Pittsburgh. Dec. II. 49, Henry Clay

and multimillionaire. made his will,
disposing Of some S143 900 900 worth
OF property. in the early part Of 1915,
IL was lesrned here Yesterday.
With the benefit of four years war
profits. his properties have probably en-
HANGED in value twice as much as when
the will was made.
Four or five months must elapse be q
fore the final inventory Of the will is
completed. Charles A. Snyder, auditor
general, said.
The federal tax which is to be col o.
lected from the bequcsts was found to
be 2J per cent. which. by the terms
Of the will. must be deducted from the
residuary estate. II is almost an as
sured fact now the bequests will be re q
duced at least 30 per cent. although
the tax is to be collected only from the
net estate. that part of the estate not
beQueathed to charity or TO the public.
Pennsylvania tax will amount TO
approximately 50 900 900, while the
federal tax. according to conserva
tive estimate. will be $4,000, 600.

are bearing out recent unofficial dis
patches from Germany and Austria in
dieating those countries increasing
npeness for bOlshevism, it was learned
today. In fact, these adviees are un.
dorstOod to have impressed the peace
delegates to such an extent that there
Is a pronounced spirit Of leniencv TO-

For instance, the British viewpoint
on the questions of reparation and es.
adjustment Of Polish corridor -
from the Posen region to Danzig, so.
luton Of which has been among the
principal stumbling blocks to speedy
completion Of the peace treaty, has
been considerably modified.
The idea originally expressed by
Premier Lloyd George for Germany to
pay all the costs Of the war also has
been abandoned, as well as a subse-
qucnt claim for all damages resulting
from the war.
A high British authority today said
1t would be unwise now to attempt to
exact more from Germany than she
could conveniently Iay within the next
twenty or thirty years. An excessive
bill, he said, would simply fertilize the
