Would Hang Onto Job
Governor Withycombe last niglit' for
mally announced his candidacy for re
election to tlie executive office subject
to tin) republican primaries.

that he would be a candidate for re
election, rnd if elected he will be the
first republican governor in the history
of the state to have served two terms.
He presents his platform largely on
an iss:i;- cf winning the war and a ques
tiiMi of patriotic service.
Hl also declares in favor of rigid law
enforcement, prohibition, equal suffrage
and ae elopment of every phase of state
activity, but at the same time with
the practice of most rigid economy.
He touches upon a number of phases
of Btate activity which should receive
general encouragement and develop
ment.
He also declares that efficiency of
service "must never bo sacrificed for
the sake of political advantage."
Tax Dod?ers Will Be 4
Classed As Slackers
Washington, Mar. 20. 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.
My Dear Mrs. Minker: I want to say
ohmtf f'lnrcnee heeause I

Biers i nave ever kiiuwu. xic suvmuu w

Ho me that every slacker in the land

TROTSKY FAILED
(Continued from page one)

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

but the whole 'hell-roaring'
gold camp later knew and
learned to love the 'Firefly'

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."

The new policy of publicity concern

gives no aid and comfort to tho Ger

that the war will not be won by the

cannot bring victory to the Hohenzul
