War G1 }te1t. A!'

Soon after ] became a Chetnik,
events in the Balkans moved to a
swift climax. Bulgaria joined the
Nazis, and on the morning of
March 25 the news was flashed:
"Jugoslavia has signed the Axis
pact" The Serbs were stunned at
the incredible sell-out Of their gov
ernment. In Belgrade there was a
death-like calm for two days. No
Serb showed his face on the streets,
but behind closed doors a momen-
tous determination was gathering.
1t broke on March 27. On that
fateful day, for the first time a
small nation of Europe declared
war on Germany before it was it.
self attacked. Little Serbia had
decided to battle the monster. And
from that day onward, and because
of that decision, everything went
wrong for Germany.
1t was the Serbs, whom Germany
expected to brush off like a trou-
blesome mosquito, who spoiled her
aim, destroyed her timing. | be-
lieve their courageous action saved
the British empire and - yes -
America, from slavery to Europe,
as once before, in 1889, the Serbs
heroic stand saved Europe from
slavery to Asia.
The Nazis had intended to at
tack Russia in March-my infor-
nation told me March 16. Hitler
had expected to have Jugoslavia in
hand and thoroughly "coordinated"
by then. Instead, he had to fight.
He had to detach an army in
tended for Russia and send it down
into the Balkans to secure his rear
AN army of not less than half
a million troops. 1t took him three
months to do what he had expected
would be done by routine penetra-
ton and terrorization, in no time
at all.
There can be no question that if
Germany had had those three
spring months in which to concen-
trate her full force on Russia, she
would have taken Moscow and that
life stream of the Soviet, the
Volga. and Russia would have been
out Of the war-a serious situation
for the Allies.

American woman has before.

Serbs. | liked their way of living
and their principles. And because

pressed in a Serbian organization

Chetniks, | eventually joined them
and became, myself, Chetnik.

That was all. Then Perchanatz
took the big, old book and solemnly
drew line through my name.
"Your life" he said, "is no longer

This is the only organization in

The alternative form explains the
reason for making the new declara-
ton under the "pay-as-you-g
revenue act.
Withholding of tax at source
does not make every one current in
his tax payments" the alternative
form says, I'm the first place, it ap-
plies only to certain wages and
salaries, and not to other forms of
income, such as interest, dividends,
rents and business profits. In the
second place, the rate of withhold
ing approXimates only the net vic
tory tax, the normal income tax
and the surtaX at the lowest bracket
rate.
Therefore, in order to place all
taxpayers On an equal footing from
the standpoint Of being current in
their income and victory tax pay
ments, the current tax payment act
of 1943 provides a second method.
Under this method the tax payer will
file a declaration of estimated tax
for the year, and pay that estimated
tax either in a lump sum or in in
Stallments, just as he has in the
past. But there will be this differ
ence-he will be paying during this
year his tax on this years income.
Most taxpayers will not have to
file declarations because their in
come consists of wages subject to
withholding, and these wages are
not over the lowest surtax bracket.
You are not required to file a
declaration unless you come within
one of those groups
A penalty is provided for a Sub
stantial underestimate of the tax"
the explanation points out, adding
however, no one who makes a
careful estimate need incur this
penalty. If your estimate in your
