BABIES WILL EXENI)
 DADDIES FROM IA
Income Tax Rules Make Provisio2E Children Born During the Yeax@
 Birthday Important Date.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Babies boTS in 1918 will bring varying income ta74 exemptions to their parents, dependA' ing on the month of their birth. M child born in January, 1918, gives $20O exemption, in addition to the $2,OOO allowed married persons but if child was born in July, the parent is entitled to exemption of only S10c on the infants account. If the child was born in October the tax paying parent is allowed only $50 exemption, or one-fourth of the $200 normal ex- emption.
 This new policy established for in come taxes is explained by the ln- ternal revenue bureau as follows:
 If you were emitted to any of the foregoing, exemptions ($1,0OO for a single person, $2,000 for married person or head of a family and $2oo additional for each dependent chlld) during part of the year only, you may claim as many twelfths of the ex- emptions stated as there were months in such part of the year; any part of month may be counted as a month. ''
 This applies also to marriages and divorce or death figures as ineXorably as marriages or births in counting the income tax.
 This is a reversal of last years policy. Then the status of taxpayer on the last day of the year deter mined his personal exemptions.
 Under another regulation of the revenue bureau a person living in one community acting as the principal support of Q person living elsewhere may be considered the head of a fam fly and entitled to exemption of $2,000.

BUT FEW AMERICANS
 PRISONERS OF REDS
Majority of B Listed As Missing in Archangel
 Believed Dead.

With the American Forces in Northern Russia, Feb. 20 (By The Associated Press. )--While vague re- ports have reached the American forces on this front indicating that few American soldiers may be held captive at Vologda or Moscow, it ap- pears that the majority of the 35 Americans listed as missing in action since the beginning of the campaign must be counted as dead. Some of these were wounded men who became lost in the woods, while others were members of small attachments which were surrounded and are believed to have died fighting.
 One American captain, who com manded the force operating near Shenkursk, said that the IT men who were missing after that attack were undoubtedly dead, as the Bolsheviki apparently had conducted their cam- paign on the basis of making no pris- oners.
 Although the American casualties in the field during last December and in January were heavier than those for all the other months combined, the total losses in killed, died of wounds or disease, or missing, for the entire expedition up to today are only 192, of which number eight were officers. This is less than four per cent. of the forces involved.

CIVIL WAR BREWING
 IN CITY OF MUNICH
Attempted Murder of Herr Auer Act of Revenge
 For Eisner's Death.

London, Feb. 22.-The attempted assassination of Herr Auer, the Ba- Vaian minister of interior is inter- preted as an act of revenge for the killing of Premier Eisner, according to adVlceS from various German sources. The men were bitter Oppo- nents. Herr Auer is a majority so- cialist minister and had been looked upon as man likely to dsplace Herr Eisner as premier. The latter was the idol of the ultra radicals and also a defender of the soldiers and workmen's council, and was uncom- prOmisingly for the national assemb- ly.
 The political situation in Munich has been drifting rapidly to the point of an explosion and the ultra radicals, who comprised the independent so- cialistS and the Spartacans are sus- pected of uniting in a final desperate attempt to save their political con- trol.
 The immediate adjournment of the BaVarian Diet after the shooting was due to the fear that the holding of further sessions would aggravate the situation.
 The dispatch characterizes the con- UA'lOii0 ilo" plSNdlllil III WI uulcn aS virtually those of civil war
 Hundreds of civilians started to flee from Munich, the Exchange Tele- graph correspondent, adds, but this movement was stopped when the Spartacans occupied the railroad terminals
 The reports from this source state that the dictatorship of the workmen will be proclaimed and predict that the killing of Premier Eisner and the wounding of Minister of the In terior Auer will be avenged in a most frightful manner. Automobiles filled with armed Spartacans are reported rushing through the streets of Mu- nich.
 The advices state that Herr Ross haupter, the minister of war, was not killed, Gas reports from Weimar had stated) but was wounded during the shooting in the Diet and after wards placed under arrest by the Spartacans.
 Prince Joachim, youngest son of former Emperor William is said, con- trary to previous reports, to be still sn Munich.

There IS to De no factory drive this time, put ct per sonal canvass system is adopted, alter which a general appeal for funds Will be made. The canvass will De com Dleted hy next Tuesday evening, It IS hoped.
 The workers held q meeting last night and Rev. Dr. G. w. (. Hill, chairman of inc permanent Armenian relief committee, presided. He made a short. effective appeal and then called on Rev. Mr. Dell of ThOmp- sonVille, who spoke moro at length. He told of the courageous stand the ArmenianS had taken in refusing to bow to the Turks and the important role they had played during the war in saving the situation in the Near East. Rev, MT. Missirian spoke in behalf of the local Armenians He said there are $50 in New Britain, and 55 had served in the war. They have a permanent committee at work, but will cooperate in this movem ent all that they can.
 Mr. Rogers then outlined the plans of the campaign. He said that there is tH be no quota specified for New Britain, but it was hoped that every one would give at least one-fifth of what they had done for the United War Work campaign. He announced that there had already been $3,200 pledged. There are three subscrip- tions of $1. 900 each. He also said to let no one go by on the worn out pretext that they had subscribed to the Liberty loans, as the committee would accept Liberty bonds in lieu of cash. He gave out pledge cards and lists for the workers for the forth coming canvass.

TAXPAYERS OPEN WAR
 ON QUIGLEY'S REGIME
Weighed in Balance and Found Wanting" is
 Charge Made.

Tn an open letter published in the ly organized New Britain Taxpayers association opened war on Mayor Quigley today and invited him to answer 8 series of questions contained in the advertisement at the city meet ing on February 26.
 The association points to the fact that there has been no increase in the Hartford tax rate since 1914 while there has been an increase of GA per cent. in the local rate in the corres- bonding period. It also calls atten- ton to the fact that the Hartford building inspector receives $2,50O per annum while the local building in spector receives $2,750.
 It is recalled that Mayor Quigley promised an economical administra- ton in his first annual message to the common council and the assOcia- tion declares: You have been weighed in the balance and found wanting as an economist in city affairs"
 Mayor Quigley promised a new method of assessment in 1915 and the league inquires: How much atten- tion have you given in the past five years to bring about a more equitable assessment in this very important de- partme ?" It wants to know why he re-appointed assessors if he con- sidered them incompetent.
 There has been an increase of ap- proximateIy 100 per cent. in school expenditures since 1914 the associa- ton says, and now it is proposed to spend more.
