BONUS PASSAGE ASSURED BY RULES SUSPE PEAGE EFFORTS IN NEAR EAST HOLD INTEREST Greek Forces Prepared For Great Campaign Against Turks PARIS, March 23.—(By The Associated Press.)—In- terest in the conference on Near Eastern affairs, in prog- ress here with the foreign ministers of Great Britain, France and Italy as the principal con ferees, is centering so far in the ef. forts they have initiated to bring about peace betwren the Greeks and Turkish nationalists in Asia Minor. Their first step was to send tele grams to Constantinople, Angora and Athens yesterday requesting an ar mistice. Military tntelitgence tm possession of the allied foreign ministers indi- cate that the Greek forces on the Asi- atic mainland number 185,000 of whom 100,000 are along the fighting lines. Opposing them are about 90,000 Turks. The Greeks now occupy a territory more than twice the size of Switzer- land, including the important cities of Smyrna, Mudania, Brusa, and Kut sia, as well as Eski-Shehr and Afion- Kamhissar, key positions on the Perlin-Bagdad railway. ‘The present Greek line és about 160 miles west of Angora, the Turkish na- tionalist capital. King Constantine forces, which suffered 250,000 casual- ties in the summer campaign against Angora have been consolidated and reinforced and are weil supplied with French, English, German and Aus- trian artillery, machino guns, and rifles, with one thousand motor truck« and automobiles, and several thousani Missouri mules, camel and ox tre'ns and fifteen airplanes. ‘The Turks are poorty clad, but wel! officered, drilled and disciplined and are unrelenting fighters. ‘They have no motor transport and onty three air- planes but are well equipped with horses, camels and oxen. The troops are able to subsist on the most meager of diets. Presifient Potncare, Lori Curzon and Signor Schanzer, the allied con- ferees here who consider the time is propitious for an armistice are under- ‘stood to base their judgment upon ad- vices which they consider indicate a ‘waning morale” on the part of the Greek people. Protection of mtnorities'in Asin Mi- nor was tho chief subject discussed this morning by the foreign minister.

VOLUME VI TAX ESTIMATES CASPER, WYO., THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1922. CUT MILLIONS BY. ACTUAL RETURNS WiNTTHEWBILLBONIGTIM OF AGCIDENT LAST NIGHT Income and Excess $200,000,000 Less Profits Total Over Than Estimated Revenue From These Sources WASHINGTON, March 23.—On the basis of col- lection of income and profits taxes of the March 165 install- ment, a shortage of $200,000,000 in the estimated revenues from these sources for the calendar year 1922, was estimated today by the treasury. Original estimates of revenues from income and profits taxes for the calen‘iar years, high offi- cials said were $1,740,000,000 while returns frem the March installment now indicate the total of the year will be $1,540,000,000, Final reports on recetpts for March will not be in hand before the end of the month, officials said, but reports received from collectors so far indi- cate that not more than $400,000,000 will be recetved as compared with ap- proximately $728,000,000 for the corre. sponding quarter Inet year. The shortage, officials said, was due entirely to the business depression luring 1921, the year upon which the axes are due. The expected shortage of revenues, high officials asserted, would retard thetreasury’s program for continuing the reduction of the public debt as ap- propriations made on the basis of budget estimates would have to be met by further government borrowing to provide the funds. Secretary Mellon wag understood to regard the drop in tax receipts as making it ail the more difficiit to take care of any proposed bonus legislation calling upon the treasury for fi- nancing.~ " N.
