WANT ALLIED FORCES
FOR USE IN UKRAINE
Russian Political Representatives in Lon
don Set Forth Statement Giving
Their Views.

London, Feb "a Correspondence of
the Associated Press Use of only a
small volunteer force of allied troops to
maintain order in the Ukraine is request
ed by the representatives of Russian po-
litical organizations in London in a state
ment issued here purporting to set forth
their views.
The statement expressly declares that
except for the assistance of "a small al
lied detachment that could be brought
from the Black sea TO maintain order in
the Ukraine, the Russians ask for no al
lied troops at all, only for material Rus
STA is able and willing and much prefers
TO rehabilitate herself with her own
forces"
They also ask for war material. rifles
and especially aircraft and tanks. These,
they say, should be supplied to Russia's
own army comprising $500 men under
Admiral Kolchak, with headquarters at
Omsk, and another 100000 men under
the command of General Denil<ine, who
is reported to have just joined forces
with those of the Cossack leader on the
Don, General Kraznoff. The Russians
appeal also for moral allied support and
recognition. Bolshevism must be placed
outside the pale of society and declare
that such a pronouncement on the part
of the allies has never yet been made but
would have tremendous influence and i'm.
portance."
A plan of military operations aimed at
the bolshevik is suggested by the Rus
sian delegation. 1t proposes that the
forces of Admiral KOlchak and General
Deuikine be joined and aids that if this
were done three -fourths Of the task
would be accomplished and "the collapse
of bolshevism would be only a matter of
weeks The next step proposed would
be to sever the bolsheyik communications
between north and south Russia. The
Russian delegation pointed out that Gen.
eral Denikine is being assisted by the
allies from the Black sea, from which he
was only six hours distant and they as.
serted that as soon as he had enough
material he would move north and Join
Admiral Kolehak, and move toward
Tsaritsin, an important strategic center
in southeastern Russia.
They declare that the armies of Cen
eral Denikine and Admiral Kolchak are
large and well organized but are now
separated by the bolsheviki; and we are
asking that they shall be supported. The
physical force of bolsheyism can be cas-
lily and quickly dissipated in this fash

commissioner of internal revenue. These
returns are required Of employers, les
sees and mortgagers of real estate aud
tiducaries, and must include rents, sal
aries premiums and annuIties. Employ
ers are required TO make a separate re-
turn Of each payment Of $1,000 or more

state whether the recipient is single,
married or the head of a family.
Forms for filing income tax returns
NAV be obtained at the offices of collec-
tors of internal revenue. Announcement
of their date of distribution will be made
by collectors. Taxpayers whose net in
come for 1918 was less than $1,000 should
ask for form l404A. Those whose in
come was more than $1,000 Should ask
for form I044.
The man who this year is required TO
pay an income tax is urged by the bu
reau Of internal revenue to file his return
without delay as a means not only of
avoiding possible future embarrassment
TO himself, but as an aid to the govern
ment in the collection OF its war revenue.
1T must be remembered, said Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Daniel G..
Roper, that the revenue to be derived
under the current act is to be used to
defray the cost of a war that has
brought victory to the United States and
its allies. The estimated total is &c.
OOO,OO00O0. Compare this with the in
demnity that would have been demanded
by Germany had victory been on the
other side. The man who pays an in
come tax this year may DO so with
thankful heart, secure in the knowledge
that he is bearing only his just share Of
a common burden, which no loyal Amer
lean would eyade."

FRENCH AND ITALIANS
DO NOT FAVOR PLAN
Of Sinking the German Warships-Great
Britain Is Supported by American
Officers in Seeking Solution
of the Problem.

Paris, Feb "a tBy the Associated
Press While the supreme war council
has not discussed the disposition of sur
rendered German warships, the naval ex.
perts of the council have studied the sub
iect, British and American officers agree
ing that the proper solution of the ques-
ton will be to sink them in deep water.
French and Italian officers do not take
this view, and if the experts do not soon
reach an agreement the matter may be
taken up directly by the supreme war
council
The British navy has captured the
greater number of German vessels taken
during the war and the British delegates
feel they have a greater interest in the
determination of the question and they
have the weight of the opinion of Amer
lean experts with them. There are "a
German warships, aggregating half a
million tons, or an estimated building
cost Of $20O,00O000, at Scapa Flow.
These naval vessels cannot be used prof
itably in commerce, are too heavily en-.
gined and have no cargo space, fact
which has been proved. 1t has also been
demonstrated by American wreckers that
naval vessels cannot be broken up at a
profit.
The Italian government claims to have
broken up the famous old battleship
Duella at a profit, but no one else has
been able to do as well. The turrets and
side armorplates could not be utilized ex-
cepting at great expense, and even the
boilers and engines would be unsuitable
for commercial uses. 1t is pointed out
that it would be possible to detaeh the
navigating instruments and much brass
work, which would be done in any case,
but the recommendation of British and
American experts is that the hulls should
be sunk.
One naval expert of the peace commits
sion said to-day there were important
naval reasons for complete destruction
of the German ships. It had been sug
gested that they should be distributed
among the entente powers in proportion
to the maritime losses sustained by each.
On that basis the American share would
be absurdly small. Then, he said, the
distribution might involve disagreements
and leave a bad feeling between the

Its Work

Paris, Feb. "a by The Associated Press.
Present indications are that nothing
regarding the responsibility for the war,
beyond a declaration of general princi-
pies, win be included in the preliminary
treaty of peace. The special commission
considering the liability of either gov
ernments or individuals to punishment
has worked in great secrecy and has
heard arguments on every side of the
problem from experts in international
law, but it is gathered that the only re-
suit that can be expected in time for in
