assembly place for the thousands in
attendance at the services on Dec
Grafton day.
Usually attended by the President
of the United States, other high gov
ernment officials and foreign diplo-
mats, Arlington Decoration day
services are to the nation what the
local observances are to each COM
munity throughout the land, OBJ
serves writer in Pathfinder Mag
azine.
For the benefit of those who have
never visited Arlington cemetery
and its magnificent Memorial Am
phitheater a short description of
the circular white marble structure
will be interesting. The open-air
structure covers an area of $4,000
square feet. In the amphitheater
are seats of marble for 5000 peo-
pie. Several thousand more can find
seats and standing room around the
sides. On the stage there is room:
for several hundred more.
The eastern facade of the amphi-
theater overlooks the Potomac at
fording an excellent view of the
Lincoln Memorial, the Washington
Monument, the new government
buildings, the Capitol and the city of
Washington. Just across the road
way from the eastern stairway is
the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Process Tax Refund Case
Won by Government

MO DECISIONS involving the
constitutionality of the social
security act were handed down by
the Supreme court, but that tribunal
did give an opinion that upheld the
provisions of the 1886 revenue law
restricting refunds of processing
and floor stock taxes illegally i'm
posed by the agricultural adjust
ment act. The treasury was saved
nearly billion dollars by this deci-
sion.
while the taxpayer was undoubt-
edly hurt when he paid the tax, if he
has obtained relief through the
shifting of its burden he is no longer
in position to claim an actual in
jury and the refusal of a refund in
such a case cannot be regarded as
a denial of constitutional right"
said the opinion.
Another decision upheld the chain
store tax law enacted by the Louisi-
ana legislature at the order of the
late Huey Long, the court holding
that states may tax chain stores
on the basis of the number of units
in the chain outside as well as in
side the state.

ported, since that is the measure
that split the party in congress.
Dodd, former professor in the Uni
versity of Chicago, said he had been
told by certain friends that an
American, not named, "Who owns
nearly a billion dollars" was pre-
pared to set up a fascist regime
which presumably he would control.
There are not many American bill
lionaires now, but no one has VEN
tured to guess publicly the man
Dodd has in mind.
There are individuals Of great
wealth who wish a dictatorship and
are ready to help Huey Long," he
wrote. There are politicians. some
in the senate, I have heard, who
think they may come into power
like that of the European dictators
in Moscow, Berlin, and Rome"
Congressional leaders were quick
to take up Dodd's assertion, Senator
Borah of Idaho leading off with the
declaration that the ambassador
was an irresponsible scandal mon
ger and a disgrace to his country.
II have an idea," said Borah. that
his supposed dictatorship is the fig
ment of a diseased brain" Senator
Gerald Nye of North Dakota, radi-
cal, introduced a resolution calling
upon the State department to de-
mand that Dodd name the billion
aire in question.
In the house Representative Fish
of New York denounced Dodd, and
demanded that he be recalled.

Edward and Wallis to
Marry on June 3

EDWARD, duke Of Windsor and
IL former king of Great Britain,
and Mrs. Wallis Warfeld are to be
married on June at the Chateau
de Cande. This was announced in
London. In the controversy between
the government and the duke, who
was backed up by his brother, King
George, and their mother, concern
ing official recognition of the mar
riage, the government seemed to
have won. It was understand the
wedding would be extremely pri-
vate and that no member of the
royal family would be present.
There will be only few guests in
addition to the witnesses and the
servants. Lieutenant Forwood, the
dukes equerry, carried to Bucking-
ham palace information of the
dukes final plans. He also invited
London Daily Mail and London
Daily Express to send reporters to
the wedding. These papers have
been most friendly to Edward and
Mrs. Warield.

visers told him frankly that the
measure in this form faced probable
defeat in the senate.
Mr.. Roosevelt also demanded the
following legislative action:
A substitute for the outlawed NRA,
covering minimum wages and maxi
mum hours, child labor, and the
regulation of industrial trade prac-
tees.
An appropriation of 1 billion 500
million dollars for work relief in the
1888 fiscal year.
A start ON farm tenancy legisla-
ton, providing federal loans for
sharecroppers and other tenant
farmers with which to purchase
their own land.
The declaration by congress Of an
integrated, national power, flood
control, and navigation policy, con-
templating the ultimate develop
ment of the nation into eight re-
gional Twas.
AS for economy measures, the
President rejected the senate plan
calling for a mandatory horizontal
slash of 10 per cent in all appropria-
tion bills and indicated a preference
for the house plan, which would give
him discretionary power to reduce
all appropriations by Is per cent.
The house appropriations commit
tee already had yielded in the mat
ter of the work relief appropriation,
making it a billion and a half. A
brigade of fifty women organized
by the Workers Alliance of America
gathered in Washington to demand
that congress appropriate 5000, ,000,-
600 for relief in 1888, and will sit
in the house gallery during the de-
bate.

Inconsistency" Is Cry

appalling inconsistency" Of the

partment of the Interior, which
measure carries $40, 0,000,0 900 for the
reclamation bureau to be used for
the building of dams and reservoirs
to increase the acreage of tillable
land. At the same time the house
agriculture committee introduced
new farm bill, the main object Of
which is the controlling of excessive
farm surpluses and which calls for
the expenditure of $287 900, 900 an
nually. This latter bill is based on
the recommendations of Secretary
Wallace's farm conference of Feb
ruary bat it was declared it did not
as yet have the full sanction of the

declared that Italy will make her
self self-suficient economically even
if she has to work 25 hours a
day." II Duce asserted his program
was a guarantee of peace and
surety of ''the life, the future and
the power" Of the Italian people. He
continued:
For us it is impossible in a world
armed to the teeth to abandon such
a policy. 1t would mean putting our
selves tomorrow, in case Of war, at
the mercy of those who have all and
who can make war without imita-
tion of time or consumption.
