collector of internal revenue or dep
uty collector on or before midnight
March 8, he said.
An extension of time not to exceed
thirty days in some cases may be OBJ
tanned fromsthe collector he continued,
but these extensions are to be granted
only in such cases as the collector
knows actually require the additional
time, such as illness or enforced alb

empire IN the forthcoming general

Only now has it become apparent
that the publication of the letter sent

leaders of the various political parties.
The entrance of the former crown
prince into the arena of active politics
undoubtedly would call for bitter de-
nunciation from members of the pro-

munists and the Socialists. However,
the new constitution adopted at Wei

clares that any citizen of the empire

President Eber's shoes.

A majority of the ex-crown princes

as well as most of those whom he

process of peaceful evolution.
The prince himself stated in his
now famous letter that he still be-
lieves monarchy does more for the
people" but at the same time he IN

thoughts of the overthrow of the re-

A German president, upon assuming
office, must swear that he will guard
the constitution and laws of the

impeached and deposed by the

The prince is not affiliated with
any particular political power. nor
does he appear to be DESTROYS of join
