TEUT0NS PLEASED.
Especially in Austria People Rejoice over
Ukrainian Peace.

London, Feb. ll.--Joy bells were rung
in Berlin and there were rejoicings at
Vienna over the conclusion of a separate
peace with the Kiev Rada, while Leon
Trotsky, the Bolshevik foreign minister,
was still disputing the right of that
Rada to represent Ukraine at the Brest
Litovsk negotiations, and while Ukraine
is still torn by civil war.
Nothing is yet disclosed concerning the
terms OF peace thus secretly arranged,
but they are supposed to include the
eession of the Ruthenian portion OF Ga
licia TO Ukraine in return for some sort
of Austrian protectorate, and il is pretty
safe to assume that trade and economic
relations will enter largely into the new
peace arrangement.
II is also rumored that the central
powers have made an offer of military
assistance to the Kev Rada in overcom-
ing the Bolshevik INVASION How far that
invasion has been successful, or whether
the Kiev Rada, representing the moder-
ate socialists, will be able firmly to es-
tablsh its authority against the khar-
koy Rada, representing the Bolsheviki, is
unknown,
There is little news of the progress of
the fighting in Ukraine, and so far the
reported capture of the town of Mohilev
and of Ensign krylenko, the Bolshevik
commander -in-chief, rests entirely upon
German reports; no confirmation is forth
coming from any Russian or independent
source.
One of the first results Of the new
peace has been German ultimatum
aimed at forcing Rumania to take sim
liar step, and clearly German policy is |
being devoted to using peace with the |
Ukraine as lever to bring pressure to |
bear on Trotsky.
The signing of peace has been received |
with greater enthusiasm at Vienna than
at Berlin. This is due to the fact that
it removes the menace to Austria's from
tier and raises expectations of relief of
The food situation from Ukraine's grain
reserves.

EXTEND INCOME TAX TIME.
April Instead Of March Now Set BY
Revenue Commissioner Roper.

Washington, Feb Extension Of
the time for filing income and excess
profits returns from March to April
was announced yesterday by Internal
Revenue Commissioner Roper. This rul-
ing applies also to reports ON payments
of more than $500 during the year to be
made by employers and business enter
prises, and covers incomes both above
and below $4,000, and corporation in
comes.
Delay in the preparation of blank
forms and regulations was the principal
cause for the postponement. Forms have
not yet been issued for excess profits re-
turns of three classes-individual, part
nership and corporations; for income re-
turns by trustees or fiduciaries; and for
partnership income returns. These are
now promised for next week All other
forms have been distributed, including
those for individual incomes of the
classes above and below $1,000, corpora
tion incomes, and reports on payments of
more than $500 or the so-called "infor-
nation at the source" The extension of
time to April applies to returns by cor
porations doing business on fiscal wear
basis. Originally they were required to
report within 90 days after the end of
their fiscal year; this was extended to
Feb. !, and later to March /.

ALSO TO RATEMAKING

Secretary McAdoo Wants to

Finance

Washington, Feb. Indications OF
opposition TO two cardinal features of
the administration railroad bill are not
lacking in both branches of Congress.
One feature which radical members OPP
pose is the guaranteeing return of the
railroad properties TO private control at
some period after the war. The second
feature to which there is objection is
that giving the president rate making
power. Senator Cummins OF Iowa, in
a minority report, says the guaranty
to railroads, as proposed, is too large,
promising a return of more than eight
per cent.

One important result of the licensing

AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
Italian Aviator Drove Through Flaming
Balloon.

Rome, Feb. l2.--(Correspondent of the
Associated Press How an aviator feels
when he drives an airplane through a
flaming observation balloon is described
by Giovanni Anclletto, an Italian air.
man who demolished an Austrian bal
loon in that fashion in an air conflict at
Rusti9ne.
The balloon was guarded by three
Austrian chaser airplanes These were
engaged by three Italian fighting ma
chimes while Ancilletto dived straight at
the balloon, at which he opened fire with
incendiary bullets at range of about
twenty yards. All the same moment he
suddenly realized the danger he was in,
for it was clearly impossible for him to
avoid collision with the now flaming bal
loom
Il thought TO myself, it means death
he says in his report. Il closed my eyes
and waited. Barely a second passed be-
fore | felt shock; there was sound
of tearing, flames rushed across my face.
] opened my eyes and found myself a few
dozen yards from the ground.
Il started my engines, steadied the
machine, glanced at the wings in fear
that their support would fail me. They
were trembling as though broken and
were carrying some tattered pieces of
stuff. But they held; the propeller
turned, and the airplane, gradually gain
ing speed, glided toward the Italian
lines. A few minutes later | alighted
at my camp"
Examination of the machine showed
that it had passed clean through the
burning balloon. In the shock of COLI
sion the wings had actually been broken
in the middle, but were held together by
the support of the machine gun.
