SERBIA RUINED
SAYS DUBLIN
Suffered Terribly at Hands of
Bulgarians, Declares
Statistician
Xcw York, March 10. Serbia,
from Belgrade on the north to Mon
astir on the south, was described i as
both an economic and physical ruin
by Dr. I, Dublin, a statstician of
New York, who has just returned
here from an important mission in
the service of the American Red
Cross which carried him into Italy,
Greece, Serbia and Jugo-Slavia.
Dr. Dublin, who was engaged in
a health survey, declared that in
every one of the countries ravaged
by the enemy, the number of deaths
from disease in the civilian popula
tion far outnumbered the war cas
ualties. As an example of this, he
mentioned Italy where, he said,
nearly 800,000 civilians died from
the influenza epidemic.
Serbia, he added, has suffered
worst of all and he estimated it
would take 15 or 20 years to restore
her to her normal condition.
"The Bulgarians, immediately aft
er their occupation of Serbia, segre
gated the best specimens of Serbian
manhood, womanhood and child
hood, and drove them out of Serbia
into Bulgaria where they worked
them mercilessly," he continued.
"They worked women and mere chil
dren on the road. They paid them
barely a pittance, not enough to
live on. In my trip through Serbia
I encountered thousands of them
coming back and they were Just
emacipted rag bags."
Claims to Be Bravest
Village in England
lioiulon, March 10.—The quaint
little village of Golspie in Guther
landshire is pressing its claims upon
the British people for the distinction
of being the "bravest village in the
Umpire," because in proportion to
its population it received more mili
tary honors than any other com
munity.
The village sent one-fourth of its
1.030 inhabitants into the military
and naval service, and of this num
ber 30 were decorated for some form
of "conspicuous gallantry" or 'de
votion to duty." Among them were
two members of the Duke of Suth
erlands whose ducal home. Dun
robin Castle, is near the village.
Canda Assisting
Disabled Soldiers
Winnipeg, Man., March 10. —i
Preliminary measures have been !
taken by the Dominican Repatria- 1
tion Committee for carrying out the 1
broad plan of assisting returned sol- I
diers and their dependents, which I
may involve a government expendi
ture of $100,000,000.
Loans totaling more than $1,500,- •
000 have already been granted a!
thousand or more returned soldiers, !
while 800 others have made entries j

Employed in Biggest
University
New York, March 10.—The Amer
i ican Army University, the largest
university in the English-speaking
world, has been opened in Beaune,
southeast of Paris.
Fifteen thousand soldiers have en
rolled for a three months' course.
■ The faculty of 500 members, chiefly
drawn from the American expedi
| t'onary force, is headed by Colonel
| Ira I. Reeves, formerly president of
Norwich University in Vermont,
j The American Army University is
one of the four features of the edu
cational system introduced for the
benefit of the expeditionary force,
j The other feathres are: Post schools
in ail organizations for elementary
j work, division educational head
quarters in all armies, corps and
| divisions for vocational training and
] general education of high school
' grade, and the detail of officers and
I soldiers as students at French and
j British universities for post graduate
college work.
I'ost Schools Established
Post schools have been estab
lished in units of 500 or more men.
There are generally forty of such
schools in each division, which will
make more than 1,000 in the A. E. F.
These schools give instructions in
the regular common school subjects.
Emphasis is laid on geography, study
of which is being supervised by Pro
fessor Reginald Aldworth Daly, of
Harvard University.
In each army division there is also
a high school giving both regular and
vocational courses. Around it is
built up the educational organization
of tlie_ division.
The entire educational system is
in charge of Brigadier General
Thomas Henry Rees, who was chair
man of the. War Department's com
mittee on education and special
training and organized the Students'
Army Training Corps in American
colleges.
Hindenburg Plans
Drive on Bolsheviks
C'oblenz. March 10.—Field Mar
shal von Hindenburg is planning to
use volunteer units in a drave
against the Bolsheviki, with Libau
as the base of his operations, it is
indicated by information which lins
reached American intelligence offi
cers.
According to the American experts
who in the line of their duty are
keeping in touch with the progress
of the readjustment of the enemy's
forces, German great headquarters
seems to be following a policy of
secrecy as regards the eastern front
troop question.
The total number of volunteers
now on tlie eastern front or about
to proceed there is estimated at
nearly 100,000. Some of the old
army troops are now on the eastern
front.
TELLS FARMERS
OF TAX REPORTS
Bureau of Internal Revenue
Reports on How to De
termine Income
Washington, March 10. —Instruc-
tions to farmers for making out in
come tax returns, issued by the Bu
reau of Internal Revenue, explain
what outlays may be regarded as
expenses and deducted from ross
income to determine net income
which is taxable.
The cost of ordinary tools of short
life or small cost, it is explained,
such as shovels, hoes and rakes, may
be included. The cost of feeding
and raising live stock may be treat
ed as an expense deduction, insofar
as the cost represents actual outlay,
but not including the value of feed
growa upon the farm, or the labor
of flie taxpayer. Where a farmer is
engaged in producing crops which
take more than a year from the
time of planting to the process of
gathering and disposal, expenses
deducted may be determined upon
the crop basis, and such deductions
must be taken in the year in which
the gross income from the crop has
been realized.
The cost of farm machinery and
! farm buildings represent a capital
[investment and is not an allowable
i deduction as an item of expense.
| Amounts spent in the development
I of farms, orchards and ranches be
fore the time when the productive
state also is reached, and amounts
spent in purchasing draft or work
animals or live stock either for re
sale or for breeding purposes also
are regarded as capital investments,
not deductible.
The purchase price of an automo
bile oven when used entirely in car
rying on farm operations, similarly
is not dedbctable. The cost of gaso
line, repairs and upkeep of an auto
mobile. however, if used entirely on
farm business, is deductible as an
expense. If used partly for busi
ness- and partly for pleasure or con
venience, the taxpayer should de
termine to what extent it is used
for each, and deduct only that part
charged to business purposes.

Repatriation Made
Easy For the Soldier
Washington, March 9.—American
citizens who expatriated themselves
by serving in foreign armies and
alien soldiers or ex-soldiers whether
of American or Allied forces who for
merly lived in the United States, will
not be denied readmission for physi
cal or mental defects incurred in tho
war.
Conditions under which such sol
diers or ex-soldiers may be permit
ted to re-enter this country were
announced by the Department of
Labor yesterday as an interpreta
tion of a recent resolution of Con
gress. The interpretation, it is un
derstobd, is of particular interest
to 150,000 Italians, former residents
of the United States, who left this
country to serve in the Italian army,
propriated $40,000,000 for the return
of the hundreds of thousands of Ital
ians from all parts of the world who
answered Italy's call. The part of
the appropriation designed to return
the Italian-Americans, it is under
stood has been held up pending the
ruling of this government.
The important provisions of the
ruling handed down by tho Immigra
tion Bureau today follows;
"They must prove that they were
previously lawfully resident in tills
country; they must apply for read
mission within a year after termina
tion of the war, and will be allowed
an additional year in which physi
cally to enter the United States: they
must have papers showing that they
have been granted furlough abroad
or have been honorably discharged
or have been rejected on final ex
amination; they must prove. If ment
ally disabled or defective, or suffer
ing from tuberculosis or contagious
disease, that such disability was in
curred while in the military or navaf
service."
Advice to Hi* Lovelorn
BETTER TAKE A TRIP.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been
going with a young man for nine
months. He calls every evening un
less he is out of town, which is sel
dom. During this time he often con
fessed love for me, but has never
actually proposed. We have known
each other since childhood and have
never been separated long except the
the four years I spent in school,
lately he has seemed bored In my
presence and dosen't even bring me
candy any more. From September
until Christmas he brought me either
candy or a book every time he came.
What shall I do? Shall I give him
up, as I think I love him and his
family all like me very much.
OAKLAND READER.
It isn't well for two young people
to be together constantly to the ex
clusion of all other friends. Why
don't you go away for a little visit
somewhere and then matters will
probably adjust themselves. It isn't
always necessary for a man to pro
pose in so many words —many en
gagements are just drifted into.
Seems to me that for candy and
books every evening a man ought to
have quite a bank account and If
he has stopped these gifts probably
he had to In order to save for the
future. Most girls are satisfied with
weekly gifts. I don't believe in al
ways being at home—lf you cannot
go away, be out sometimes, instead.
One can always make engagements
with friends. Above all, don't talk
to o(her people about him —keep
your own counsel.
