Hy the ASSociai tod Press

BY the Associated Press.
The Internal Revenue Bureau
said yesterday the decrease in cor
poration income tax collections in
Maryland and 13 other collection
districts for the 1914 fiscal year was
due chiefly to shifting Of war orders.
Bureau officials said strikes and
loss of manpower in nonwar in
dustries causing decreases in profits
also entered into the lower collec-
tionS.
Maryland Internal Revenue Col
lector George Hofferbert said in
Baltimore that the decrease re-
suited partially from the fact that
extensions of time were granted
some corporations for payments.

Soviet-Finnish Issue
In Critical Stage as
Reds Insist on Terms
By the Associated Press.


STOCKHOLM, Mar. 14.-Soviet-
Finnish peace negotiations appeared
today to have entered a critical
stage as advices from Helsinki in
dicated Russia had warned Finland
to accept her original armistice
terms and quit the war without
delay or accept the consequences.
Although strict Finnish censorship
served to obscure the situation some
what, 1t was reported on good author
ity that the Russians had delivered
q stern note to the Helsinki govern
ment refusing to modify their peace
proposals and giving the Firms only
q few days more to make up their
minds.
A secret session of the Finnish
Parliament was believed likely today
TO discuss the situation, which was
described as highly urgent.
Faces Important Decision.
IN q heavily dispatch
from the Finnish capital last night,
Associated Press Correspondent Ed
win Shanke said the Helsink gov
ernment was faced squarely with
an important decision" and limited
at the possibility of dramatic de-
velopments" within the next few
days.
Indicating the Russians had re-
fused to accede to Finnish requests
for an opportunity to negotiate the
conditions under which Finland
would quit the war, Mr.. Shanke said:
"The armistice terms are as hard
to accept today In the Finnish view
as they were. three weeks ago when
Russia first transmitted them to
Helsinki through the Finnish inter-
mediary, Juho Kosti Paasikivi. In
addition, time is growing factor" I"
Internment Of Nazis Problem.
Mr.. Shanke added that the Rus
sian demand causing the most con-
Germ In Finnish quarters was that
calling for the interment of all
German troops now in Finland, esti-
mated at seven divisions.
The Films repeatedly have ex-
pressed the fear that an attempt to
comply with this would result In
open fighting with the Germans
which might turn Finland into an
other Italy.
