AMERICANS IN ASIA MINOR
Yankee Influence In That Country
' Dates Back Over Almost a Cen
tury, Declares Writer.
Asia Minor, which Is the property
of Turkey, is really a continent In It
self. It Is a continent little known to
Americans, and yet It Is one where
Americans are well known, says Nik-
sab. American Influence there goes
hack over almost a century, nnd It Is
certainly to bo hoped Unit the present
unfortunate sltuntlon will not wipe It
out. For the American Is highly re
carded In this part of 1he world.
Travel almost where you will In this
vast Interior,! and in the most insig
nificant village you are likely to ilnd
someone who speaks Ktigltsh, nnd who
will entertain you with his best be
cause you are tin American. Our mis
sionaries, our schools and our hos.
pltals are responsible. Their pa
tients and their pupils come from
every part of tho near Fast, and none
of them leave without a great respect
for the strange Westerners. The
schools nre responsible for the spread
of the English tongue, but tho hos
pital work Is probably the root of
more gratitude than any of our other
activities.
All the subject races of Turkey in
Asia Minor look to America and to
Fngland for rescue nnd relief. Most
of them, as for example, the Arme
nians,' hope for nationalism. AH of
them believe that the Western world
Is greatly Interested in their fate, and
the belief Is one of their few consola
tions under a cruelly oppressive system.
REMEMBER, KAISER TO BLAME
But for Prussia's Mad Ambition and
Barbarous Methods, World Prob-
ably Would Be at Peace Don't
Forget Income Tax.
WnshliiKton How does the war tnx
strlko you? How do you enjoy put
ting up three cents Instead of two on
nil letters .sent out of town? How do
you like paying the extra charge for
movies, railroad tickets, telegrams,
long-distance phone messages?
And. by the way, If you are single
nnd earn more than $1,000 a year, you
have to pay a two per cent tax on all
In excess of the thousand bucks. And
If you are married, you haw to pay
two per cent tax on your annual In
come In excess of $2,000.
Didn't you know that? Well, It's
true, and the tax must be paid by
June 1. 1018 for the whole year 1017.
If you fall to pay, the government can
exact a henvy penalty. But remember,
folks. It Is all done to help whip the
kaiser. If the tax ntnkes you
grouchy, cuss the kaiser, don't cuss
our government.
All of the new taxes fall upon tho
nveniKc man. They have nothing to
do wlih the "conscription of wealth."
iney are a part of the program of
taatlou to make each man, woman
and child in the United States feel u
direct personal part In the war. They
apply to freight, passenger and ex
press transportation, pipe lines. Pull
man seats and berths, telegraph and
telephone messages, Insurance poli
cies, admissions to theaters nnd
"movies" and to club dues. The ef
fect of most of them is felt, therefore,
In a slight rise In the IiIkIi cost of
living.
The taxes are expected to net the
federal government the following revenues:
Postage -Three cents an ounce
or fraction thereof on letters for
other than locnl delivery; two
cents on all postal enrds.

friend began to Investigate, and made
his way Inland, In search of signs of

hear voices. He listened for some
time, but could not mako out what

louder nnd nn argument arose between
tin; men around the fire. One exclaim
ed In n loud voice: "I plnyed tho

"You'ro n liar." Shockney's friend at
