When recruiting for his army was going on, many men were reject- ed because of their shortness of stat- ure, and Lord Kitchener's idea was that, if. the little men wanted to fight for their country, the right should not be denied them. So he began to or- ganize the little men. A correspondent at the British headquarters in the field says of them: No man of five feet three inches was accepted. Short men who' had been turned away in the early days of the new army formed the first battalion. As it was a success, others followed. At the front they were brigaded to gether, and a visitor to certain parts of the line sees thousands of sturdy, short -legged men marching along the roads and . keeping guard in the trenches. Many jokes have been made about them, It was even iluggested that when they went into the trenches some one would have to hold them up to the ,parapet to fire. Instead of having to hold them up, however, the difficulty is to keep them from show- ing their heads. They have the ad- vantage of being small targets, and they are completely sheltered in a trench where another man's head would be. exposed, No commander is prouder of his •than 'the commander of the tams."

Harvest. on Munition Manufacturers —Foreign Companies Taxed. Italy's new war taxes, to be ap- plied, beginning next June; are ex - peeled to bring upwards of forty mil- lion "dollars.

An additional tax of three -tenths of one per cent. is levied on the foreign companies doing business hz Italy. Another heavy tax falls on pro- perty -owners. A direct tax of 6 per cent. monthly is to be paid by own- ers of apartment and tenement houses or' on rented houses. A small direct tax is imposed on all soldiers and of- ficers who, though mobilized, do not form part of the active fighting troops, and another tax is imposed on men who perform no military duty because of ill -health or other reasons.
