AUSTRIA TO MAKE
 LEVY ON WEALTH

Vienna, GA. P. Cor.) - The Aus trian government expects that it's plan for an enforced levy on wealth as prepared by Finance Minister Reisch for submission to the Ma tiona1 Assembly will yield from s. 100000, 900 to 12,oOO, ,O0O, 900 crowns.
 The Vienna press has been pre- dieting that it will bring to a crisis the relations between radical and conservative elements in the parlia- ment and country.
 Under it fortunes would be divided
 into two classes. Those which ex-
 isted before the war and those ac-
 quired during and after hosti1ities. The former would have an exemp-
 tion of 15 per cent. Fortunes of un-
 der 15, 900 crowns would be free from taxation.
 Beginning at that figure, however, a gradually increasing levy is pro- vided for, starting at per cent. and attaining a maximum of 65 per cent.
 On small fortunes an exemption of 1000 crowns for each member of the l family is made from the total. One ] third Of the levy is payable in cash 1 and the remainder in the interest | bearing third issue war bonds. Compulsory contribution of wealth | has been before the government in l one form or another ever since it's l formation, but nothing tangible has resulted. The capitalistic and bour- l geoise classes oppose it by every l means in their power. The financial proposals, together l with the reorganization of the army, l are generally thought to be the cru
 cial test of the coalition government.
 The latter question again brings the 1 two principal parties into direct con l f1ict.
 The Social Democrats advocate q l kind of national militia or vo1ks- 1 wehr, while the conservatives de- mand a standing regular army, com manded largely by officers of the old
 army.

kOlchak General Says
 He Fears Another War

not a Bolshevist, the General declared that Bolshevism is misunderstood here
 "Bolshevisnf as understood in Amer ica is not the Bolshevism of Russia In fact, they do not use the word in Russia; they use Red. And it is not the murdering, bomb throwing affair it was two years ago. That's done away with. They are trying now to fit it to practical use as a form of government and there have been many changes. As a matter of fact, as far as murdering went, the Ko1- chak forces had the Reds beat on that point. In V1adivostok alone, in three days, Rosenoff, Governor-Gen- eraI of the Far East under Seminoff caused the execution of 700 persons He escaped to the Japanese when ths Reds captured the town. Lucky for him."

would report a rule for it's immediate consideration" MT. Kitchin said.
 The bill was then reported out, MT. Kitchin told the House, "and I was curious to know what has become ot the assurance given to the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means by the Committee on Rules that if we did this, they would give us a rule" MT. Kitchin then told the House that since the committee re- ported out the first relief bill unani- mously a month ago. at least 10000 people have died in the very countries in which the bill was aimed to give relief.
 The relief it is proposed to give, on the suggestion of the United States Grain Corporation. could hardly be said to cost the country one penny, because the 5,0O0.000 barrels of flour which it is proposed to send to the famine stricken peoples of middle Europe has no market in America, and will soon spoil, unless used. And yet, for some reason still unexplain- desired to make this donation, has failed to act, although it has been several weeks since the first appeal for relief was made. This appeal has been made to all the world. In trans mitting it to the Board of Governors of the League of Red Cross Societies, Arthur J. Balfour, acting for the League of Nations, said: '"The ca tastrophe is of such unexampled mag nitude that no organization less pow erful than the League of Red Cross Societies seems adequate to cope with it. There can surely never be an occasion calling more instantly for action" Mr'. Balfour added that the calamity seems worse than the war itself"

New York, March 1S.-Eamon de Valera, President of Ireland's un- recognized "republic,'' was the central figure of the most widespread and wholesouled celebration of the feast day of his country's patron, St. Pat rick, that America has ever known. Thousands of men and women with the blood of the Gael coursing in their veins marched in parades the country over, but nowhere was there more enthusiasm or a heartier re- sponse than in this city.
 And in all the parades, meetings and church services, here and else where, the clarion note of Irish free dom rang. All this must have been a welcome sound to the tall, slim man with the lined face, who has striven for months to obtain recognition here of the ''government,'' he heads. For MT. de Valera feels that he has a mis- sion to perform, and he will remain in this country until it is achieved, It is to win the acceptance by the United States, Government and peo" pie, of Ireland as an independent, self sufficient Government.
 My position is comparable to that of Franklin and others of your great statesmen," said MT. de Valera when interviewed by a New York reporter in his suite of rooms at the Waldorf Astoria. ''FTor seven years they went about. Europe endea~oring to obtain for your newly formed country the recognition that was due it. Their courage did not fail Nor will mine fail.

House Is Holding Up
 Aid For Stricken Europe

Washington, March 1S-Not fewer than 10000 persons have died of want in the famine-stricken countries Of Europe while the House of Repre- sentatives has held up action On the request of relief for these stricken peoples, made several weeks ago, Representative Claude Kitchin charg- ed on the floor of the House of Rep resentatives the other day.
 Supplemented by Herbert c. Hoover, former Food Administrator, Carter Glass. then Secretary of the Treasury, asked Congress several weeks ago to exte7d aid to these stricken peoples. The Ways and Means Copnnittee agreed to recom- mend an Appropriation of s5o,0oo,- 900 for this purpose, but no action was ever taken. The responsibility, Democratic leaders in the House are charging, is with the Republican Steering committed" without whose approval nothing ever gets to the House calendar.
 Recently, the United States Grain Corporation advised Congress t-Gt it has on hand 5000, GOO barrels Of flour which is clear profit from dealing in and selling wheat to foreign coun- tries; that this flour cannot be dis posed of in the United States because it is made of the softer grains of wheat and is of an inferior quality to what American people demand, ther refore, there is no market for it at home. If not disposed of before warm weather comes, it will spoil, and it was proposed to Congress that this be substituted for the proposed 50,000,000 appropriation. The Ways and Means Committee amended the bill so that this might be done and i've were assured that if we did re- port it out, the Committee on Rules

New York, Mar. 18.-The world faces another great war with Russia, Germany and Japan arrayed against America, Great Britain and France in the opinion of Major-Gen. [. Thord Gray, lately commander of the First Storm Division in Admiral Kolchak's army, and the only foreigner in that army.
 Gen. Thord- Gray arrived in New York this week after having served since November, 1918, in Russia. Prior 10 that time he had been known in New York as chief military speaker of the United States Shipping Board. He went to Siberia as a Colonel with the Cana dian Expeditionary Force and in February, 1919, was trans ferred to the Russian army as direc- tor of organization in the Far East.
 During last winter he acted as dip lonatic representative at Vladivostok of Ataman Semionoff, successor to KoIchak. When the Reds took Vlad- ivostok on January 31 he was made prisoner, but was later released and returned to this country.
 ''It is the grave danger that Eng land America and France face,' he declared yesterday. Germany has what Russia needs: Russia has what Germany needs. There is no doubt that Japan is ready to join any com binn. She was in league with the monarchistic Russia. When Ger many gets on her feet she will set about to organize Russia. and once it is working effectively the combina- ton will laugh at the navies of Eng land and the United States. In fact plans for the invasion are already under way"
 Gen. Thord- Gray has some interest ing tales Of the Russian situation. For the monarchist or Kolchak forces he confessed that he bore away little respect.
 '"The only man in the outfit you could trust was Kolchak hi11self,' said Gen. Thord-Gray. 'fKoIchaE was surrounded by a lot of men o+ whom you couldn't say a good word Fraud graft, deceit, and petty jeal ousies were everywhere. The mos decent chap outside of Kolchak wa Semion off He at least knew wha he wanted and was not afraid to tel it''

Washington, March 12.-Although
the worlds ship tonnage is greater
than before the war, service rend-
cred is not more than one-half OF
what it was, ]. II. Rosseter, form
erly director of operations of the
shipping board, today told the sem
ate commerce committee. Delays
of all kinds have reduced material
ly the efficiency of the vessels, he
said, instancing strikes in many
countries.
The statement resulted from an
effort by Senator Fletcher, demo-
crat, Florida, to get an estlfate as
to what American tonnage would
be. The witness replied that a
figure tout of the sky would be
100000 lightweight tons.
Mr.. Rosseter strongly favored a
bargain sale" of all wooden ships
owned by the government at rate
of $50 a ton and without restric-
tons as to flag or trade. While
not fully agreeing with Senator
Nelson, republican, Minnesota,
that all government vessels below
5000 tons were rubbish" he said
the wooden craft were "a mistake
from every viewpoint"
The crying need of the American
merchant marine program, Mr..
Rosseter said, was for cargo craft
of the liner class, ships of 10000
tons with a speed of thirteen or
fourteen knots. These were need
ed, he said to establish guaranteed
return routes.
IF we are ever TO accomplish
our dream of making New York
instead of London the financial
center of the world" he said, "the
only way is to establish these regu-
lar lines"
Mr.. Rosseter agreed with Sena-
tor Nelson that funds derived from
sale of small wooden and steel
craft could we'll be used in adding
such new types to the existing
program.
