NO. 20,701 IF THE TREASURY CAN SEE NO FARTHER. Whird Liberty Loan, the Treasury Department nevertheless declare There is no provision of the law under which this depart- ment may defer beyond June 16, 1918, the payment of income and excess profits taxes, aud the financial requirements of the Government are euch as to make it unwise for this department to recommend to Congress at this time the enactment of legislation that will authorize the departmont,to defer such payments beyond June 16, win the war? Does the Treasury Department believe that the collection of all income and excess profits taxes before June 15 would bring the Gov- ernment more in the long run than that steady offering of savings to the national cause certain to be stimulated by an extension of the installment privilege for war-tax payments? Is the Treasury Department taking the surest way to establish that close connection with the current earnings and savings of; ‘Americans upon which it so largely counts for what is to come? Could not the Government of the United States, in striving to; bring citizens to a sense of closer financial partnership in all national undertakings, profit by the experience of the French Government, which of all governments is sure of the last franc piece from the family stocking, and which in the past has made it a practice to ease | the load @ taxes by permitting thei to be paid in installments? The Treasury Department ignores such quegfions. It does not deny that the Third Liberty Loan is handicapped by | impending income and excess profits tax payments. Yet it makes no effort to adjust the burden even for the Government's greater and enduring profit. Such finance can hardly be called farsighted. At a time when Government, business and people in the United States should everywhere draw together, if the Treasury holds aloof then Congress ought not to wait for a recommendation but itself take the initiative in deferring war-tax payments beyond June 15.

HIS {s the story of a woman who helped to save the Union in ono of its blackest hours and who went to her grave unrewarded. Sho was Anna Ella Carroll, daughter of a famed old Maryland family. The Civil War was in its first high tide. The Con- federates held the Southwest and could not be dis- lodged. Tho key to their strength there was the Mississipp! River, which bristled with their forts and afforded them @ clear watorway from the Gulf of Mexico north. Lincoln's advieers planned to descend the Mit sippi from Union territory, forcing their way south- ward, But presently they found it could not be done. Thon it was that Miss Carroll bit on her plan for | subduing a great part of the Southwest without trying to hammer this | Mississipp! obstacle away. Bhe made inquiries of pilots and found the Tennessee River would be |navigable for Union gunboats, Also that the Tennessee was by no means \go strongly defended by the Confederates as was the Mississippi, mapped out a pian of campaign with this end in view and got it placed before President Lincoin, She It was not the illogical project of @ girl, but the carefully built-up | scheme of a woman of forty-six—a woman of strong and unusual mentality. Lincoln was delighted with the plan. Gen, Mc- Clellan opposed it. But the President overruled the opposition and had the venture put into effect at once, The kernel of the tdea lay in Miss Carroll's written statement to the War Department: “The true key of the war 1s not the Mississippi but the Tennessee ne Lincoln Actes in Crisis. River!” She pointed out tho weakness of the Tennessee forts, the soundings of | the river, the advantages of fighting, not in tho heart of a hostile country (as along the Missiseippi) but in touch with the fon base of supplies. would cut the Con- All of these important facts had been overlooked by our War Depart- It ree matned for Lincoln's wise brain to grasp tho full value of Miss Carroll's The Tennessee campaign began. It was carried on fn nearly every Tennessee and the wavering State The victories to the south of her Miss Carroll had helped to reconquer the Southwest and, incidentally, to win the war and save the Union, That was her reward. And that was ‘her only reward. For the President and his Cabinet dreaded the effect on the army and on the public at large if it should become known that the mighty Tennesyvee campaign was the work of a mere woman's brain— that a woman had had the cleverness to seo at a time when the army chiefs were blind. So the matter was kept secret. At least it w ‘oMcially” a secret, Miss Carroll herself was pa- triotic enough to be willing to wait until the proper time before claiming public recognition of her great services. But the “proper time” never arri The Civil War ended, and Abraham ‘Lincoln's glorious life ended with it. And even then credit was withheld from Miss Carroll, At last, years afterward, she petitioned Congress for the money and her. Senators Lodge and Hoar and Wise and others fought gallantly to establish her rights. But Congress refused to act in the matter.

They start oft for one place, criss-cross each other and turn around and come back without having touched any glven point. Nothing frightens a man like a woman's stony silence. Somehow, in spite of his lack of Intuition, he has a sub-conscious premonition that her love is dead when she is too weary and disinterested to “answer back.” “tELeN Mowane A man never will understand why a woman will pay ten doliars a week to a maid to save her from exertion and ten do!lars more to a beauty doctor to teach her how to exercise her flesh off, But then a man never will understand a woman anyway!
