4 great battle is being fought along
the San River southwest of Przemsyl
and fifty miles west OF Lemberg.
Upon the outcome of this battle de-
ponds Russia's ability to carry the war
into Silcsia. A great Russian army
under the victorious Gems. Ruzsky
and Brousiloff is endeavorinG to COM
pete earlier triumphs against Gems
Won AuffcuberG and Dankl.
The Austrians by one OF the most
desperate retreats in history have been
able to preserve the remains Of forces
battered at lcmberg and Tomaszow
and, concentrated along the San, are
making final stand against the Rus
SLAMS. Reports from Russian, Aus
trlan and German sources together
with dispatches from Rome indicate
that the Austrian armies are again at
bay.
Their tactics are directed by strate-
gis,s Of the German General staff, hur-
redly sent to GaliGia after pressing APP
pcals from Vienna. The lines of de-
fcnce around Pr2cmysl have been ar
ranged by the Germans, who have as
su,ncd responsibility. There is news
that several German army corps have
been united with the battered Austrian
armies and that the situation from
the Austu-G German standpoint IS more
hopeful.

cannon hammer at the allied armies,

German positions and have been able
here and there to gain ground but only

INCOME TAX COMPUTATION
EXPLAINED TO FARMERS
Treasury Calls Interpretation
by Secretary Houston One of
Best That Has Been Made.


Washington. Feb "a statement adj
dressed to farmers to-day by the Score
tary Of Agriculture regarding the income
tax includes the following explanation Of
the method Of computing the tax:
"In general, an income consists in
amounts derived from salaries. wages or
compensation for personal service. paid in
any form also from professions, business,
sales or dealings in property, or from
rents. interest on bonds or mortgages.
dividends on stocks or other income from
investments. These items constitute gross
income. from which there should be de-
Quoted the expenses of carrying on the
business. interest paid on Indebtedness.
worthless debts charged off. losses by
fire. storm or shipwreck not covered by
insurance, exhaustion. wear and tear of
property, and any income upon which the
income tax has already been deducted at
the source. as. for instance. dividends on
the stock Of a corporation which has al
ready paid the tax on its earnings.
1.-THE provisions regarding net income
Of 5000 apply only to unmarried persons
or TO married persons not living with
wife or husband. A husband and wife
living together are entitled to an eXemp-
ton of 5000 ON their aggregate income.
This means that en- case the wife has a sep
! arate income and if this added to the hus-
! bands income, amounts to $4,000, the total
is subject to the tax; or if the wife has
no separate income, the husbands income
| is taxable only I'm case II reaches 5000
Eut a return must be made II the aggre-
| gate income OF both is $500 for the year
| 1913 The Joint exemption however would
be 1883 60"
This euccinct statement is regarded boy
! Treasury Department officials as one Of
, the best interpretations Of the income tax
| law which has been issued.

WAR SECRETARY MAY GO
British Cabinet Members Fear Disrup-
tion in Ranks of Army If Mar
shall Quits.

London, March 28.-The British gov
ernment's situation became more criti
cal on Thursday. The crisis is fast ap-
preaching. Every indication points to
the sacrifice of Colonel Seely, secre-
tary of state for war, to prevent Field
Marshal Sir John French, chief of the
imperial general staff, and Sir John
Spencer EWart, adjutant general,
from resigning from the army council
Both officials resigned. The resigna-
lions caused Premier Asquith to aban-
don his plan to make a further state
ment to parliament, and a cabinet
meeting was called hurriedly. Every
effort was made to induce Field Mar
shall French and the adjutant general
10 withdraw their designations. Both
men resigned because they were joint
signers with Colonel Seely to the two
repudiated paragraphs of instructions
to General Cough. They refused to
withdraw their designations unless
Colonel Seely was removed.
Fearful that the detection Of it's vir-
tual head would cause the disruption
of the army, Premier Asquith is be-
ieved to have decided to cast aside
Colonel Seely, and it is said he again
has resigned.
