IS, REPORTED

PEKING, October 28.-The
Christian Chinese army holding Pc
king prepared yesterday to meet
the threatened attack from the d.
rection of Tientsin, where Marshal
WI Pei-Fu refusing to be ousted
from Chilli province he controlled
so long, was understood to be mob
ilizing the remnants of his army
for a drive on the capital.
Marshal Feng Thu Hsing, the
Christian general, has some 10000
troops, including the nucleus of his
well-trained, well-equipped shock
units, numbering 10000, at his
disposal to defend the city. The
latter's prestige was badly shaken
by defeats at Shanhaikwan, how
ever, and many officials expressed
doubt if WI would make good his
threat to return and drive Feng

plying to all returns of income made

Revenue Act of 1924 or prior in
come tax acts. The Collector furth-
er explained that the term person"
means an individual, a trust or
estate, partnership, or corpora
ton.
1t was stated that the lists rcquir-
ed by the new revenue law are now
available for inspectio min the col
lector's office and that the collec-
tor has designated one of his en-
ployees to assist all persons n aking
