S. GOOD WILL
firm, SAYS JUSSERAND

League as American Idea Car
ried Out by Europe.
By the Associated Press.

HAVRE, October 21-M Jusserand.
the French ambassador to the United
States, accompanied by his wife. is
aboard the steamer Paris, which left
for New York tonight. The ambassa-
dor said he was pleased with his visit
to France; he went to Geneva and
saw the league Of nations work. He
had great admiration for it's program
and declared:
1T was the American idea carried
out by Europe"
In his opinion. although Americans
are aloof as observers, they will
eventually play an important role
in the influence of the league.
With regard to the law forbidding
liquor on steamers entering American
ports, NJ. Jusserand said that an in
junction, which had been taken out,
would prevent execution of the law
for some time.
On Franco-American relations. he
said at one time there was a slight
GOODNESS between the countries which
might be attributed, perhaps, to an
intense propaganda, but, he added.
Americans, who are level headed,
rapidly realized that friendship had
not swerved. He was confident that
he would win in Washington ths
same good will as in the past.

was pleased today when he read news

ADRIANAPOLE. October 21.-Wom-

shoulders were conspicuous among
the 10000 Christian refugees who
trudged through the main street here
today on their weary way to the
frontier across the Martha river.
These armed women had Joined their
men folk in repelling an attack upon
them by Turkish irreSulars in The
bleak hills west Of Adrianapole.
The limo Of trhdging refugees ex-
tended in an unbroien mass several
miles along the route Of flight when
the Turkish irreSulars, who had land
ed at Media, on the Black sea, bore
down upon them. The fight lasted an
hour, and two refugees were killed.
Most of the disconsolate exiles who
poured through the streets : Of
Adrianapole today came from
Malgara, Keshan and neighboring
villages to the south.
British Stop Attack.
A report of their clash with the
band of Turks was sent to the British
military authorities at Rodost. who
quickly dispatched platoons Of high
landers armed with rifles and ma
chine guns into the hills. The colonel
in charge said that the situation was
well in hand and that interference
with the exodus of Greeks and
Armenians would be deIt with
severely.
At Malgara 800 Greek families are
stranded for lack of transportation.
Among them Is George Kamas, a
Greek American from Chicago, who
exhibited an American passport and
said that he had arrived few months
ago to get his fancee and take her
back to America.
Thomas Stephanos, a Greek-Amer-
lean. with a passport showing he had
lived in Washington, D. c.. rounded
up a hundred refugees in a burning
village near Malgara and led them
on trek toward Macedonia. He ex-
pressed the opinion that If the United
States government would send the
necessary ships to carry them across
the Atlantic. all of the exiles from
Thrace would go to America and
make good citizens.
Two hundred Armenians, survivors
of a midnight massacre at Bigha, ar

worker, who is assisting refugees in

FINAL BUDGET SUM

Few Days to See End of
Conference of Commission
ers With Bureau.

After weeks Of thorough considera-
ton, the bureau Of the budget and the
commissioners expect to complete work
within a few days on the District
estimates for the next fiscal year.
Reliable reports indicate that when
the final touch has been applied the
city's expense account for the year
beginning next July will total between
s26, 900, 900 and $27,o00,000.
While that amount Is not all that

needs, they will be gratifed If the

gress.

Consideration Of the District estimates
since they. went to the budget bureau in
September has been problem Of put"
and ''take''-putting in more important
items and taking out others Of lesser
Importance.
MANY conferences were necessary be-
tween the District building and the
budget office, because. the Commissioners
had prepared estimates far in excess Of
the amount the Treasury officials felt
they could. allow.
Early in September the budget bureau
notified the commissioners that District
estimates would have to. be restricted
to s24,5o0,00 Brig. Gen. Lord d.

heads permission to submit supple

Although it is not likely that the
Commissioners will get all they. asked
for street improvements, it is ex-
nected that the allowance for this
much needed work will be more than

1900 DELINQUENT
ON PERSONAL TAX
Additional Penalties to Be
Imposed if Returns Are
Not Filed Next Month.
PUNISHMENT NOW DUE
Assessment Raised 20 Per Cent
Because Of Neglect
to Date.

With nearly half Of real estate and
personal tax bills due next month.
there are approximately $4,000 Wash
ingtonians who have rot yet filed
personal tax returns. it was learned
yesterday from Assessor Richards.
Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, auditor. es-
timated last night the collector of
taxes should take in $6,0O0.000 next
month in real estate and personal
property taxes, representing SO per
cent Of the years levy.
Collector OF Taxes Towers an.
nounced he will mail out personal
and half of the amount stated on the
bills must be paid during November.
1t is not the custom OF the tax office
to mail out real estate bills, however.
and they must be called for. The bills
are ready, and hundreds of property
owners already have called for their
statements.
approximately $1,000 persons should
have filed personal tax returns. but
only $4,000 have done SO. That leaves
$4,000 still to file.
Only personal tax bills will be
mailed to the $4,000 who filed returns
last July or since.
Assessment I'm Order.
The $4,000 negiectful ones will be
assessed This list of assessments
will not be ready in time for billing
next month, and will have to go over
until May of 1923. when the second
half of the years taxes are due.
If you are one of those who failed
to make a return last July you can
save yourself a penalty by going to
the District building now, making a
return and getting a bill in time to
meet the first half payment next
month.
Even If you file your personal re-
turn now you will have 20 per cent
added to your assessment as penalty
for not appearing in July. However
the filing of a return now will enable
you to pay half of your tax in No
vember and thus avoid the additional
penalty that will await you next
May, If your personal tax bill goes
over till then.
Collector Towers said yesterday
many property owners are paying
their bills as they call for them. de-
spite the fact payment is not re-
uuired until November. He also said
a large percentage Of those have paid
the full amount Of their bills instead
of the required half.
Mr.. Towers does not expect owners
of large estates, where the tax
amounts to a considerable sum, to
pay for the year in advance. He
realizes that such owners will pay
the required SO per cent and draw
interest on the balance Of their
money until final payment is due in
May.
The collector believes, however. a
considerable percentage of individual
home owners will pay their bills in
full next month. The tax on the
!. average home runs from $50 to SIS
and the interest on half of that sum
for six months would hardly deter q
property owner from postponing pay.
