Ten thnes as many income tax re- turns must be filed for the year 1917, under the war revenue act, as were filed in 1916 ording to figures complied by the treasury department.

Many times they did it because the man wanted to come and because they believed the man would find some useful place in the army. A great part of the psychiatrist's work is not so much with mind dis- orders as with what might be term ed “temperament disorders.” “A man may have knowledge that would make him of great value to the army, and still the arny may not be able to une him,” he sald. “There is no place here for a genius, A genius will not and cannot accept orders or advice on the subject of which he knows most. A soldier must obey From this line of reasoning, Capt. Smith lays down the general rule, subject, of course, to exceptions, that the head of a great business, who has always issued orders and never obeyed, cannot be an efficient officer or soldier. He can't obey. Process Is Gentle Capt. Smith has @ test that he plies in every case. “I say to myself.” he declared, ‘Would I be willing to have this man next to me in a trench or next to my son on the battle front? Would I feel safe with him there? Would his presence as an officer or an en- sted man put my life in hazard, or would it contribute to the success in arms of the United States army?” So, while psychiatry lays bare things that are hidden from the eyes of the layman, it is a gentle search |and a necessary search. at them CAMP LEWIS OFFENDERS GIVEN SENTENCES OF 40 YEARS IN PENITENTIARY Staff Correspondent CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Feb. 4—Courte-martial at this camp last week doled out a total of 40 years’ imprisonment to soldier malefactors.
