Reviewing various peace efforts, Dr. Sacasa declared that peace in Nicaragua, based on the continuance of President Diaz in post, was an impossibility. At the same time he reiterated that he him, <elf never wouid be an obstacle to any veal honorable peace which might be uffered him. Declaring tha® he was only defend- Inz the right of the Nicaraguan peo- vle to settle their own internal affairs, he said that he had no animosity twward the American Government, and that he mever had obstructed the policy of the United States. “Diaz does not control the count he said. “On the contrary, the de its which the Liberals have in- ficted on Diaz’ forces are decisive. vhich Rear Admiral Latimer admits in communications 1§ the State De- partment published < in the Unitec Nicaragua, that forces would control the if the Marines were not en- suged in military operations against us and i we were not suffering from the effects of a severe blockade pre- venting the transport of provisions, even Red Cross supplies, to our armies, and if the Marines did not vceupy towns which we are about to capture.

M. C. A. at AMUSEMENTS NATIONAL—- ‘Sweet. Lady.” Thomas Ball, who presents “‘Sweet Lac at the National Theater this week, gave patrons of the modern music shows a genulne surprise last evening at the first performance. In- deed, after a nervous start, the youth ful hosts which carry off the honors of “Sweet Lady” romped aw: an entertainment that hadn't become tiresome at the last curtain, which fell just a_half hour before midnight. “Sweet Lady” is not as saccharine as its title implies. It has a very quaint cuddling song, “On a Side " which is a gem; two or three romantic songs that bit buried: lively and catchy throughout, But its great charm is Aguiing and pretty host of girls in the ances its way [t the Bearis of the audience and winds up by galloping off with nearly all of the applause. More perhaps than any musical comedy or revue that has ever come to Washington, “Sweet Lady” is pri- marily a dancing' show, and in the matter of dances it has never been surpassed. Tt is not the merry, merry type of dancing, but an intricate evo- lution of new and graceful steps such as usually are left to the principais, and the small army of young and pretty girls, without exception, after shaking up the stage with numbers that range from an ensemble clog up- ward, cap the climax, after each dem- onstration, with a new and irresistible exit that invariably starts the hands clapping out front. A new version the seizure of arms at Puerto Cabazas, which ultimately were re- turned and the seizure of 2,000,000 cartridges and about 700 rifles at Rio Grande, which were dumped into the river. Despite these hostilities the Liberal army advances and is royt- ing the enemy in several places in the interior of the republic, mean- while equipping themselves with arms captured from the enemy. As to the situation with purposes of promoting peace, he said: “It is obvious that Diaz has nothing to offer. He has not a legal right to the presidency. The only argument he can advance is the moral and material support of the American government. On the contrary I am legally entitled to the presidency, backed morally and materially by an overwhelming majority of Nica- raguans. The Marines are only de- laying our decisive triumph. I am, moreover, supported by the public opinion of the entire world and a majority of citizens of the United States who are lovers of justice and liberty.” Mother of Red Cross Worker Dead.

During the Winter the American Jewish Committee, of wiich Louis Marshall of New York ij chairman, has made formal represest=ions to the Rumanian authorities “hrough M. Titulescu, the Rumanis ‘Minister | to Great Britain, who he{« ¢ the Ru- | manian debt lnlvamn to the United | States, Mr. Marshall supplied official documents, originating_in ' Rumania, describing treatment of the 1,000,000 Jews in that country. The facts were furnished to M. Titulescu at his re- quest. Since then, according to Mr. Mar- shall, conditions have grown from bad to worse. It is alleged that Jews have been the victims of pogroms; that Jewish students have been subjected to the most brutal experiences; that Jews traveling on trains have been violently thrown from them and at- tacked at railroad stations, and that it is unsafe for them to appear upon Rumanian streets at night. Particular umbrago is taken by American Jewish | leaders at the fact that the leading Rumanian anti-Semitic agitator, Prof. Cuza, has_become a member of the cabinet. He is accused of going up and down the country demanding the extermination of the Jews. Action Against Russia Cited.

Income Tax Problems Simplified for All No. 15. Salaries paid employes constitute one of the largest items of business expenses. To be allowed such claims | must conform closely to the words of | the revenue act of 1926, which pro-| vides for the deduction of “a reason- able allowance for personal services actually rendered.”” The test of de- ductibility is whether the amounts paid are reasonable and whether they are, in fact, purely for personal serv- Ices. Money paid an officer of a cor- poration for which no services, or serv- ices inadequate to the compensation rendered, is not deductible as “sal-| ary.” Reasonable compensation is held | to be an amount that ordinarily | paid by like enterprises in like ci cumstances for like services. For example, an officer of a corpora-| tion received in 1926 compensation in sess of the amount ordinarily paid | rvices such as he rendered, and | bear a relationship to the| amount of his stock holdings. The ex. | s would not be treated as salary, but as a distribution of profits upon stock, and the amount of such excess would not be considered a deductible item. | Bonuses to employes may be de-| ducted by employers when such pay ments are made in good faith as addi- tional compensation for services actu- ally rendered, provided that when | added to the stipulated salaries the total does not exceed a ‘“reasonable | compensation for services rendered.’ When the amount of salary of an| officer or employe is paid for a lim-| ited time to his widow or heirs in| recognition of services rendered by the deceased, such payments may be de-| ducted. ries pald employes ab-| sent in the militwy, naval, or other| service of the Ge srmment, but who | intend to return are allowable deduc- tions. | MRS.
