Washington. Oct. 23.---An
amendment to- tho revenue bill to
permit groups nj corporations
owned in whole .T I'm part by
tax payer or by another corpora
ton to make a "conSolidatcd re-
turn" In computing the income
tax was adopted by the senate fl
nance committees today. The
house bill contained specific
provision against such construc-
ton ~ regulations and required
each individual corporation to
make filing.
The amendment adopted by the
senate Is OF vital importance to
business generally as II Is not only
simplifcs the methods OF making
the returns. thereby tightening
the a,i,ilinist rati>e duties OF the
collector. but II Will enable
holding corporation. for instance
to make one return instead OF
half dozen or more where there
are u number of smaller corpora
tions affiliated with ii at present.
The committee struck out the pro.
hibitve section of the house bill. and
new section making II
upon such tax payers to
file a consolidated return. The text
OF the new section is as follows:
Consolidated Returns

lations to be prescribed by the com.

Health Officials
Have Conference
Large Failing on in Number of Cases
Reportcd-No Deaths mt
Hospital.

Health officials both OF the city and
state, will meet this morning in the
office of the state health com admission
err TO discuss the situation regarding
the influenza epidemic.
I In view of the fact that the spread
/ OF the disease is largely diminishing.
the proba bility of calling off the quar-
antine and re-establishing normal So
cial. religious and business conditions
may be favorably determined upon.
( Just 19o new cases were reported to
: the city health officials yesterday, and
seventeen deaths from pneumonia.
! According to the reports of the ply
sicians. the influenza epidemic is we'll
on the mend. the reports from the
John Marshall emergency hospital
yesterday were far the most promising
since the beginning Of the influenza
epidemic
Twenty new cases were admitted 10
the hospital yesterday. against thirty
! four discharged. bringing the tota
admitted to 7o4 and the total dis
charged to $50. There were NO deaths
among the patients yesterday.
One of the most encouraging signs
is the fact that the hospitals are dis
charging the patients almost twice as
fast ms they are admitting them. DR..
MilIers chart at his office in the hos
pital shows that there are only about
one half as many patients admitted
as there were one week ago. while
1.-THE discharges are over twice as many
as We're at the same time.
There are quite a number of chill
dren at the hospital who have SUI
ficicntly recovered to enable them to
be discharged, but tecause of the fact
that there are other cases of influenza
or pneumonia at their home IT is i'm
possible for Them TO return.
The doctors at the hospital are ask
! ing for volunteers who will take these
| little fellows into their homes. as they
have fully recovered. until it Is pos
sible for them to return TO their own
homes. Some OF the children have
been made orphans by the influenza,
! the epidemic taking. in most of the
cases the father or mother. while the
remaining member OF the family has
contracted the influenza. There are
some who have lest both parents

perience in other cities, he thinks that

which the government of the
United States Is associated as
belligcrent, with the suggestion
that. if those governments are
disposed To eject peace upon the
terms and principles indicated.
their military advisers and the
military advisers of the United
States be asked to submit TO the
governments associated against
Germany the necessary terms of
such an arnisifce as will fully
protect the interests OF the peo-
pies involved and ensure to the
associated governments the unre-
stricted power TO safeguard and
enforce the details of the peace
to which the German government
has agreed. provided they deem
such an arnlistice possible from

such terms of armistiee be sug-

GERMAN REPLY DOES
NOT SATISFY PARIS

Paris, Oct 23.--The French press
Judges the German reply to Presi-
ftfelfr Wilson unsatisfactory for these
main reasons:
l. Because Germany attempts to
bubble over the allied victory and
allied supremacy in the field.
2. Because Germany declines re-
sponsibility for the devastations which
cry TO heaven for reparation,
g. Because Germany, cgnicauy de-
MES the E-boat horrors
4. Because Germany pretends her
government is changed while as a
matter of fact the same men are in
control today that have been in con-
troll for four years.
Several papers insist that the en-
enys main purpose is to cause friC-
ton between the allies while gaining
time for the military retreat to a
shorter line.
The press points out. TOO, that all
the internal reforms of which the
prince of Baden speaks in his note
are subject to reputation in case
the military situation should change.
Germany" says lie Journal, of
fers words and promises when Will
son demands acts"
Gustave Perve thinks Germany
puts her thumbs down because the
people demand Immediate peace"
But the writer advises Germany to
send a man with a white flag to
Marshal Foch."
France Lihre, the nationalistic So
ciai organ, says:
Germany hopes 10 provoke labor
troubles among the allies"
LHumanite is pleased with the
fact that the peace conversation con-
tinues"
To sum up the impression OF the
French press is that the war will
continue until Germany is decisively
beaten. since otherwise she would
side-step responsibility.
