Bo Declare! Internal Revenue De
partment of United States When
Asked for Baling'.
TARIFF WILL BE REFUNDED
A base ball club Is not a circus.
The Internal revenue department
of the United States has made this
I decision.
It la a decision that saves profea
bional base ball clubs the snug sum

Hubs come under the same rullrg aa
tlrcuBfca In assessment of the special fov
trnment war ta.
One hundred bucks each wee the blood
money paid over by national paaMroers
of the cluba at Omaha, Lincoln, Colum
bus, Beatrice, Hastings. York, Norfolk,
uiand Island and Fairbury.
With eauh payment went a proteat.
Other protests came by mall, Including
one from Congressman Reavla, and still
others arrived by delegation..
Mr. North haa received word from
Washington In answer to hla request for
a ruling on the subject that baae ball
clubs are not clrcusea and that they shall
pay a tax of only $10.
Mr. North waa very glad to find him
self in the wrong. He smiled and said
he waa "gratified." but recalled that in
1& base ball clubs were taxed the same
as circuses In the war tax of that year.
Mr. North Is ready to refund the ninety
hones. Strictly speaking they cannot be
refunded. The several cluba will first
liavo to pay the $10 tax. Which being
paid, the 1100 formerly paid will be paid
t back. For It la so signed and sealed la
the laws.

In earlier wars.
Various. such 'Hauptpunkte" exist all

there stretch out fen-ehapo Urea to

Along these ribs of tha fan there are

The "Hauptpunkte" may be called for

This headquarters haa, roughly, two
functions the preparing and forwarding
of food and ammunition, and the repair
ing of material that haa been broken
down under the rtraln of battle.
In the city recently visited by an As
sociated Press correspondent, the German
authorities l.ave requisitioned the slaugh
ter houses of a one-time French butcher,
and In It are methodically preparing the
enormous quantities of meat needed for
the army a few miles away.

The cattle are, for the most part, driven
In from Germany. For miles, aa one ap
proach sa the city, one can aee the herda
grailng on the rich French fklda. By
the time they t.ave reached tha division
headquarters they are fat and sleek.
Tha slaughter house, of course, b
neen round entirely too mail for the
amount of work to be done there, espe
cially In that department where meat Is
salted and pickled. In default of recep
tacles, therefore, the army has requisi
tioned. bathtubs and similar Inappropriate,
but useful vessels, and 4n them lie thou
aanda of pounds of meat. A thousand
pounds of wtirst a day la prepared for the
front, aa well aa many hundreds nf
pounds of beef, mutton and pork.
Within a hundred yarda of the slaugh
ter house Is the bakery, formerly a man
ufacturing establishment whose brick
ovens have been found to aaad them
selves very well to the baking nf it, 000
loaves of bread a day. Each loaf, com
posed of one-third of whlta flour and
two-thirds rye flour, weighs 1,500 grama.
Where the necessary railroad tracka
did not exist they have been built ao that
there Is easy and efficient railway con

Civilians Employed.
Perhapa less Important and vital, but
more interesting, are the establishments
where damaged artillery and guns are
repaired and put into ahape for use at
the front again. In tin so plants also

are common to most German cities, but
also a medicament headquarters. In a
wholeasle drug establishment of almost
staggering elsa there are stored aome
4,000.000 marks worth of medicine and
medical Instruments for use in the field
hospital.
Volunteer and professional nurses pre
pare aome 1S.TO0 yards of bandages a
day, which are shipped off to the front
in compact packages. The establishment
maintains fifteen mounted filtering plants
that are shifted from point to point along
the front and prepare dally some 10,000
liters of water for the soldiers.
There are also moveable Roentgen Ray
machines which ran be taken to the
front for use in desperate cases. Toxins
and serums In little globules are on hand
In great quantities, and the equipment
of the plant Is so complete that there
are even cases of snow goggles for the
use of the Soldiers on sunny days In

Aa an adjunct to the wholesale drug
establishment there Is a soap fartory
