CRAIG ISSUES A
STATEMENT ON THE
IRISH SITUATION

BELFAST. Feb. 12.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press)-Sir James Craig, the
Ulster premier this evening issued the
following statement:
"The government of Northern Ire
land have been in constant communi-
cation with Downing street the Off
ctAl residence of Premier Lloyd
George) Gunng the week end and have
received information that Arthur Grif-
nth has dispatched cmissaries to
County Monaghan with Instructions to
| arrange for the release OF the kid
| naped loyaltista
| THE Northern government have pro-
posed the following plan in case the
present negotiations of the British
government prove ineffective:
They teleSraphcd Saturday night TO
the British cabinet urging that Mon
Afghan and other danger points beyond
the boundary of northern Ireland
should be occupied by British troops
with free hand 10 take whatever
steps they considered necessary 10 Sc
cure the release Of the loyalists and to
prevent further incursions across the
border.
Such troops should be able TO pre-
vent any recurrence OF such coward
Iy and brutal outrages as that perpe-
trated Saturday at Clones when forces
of the crown proceeding on duty thru
territory admitted by Mr.. Churchill
British colonial secretary in the
house of commons still to be under
the British regime, were foully and
brutally murdered.
Further steps In the plan are to
organize resolutions in both houses of

homes and. until the British govern
ment agrees that the boundaries Will
not be altered without the consent OF

MUST FILE RETURN
DESPITE EXEMPTIONS

THE Revenue Act Of 1921 contains
provision which requires every indi-
viduai whose gross income equals or
exceeds S., 900 to file a return, without
regard to his personal exemption and
regardless of whether or not he has
any taxable net income.
1T is probable that great many
persons liable under this new provi-
sion OF the law may. because OF mis-
understanding of the Revenue
Bureaus definition of gross income,
neglect to file returns when they are
really liable. This would be especially
true of persons conducting a busi-
ness.
1T therefore behooyes business
man to remember that gross income
for income tax purposes is briefly his
gross receipts from his business. less
the cost Of goods sold. plus additional
miscellaneous income, and that de-
duQtions for salaries. wages. rent.
light. depreciation and other business
expenses while allowed under the law
in determining taxable net income.
must not be considered when comput-
ing gross income.
"A safe thing for anyone to do
should he be in doubt as to his obliSa-
tions under the new Revenue Act, is
to file return and disclose all the
facts connected with his liability or
non-liability for income tax. thereby
relieving himself from the imposition
of any penalty should an investigation
conducted by the bureau disclose that
because of ignorance OF the law no
return had been fled"

A report of Red Cross activities for

amounted up to s3,i42.a3.
The Red Cross visitors investigate
each case presented and with the ad

to the best decision that can be
reached with the information at hand.
