Wilson Speech Turns
Tide of Paris Opinion
Toward the President

Paris, March 6.-When President
Wilson returns to France he will find
a new era of good feeling awaiting
him. and consequently the workings
of the Peace Conference are likely
to progress faster.
Mr. Wilson's New York address
which today's papers reproduced in
full, has helped materially to produce
new attitude. Whereas before the
Presidents first visit only the radi-
cal press prepared to receive him with
acclaim. the conservative organs now
speak kindly of his ideas. and this
is true particularly of papers repre-
senting the governments views.
The French now feel they under
stand Mr.. Wilson better than he un-
derstands them. Taking things over
and digesting new ideas has helped
to promote a better understanding.
Putting things crudely. the French
papers now admit Wilson wasn't such
fool after ALL They have come
round to his way of thinking on many
subjects while they see he has adopted
theirs on others. Notably on the sub
ject of economic treatment of Ger
many and the other defeated coun-
tries the French view has become like
the American. namely, that the Peace
Conference must look forward rather
than backward, and that the defeat
ed enemies are all human.

WORLD
FAv0RS LEAGUE
Ebert Gary Declares Civil
lied Peoples Consider 1t
Only Peace Guarantee.

New York, March 6-The sentiment
for a league OF nations is universal
among the civilized peoples OF all
countries, was the statement OF
Judge Ebert II. Gary, chairman OF
the United States Steel Corporation,
at meeting of representatives of the
iron and steel industry here today,
The representatives accepted an in
vitation of the industrial board of the
Department of Labor to cooperate in
the endeavor to stabilize trade condi-
tions.
Peace has not yet been established
throughout the world. and this fact
more or less adversely affects indus
try" said Judge Gary. "Still We have
reason to expect an early settlement
OF most, IL not all, of the important
differences between the nations. A
league of nations will soon be agreed
upon for the sentiment in its favor is
well nigh universal among civilized
peoples
He said that the recent criticisms
made in speeches in Congress were
not to be understood as opposing a
practicable and workable agreement
between leading countries.

Navy DROPPED
JACK PICKFORD
Movie Actor Connected
with Graft Case, Turned
States Evidence.

The discharge from the navy OF John
c. Pickford, brother of Mary Pickford.
the movie star was because of
completely in the New York naval
graft scandal official records of the
Navy Department disclosed yesterday.
Pickford, according to the Navy De-
partment records, served as the GO

tons between Lieut.. Benjamin S. Da-
Wis and the rich young slackers Wild
sought bOmb-proof berths in the naval

court-martial, and. with other naval
officers, is now awaiting trial on fur
ther counts.
The record of the court-martiaI of
Davis shows that Pickford turned

eminent to round up the bribe takers.
The admissions Pickford made at the
court-martial, however. PROMPTED

BRITAIN TO FREE
IRISH PRISONERS
Bonar Law Announces in
Commons Decision to
Release Sim Feiners.

London, March 6.-The British
government has decided to release
the Irish political prisoners, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer Bonar Law
announced in the House of Com
mons today.
This action is regarded by politi-
cal observers as a dexterous coup
on the part of the British govern
ment. since it deprives the Sim
Feiners of one of their chief weap-
ons in the bitter agitation they have
carried on since conviction of the
Sim Fein members of Parliament.
The prisoners include some of the
men chosen by that body to repre-
sent the republic of Ireland" at the
Peace Conference.
Both Viscount French. the COVER
nor-general, and Chief Secretary
Edward Shortt have been favoring
release of the Irish prisoners as a
disarming and pacifying move, but
heretofore the British government
has been adamant.
Professor de Valera, one of the
prisoners, and a peace delegate"
who recently escaped mysteriously
from Lincoln prison is now expected
to- emerge from hiding.

DISCOVER Way
TO AVOID TAX
Husband and Wife, Each
with Income, May Escape
Obligation.

A loophole whereby families of
large income may avoid higher rates
of taxation by declaring their in
comes separately, was discovered in
the new revenue law yesterday. In
answer to queries regarding the sit
uation, Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Roper issued a ruling which
gives to husbands and wives having
separate incomes the advantage of
the lower rates.
Commissioner Roper's ruling fol-
lows:
I'm figuring up their income this
year, a husband and wife who have
income from separate sources may
each apply the lower rate. namely
per cent to the first $4,000 of
income subject to normal tax. The
higher rate of IL per cent applies to
the balance, in each case.
The net income of husband and
wife have always been considered
separately when figuring the surtax.
Under the new revenue law, the
normal tax rates. as we'll as the sur
tax rates, are applicable separately
to the net income of each individual.
The tax assessable on husband
and wife, in cases where either re-
ceived a large income in 1918, is af-
fected by the manner in which the
personal exemption is claimed.
Either may claim the exemption, or
they may divide it between them in
any manner they may choose; but
Jointly they may not claim more
than the amount allowable in their
particular case"

AGAINST
LEAGUE IS seen
Former Attorney General
Gregory Says Propaganda
Fund Exists.

big propaganda fund has been
raised to defeat the league of ma
tions in the United States, former
Attorney General Gregory declared
in an interview published yesterday.
His successor, A. Mitchell Palmer.
and the officials of the Department
of Justice later said they knew
nothing about il.
The only movement outside of
Congress designed to arouse senti-
ment against the tentative draft of
the league constitution of which
Senators opposed to the league have
heard is that being organized by
Henry A. wise Wood, of New York.
Mr. Wood is understood to be inter
ested in the organization of an
american Independence League"
the purpose of which will be to
educate people of the country on the
subject of a league of nations. that
those who will have to do with the
final framing of the constitution and
those whose prerogative IT will be
to ratify it will have an intelligent
public sentiment to guide them.
Gregory Charges Propaganda.
In the interview, former Attorney
NItItTdl 10 Ifpol Ato " ho H'
said that informa ton had come to
the Department of Justice showing a
propaganda fund for use against the
league was beirg subscribed, names
Of subscribers and methods by WHICH
II is being used.
When the interview was shown At
torney General Palmer yesterday he
said that was the first he had heard
Of 1t. II there was any such informa-
ton IN the department, he had not
been advised OF 1t.
other officials of the department
said that II such information had
reached the department, John Lord
Obrian, chief of the alien enemy di-
vision, would know it. Mr.. Obrian
said he had heard nothing of the re-
ported propaganda fund. One of his
chief assistants. whom he called in,
confirmed this statement.
Senators with whom the matter was
discussed were not inclined to place
any significance in Mr.. Gregory's
statement. Their attitude was that
Mr.. Gregory's assertion that there is
no question of the right of contrib
utors to the fund and the executors
of the fund working against the
league" removed any taint of wrong
doing against the opponents of the
proposed constitution Of the league.
