TAX ON INCOMES TO
PRODUCE $8o,ooo,ooo
Reports From Internal Revenue
Collectors Show Returns Will
Exceed Estimates.

Washington. May 1.-Complete pre-.
liminary estimates from all Internal
revenue collection districts received at
the treasury department indicate that
the individual and corporation income
tax this year will not only come up to
the original estimates of $50, 900, 900, but
probably will exceed that sum.
This is the most welcome bit Of In
formation that has come to the ears of
treasury officials in many months. It
was said that the estimate put the
amount to be collected at $780, 35. 900, but
officials are confident that results will
show several millions more.
Estimates of returns from corpora
tions do not indicate so much income
from that source as was looked for, but
the loss has been more than offset on
the individual side.
About $4,000 persons paid. Secre-
tary McAdoo and Commissioners OF In
ternal Revenue Osborn have made It
clear that they proposed this year to
pursue all persons suspected OF tax
lodging, n this is believed to have
had an effect.

London. May MARKED progress
apparently has been made by the allies
in their efforts to win the D~ardanelles
by land operations. Reports OF this
fighting are fragmentary and often
conflicting. but they indicate that the
British hav succeeded in establishing
two lines across the Gallipoli peninsula
on the European side of the Dardanel-
les: one near the tip. the second at the
other end near the entrance to the Sea
of Marmora.
Significant i'm this connection is an
official report from Berlin based or adj
vices received there from the OAR
danelleS. In this statement it is said
severe fighting has occurred at the town
of Gallipoli. This town lies on the
straits at the entrance of the Sea of

Official quarters still remain reticent
concerning the military operations on
the Dardanelles, but the London papers
this morning contain a number of spe-
cial dispatches from that region in
which claims are made that the allies
are steadily advancing under cover of
the fire by the fleet. but not without
meeting an opposition which is caus-
ing heavy losses.
British troops are reported in occu-
