The procedure Of the peace conference, now be-
ing discussed, will probably be as follows:
| l. A general agreement between the United
States and the entente begerents for the creation
of a league of nations, or similar machinery, to
enforce the terms of peace and preserve it.
2. The setting up of new independent states
growing out of the war.
g. The assessment of damages and inden-
mites and the manner of their payment.
4. The conclusion of peace treaties with the
central powers.
Lord Northcliffe, proprietor and editor of the
London Times and Daily Mail, in statement,
this week. said
"The British have found that the President has
no intention of challenging British sea power,
but that all he means is that in peace as well as in
war there shall be joint international control over
the rules of the sea calculated to insure free and
equal treatment for the shipping and trades Of
all nations, an ideal with which British opinion is
hardly likely to quarrel"
The situation in Berlin during the past two
weeks has been very disquieting to the delegates,
and unless the radicals are held under control by
the moderates it is liable to involve serious COM
plications at the peace table.
The Liebknecht element has been promising the
German masses reputation of all Indebtedness if
the Spartacus group wins In such case, there
could be no restoration, and none of the allies
could look for payment of war indemnity. It
may therefore become necessary for all the allies
to take steps in support of some stable govern
ment against the Bolshevik of course first CIV
ing the Ebert government chance to hold the
situation in check without outside aid.
Premier Lloyd George, of England, in state
ment the other day, responding to the general
outcry against the delay in British rehabilitation,
tsaid:
Although the fighting has stopped, the war is
not over. The German armies are not yet de-
modified. They are still very powerful No one
can tell what the Germans will do nor whether
they will agree to the terms of peace; especially
as regards reparation
"It is imperative that we maintain a strong
army on the Rhine. Impotence might lose in a
few weeks all that it has taken years of heroism
and sacrifice to gain"

AVIATORS PLANNING TO CROSS
ATLANTIC

General Brancker, of England who is devoting
his time to commercial aviation, asserts that
flight across the Atlantic probably will be accom-
plished in May. He also says that the time is
not far distant when airplanes will be as common
as automobiles are today.
The London Daily Express says that regular
a1rsh1p mail service between England and the
United States during the Summer of 1920 is re-
garded as certainty by airship builders.
Major F. Il. Sykes, chief of the English air
staff declares that the difficulties of transatlantic
hight are not so much endurance of the machine
or personnel as meteorology and wireless
He adds that the British government is looking
forward to weekly air mail service to India. A
route from Cape Colony to Cairo also is under
contemplation
General Sykes draws attention to the fact that
during the war, a German Zeppelin carried twelve
tons of ammunition from Bulgaria to East Africa.
and when the Zeppelin captain learned that the
force for which the ammunition was intended had
surrendered he returned safely, having been in
the air four days without landing.

SMOKERS CAUSE FIRE LOSS OF
\ SIS. 724.556 IN u. S. DURING 1918

Careless smokers and users of matches were
responsible for slightly over one-fourth Of the
property losses by fire in the United States during
1918, according to the Fire Marshals' Associ-
alton Of North America which held two days
conference in New York City last week. The
total loss of property was $oO,4ooO54, while that
caused through smoking and carelessness amount
ed to $15,724556.
Right on the heels Of this, reads in a
Washington report that 3o0O0,OOO,O00 cigarets
were produced in the United States last year
four times as many as were produced seven years
ago-and practically all will be used in this coun-
try, as few will be exported. One therefore won
ders, what will the harvest be?
One Of the speakers at the fire marshals' con-

PEACE CONFERENCE IN SESSION

The preliminary session of the peace confer
ence got under way at 3 p m, January II, Presi-
dent Wilson and the premiers of France, Great
Britain and Italy meeting in the chambers of the
French foreign ministry The first actual session
of the conference, however, was held the follow
ing day, January Is, this being officially desig-
mated as one of series of conversations for lay
ing the groundwork of the plan which will later
be presented to the formal assembly Of delegates
from all nations represented.
According to press reports there has been much
speculation as to whether the question of a
league of nations would receive early consider
alton whether it would be left until other press
ing matters had been disposed Of. President
of nations, this question being very close to his
heart He believes if this can be formally estab-
shed it will operate continuously as peace trib-
unal, and even such momentous questions as free
dom of the seas can be left to it.

the streets to depth of several inches and cover
ing miles of ticker tape protecting the telegraph

Figures were produced by the association show
ing that the United States leads the world in
property destruction by fire. the damage per capita
being 10 in this country, as compared with
40 cents in France, 80 cents in England, % cents
in Germany, Is cents in Italy and Austria IS
cents in Switzerland and II cents in Holland.
The president of the association reported that
90 per cent of the fire prevention orders issued
by states have been obeyed, and that the public
has made more progress in fire prevention during
the last two years than in the ten preceding years
He especially spoke of the need of enlisting the
aid of the press in educating people along this
line He said: Public sentiment is nodded in
printers ink; therefore, the more said in the

NATIONWIDE PROHIBITION ASSURED

At present writing, IS states have ratified the

for nationwide prohibition. Several states are
racing to be the thirty to act, thereby CIV
ing the necessary three-fourths vote. No doubt,

The distilling interests of the country, backed

the liquor interests will die hard.
Another hope of those opposing nationwide
prohibition was swept away on January 7, when
the United States Supreme Court sustained the
constitutionality of the Webb-Kenyon act which
forbids the shipment of liquor into dry territory.
Still another prop was knocked out from under

TO BUY BATTLEFIELDS
Member of French Chamber of Depu-

Paris.-The Rev. Father Lemire,
who sits in the chamber of deputies
from the department of the Nord,
moved his fellow members in the cham
Der by a speech proposing that an ave
nue. of trees be planted along the en-
tire battle front, which would serve
as a place of pilgrimage for those who
do not know where their dead fell.
He asked that the government buy
the battlefields and make a forest from
the North sea to the Vosges noun
tains.
Albert Lebrun, minister of the in
vaded regions, in replying for the gov
eminent, said thai every honor would
be done the dead. Cemeteries, he said,
would be laid out at points where the
fighting was heaviest and entire battle
fields would be transformed into IA

Mounsey; sone would land on the
deck of the Mounsey with broken
limbs and be washed overheard.
The reporSs to Gen. .Biddle, while
I was in London, told of the horrors
of the scene.
Stuck to the Job.
The MOunsey was veered off several
times by powerful blows from the
steel sides of the pounding Otranto.
One side near the stern was battered
in like an old tin can. Her engineer
signaled 20 Lieut.. Craven that the de-
stroyer could stand NJ more; she would
go down if another effort was made to
run alongside the big ship. But Craven
took the chances. He manipulated the
little ship with great skill and got
another hundred American soldier
boys. In all he saved about 600, 1eay-
ing only 357 to perish, and nearly all
these were lost in the effort to jump
from the big ship to the little de-
stroyer.
Craven landed the 600 in Belfast.
1t is true many of them died there
from the exposure and wounds, but the
600 were put ashore from the badly
battered destroyer. How he stored
away the 600 in the little fighting craft
is difficult for naval officers to explain.
but it was done.
Was F~earfully Battered.
A British admiral in discussing the
matter with mesin London just after
it occurred said few d~estroyers could
have stood the strain. He could only
account for her standing the pounding
against the sides of the Otranto by the
fact that her hull was cold riveted
and that she bent without the giving
away of the riyet heads.
l saw her afterward tied up in Bel
fast. She was fearfully bent in, like
a battered tin thing, but not torn open.
The heads of the rivets held.
1t was different with the Kashmere,
which I afterward saw in Glasgow.
Her bow was crushed in. The rivet
heads had given away and the plates
opened up. She had been hot riveted.
English naval officers are giving
study to this rivet question, and are
preparing a report to the admiralty
for future consideration in the build
ing of destroyers.
In the meantime all America owes
a debt of gratitude to Lieut.. Craven.
But for his pluck and s%eamanship not
a man from the Otranto would have
lived to tell the tale.

Scattered in Storm.

Before reaching British waters
north of Ireland, the American naval
vessels turned back or were scattered
in the storm. Our old ship was strug-
Cling and our captain was begging i'll
wireless messages to Capt. Davidson
of the Otranto for more sea room.
He feared going Oh the rocky shores
of North Ireland. Capt. Davidson
made no answer to repeated calls.
Then our wireless went down, our
boats were crushed, the smoking Dol
doors and ports were smashed in, the
galleys, dining saloon and many state
rooms were flooded. Only cold foods
we're obtainable. To make matters
worse, 400 soldier boys were down
with pneumonia. They Gere dying
like cattle in the public rooms and
on mattresses strewn about wherever
there was enclosed room. Medicines
were exhausted, and dead and dying
were all about.
In the meantime every ship put
about to save its own. heading into
the storm. The OtrantO and other
ships not needing our captains warn
ings were almost upon the rocks Of
Ireland. A veritable hurricane was
blowing. Waves broke entirely over
the ships.
The O%tranto, in trying TO get out of
its predicament, turned across the
bow of the Kashmere, another enOr-
nous old freighter crowded with
troops. The Kashmere's bow cut
through her sides and deep into her
engine room, stopping her engines and
cutting out her lighting system. She
became a broken log and was dashed
upon the rocky cliffs. No other ship
dared attempt assistance. Each was
struggling to save itself.

Then came the little destroyer Noun

submarine. She managed to run in

Figuring the Tax.

Before figuring the normal tax the
dividends are deducted as credits from
net income, together with the personal
exemption. AS in previous years, divi-
dends of domestic corporations are eX-
empt from normal tax when received
by the stakeholder.
The normal tax rates for citizens
and residents are as follows: On the
first $4,000 of net income in excess of
the credits the rate is 6 per cent on
any further taxable income the rate is
u per cent.
The surtax rates apply to net in
come of each individual in excess of
$1,000. The personal exemption and
the dividends are not deductible before
computing surtaX. In the east of re-
turns by husband and wife, the net
income of each is considered separate
ly in computing any surtax that may
be due. Form 1910 should be used for
making returns of net income exceed
ing $1,000, and the Instructions on that
form will show how to figure the SUR
