SEE REFUND IN LUXURY TAX
Problem Of Returning 81 500, 900
If Repeal Is Voted.

Washington; May 29.-Internal reve
nue. collectors face the problem of re-
funding more than $1,500,000 to tax
payers when the luxury tax is re-
pealed, unless congress comes to their
rescue by setting the repeal date ten
days or two weeks after the passage
of the repeating act. 1t will take ten
days after the repeal act becomes a
law to notify retailers to quit COL
lecting the tax, officials say. 1t is es-
timated that 100000 persons would
become entitled to refunds before the
work of halting collections could be
completed.

The terms of peace with Austria,
though not wholly completed, were
handed to the Austrian delegates. All
the territorial questions were included.
but certain economic arrangements
and the matter of reparation were left
for further consideration. 1t was
known, however, that Austria would
be required to pay about 2.500,00O,0O0
kroner indemnity, and that the pay
ment of like sum would be apportion-
ed among Hungary, Czecho-Slavakia.
Jugo-Slavia, Roumania, Poland and
Italy. The countries that formerly
formed parts of the Austro-Hunga-
rian empire have agreed to share in
the payment of indemnity, not as en-
emies Of the allies, but in recognition
of their liberation. They also will re-
deem proportionately their share of
the Austrian paper currency in circu-
lation within their boundaries. Italy
is included because Of her acquisition

that city only to relieve it's SUFFERING
inhabitants. and If recent reports from
there are reliable the relief is sadly

starving to death by the thousands.
New units of the British volunteer
army arrived at Archangel and the
transports that took them were ex-
pected to bring away the American
troops that have been serving there,
and whose return has been SO loudly
demanded. According to Maxim Gorky,
who was interviewed by Frazier Hunt,
the outside world cannot aid Russia;
bolshevism must run its course, bring
ing gradual starvation and paralysis Of
industries; great revolt will follow,
with reign of terror, and then there
will be constituent assembly in which
the peasants will assert their power
and form democracy
The Budapest communists claimed
to have defeated the forces of the
enemy" that were advancing on the
city, and assert that one Roumanian
regiment was almost wiped out. Bella

Budapest, is the revolutionary center
of the world and its orders must be
obeyed, and that the Hungarian revo-
luton is not proceeding well.
In the United States senate the bat
tie over the league of nations is pro-
ceeding merrily, and on Wednesday
the Democratic national committee
took a hand. It unanimously adopt
ed resolutions demanding that the
league covenant be ratified by the SEN
ate, which is controlled by the Repub-
| licans, and then its members indicated
| that the rejection of the covenant
| would not be unwelcome to them, be
| cause it would force the political is
| sue.
Reed of Missouri delivered in the
| senate a fierce denunciation of the
| league, in the course of which he said
the covenant meant the domination Of
| the white races by the black, yellow
and brown races, his appeal being
chiefly to the southern and far west
ern senators. Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas, also a Democrat, replied to
Reed and challenged him to join him
in resigning and seeking reelection
as test of the sentiment of their
states on the league question.
Secretary Daniels. appearing be-

the world. Last winter he told the con-
gressmen that even with a league Of
nations the United States should have
navy as large as Great Britain's.
Now he says we must show our conf
dence in the efficacy of the league by
at least postponing any plans for such
naval increase.

At home in Germany the counter
proposals seemed to please no one.
The conservative papers denounced
them as too yielding and the radical
press said they did not yield enough.
None had much hope of their sue
cess.
According to correspondents in Ger
many, the Germans intend to sign the
treaty, but also intend to evade its
terms in every way possible. This
would mean that the allies would be
compelled to keep under arms a large
force of collectors" The German
people, as a whole, say these corre-
spondents, have adopted the position
that they will pay for the war only
what is forced out of them. They are
more united in spirit than at any time
before for several years, and cannot
be brought to see that they are de-
feated. not a conquering people. In
other words, say these observers, Ger
many has not had enough whipping.

loss of thousands of lives from hun
ger and malnutrition. But the allied
council is ready for them on this point
with statistics that prove the infant
mortality in German cities would have
been kept at near normal If the dis
tribution of the country's milk supply
had been efficient, since the milk pro-
duction never was below 45 per cent
of the pre-war figures. Mortality in
hospitals, due to lack of rubber and
cotton, also was cited by the Germans.
To this the allies reply that the i'm
ports of rubber and cotton were much
in excess of hospital requirements, but
the authorities chose to devote these
supplies to military purposes, and for
this choice the allies cannot be held re-
sponsible.
These are the outstanding points In
the counter-proposals made by the
Huns. They object, of course, to in
nummerable other clauses in the
treaty, especially the economic provi-
sions, and offer many substitutions
and notifications. 1t is not likely that
the council of four will require many
days to digest the document and re-
ply to it. Then the Germans will be
required to sign the treaty within a
given time, presumably before June
10. If, Unexpectedly, they refuse to
sign, they will be given 72 hours no.
tice of the termination of the armistice
and then the blockade will be restored
with all its former rigidity and the
allied armies of occupation will ad-
vance farther into German territory.
No one pretends that the Germans
could offer serious armed resistance to
such movement. An indication of
the unyielding spirit of the allies was
given last week when American and
British troops were landed at Danzig
and their warships began to gather
there.
