THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

From the address which the presi-
dent made in Now York it was made
evident that he believes that the Deo-
pie OF this country are strongly back
Of the league of nations. He said II
did not need to be told, as I have been
told, that the people of the United
States would support this covenant.
] am an American and I knew they
would"
In spite Of this inside grip on the
feeling of the people at no time since
no has returned from Paris has he
attempted to explain to the people the
provisions of the proposed constitu-
ton. which IL has been shown could
not receive in It's present form the
approval Of two thirds of the senate
His address In New York was much
along the line of that made in Boston
and in both instances he sought to
impress upon his hearers and the
country the necessity of establishing
the league OF nations, out ne studi-
ousiy avoided going into a thorough
explanation of the reasons for the
different articles for everyone Of
which he had said before his return
that there was good and sufficient
reason.
II is not too much to believe that
the people OF this country had ex-
pected to learn what those reasons
were, that they had desired to have
any doubts in their minds cleared up
as to why the league in the proposed
form should be organized and that
they had expected that such explana-
tons would come from him in view
Ct the part that he has played and
will continue to play at the confer
ence.
There is no doubt about the fact
that he has made earnest appeals for
the support of the league in both OF
his public addresses but he has fail
ed to explain as TO why the proposed
form is the hest. For that reason his
address in New York was a disap-
pointment.

Under the Emperor Henry I it

since, except for d couple of decades
when Napoleon included it within
French bom taries. 1t has heen Tossed
alternately and in concert by counts,
ecclesiatics, electors, aldermen and
burgomeiseters, but mostly by eccles-
iastics, especially after the ninth CEN
fury, when the divine right slogan
was getting limbered up.
1T was an archbishop or two who
built the walls in the thirteenth CEN
tury, and others like him who carried
on the reconstruction of the great
Dome already mentioned, while many
editices of Gothic and subsequent de-
sign owe their inception to such
worthless. To a co-bishop is said to
belong the credit of holding up the
aldermen when, as late as 1871, they
were bent on allowing stones to be
taken from the amphitheater for road
repairs. This wasn't the first time
the Circus MaXims had been mis-
taken for a rock quarry though; the
monks of Himerode built their house
adjacent to it out of materials which
the Roman works supplied.
Germans, AuStrlanS and French
have all 'clanked the sabre in Treves.

Vienna ceded it to Prussia, and
Prussian it has remained ever since.

Fiduciary returns are required of
persons or corporations holding in
trust the estate of another person, the
net income Of which equals or exceeds
$1,000 or s., 600 according to the mari
cal status of the beneficiary.
FiduciarieS are subject to all the
provisions of the law which apply to
individuals who are required to make
return Of income, and must state un-
der oath that they have sufficient
knowledge OF the affairs of the persons
for whom they act to enable them to
make such returns. A return filed by
one Of two or more fiduciaries in the
office Of the Collector of Internal Rev
enue in which the fiduciary resides is
sufficient to meet the requirements of
the law.
The duly appointed guardian of a
minor, or the CONSERVATION of the estate
OF an incompetent person, is required
TO render a personal return in behalf
OF his ward the same conditions as
would the ward, if competent to act for
himself. In doing so the personal ex-
emption to which the ward is entitled
may be claimed.
Trustees having charge of an estate
the net income of which is regularly
distributed among the beneficiaries,
are required to make a return if any of
the benefciaries is single and his net
income from the estate equals or ex4
ceds $1,000 or if all of the beneli-
Charles are married and the net in
come Of any one equals or exceeds
81, coo.
Partnerships as such are not subject
to the income tax, each partner being
liable to the tax in his individual ca
nacity. \ partnership, however, is
required TO make a return for the tax
able year, stating specifically the items
of its gross income and the deductions
allowed. Each partner must include
in his individual return his distribu-
tive share of the partnerships net in
come whether or not it has been ac-
tuaIly paid. Where the result of part
nership operation is not less, such loss
is Invisible between the partners in
the same proportion as net income
would have been divisihle, and may be
deducted by the Individual partners in
their return of income. A partnership
return should be computed on the
same basis and III the same manner as
an individual return.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The condition of the country roads
makes it certain that spring cannot be
more than around the corner.
The man on the corner says: There
used to be a time when Norwich fans
were all excited about this time over
the new men signed for the ball team.
No one will blame Senator Cham
terlain if he is among the absentees
at the reception when the president
and his party again returns from
France.
We are now being told that there
has been much exaggeration about
the conditions at Brest. 1t is very
likely that such is true of ether COM
plants for as one has said, there S
great competition in story telling.
While there has been much talk as
to whether President Wilson would
be a candidate for a third term, none
of those who feel that he will not, at
tribute it to the fact that it would be
breaking a, precedent.
March from every indication is
making a strenuous effort to break
down its reputation without anyone
attributing it to the adoption of the
prohibition amendment.
In view of his experience in con-
nection with the work the appoint
ment of Herbert Hoover to have
charge of administering the 500, 000.-
600 relief fund in Europe was logica
one.
Those who are opposed to distrib.
uting the German warships are de-
daring that they are useless, bu'
France does not take that view O
them.
From its actions thus far March
gives indications of desiring to cult
vate the good opinion of everyone,
Conditions up in Massachusetts
make it evident that deportations can
not be started any too soor. Thu
country would quickly grow better
from the absence Of such people.
When consideration is given tC.wha
1t means to be talked to death, VIVA
lot of sympathy will go out to tn
members of the late congress.
One thing is certain, the militant
cannot stage another demonstration
for the president until he reaches tn
other side.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
TREVES,

TreVes, where many American avia-
tors with the army of occupation in
Germany have their headquarters is
described breeZfly in colloGuial lang
uage in Cent SOixante Six a mini
allure newspaper published by mem
bers of the 166th Aero Squadron, A
E. +. Extracts from the article are
contained i'll a bulletin of the National
Geographic Society, sent out from it's
Washington headquarters, The ex-
tracts follows:
The very name of the place
(Treves, or Trier, in GERMANY takes
us back to prehistoric times, far past
the days which are so impressiVely
memclIdl;zed by the Roman ruin and
Gothic pile to the day to which ira
dition assigns the origin of the Ire
verii tribe, ascribing it to the person
Of one Trebeta, stepSon of the Eis-
syrian Semiramis who liked his moth
eF-in-law'S society SO little that he
relieved himself of it by taking d
exit from the land of his birth and
trekking northward to that of Wotan
and Thor.
In the valley of the MoselIe he
stopped, and here history finds his
descendants waiting to be conquered
by the Romans and put on the map in
authentic Roman style.
| That the Romans were here one
could not doubt after a visit to the
| vicinity. There is the great Circus
| Maximus, second only in size to the
| Coliseum itself; two sets of baths, one
| of which goes by the name of Kaiser
Palast, probably because it looks so
much more like palace than a
plunge; the Port Nigra, or gate of
| entrance to what were once massive
defensive works at the eastern side OF
| the city; and portions of the great
structures in present use such as the
imposing cathedral known as the
Dome, and the stately Basilica re-
paired during recent times and dedi-

I'VE imagine that after the Roman
days when the country was finally
overrun by the Franks and the. Latin

that real estate must have been some

at a standstiu for some time, from the

about Treves until after Charlmagne's

MEXICO CHANGES POLICY,

If it is based upon the real facts.
the announcement which has been
made at a banquet American news
paper men in Mexico City, to the eff
feet that the Mexican government
will pay all Just damages resulting
from the revolution, liquidate all of
its foreign debts and amend its con-
hscatory oil law, is most gratifying.
1t indicates a change OF sentiment
and one that cannot fail to be re-
sarded as being in the right direction
calculated to bring about better con-
Gitions in Mexico and better relations
between Mexico and other countries.
BY the attitude which the Mexican
government has taken it has been re-
sponsible for the distrust which has
been manifested toward it. Had it
shown the disposition some time ago
which is disclosed by this latest an
nouneement, it would have gained
much for its own good. but It was
only natural that uncertainty should
exist when it indicated that it was
planned to cancel all concessions re-
CARELESS of the expenditures which
had been made in the development If
mining, oil and ranch property.
1t can be appreciated that Mexico
should want TO look after the inter
ests of the nation, for it has suffered
enough from the lack of it in the
past, but TO do it in the way it was
proposed showed poor judgment as its
new announcement now shows that il
has realized
lust how the Mexican government
has been brought about to see the
error of its way would be an inter
esting story, but the real satisfaction
lies in the fact that it is going t. turn
over new leaf, although it is highly
probable that its need for outside fl
rancial assistance had much to dc
with it,

WOULD BE UNJUST.

Probably no one is in better touch
with the circumstances surrounding
those who have been arrested, tried
and convicted under the espionage
act than Attorney General Gregory,
who recently resigned that Office and
in doing so made some recommenda-
tons which will doubtless receive
careful attention before any attempt
is made to comply with the requests
which are being made in behalf o.
those under sentence whose pardon is
being sought on the ground that they
are political prisoners.
1t is not a fact that the attorney
general advocated that there should
be no executive clemency exercised
for he did refer TO certain cases
where it might be followed without
danger, but he was outspoken against
any general resort to it in such cases.
He opposed any general amnesty or
indiscriminate pardons because, as he
said, from his thorough knowledge of
the cases and the review which he
had made of them, he was conViEced
that "in most cases of conviction sub
stantial justice was done to the de-
PENDANTS by the conduct of the trial,
the character of the evidence and the
sentences imposed"
There can be little reason to be
Iieve but what much reliance will be
placed upon the opinion of the attor-
ney general in responding 10 the cf-
forts which have been or may be
made to get free those whose conduct
has been such during the time when
the country was actively at war as
to make it necessary to punish them
for their acts. The injustice of any
such action as pardoning those who
were striking the nation in the back
while its young men were making the
supreme sacrifice across the water
or giving encouragement to those
who We're taking those lives can be
fully appreciated.

that this is assured by the appoint
rnent of Mr., Woods.

The unemployment situation In this
country is of vital Importance. 1t
extends not only to the soldiers who
are returning but to a great many
besides. The change from the busy
hum of industry engaged in getting
out war orders back to the produce
ton of peace time goods Is underway
throughout the country but there is
certainly opportunity for facilitating
the return of the soldiers and sailors,
those who gave up their jobs to serve
the nation for some pay and make
great sacrifices, to their former jobs
or others which will provide them
with as good employment. The quick
err such labor, or for that matter all
those out of employment, can BE- re-
turned to work The better it is going
