Tax ExemptiOn-The 446 Victory Notes are exempt
from all State and local taxes, Except estate and inheritance
taxes) and from NORMAL Federal income taxes.
The value of the exemption from the normal Federal in
come tax is indicated by the fact that a corporation bond
would have to yield about 516@6 to pay holders who are liable
to the full normal tax as high a return as the 1870 notes of
the Victory Liberty Loan.
The 3a% notes, into which the 439o notes may, at the
option of the holder, be converted, are exempt from ALL Fed
eral, State and local taxes, except estate and inheritance taxes.
! The value of this exemption to any holder is measured by
the rate of taxation which he pays. In the case of some indi-
viduals, the 3M% tax-free income is equivalent to a rate of
about 1870 from taxable bonds.
Corporations and individuals, to whom the question of
taxation is a vital matter, should apply for the pamphlet on
taxation issued by the Liberty Loan Committee for a full anal
ysis of all the features of the. new issue connected with the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-04-25

Amount of Issue-The Government is asking for $4,5O0,
100000. No over+subscrption viii be allotted.
Subscriptions up to $4,000 will be allotted in full. Alot-
ments on Subscriptions, in amounts over $4,000 are subject
to reduction on a graduated scale similar to that adopted in
the First Liberty Loan.
Observation-Disclosures Notes (both coupon and regis
tered) are issued in denominations of $50, 800, $500, 1000,
$4,000 and $4,000, and Registered only $4,000 and 100000.
Interest-Victory Notes bear interest at the rate of 4A95
annually, payable on December 18th and June 18th. No Sc
curity issued by the United States Government since the Civil
War has borne as high a rate of interest. And they are partly
taxexempt. IL
The 4M% notes are convertible, at the option of the
holder, into 3A% fully tax-exempt notes of the same issue
with interest payable on the same dates. The 3% notes are
similarly reconvertible into the 4A% notes, at any time dur
ing the life of the issues.

"Big Four" Threshing Out
Problems With Wilson Absent.
Presidents Withdrawal Due to
Pact of London Demands.
HOLDS SECRET TREATIES VOID
UItimatums Are Exchanged in
Fiume Annexation Row.
Meeting Today Expected To
Climax the Controversy.
BY FRED S. FERGUSON.

Paris, April 21.-The "big four" met
today to thresh out Italy's territorial
claims with President Wilson absent.
The presidents withdrawal from
the meeting is the result of italy bas-
ing her demands on the pact of Lon
don, which was consummated before
America entered the war and which
America regards as nullified along
with all other secret treaties.
Settlement of the italian claims
which has occupied the attention of
the "big four since Thursday. is re-
garded as vital inasmuch as virtual ul-
timatums are understood to have been
exchanged by the opposing factions.
Italy is stated unofficially to have
threatened to block the entire peace
settlement by Withdrawing from the
conference and holding the other al
lies to their agreement to sign no
separate" peace. This stand is said
to have been met by a counter threat
to exert economic pressure on Italy
by cutting off her credits, food and
coal.
Yesterdays session brought the
conferees no nearer to a settlement,
both sides staunchly maintaining their
previous position-WilSOn standing
firmly against awarding Fiume to
Italy; the Italians holding out for
complete possession of that seaport.
The meeting today was expected to
bring about the climax. as Premier
Orlando is scheduled to appear before
the chamber of deputies in Rome to-
morrow. Communications from Rome
are making the position of Orlando
and Foreign Minister Sonnino increas-
ingly difficult, as public sentiment
is insistent on acceptance of Italy's
entire annexationist program. With
Orlando attending today's session it
is doubtful if he can reach Rome by
tomorrow, SO he may ask postpone
of his SnaPch until "Wednesday.
The president was scheduled to meet
the other members of the big four

MAY DELAY PACT
Hun Failure To Send Empow'
cred Delegates Confusing.
Allies Awaiting Developments
With Considerable Concern.

Paris, April 21-The German
reply to the ultimatum of the
council of four that it will not
receive any German delegation MT
fully empowered to conduct and ne
gotiate peace is awaited anxiously in
peace conference circles. The lext
steps toward peace depend on the Ger
man reply.
Fears are felt in some quarters that
this unexpected development may af-
feet the program for the meeting
planned for Friday at Versailles. If
the German government in reply to
the ultimatum of the council, raises a
controversy regarding the status of
their delegates and the procedure 10
be followed, it is conceivable that the
arrival of their delegates at Versailles
must be postponed.
The announcement by Count Won
Brockdorff Rantzau, the German for
eign minister, that his government
would send delegates without full
powers to receive the peace terms and
transmit them to the German govern
ment has contributed greatly, the
newspapers say, toward an alliance
between France, Great Britain and
America. The French press insists
that negotiations looking toward such
an alliance are still in progress.

EXILE FOR KAISER
Report "Big Four" Has Agreed
on Wilhelmss Punishment.
Lansing and Japan Stumbling
Blocks in Trial.

Paris, April 21.-Exile was reported
today to have been agreed by the big
four" recently as the punishment to
be meted out to Wilhelm Hohenzol-
lern. This is said to have been de-
cided upon unanimously.
As a result, it is understood an ef-
fort will be made to bring the former
kaiser before an international tribunal
to be tried for the political offense of
violating Belgium neutrality rather
than attempting to eXtradite him from
Holland for criminal offenses COM
mitted against Belgium. In case he is
convicted, it was said to have been
agreed that exile, similar to that of
Napoleon, Will be the proper punish
ment.
Secretary Lansing. American mem
ber of the committee on responsible
ties Tor the war. is known to have
stood out against efforts TO try Will
helm, maintaining there is no existing
law under which this could be done
Japan supported Lansing and the COM
mittee remained deadlocked for sew
eral weeks.
The attitude of the japanese, how
ever, being based on their belief that
individual punishment of the former
kaiser would violate the precedent un-
der which their own emperor is held
to be fnfallible because of divine
right" the present plan is regarded as
at least partially meeting japanese
objections since Wilhelm could take
his "Sanctity" with him into exile.

Grove is IN AGAIN
This Time 14-Year-OId Boy
Shoots Up Train.
Lot Peice Caught by Crew and
Brought Here.

The little town of Grove, eighteen
miles northwest of Topeka, has come
into the public eye within the last
two weeks in a rather remarkabI
manner. Sunday morning Lot Peice,
14-year-old boy, shot three times at
an eastbound Union Pacific freight
train near Menoken, according to the
police, who took him into custody to-
day and turned him over to the state.
Members of the train crew captured
the boy and brought him to Topeka.
Two of the bullets, fired from a .22
caliber rifle. struck the box cars and
third entered a window of the
caboose, it was said. No one was hit
Authorities say Peice was paroled
from the reformatory last November
and has been working on a farm about
seven miles from Grove for the last
few months.
A few days ago William Smith, a
farmer living near Grove. was shot
and killed by H. G. Hogan, a Union
Pacific section foreman, and the same
afternoon Arthur Alexander, a negro,
made an alleged attack on Mrs. Eva
Mulinix, the wife of a young farmer
living three miles northwest of Grove.
Both men are awaiting trial.
