'TThe regulations issued by the corn- missioner of internal revenue regard ing tax on liquors and wines are very stringent and carry penalties as pro- ytded in the War Revenue Act of 1913 as high as g, 900 fine and two years Imprisonment for violation such as failure to make up inventories and returns for same; and tor failure to have inventories, returns and taxes in the collectors office not later than March 26," said Collector James J. Walsh today. Anyone who secretes any liquors or wines, or fails to make full return of all stock on the prem ises, or in transit. or stored anywhere except in a dastiHery bonded ware house, will be subject to any or aiE of the penalties mentioned above; also to 200 per cent penalty on the taxes. evaded, and forfeiture or the liquors involved
 Collector Walsh also stated that there are no exemptions from hoor tax on liquors in the War Revenue BHl which became effective on Tues day morning, February 25 The tax on liquors bearing the dSsttlserg tax paid stamps and on liquors bottled at the dlstdHery is $3.2o 8 proof gallon On all rectified and cornpounded H.
 
 tax is $3.20 plus q rectified tax of Is cents a proof gallon. This latter class of goods includes ginger brandy, creme de -menthe, bftters and such so-called verTnouth as has been com pounded under q reedf1ed stamp. The Is cents rectdfied tax applies to retail dealers well as to rectihers and wholesalers.
 It is exceptionally rare to find in the Connecticut district any of Che imported bottled cord1a4s or liquors as come within that classification.
 The wines found in this disu4ct may generally be divided into two ciasses known as sour wines s1ch as c4aret Rhine wine, Ziufande1 and others which have an alcoholic content of less than If per cent and taxable at cents a wine gallon; and sweet wines which includes Sherries, ports Tokay, MuscateI and others whether domestic or imported containing an alcoholic content from IA to 21 per cent. which are taxable at 20 cents wine gallon The one exception to this latter class Is Virginia Dare wine which Is sweet but contains less than If per cent. of alcohol and is there fore taxable at 8 cents 6 wine gallon.

RHINELAND PRICES
 REMAIN HIGH

Coblenz, Feb. 5.-tCorrespondenc of The Associated Press)-It will be many years before prices in the Rhineland will fall to a pre-war level, according to German economists, view shared by officers of the Third Army of Occupation, who have been detailed to study the situation. Since the armistice was signed there has been a general increase in prices with but few exceptions to show a down. ward trend.
 In certain classes of the population there was a haZy notion that sudden fall in the prices of all necessaries would take place at the end of the war It appeared to be based on nothing more than an impression that conditions in the coming peace time would be practically identical with those before the war. and buyers or finished iron products such as ma chinerv, hardware, field and garden implements and steel wire have not placed their orders A conseQuence has been a hesitancy on the part of manufacturers to make the effort to reach their old marks of production, incidentally leaving unemployed thou sands Of discharged soldiers.
 Reasons given why lower prices are not to be expected are the in. crease in the cost of raw natcriafs. the higher wages demanded and the eight hour day.
 Advances in the prices Of coal. coke, steel, iron and lead were reg istered on the first of the year mak- ing 1t reasonably certain that still higher prices will be charged for ,ffn- ished products. On account of the scarcity of coal many factories re- main closed without sign of early reopening.

AUSTRIA'S UNION
 MYTH GERMANY
Vexed Question at Present Possible Naturalization
 of Country.

Paris, Monday, March 10-(By Ths Associated Press )-While the possi- ble naturalization of Austria has as yet not come before the Big Five in a formal way, 1t is being discussed here. Certain Socialistic elements ir Austria are strfr1ng hard to prsYers naturalization hsat there are other in- huences anxious to see it effected as it would give Austria protection sim liar to that enjoyed by Switzerland
 The proposed union of Austria with Germany is presenting many difficult ties, and German interests are en- deavoring to effect a union of Austria so that the German section may be annexed. Many of the members of the Entente are unfavorably disposed toward the naturalization of any part of Austria, as it is regarded as un- desirable and embarrassing to a coun- try seeking membership in the League of Nations. Switzerland's neutrality presents many problems to the Su- preme Council as her status would be uncertain, should she be admitted to the League and still retain her neg trality, as she desires.
 If that Is possible the Peace Con- ference will consider the neutranza- ton of the Austrian Tyrol, which would afford protection to the north ern Italian frontier.
