U.S.INCOME TAX
ExEMPTS NOBODY.
Every Person Who Had income
in 1919 Must Determine
Own Liability
MARCH IS LAST FILING DATE.
Free Advice In Doubtful Cases.
Severe Penalties In
Law.

Nobody is exempt from Income Tax.
An obligation is laid directly on the
shoulders of each citizen and resident
to consider his own case and to get his
return in on time if one is due.
With each return showing a tax due
a payment must accompany the return
in the full amount of the tax or at
least 0ne-Quarter of the tax.
All returns for 1919 must be filed on
or before March Is.
Must Show True Figures.
In figuring up his earnings for in
come tax purposes a person must take
into consideration all items of taxable
income, and each item itself must be
accurate in amount. Guesses and es-
Inmates must be avoided, for the re-
turn Is made under oath.
Everybody who had an income dur
ing 1919 must now determine whether
his or her net income was sufficient in
amount to require an Income Tax re-
turn. The best way to find out Is to
get a Form 1040A and follow the In
structions printed on 1t. That form
will serve as a reminder Of every item
Of income; and If return Is due, 1t
tells how to prepare and file it.
One Of the important points to keep
in mind Is that a persons net income
is found by computation prescribed
in the law, and that each item of in
come from every source must be con-
sidered, unless specifically exempted.
Another thing to remember Is that
the personal exemption allowed tax
payers by law has no relation whatever
to the requirement to file return. This
exemption is not to be considered until
a person has figured out his net in
come and determined whether it was
sufficient to require him to file re-
turn. Then, il return must be filed,
he should read carefully the instruc-
lions for claiming exemption, and COM
plete his return.
If in doubt on any point as to income
or deductions, person may secure
free advice and aid from the nearest
Internal Revenue office. Many banks
and trust companies are also furnish
ing similar service during banking
hours.
. Heavy Penalties In Law.
For failing to make return on time
the penalty Is a fine of not more than
$1,000 and an addition of % per cent
to the tax, IL any. For making false
OF fraudulent return the penalty Is q
fine Of not more than $4,000 or i'm
prisonment not exceeding one year, OF
both and, in addition, so per cent OF
the tax. There are other pc >alties fol
failing to pay tax when due, and fol
mderstatement of the tax through
negligence.
Many Sources Of Income.
Aside from what one may earn by
his services, there are many Other
sources of income. If he sold any
property during 1919 he must figure
out the gain realized. IL he rented
buildings, land. apartments or rooms
such rents must be considered taxa
BILE, and he may claim deductions fo
necessary expenses incidental TO rents

TRIUMpHAL ENTRY
 OF ATHENS MADE BY CONSTANTINE
Former King Returns Amid Cheers of Populace to,
 Reascend Greek Throne.

ATHENS, Dec 20.--Former King Constantine, recalled to the Greek throne by nationwide plebiscite which went overwhelmingly in his favor, made a triumph.l entry oi Athens yesterday.
 Arriving on board a Greek de- stroyer, which had met at sea the ship which brought him from Switz- erland. where he had been resid- ing since 1917 when the Allies fore ed his abdication on the ground that he was pro-German, Constantine was greted by cheering thousands who lined the streets through which he was escorted to the palace where Queen Sophia, the regent, awaited his coming to formally turn over the reigns of government.
 Meantime Greece faces the Allies displeasure, expressed by withdrawal of the French Minister, instructions to the British Minister to have nc official relations with Constantine and threatened withdrawal of allied financial support as well as possible territorial reprisals.
 The Greek cabinet admittedly is worried over the situation and by many 1t is considered possible that Constantine may again be forced to nbdicate despite the Greek peoples expressed preference for his rule.
 Allied warships which had been ir the harbor of Piraeus, Port Athens left prior to Constantine's arrival to avoid paying homage.
