GERMANS AFRAID
FOOD RATION IS
NOT SUFFICIENT
Not Cheerful as to Financial
Terms Presented at Brus-
sells Conference

Brussels, March ia monthly
ration for Germany of 10000 tons
of foodstuffs was fixed yesterday by
the allied commission which is in
this city comforting with German
delegation as to the turning over of
German merchant shipping and Ger
man-owned securities in payment
for food shipments. The Germans
observed that this ration was small
er than they had requested, and
were pessimistic as to the arrange
ment of satisfactory financial terms.
After Vice Admiral Roslyn
Wemyss, of Great Britain, chair
man of the allied delegation, had
presented the conditions decided
upon by the entente, the Germans
asked to be allowed to withdraw for
consultation. They then formed
three ub-committees to deal with
questions of finance, food supply and
mercantile marine. Last evening an
other plenary session was held,
Vice Admiral Wemyss saying at its
close that satisfactory progress was
being made.
In the evening the Germans asked
to be given the use of a telegraph
line to Weimar.

claring he would never vote for a
League of Nations which would give

Senator Albert B. Fall, of New Mex
leo, last night gave the Legislature
in joint session his opinion of the
League of Nations covenant. 1T is
not our business to put down q revo-
luton in Ireland, and / am frank to
say that the Irish have q right, un-
less the declaration of the United
States was lie, to rebel if they
please" he added. II never will vote
to send one of your sons or put him
in position where he may be sent
to prevent a revolution in Ireland"
Senator Fall said he gave full
credit to President Wilson for patriot
ism and sincerity, but he added, II
de not believe the ex-President of
Princeton University could teach
Washington, jefferson, Monroe, Lin
coin, Cleveland and Roosevelt any
thing. 1t seems to me if there is one
lesson American people have learned
from this war, it is that the United
States of America should continue
in, the path marked out for it by the
founders and perpetrators of this
nation, and should have nothing to
do with the broils of Balkan states

NEARLY 10000 TAX
RETURNS MADE in
THE CITY DISTRICT
Clerks Overwhelmed by Last
Hour Rush of Tax
payers

Long double lines of men ana wo-
men of every ase throng the cor
ridors of the Harrisburg postofiice
to-day. waiting to pay the tax on
their incomes of 1918. The lines
are longer to-day with last minute
taxpayers, than they have been al
any time within the past two weeks.
The offices opened early this
morning and the deputy collectors
have had no breathing periods at
any time during the day. More
than five hundred returns were COM
pleted by citizens Yesterday and il
is believed that more than that
number of persons will visit the two
offices of the collector to-day.
The collectors at the Office expect
to be kept busy until midnight. and
now are somewhat puzzled what
they will be compelled to do with
the people whom they fully expect
to be unable to serve until that time.
1t is est.Uuated that before the in
ternal revenue Office doors swing
shut tonight. there will be very few
less than ten thousand income tax
returns filed.
Boys and Girls Pay
Three deputy internal revenue
collectors have been in charge of
the work during the past several
weeks. but during 1his time they
have been assisted by number OF
other persons the number never
falling below a half dozen. The
three regular collectors are S. b.
Bacastow. Il. l.. Mcpherson and +.
p. Weiman.
Youths under twenty-one gears
of age made quite a throng in the
aggregation awaiting their turns in
filing returns. One youth, who ap-
peared to be little more than fifteen
years CT age. was wearily awaiting
his turn IN file Il return.
One youth, appearing to be little
more than fifteen years of age and
still wearing short "pants," was
wearily awaiting his turn to file a
return But males were not the
only youthful wage -earners who
were compelled to pay to Uncle
Sam a portion of their earnings.
Some girls, not more than of high
schoo lage, and with their hair still
hanging down their back, are among
the last minute visitors to the Of
fees.
The collectors urge that every

the blanks himself. If this is turn
ed in, even if the computations are
incorrect through honest mistakes,
it will save the taxpayer a fine.
