WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

With the military operations on all the major battle fronts continuing far below normal, the internal political sit nations in Germany, Russia and Fin land still are to the fore in general interest. In all three of these coun- tries the turbulence of past days, in- volving constituted and de facto gov- ernments on the one hand and dissat- jsfied populations on the other, still prevails.
 In Russia the Bolsheviki have cap tured the important Black sea port Of Odessa and also the railroad junction of Orenburg, which lies near the Asi- atic frontier. In addition, the Bolshe- wiki is continuing it's program of hos tilities against Rumania, the revolu- tionary committee of the Black sea fleet having confiscated a large num- Der of merchant and other vessels in the Black sea in order to hamper Ru- manias commerce. On the other hand, the Rumanians have taken the town of Kishinev, capital of Bessarabia.
 In Finland the Red Guard every where is being defeated by the White Guard. or is voluntarily surrendering and laying down arms. The revolu- tionists. however, still hold Helsingfors.
 On the battle fronts, the most inn portant fighting has taken place in the northern Italian theater. Here the Austrians endeavored to evict the Ital- ians from new positions on Monte di Val Bella, in the Asiago plateau sector but were repulsed before they could reach the line of the defenders. Pre- viously the Italians by a quick stroke masterfully carried out, had pushed further forward their line in this re- zion to the head of the Telago valley The Austrian losses in the past few days fighting, not including the men made prisoner, are estimated at be- tween 5000 and 5000.
 Arthur Henderson, labor leader anG | former member of the British wal cabinet, has appealed to the govern, ment to meet the Amalgamated Society Of Engineers in conference to consider the operations of the man-power bill to which the engineers are opposed
 Mir Henderson strongly advised tn, workers, in the interest of the wal program. not to lay down their tools but he uttered a warning to both side in the controversy.

REGULATION RULES FOR INCOME TAX
 READY IN FEW DAYS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Reguations governing administration of the per- sonal and corporation income tax were completed today by the bureau of in ternal revenue and will be ready for distribution early next week Most of the provisions are the same as those covering the old income tax. The ques- ton of inventories is left open to be covered by a special regulation later.
 Among the more important new reg u'ations are those relating to dividends, depletion in the case of oil, gas and mining properties, and payments from depreciation and depletion reserves.
 "The ruling on dividends in sub stance" says an official memorandum on the regulation, "is that dividends paid during 1917 will be deemed to have been paid from 1917 earnings if such earnings during the year were greater than the dividends distributed, unless the corporations show that at the time of distribution of any par ticular dividends the earnings were not sufficient to cover.
 "A new ruling as an alternative to the existing one has been provided for | computing the amount necessary to re- turn capital invested in oil and gas wells. the rule being based upon an estimate of the units contained in the | property, and fee owners and leSSeeS are placed upon the same basis insofar as bonuses have actually been paid for leases.
 With regard to mining operations it is stated that in passing on values set up as of March l, 1915, as a basis for depletion, the department will give due weight to market quotations of capital stock as of that date and to values stated by the corporations in their capital stock returns.
 Tt is held that dividends paid out of depletion or depreciation reserves are in the nature of liquiration divi- dend and are return of capital to the stockholders and not taxable as in- Il come. Such dividends will not be SC regarded, however, unless the income and surplus have been first distributed and the fact that their capital has been reduced or partly returned is made public in their published state ments.
 Provision has also been made re- versing a previous ruling and holding as to stock returned to corporations upon reorganization for purposes of re sale to raise working capital, that the proceeds when sold shall not be treat ed as income.
 "A provision of former rulings that forgiven debts constitute income to tht debtor also has been stricken out -O@-

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The Bolshe- WIKI are in full control of the Russian colonial congress which opened here tonight with delegates present from all parts of the United States. Alex ander Berkman, who must go to prison tomorrow for opposing the selective draft law, was one of the leading fig ures.

 The Russian colonial congress, rep resenting the Russian people in Amer ica, protests against the unjust verdict in the cases of Alexander Berkman Emma Goldman, Baker and Kramer and demands that they be freed and returned to Russia" N. Horwitz one of the editors of Novy Mir, declared the resolution was too mild He insist ed that Berkman and others should be freed without deportation. He said they had right to live where they pleased.
 Another delegate thought Chayzin ot Kansas City should be included in the resolution.
 Brielo Uso of San Francisco demand ed that the conference seek the imme- diate liberation of Berkman and Emma Goldman who will begin tomorrow tC serve two year terms for conspiracy to obstruct the selective draft law.

 LONDON, Feb. 1.-(By the Associat cd Press).-"The submarine is held" Thus in four words Sir Erie Campbell Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, to- day summarized the results Of the first year of Germsny's unrestricted sub marine warfare, which began February l, year ago.
 A measure of its failure, he added to the correspondent, was found in the fact that the sinking of merchant ships now had been reduced to level lower than before Germany cast aside all re- straint.
 boat war;" said Sir Eric. "The subms- rine, restrained and unrestrained, has been met and has not proved invincible. l am inclined to think that now, since l made my last public statements we are sinking submarines as fast as Ger many can build them. My curves are all good, and 1 cannot foresee any way in which the situation can be changed except for the better.
 Not Percentage Of Whole
 "The sooner the better is now the allied navy's aim. But-you see there is still a but, and it is a very import ant one-we must have more ships if we are able to turn this German failure into a positive allied victory. The sub marine destruction of the worlds ton mage is not a big percentage of the whole, but the submarine destruction still exceeds the production of ships, and meantime the demands for tonnage are increasing by leaps and bounds.
 Americas participation in the war must inevitably make large demands on merchant shipping. Yet we must continue at the same time to keep up with the demands of the allied armies and with the vital necessities of the European civil population.
 Ships, and yet more ships is still the most important corollary of the war. How far can we rely on Amer ican effort for these ships? l have no doubt the United States will do its ut most, but 1 want to urge again the vital importance of its merchant ship ping program
 In No Way Help More
 When we first asked the United States for ships there was quick re- | sponse. In no way can the United States help more than in building ships. | Is she succeeding? Is she throwing her best brains and great energies into it? It is a worthy contribution to our cause. I hope she is.
 Meanwhile we shall not be idle. Great Britain is straining every re- source to launch every ton of which she is capable. We are at the present moment building merchant ships at q

 The authors of the memorandum then sent reply in which they pointed out the gravity of the internal situa- ton in Germany and assured Dr. Helf- ferich that a desperate remedy was necessary. They reinforced their argu- ment as to the seriousness of the inter- nal state of affairs by calling in nine experts, representing German finance, commerce, mining and agriculture.
 These experts were Waldemar Null Ter, president of the Dresden bank; Dr. Salomonsoht; director of the discount Gesellschaft; Paul Reusch, Prussian councillor of commerce.; Dr. Springo- rum, an iron and railroad magnate; Max Schinkel. president of the Ham, burg Norddeutsche bank; Herr Zuck- schwerdt, councillor of commerce of Magdeburg; Wilhelm von Finck, pres ident of the Munich bank; R.
