TEUTONS ACCEPT RUSSIAN PROPOSALS
RUSSIA, HOWEVER, MUST GET OTHER ALLIES TO ACCEPT
 THEM. STATES COUNT.
RETURN GERMAN COLONIES
Russian Delegates Asked For 1oDay Recess in the Negotiations in Or der To Put Proposal Before
 Its Allies.

Petrograd-The central powers arc ready to make an immediate general peace without compulsory annexations and without contributions.
 This is their answer through Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, made on Christmas Day at Brest-Litovsk to the Russian propo- sals, which they are ready to accept in most particulars as the basis of negotiations. They insist, however, that the central powers cannot bind themselves one-sidedly to such condi- tions without a guarantee that the al lies Of Russia will recognize and fulfill these conditions.
 The Russian delegates asked for I0-day recess in the negotiations in order to put the proposal before Rus, sia's allies.
 Count Czernin declared that the cen tral powers believed that the basic principles uttered by the Russian del egates could be the basis of such a peace. He said they shared Russian condemnation of a continuation of the war for the sake of conquest. It is necessary to indicate most clearly, however. the count added, that the Russian proposals could be realized only in the event that all belligerents obligated themselves to adhere to the terms of such peace.
 The Austro-Hungarian foreign min ister declared the central powers did not intend to forcibly annex territo- ries seized during the war, nor to deprive nations of political independ- ence lost in tle war.
 The question of subjection of na- tionaliies who have not political in- dependence 10 another country can not be solved internationally, and must be met by each government and it's people in the manner established by the constitution of that govern. nent The protection of the right of minorities is an essential part of the right of peoples to self-de1nition. In the event of a mutual renunciation of indemnifcation or War costs and war damages. Count Czernin continued, each belligerent would have to bear only the expense incurred for it's sub Jects made prisoner and to pay for damage caused in it's own territory to property of civilian subjects of an enemy country by violations of inter- national law.
 The creation of a special fund for that purpose, as suggested by Russia. could he discussed only in the event that the other belligerents join in the peace negotiations within certain time.
 The chairman of the Russian dele gation expressed qualification at Ger man willingness to make peace with. out annexations and indemnities and with the self-defnition of the peoples. He demurred, however, at the German statement on self-deinition as being incomplete lie said the war could not end without the establishment of the violated rights of little and op- pressed nationallties and Russia would insist on guarantees that their lawful rights would be protected in a gen. eraI peace treaty.

Washin0ton.-"Must I pay an in- come tax?"
 hat is the question that thousands of Americans are asking. The answer, in a general way, lies in this state ment:
 Every unmarried person having a net income of $1,000 or more. and ev cry married person or head of a fam fly having an income of 5000 or more must file return. These returns must be in the hands of the collector of in ternal revenue in the district in which the taxpayer lives or has his principal place of business between January l and March 1, 1918.
 The man who thinks to evade this tax is making a serious error. Revenue officials will be in every county to check returns. Failure to make cor rect return within the time specified involves heavy penalties.
 "Net income" means gross income less certain deductions provided for by the act. The law defines income as profit. gain, wages, salary, commis- sions, money or its equivalent from professions. vacations, commerce, trade, rents, sales and dealings in prop erty. real and personal. and interest from investments except interest from government bonds, or state, municipal township or county bonds. Incomes from service as guardian, trustee or executor; from dividends, pensions, royalties, or patents, or oil and gas wells. coal land. etc. are taxable.

Normal Rate Is 2 Per Cent.

The uOTI1dI rate OI tux IS per CeIll on net incomes above the amount of exemptions, which is 5000 in the case of married person or head of fam fly and S1 000 in the case of a single person. married person or head of a family is allowed an additional ex- emption of S200 for each dependant child if under eighteen years of age or incapable of self-support because defective The taxpayer is considered to be the head of a family if he is actually supporting one or more per sons closely connected with him by blood relationship or relationship by marriage. or if his duty to support such person is based on some moral or legal obligation.
 Debts ascertained to be worthless and charged off within the year and taxes paid except income taxes and those assessed against local benefits are deductible. These and other points of the income tax section of the war revenue act will be fully explained by revenue officers who will visit every county in the United States between January 2 and March l to assist tax payers in making out their returns.
 Officers to Visit Every Locality.
 Notice of their arrival in each local Ity will be given in advance through the press, banks and post offices. They will be supplied with income tax forms copies of which may be obtained also from collectors of internal revenue.
 The bureau of internal revenue is seeking to impress upon persons sub- feet to the tax the fact that failure to see this official in no way relieves them of the duty imposed by law to file their returns within the time specf- fed.
 The government is not required to seek the taxpayer The taxpayer is required to seek the government. Per sons in doubt as to whether they are subject to the tax or not or as to how to make out their returns will readily understand, therefore, that a visit to this official may ne5n the avoidance of later difficulties. /
 The penalty for failure to make the Pgturn on time is a fine of not less than s20 nor more than S1,000, and in addition 50 per cent of the amount of the tax due. For making a false or fraudulent return, the penalty is fine not to exceed $2000 or not ex- ceeding one years Imprisonment, or both. in the discretion of the court, and in addition 100 per cent of the tax evaded.
