EM-TEES
THE LAST SOLDIER
(Hv Karl Broesor. iu A'orwaorts. No
vember. l!)18. Translated bv Ed
mund von llarh.) ,
Over cadaverous mountins of time
. The last soldier is uantinj on his
Aemal climb.
From the Mountain of Skulls, higher
than earthly peaks.
Ho looks, and he calls, and he
seeks :
"Ilero on the summit of Arve I stand.
Spvmc for men. real men in the land:
lint onlv soldiers, dead soldiers, I see.
Arc the men all gone Can this
really bef -
Show yourself, brother.''white. black,
or tan, ,.
- That I mnv see main the face of a
. ' living man."
Throueh the chasms of heaven wild
flames roar.
And the searcher, filled with vearn-
inz to his core.
Hands enveloped b flames: sacred
fires environ him :
And his uniform, with its tassels.
tawdry and erirn-,
,1s licked by flames. Il'irlows. and
" it burns:
It sinks from him in ashes, and the
-" searcher turns.
, While from the smouldering pyre, as
in a spell. . '
He hears the last soldier savins his
final farewell.
On the Mountain of Skulls, cleansed
bv the fire's ravs.
stands a naked man. sinless, amazed.
Without a shell or a bomb, or a dan
cer or gnu. '
He looks about him like creation's
first son
With .the , eyes of a child: and love
trnlv erent
Contemplates the ruined world and its
i fratricidal fate.
.' And thrbnch blood and horror, and
fire's smoulderinz trace r
He winss his hopeful wav toward the
' new down of the race.

SOME SOLIWEnS REDUCED TO
, liKGXJARY, SAYS GKX. WOOD
. CHICAGO, Feb. 22. Major Gen
oral Leonard Wood, In a Washing
ton's birthday addreBS today appeal
ed to "good citizens" to look after
111 e interests of returning soldiers.
lie said many soldiers and sailors
could not be blamed for feeling bit
ter when they wore unable to find
work. Some, he said, had actually
!bocn reduced to beggary.
"The lowest type of person Is the
man or woman who preys upon the
i-oturnlng soldier or sailor, and robs
or swindles him out of whatever he
has," Major General Wood said. "Yet
such as these are the ones who have
oxtonded tho welcome greeting while
our good citizens have remained

TODAY'S CASUALTIES
A POST MORTEM OF VICTORY.
THAT eminent Y. M. C. A. strategist, Oovcnior Henry
'Allen of Kansas has been detailing to the senate
committee the alleged military; mistakes of the battle of
the Argoime. Inasmuch as ho was not at the front, and
his information was based upon gossip in "Y" canteens,
he was rather reckless in his charges. Hut ho drew co
piously from his vast amount of misinformation based
upon tittle-tattle.
Allen charged that Kansas troops of the 35th division
had been shot down by their own cannon, that there was
a reckless sacrifice of life, 'an insufficiency of supplies and
armament and' inadequate, air protection all of which
charges were refuted by General Peter E. Traub, division
"commander,. who personally
and was gassed live tunes m the battle.
The battle Avas gloriously won. The strongest forti
fied positions in -France were speedily captured. The
35th 's record is a magnificent one as is that of all Ameri
can divisions participating iu the Argonne battle, or ot her
strenuous battles in France. "What then, is the object of
seeking to belittle and discredit the rank and file of the
army after it had proved its mettle and won the war?
What is the animus of these malicious charges and these
senatorial postmortems?
What does a Y. M. 0. A. worker know of strategy and
tactics, of militarism and war, and tho conduct of war,
even if he is a Kansas politician1? In what position is he
to pass judgment upon the(battle raging at thesfront from
his safe position in the rear ? Such malicious meddling,
can only react to the discredit of the Y. M. C: A., whose
business is welfare work and not managing tho strategy
of war.
""What is the object of this postmortem of victory?
What else can it be but polities an effort to discredit
General Pershing and the conduct of the war which
would have been won so much better had the politicians
been allowed to manage it instead. Why in half the time,
the Germans would . have been talked back to Berlin.
And so we may expect the gab-fest to continue and every
one with a real or fancied grievance permitted to air it
but tliey cannot mar tue glorious achievements ot the
anm-.
THE -WOMAN WHO DRESSED LIKE A MAN.
T N THE death of Dr. Mary
world loses cmo nf its
the first of American women to win fame as a physician
and surgeon, a pioneer in sex emancipation, in feminine
dress reform and as an advocate of woman suffrage. She
became celebrated in both the United States and England
as a lecturer in the half a. century following the war and
was the first woman to attempt to cast a vote. Her livli
hood during all these years, for she never married, was
earned by her private practice as a physician.
Four years of her life was spent on the battlefields of
the Civil war as a surgeon. Graduating as a physician at
the age of 23,-she practiced her profession until the out
break of tho war, when at the age of 29, she volunteered
her services and entered the Union army as assistant sur
geon with the rank of first lieutenant. By special act of
congress she adopted male attire, dressed like her
brother officers, wearing a gold stripe running down the
trouser legs, wearing a felt hat with a gold cord and an
officer's overcoat. The jacket was cut like a blouse and
fitted loosely at the neck.
Dr. Walker was distinguished,' not only as the first
woman to be commissioned in the army, but also as the
only woman in history who, when held as a captive iu war,
was exchanged as a prisoner of war for a man of equal
rank in the army of the foe. Her proudest possession was
the bronze medal she wore, engraved with the legend:
"Presented by the Congress of the United States to Mary
E. Walker, A. A. Surgeon, U. S. Army."
After the war, Dr. Walker availed herself of the privi
lege granted her by congress' to wear male attire in civil
life and always wore a black frock coat, trousers and a
"stove-pipe" hat, and carried a cane. She was the only
woman in the country who ever Avon her right to dress as
she pleased.
Though a pioneer in advocacy of woman suffrage, she
had no sympathy with the spectacular efforts of the latter
day suffragists and deplored the antics and strong-arm
tactics noAV in A-ogue. The efforts to bulldoze congress by
insulting the-president' disgusted her, and she recently
declared, Avith considerable vigor: ,
"Women will get suffrage just as soon as they stop making fools of
themselves. They've got to Btop talking so much and do some work. These
everlasting amendments will never get them their rights. They want to
state what they want and stick to it."
Short Talkson
Mr. Bachelor, was your net income
for 1918 $1000 or more?
Mr. Benedict, was your net Income
for 1918 $2000 or more? -
It so, you are required to file an
Income tax return with the collector
of internal revenue for the district In
which you live on or before March
13'.
Congress has carefully differenti
ated between the person who "falls"
and the person who "wilfully re
fuses" to make a return, and pay tho
tax within the time specified by the
new revenue bill. Delinquents of the
first class are subject to a fine of not
more than $1,000. Those of the
second class are subject to a fine of
not more than $10,000, or Imprison
ment for one year, or both. For
making a fraudulent return, the pen
alty Is a fine of not more than $10,
000 or imprisonment for one year,
or both, and an additional assess
ment of 50 per cent of the amount of
tax evaded.

Income Taxes
For falling to make the return on
time, in addition to the $1000 fine,
there is an assessment of 25 per cent
of the amount of lax due.
Taxes may be paid In full at the
time of making tjie return, or In four
Installments, the first of which Is due
on or before September 15 and the
fourth on or before December 13.
If any Installment Is not paid when
due, the entire amount becomes diic
ten days after demand therefor by
the collector. For falling to pay the
tax when due there is a penalty of 5
per cent of the amount unpaid, plus
Interest at tho rate of 1 per cent a
month during which It remains un
paid.
Last year Income taxes were due
on or before June 15. The bureau of
Internal revenue Is seeking to empha
size that this year, to avoid pehalty,
the taxpayer must pay at least one
fourth of his tax on or before March
15.
