Mr MtvMB Groat Dritiu and the
MMiiKil State* of America la un think-'
Is not. Anything is thinkable.'
f\>r ther, 4s a.very considerable,
iu Clement in this country that is do- ,
ou lag its level best to bring on anch
Bi a calamity. '
of la the first place, there Is an -"anil
pi ^tient grudge," as Owen Wlster has
hi ao vividly described for us, born in
IS pi' *h? war of the Revolution and c&reh>
folly nurses in school histories evertu
since.
iuoi ut?re 1a me met that, (or the)
V - mob, patriotism is always hate of,
a aom? other country rather than lore
? of one's own, and Great Brltlan was
1?> ear earliest foe. |
1 Besides these, th? natural friction
i>nd envy between kin and of late'
nea ie Irish question hare added to the
no jeat. 1
r It is also quits the style for politielans
and newspapers of the baser
sort, to indulge la'the popular pas.
One of twisting the Lion's tail.
. It is from such small sparks that
t| great conflagrations grow,
r Nobody expected the last great
war. It "Just growed." And nobody
expects a war between the two great
Bnglish speaking powers.. But wars
are not planned: thev &r. tr?m?n.
(tons explosions causey by the growing
pile of (1) long taught hates,
(2) carefully nurtured Jealousies,
and (3) the possession of great battlefleeta
or armies.
The pile Is growing. All that is
needed is for some fool to drop a:
. .fnatch in it and it will blow up.
?r ,orne reckless American or some .
chuckle-headed Englishman given!
Just the right occasion, can bring on 1
the horror.
And what will it mean?
It will mean to begin closest i
home, the arming of the Canadian1
, border, and they are good fighters. |
For many a year we have lived beside
this, our neighbor, in the peaceful
rivalry of trade. Whose imagination
is equal to the unspeakable re-t
suits of a war upon so widely j
stretched a border?
It will mean the bombardment of:
New York or London.
It will mean, of course, a clash be-j
tween the two.most powerful navies J
In the world, with all the loss of life
and prosperity that war involves. {
It will mean * war infinitely more,
rrignuui tn&n tne last, since the
Germans raged over only Belgium!
and parts of France, "while this ruin'
will affect the richest and most pop-'
alous centers of civil txatlon.
There I* little doubt that today,
what civilisation we have depends,
upon Great Brltlan and the United
?tatee. If they fight, both will be.
.destroyed, whichever conquers.
That will be the end of the white;
asaa and his Ideals. By his own lneredible
folly he will have cut his
throat, and the scepter will pass to!
the Oriental. '
la other words, it will be the Day
of Judgment and the wiping out of
European culture and states, just as
Greeoe perished and Rome destroyed
by the barbarian.
Another Dark Ages will ensue, |
ravaged by the unhinged fanatics
of Bwnlt and the Imperial plotters |
of Japan.?Frank Crane iu The.

.Witnessed Armenian Horrors.
Colombia, Jan. 31?Rev. Isaac
Yams*, of Armenia, who was educaed
In America sad In turn was a
tonoher in the only American oollege
in Syria, says in a message to the
Near Beat Relief:
"I have fought In this war. I have
eeen these horrors, seen the starvation,
seen men torn asunder, seen]
women carried aw ay captive, seen
koakeada killing their wires when
th? Turks came to snatch them away.
I hare . been in theee fights when
methane took their children in bags
and fled to sere them. I hare been
asm of them myself."
And as an Armenian he says: "We
are hilled; wa are starring, first of
all because we are christians. We are
christians of ages; we are the original
christians; we hare been fighting
Islam alone for 1300 years.
Why should wa sare Armenia? We <
most sare Armenia to nave Christianity
and when wa do that we sare <
America, for withonl Christianity
Me would be no America.

us of all crops raised in ths United
States in ^%T9. This is a decrease
in value since last year of over 15,570,000,000,
or about 35 per cent, an
almost Inconceivable, which reprs- }
ssnts nearly the total value of all
crops produced as late a* 1912. If.
however, to' this decline in crop values
is added the decrease In the livestock
products this year, compared
with the. 1919 value, it is estimated
that the drastic deflation campaign
of the government has cosfrthe agricultural
interests of to!" country
probably over $8,000,000,000, an
amount nearly equal to the total value
of all crops produced as late as
1916. i
Through this almost criminally
produced reduction in the country's
agricultural wealth, the farm interests
have * suffered because their,
crops were the most costly to produce '
tn our history. They were forced to
pay the top prices for wages and materials
and now are recelvng the lowest
price for their finished product,
not because of purely economic reas-,
cms, but by downward manipulation,
of the market brought about through'
ttaaa il??
uuovi miiuence oC the federal
reserve board's action in forcing restriction
of credit. 'Not only the
[arming Interests have been the
loser under this wholly erroneeus
policy, but everyone, capitalist and
Laborer alike, are suffering. It hits
laborer alike, are suffering. It hits the
tarxner the hardest, however,because
most of his work is done on borrowed
capital and it struck at a time
a hen he had all at stake.
If to the 1920 crop values be added
the values of the livestock products
the total wealth production on
the farms of the country this year
will be about $16,500,000,000. compared
with $24,982,000,000, the value
of all agricultural products in
1919 and $22,479,000,000 in 1918.

INCOME TAX EXEMPTIONS
Heads of Families, $2,000; Single
Persons, gl.OOO.
Single persons though required to
file a return if their net income for
1920 was $1,000 or more, are, if they
are the heads of families, granted a
special exemption under the revenue
laws. Such a person is defined by
treasury regulations as "a person who
actually supports and maintains in
one household one or more individuals
who are closely connected with
him by blood relationship, relationship
by marriage, or by adoption, and
whose right to exercise family control
and provide for these dependent
individuals is based upon some moral
or legal obligation." Such persons
are allowed the exemDtlon ?f tt nnn
granted a married person. In addition
they are allowed a credit of 9200
for each dependant under 18 years of
age or incapable of self support because
mentally or physically defective.
Husband and Wife.
A married person living with hushanH
anH wlfn AsnnAt ?l?l~ ?- -J
tlonal 92,000 exemption as the head
of a family. His or her exemption
la baaed upon the martial status, irrespective
of the support of others
living in the hams household. The
additional |200 for dependants does
not apply to the husband or wife of
a taxpayer. For example, If a married
man supports a father who is
incapable of self-support he is entitled
to the 9200 credit for such person,
[f through force of circumstances he
supports his wife away from home he
Is entitled to the 92,000 exemption
allowed a married person, but not
to a $200 credit for a dependent.
"A son who has left home, but who
sends his mother more than one-half
the sum required for her support is
sntltled to the 9200 credit, provided
the mother can not support herself,
otherwise, the amount must be considered
as a gift, and, therefore, the
credit is not allowed. A son living at
home and supporting his father,
mother, or other relative may claim
the 92,000 allowed the head of a
Family, but not the 9200 credit unless
such relative Is under 18 years of
age or incapable of self-support.
