Tax doctg?rs after April 1 will be placed in the class of draft slackers and just as vig orously prosecuted. In a statement today, Daniel C. Sfo per,' commissioner of internal revenue, appealed to "all good citizens to file their income tax returns and report' the failures of those who do not make the returns." The bureau of internal revenue has a completed nation wide drag-net. Every government official will have a part in running down the fellow whj at tempts to "unload some of the war bur den in taxes on his neighbor," and last of all, the tax slacker need not expect leniency when ho gets into court, of ficials declared. Clarence Stanley Munkcr Died Regretting Only That Service Was Shortened Clarence Stanley Minkcr, fireman in navy, wao ennstea in oaiem lasi Thanksgiving, died at . the base hos pital, Ellis Island, March 13 of pneu monia. This news has been published heretofore, Ibut the circumstances of Iris death niake the- following letters to his motherfrom the nurses who at tended him, of especial interest to the friends of the family: My Dear Mrs. Minker: I don't think that this letter will bring you any com fort, but I took care of your son dur ing his last days and I want to tell you how sorry I was to see such a fine young man pass away. Clarence fceemed to be such a nice, good boy. We all liked him' so much and I as sure -ou we mourn him deeply. There was a nurse with him all the time, day and night. Miss Heatly took care of lira at night and I took care of him in the day- time. Both army and navy doctors were 5n attendance on nim, we were all very much interested in him, and I assure you that everything possible was done for him. If Clarence were my own brother I couldn't have done more for tim. We longed to have his mother or 'some one very dear to him here when 'he was so ill, but he was very delerious all the time, for several days before 'he died,, and he would not have known you, and it would only have given you all his sufferings to bear, too. I offer you my most sincere sympa thy, as his nurse. Clarence died for his country just as much as if he were fighting in the trenches, and I am sure that he will be honored for it at least 'by ibis comrades here and by the doc 'tors and nurses. . It is hard to offer sympathy for so great a loss and in your deep sorrow. I must now beg your pardon for this liberty I take in writing to you, but &s I was his nurse I thought you would like to know .that everything possible was done for the poor boy. With hopes for your courage to "bear your BorrW I am, my dear Mrs. Minker, Sincerely yours, MARY B. WALSH.

TROTSKY FAILED (Continued from page one) WE PAY WAR TAX BLIGH THEATRE Russia submitted to Germany's terms and Trotsky, humiliated, resigned. But Trotsky's appeal to- Germany will go down in history as one of the most unique documents of the war The United Press today is ab:e to pre sent the official text of the appeal in connection with the circumstances sur rounding its issue. Here it is in part, launched by wireless and through bol shevik agents, after Count Von Hert ling had announced Germany's terms of peace: " Brest-Litovsk. The German nation remains silent, and only for this rea son, could a feeble old man. Count Hertling, appear before the chief com mission of the German rcic.bs.tag' and declare himself able to lead the Ger man people through the Red Sea to u general peace. "Hertling spoke about peace; but first he wanted to prove by reference to a few facts that Germany, with its 67,000,000 inhabitants, among whom are hardly any illiterate, had develop ed a wonderfully perfect technique in these three and a half years of war STARTS TODAY "THE FIREFLY of TOUGH LUCK" Tough Luck' and 'Happy Jack were the first to know a stranger was in the desert, but the whole 'hell-roaring' gold camp later knew and learned to love the 'Firefly' ALSO FATTY ARBUCKLE In "AT CONEY ISLAND" LIBERTY and that, in proficiency and moral val uo, it surpasses the other nations of Europe. Boasts Hertling "And during this time, in which the costs of war the logical result of a Jmilitailismij parried to extremes reBt exclusively on the shoulders of the people, while every household mourns it least one of its members; while the nation with its. blood feeds a multitude of war profiteers, who chaffer away the tears of the poor for strings of pearls for thctir Ifwivcs, idpiring this time of misery, who speaks in the name of the people? 'A Jesuit, over 70 years of age, a professor of philosophy, conservative from top to toe, a friend of the junk ers and of the priests. He dares to doubt the love of peace of the Russian proletariat, and so doing, he reveals his whoio hypocrisy. The German chan cellor knows well that the government of the Russian lniborer loves and wants ipeaco abovo all, he also knows that tnis government; can ajiain uuu i" Russian people into war if any danger should threaten the Russian revolution. "When he pretends to be skeptical as to the love of peace of the' Russian government he does so only to divert the attention of the German people from the fact that the German govern ment offered unacceptable terms of peace to the Russian revolution. Hert ling did not mention a single one of our protests against the German con-, ditions. By no single word did he speak of the indignation which these ieaco proposals called forth in Rus sia. "The imperial chancellor wanted to mae the same speech which since 1915, eveiy German chancellor has made- The fundamental idea of these speeches is this: the German empire, in the consciousness of its power, pro poses a 'just' peace to its enemies, but the wicked enemies refuse to conclude this peace and this proves that the enemies are solely responsible for the prolongation of the war. "When formerly the German gov ernment spoke of the 'just' peace, those who followed the German policy knew at once on how mendacious a foundation this policy was based, but the German people in those days had confidence 1n its government and cred ited its explanations. The Real Peace Terms "But nw this fairy tale has for ever lost its meaning,, for lately when the German peaco terms were made known they read: "The people of Courland,. Lithuania and Poland are to be made slaves of the German junkers; the Russian na tion must pay war indemnity, thus causing this poor land to bear the whole burden of German imperialism. "If the German peace proposals found no echo among the masses in France, Italy and England, it was sim ply and solely because these nations had long ago seen through the shame ful construction the German govern ment js capable of putting on the ex pression 'a just peace'." The Trotsky statement then goes on to assail Count Czernin 'g attitude to ward Belgium in his war aims address and Hertling 's speech later, he says will "ton suspicion among the mass es." The intentional ignoring of the pro test by tho Austrian peoples against Germany's peace terms "shows how untenable are the arguments on which they rest," Trotsky says. "If Cunt Hfrtling does not wish to see the situation as it really is, or I pretends that he does not see it, this iwill hardly banish the dissatisfaction ot the proletariat nor destroy the want in Austria. This dissatisfaction and this want of the Austrian proletariat jwill find an expression so much the stronger when it becomes known how much the German government fears the influence which the Austrian pro letariat exerts upon that of Germay. "This is sufficiently proved by the muzzling policy of the German gov ernment against the Russian press in regard to occurrences in Austria which were everywhere passed over in si ilenee. The chancellor spoke as if it I were still Derember 25. 1917, instead of which it is, January 25, 1918, and i behind us lie great events. And in ! Austria we approach the ides ot March."
