CALLED RIDICULOUS

Copenhagen, Jan. 3.-The Petrograd
Official Telegraph agency's report OF
the circumstances leading to the break
in the Russo German peace negotia-
lions at Brest -Litovsk. as received here
today, gives this version of happenings:
"On Friday last the Russian dele
gates replied to the Germans that tho
labor government would not accept the
German proposal. They were held to
be step backward and one likely to
render valueless the first German
statement wrung from the government.
The delegates said the German
statement mentions the so-called ex-
pressions of will as having appeared
from Poland. Lithuania and Cortland
The German government the
statement added, Knows this express
sion refers to that of a group of new
citizens and land owners In the occu-
pied districts while the people arc
under siege, and have nothing to say
Of matters. 1t Is ridiculous to talk Of
free expression Of the peoples will I'M
less the German government agrees 20
evacuate part Of the occupied districts
belonging to Russia while refusing to
evacuate from Poland and Lithuania.
This will never be accepted by the
Russian revolution"

pers throughout the country with daily
news features, has its headquarters.

suffered losses.
The library and reference depart
ment of the N. Il. A., containing thou
sands of valuable photographs and

the most deficient in this respect The
New England states in general and
New York made a poor showing.
The fighters of today are superior to
those of the civil war, the report states
for the percentage of physical exemp-
tons in the sixties was about SO, or 3
per cent more than today. The love OF
the foreigner for the land of his adop-
ton is shown by the fact that there
are more than 10000 aliens in the ma
tional army. They are volunteers, for
it was necessary for them to waive the
exemption granted all aliens before be-
ing accepted. A remarkable patriotic
fever existed in Oregon where the re-
port shows that for every 100 men
taken in the draft 154 volunteered. The
other states range down to IS volun-
teers for every 100 drafted.
The married men loom up in the new
army in greater force than was ex-
pected, more than $4,000 being in the
service.
In the compulsory service system,
the percentage Dec. l, of those who still
had not been registered, was .00026
Justice agents and police of the coun-
try made $50 arrests. OF these 1858

LEGISLATION PLANNED.

vital legislation is being prepared
by the war council and should be SUBJ
mitted to congress within a few days.
The matter of speed has at last
come home. Red tape is being elimi-
rated and every effort is being made
by the shipping board, army and navy
to fulfill the requirements OF the
house recommendation.
Secretary Of War Baker and other
officials foresee possible temporary
possibilities for German successes on
the western front, but apparently they
propose to cut down the American
training periods and send men faster
than the original schedule which
looked to at least four or five months
training on this side. The navy's share
in the new program will help in ac-
complishing destruction Of more Ger
man U-boats than ever before.
While last weeks tonnage destroyed
was large. as reported by London in
yesterdays United Press dispatches,
it was regarded here as one of the
crests Of ups and downs in U-boat
warfare. The December average was
gratifying; more and more U-boats
are constantly being bagged.

SENATE CONSIDERS
REVISED PLANS
FOR REVENUE
(By Associated P.ess)

WASHINGTON Nov. 422.-Revised
plans for raising revenue in accord
ance with estimates of government
peace time expenditures, as outlined
by Chairman Simmons In a proposal
submitted yesterday, were considered
today by the senate finance commit
tee. The plans provide for the rails
ing in 1919 Of $4,000. 100000 and in
1920 Of $4,000, 10000 by taxation
Members Of the committee expect
to reach decision today on the plans
as submitted by Chairman Simmons.
Republican members at a preliminary
discussion Of the Simmons plan yes
terday voiced vigorous opposition to
the portion of the proposal relating to
1920 taxation. Should the republicans
oppose the 1920 plan to the extent OF
blocking passage of the revenue bill
in the senate, democrats, according to
Chairman Simmons, will force incor-
poration in the bill of a straight eighty
percent. levy on war profits.
The Simmons plan. which 1t is said,
has been approved by Secretary Nc
Adoo, provides for retention in the
taxation program for next year of the
house rates on incomes and excess
profits with the exception of the six
percent. differential on undistributed
corporation earnings, elimination Of
the twenty percent on Injuries and re-
duction of special taxes from rates
contained in the house draft of the
bill.
The war profits tax would be abol-
ished in 1920 under the Simmons
plan, the excess profits schedule re-
duced about one-third from the rate
in the revised committee draft, and
the individual and corporation income
tax rates lowered to eight percent.
