K. McClintock yes terday received four letters from their sons, John and Leon, who are with the I'. S, forces in France. These were dated as late hs Nov. 2;i. They had moved back from the front, where they wore when the armlstlcn was signed, and were in their last billets, from which they were expect ing orders to leave for the embarka tion point on the coast, thence to sail for home. No word has reached here yet as whether they have sailed, but they may be already nt sea. They wrote that they had been with the first army in the great drive in the Argoune forest, during the last tew weeks of the fighting. 1 his was the first definite word as to their lo cation. All the boys were reported ; well and anxious to get started home. Harrle Booth In Paris. Two more letters from Harrie Pool h were received today by his Parents. Hon. and Mrs. J. 11. Itooth. He was located at Fort Montmorency in a town of the same name, which Is a suburb of Paris. Although the distance is about 12 miles, the rail way fare is only two cents, while the street cars charge about 15 cents. Al though many Americans do not like French railway trains, he was rather pleased with the t rains there. He was in Paris on the previous Sunday when the great celebration was held over the recovery of the lost provinces, Alsace and Lorraine. The crowd was so immense he could not get near enough to hear President Po! lira ire speak. When he wrote, the first touch of winter had come, with a little snow. He said they hail just received word that theyi were to move soon and thought it would probably be to a coast port for! embarkation for home. Nothing defl- ; nite is yet known here as to whether this was the result. If so. he should be well on the way across by this lime. Cleo Tipton in Ocrnuiiiy. Mr and Mrs. W. C. Tipton today received letters from their son, Cleo. j who reached the battle front in 1 France just as the lighting ceased, j He said he had just been assigned to j the American army of occupation and was going on Into Germany,! hence he miuht not get home for a year. He w as opt i mist ir, however, and wit h the many interest ing ex periences ahead he thought the time would pass quickly.

This was developed at a meeting of tin tax commission today, when the slate tax levy wus made officially. Tho tigures cover one year only. From tho total amount of tho budget for u year's time, or $4.;in0.;i!M. has been deducted $:;s,::ou. estimated for tho military police be fort that organization was reduced, and then a further reduc tion of fSld.ru, representing treas ury receipts, is deducted, leaving $;t, ir. 1.570 that should bo levied for if tho ti per cent limitation did not stand In the way.

Tho at tempt of officers of the (.ierinun high sens fleet to make a suicidal sortie against the llritish grand fleet be fore tho urmistleo was signed la characterized by the lierlln Vor waertK as "the last devilish crime against the Gorman people that sealed tho doom of the Pan -Germans." Refusal of the sailors to go out and fight is regarded us the first step toward the German revolution. This mutiny is described by the Vor waerts us ,-un act of self-defense by KO.ooo men tigtiiiist the villainous Pan-Gorman plan. "To understand the position," con tinues the newspaper, "it is neces sary to go back to the feverish pro paganda by the Pan-Gemmus ut the end of October for u so-called nation al fight of despair. To save their nooks they conceived the Idea of bait ing the people into a forlorn hope which could only end In complete extinination. The death of the doomed eighty thousand did not con cern those maniacs In whose reckon ing human blood never counted. Their notion of military honor was lhal the whole people should stirrer themselves to he butchered lather than undergo the shame of defeat. "Willi their minds steeped In the worship of might they had no Inkling of the revolutionary currents among the men. They still imagined that Iron discipline was paramount. Their fiendish plan was to send nut the ships to be sacrificed lo the last man. The news spread like wildfire. " 'At the last stage of the war are we all to he Wiled?' they asked. "The officers harangued, cajoled, in vain Three times the order was given. It was a difficult position tor (he men with no backing but their feeling of solidarity. A thousand were imprisoned at Withelmshaven. The choice between freedom and Im prisonment w as not difficult. It was revolution, ll was the irony of fate that t he Pan (Iermans, with what was to be their last desperate blow, should t hemselves ha e started the conflagration, it was this last devil ish crime against the German people Ihat sealed their doom." II Wan n liliubb Slubt. Admiral Hcatty, who has Just re lumed to this country, shvh the sur render or the German high seas fleet was a pitiful thing and ft whs. Con trast it with the action of the de crepit old Spanish squadron of Cuba, whoso commander bravely re fused to strike his flag, hut pre fer ret I to see his vessels sink With ihe Spanish ensign still flying. The allied commanders expected the Ger man fleet to make a dash for Ihe open seas when the hour of nitttonal -ol la pse came, and as naval men they were disappointed in that an enemy who lights to the last in tho face of hopebss disaster Is always respected by his roniuerors, declares Hit Salem Journal. Tht action of tlo Germans miclH futile the protest ot Admiral You Iteiiier, itgiiin.t the sinking of his flag during the ceremony of the sur render. At that t mie I he admiral said: I esteem ft unjustifiable nnd con 1 1 ai y to internal lomil custom," he says, "to order the sinking of flag on German ships. Moreover, In my opinion, the order to strike the flag was not in keeping wilh the idea of iblv a I rv Im t w t-eii two honor able op ponents." The protest was unheeded because Uie feeling of h soldier or a sailor who prefer surrender lo a flntsn liglil gels scant consideration at the hands of men , who mo disappointed In his course. In this case there w ot e not t wo honorable opponents, and that Is why the German ring had to come down. As Admiral Utility says, it was a piliable sight. I'lIOF. PMIIi, IIOMK I KilM WASHINGTON, l.
