Klumsh girl, dead from starvation and hardship. In a niche of the rocks of the high mountain pass there was fnund a deserted baby softly crying | beneath a saaale blanlket. Rations Are Scarce. At one point a group of thirty Ar- menmn women gathered at the mid- day halting place of the &ussian sol- ‘diers on the crest of the pass, and moaned for food and clothes, but here was nothing to spare them, as ‘the soldiers themselves were without i bread or fuel to cook their super- | | abundant mutton. They were in a j district where even dry weeds failed | them for fire-building purposes, and | there were no more villages to destroy for roof timbers. Even the veteran ! campaigners of the Russo-Turkish war | of 1877-8 and of every Russian cam- | paign since then are sickened by the conditions with which they come in daily contact in this devastated land, and especially by the emergence of the brute instincts to kill and destroy. The roads and.sheep paths eve: where are bestrewn with the posses- sions of the Kurds of Van vilayet and on the mountains and in the valleys there graze countless thousands of their abandoned sheep. Dead horses, broken saddles, harness and torn uni- forms testify also to the rapid weaken- ing of the Turkish regulars. Stream Bridged With Rugs. One mountain stream was found bridged with rugs and carpets laid on roof timbers from a neighboring vil- lage. Another was formed of the bodies of sheep, similarly supported. The Kurds have borne the brunt of the Turkish retreat, and in addition to the leaving behind of their cat- tle, they have abandoned their rich carpets and rugs, and so much rougn carded wool, that in places the wooi lies thick enough to pave the mudcy roads. Maps Prove Unreliable. The Russian military students this camp claim that the present pro- gress of their forces has cast a shade even upon the cebssing of the Alps by Hannibal and Napoleon. Almost daily this army has had to cross worsa than Alpine heights. The best maps have proven unreliable, and there have been no competent native guides. Detachments have gone thres or four days at a time without a pound of bread or rye toast, and a general halt was' made necessary tc- day by the almost total lack of sart, sugar, bread and barley. The horses have climbed up and down many steep slopes 2,000 feet high on grass alore. The last great pass, a snowy waste of many miles, is marked by scares of dead and dying horses. In | some places the ground to be traw. ersed was covered with snow hun. dreds of feet deep. In other places horses had to be led over narrow, melting snow bridges across swirling streams. To slip was to be engulfea and that fate befell three of the Rus- sian soldiers. In the sunshine it is blistering ana blinding at night there is frost., Last night fresh snow fell on the heights around the camp. The camel train arrived last night, 24 hours late. The men had to sleep the night before in the open. Scarcely a dozen camp fires of scanty dried stubble blazed long enough to boil tea and those too thinly covered to sleep had to walk in the dark to avoid freezing. Killed By Poisoned Weeds. To complete the desperation, the bivouac chanced to be in a place over- grown with poisonous weeds which the starving horses ate greedily. As a result fifty or sixty including Gen. N’s mount were dead before morning. For a week life has been reduced to its elements. Thousands of men think day and night of nothing but the primal animal needs. Warmth, food and rest are paradise herc. The Russian soldier and still more the Armenian volunteer, is resourcefur. Failing tea, bread, and meat, he fares forth to milk, fat-tailed or An- gora sheep. Boots are wearing out and of course there is no depot. Here too, the soldiers resort to self help with the aid of freshly skinned horse ‘hides. Yet there has been scarcely a wora of complaint and the chief regret is that they have been able to force their enemy to accept a decisive en- gagement. HURT AT PLAYGROUN! Viector Morelli aged four, of 195 North street was painfully injured yes- terday afternoon at the Burritt play- grounds by falling from a swing.

Prof. E. R. A. Seligman, of Columbja University. is chairman of this mittee, which includes a number men prominent as students of taxation systems. The chief recommendations of the committee were summarized as follows: “That the system of collection-at- source bhe andoned and a system of information-at-source substituted ex- cept as to non-resident American citi- zens and as to non-resident aliens to the extent that they are taxable. Partnerships Like Corporations. “That partnerships should be treat- ed like corporations in the collection of the normal tax. “That individuals should be allowed to deduct all losses whether incurred in trade or not; also all expenses of | managing investments. This recom- | mendation would meet a wide-spread present criticism. | { com- of | | | Towered to $2,000, “That the exemption should be low- ered to $2,000 on the ground that the tax should rest upon a larger pro- portion of the population, “That all persons having a gross in- come equal to the minimum exemp- tion should file returns instead of us now only those who themselves decide that their net income is over the ex- empt amount. “That corporations should not be taxed on dividends received from oth- er taxable corporations.” Discusses General Matter. Following the specific recommenda- tions the committee discusses general matters which it thinks should be considered in any general reconstruc- tion of the act when that shall be uu- dertaken. It refers to the departure }in various instances from the funda- mental conception of income and in- stances the ommission of rental value of a house as income to the owner thus giving him an unfair advantage as compared with the renter.

It notes the failure in i The final general discussion relates axation of corporations and is and much on' intercst the peculiar complained of limitation deduction by corporations. The com- mittee submits the two views, one that an income tax should be a tax on per- sons only, the other that it should bs in part a business tax and that thus it is not unfair to tax both tHe individ- ual and the corporation on the same income. It makes no recommendation on this point. | | | | | | | | | [ WEST AGAIN TRIUMPHS, McLoughlin and Dawson Win In Ten- | nis Doubles—"Mac” Also Beats Niles | Seabright, N.
