SOVIET AUTHORITIES
LOSING CONTROL OF
RUSSIAN SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press)


STOCKHOLM, March Is - Russian
Bolshevik authorities seem to be los
ing control of the soviet troops, it is
said in dispatches received here from
Finland and Esthonia. These mes
sages for the most part confused and
unreliable, were pouring into this city
yesterday and last night
Artillery fire from the fortress Of
Kronstadt was directed yesterday
along the southern coast Of the Gulf
of Finland between Oranienbaum and
Petrograd. Bolshevik artillerymen in
Krusnaya Gorka shelled and destroyed
the lighthouse at Tollbaaken, off Kron-
stadt, during the day.
A man who had just arrived from
Kronstadt was interviewed on Sunday
night, and he emphatically denied Boil
shevik reports that some of the kron-
stadt forts had been captured by the
Bolsheviki. He said the revolution
ary leadership was wholly in the
hands of laborers, and he declared the
fieht for the fortress would be long
one as the garrison Of kronstadt was
relying on getting foodstuffs from the
American Red Cross station at Whore,
Finland.
Refugees reaching Stockholm from
Petrograd say that the streets of that
city are strongly patrolled by soviet
troops, and they declare that the or
binary Bolsheviki soldiers are no long
er to be trusted.
LONDON, March 15-Disturbances
are reported 20 be occurring hourly
in Moscow and the soviet authorities
in rounding up sympathizers with the
revolutionary movement have massa-
cred several hundred persons with
machine guns. says a Helsingfors dis
patch to the Central News today. The
majority Of the reports regarding the
situation in Moscow are most gloomy,
the dispatch adds.
CONsTANTINOPLE, March IS
Russian soviet cavalry, part of the
forces which recently occupied Tiflis,
the Georgian capital. has been re-
called to the Kuban region, on the
eastern shore of the Black Sea, where
insurrectionists hold the towns Of
Aramvir and Turgovis. The Bolshe-
vik submarines have appea red in the
Black Sea
Relations between the Turks and
the Bolsheviki have become strained.
The Moscow government has sent a
note recognizing the government of
Premier Makharady, of soviet Geor-
gia The note also stated that any
attacks made on Georgia would be
considered tantamount to attacks on
soviet Russia

AMERICAN PEOPLE
ENRICH GOVERNMENT
BY .$5O0,000,000 TAX
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. March Is. - The
American people today had their an
nual day of reckoning. Their labori-
ously reckoned incomes and business
profits for the year of 1920 were pre-
scented in the form of business and
excess profit tax returns to collectors
Of internal revenue throughout the
country.
The United States government as a
result will be richer tonight by ap-
proximately s5oO,O0o,Ooo according to
an estimate by secretary of the treas
ury Mellon. But the riches will not
be for long. for the receipts will be
needed Immediately to retire short
term borrowings or certificates of in
debtedness issued by the government
amounting to s5oO.0oo,OoO
Expect Extra Funds.
Some fiscal experts at the treasury
expect today's income and excess
profits receipts to approximate $780,
100000. If such is the case, the extra
ton to the public debt and redemption
OF her savings securities. Payments
to the railroads under the guaranty
provision of the transportation act
also may absorb portion of receipts
over the half billion total.
Receipts year ago today were
100000 but the general depression ex-
perienced during the last half Of 1920
was counted on to decrease the total
incomes and profits reported. The
present financial situation was consid-
cred AS likely to cut down also the
number of tax payers who pay their
entire tax in one installment
Collectors Of revenue faced the usual
busy day. Many Of the Offices will re-
main open until late tonight to ac-
commodate late tax payers. For per
sons or business concerns taxable
under the law who fail to make 3
return todav with at least payment
of one-fourth of tine total tax, penal
ty is prescribed. Returns sent by
mail postmarked today will be con-
sidered as having been made today.
