Year's Cotlectione Expected to Kxoeed 91,900,000,000, According to Treasury Department Data. Washington, March 16. -- Tangible evidence of the revival of business and the return of prosperity are contained in the income tax returns for 1922, according to estimates of the Treasury department. Conservative) estimates prepared by the actuaries- of the department indicate the return which closed last night will approximate $400,000,000, or about $7,000,000 more than for the first quarter of last jtear. Later information from the large financial centers, New York, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia, indicated that this estimate may be exceeded greatly. The Indications now would appear to be that the collections ior tbe entire year 1923, based on business done in 1022, will approximate and probably exceed $1,500,000,000. Tbe day's reports are taken to mean that prosperity is more generally distributed, earning power has increased, industry is more prosperous, and that on the whole the prospect for business future is rosy. TURK FLAG IN JERUSALEM Episcopal Church Head 8ays InstlttK tion Should Change Laws So That ^^Pne Could Be Ma«f^ ' who Has Living Mate. New York, March 17.--Bishop William T. Manning In a Lenten address declared that to allow men and women to live together for a time rod then with legal sanction to separate and form new alliances as often as they please is in principle to abolish mar* riage and to adopt a system of legalised free love. ' The bishop's topic mi's "The Peri! of Easy Divorce to Our Life as a Nation." "It is worthy of notice that thcee who seek to break down and destroy the life of the church seek also to destroy the institutions of marriage and the family," remarked the bishop. Dr. Manning declared the Episcopal Church should change her laws so that no one could be married at her altars who has a husband or wife living, which Is the law of the Roman Catholic church. At present the Episcopal church has a canon forbidding one of her clergy to officiate at the marriage of a man or woman who aas a wife er husband living unless '-he applicant Was the innocent party in a divorce for Infidelity, and then onl~ after the bishop and the diocesan lawyer have given their consent. We must not think in hard and unsympathetic spirit of tbe human sufferings connected with this question, but on the other hand we must oot allow our feelings to make us unmindful of the supreme moral principles involved," said the bishop. Let me say at once that separation of man and wife is not forbidden by the church. The church in some cases even advises this. It is divorce and remarriage which the church opposes and which is bringing such disastrous consequences upon us. The institution of the family based In monogamic marriages is the supreme possession that man has won through all the long ages of bis moral and spiritual progress. And yet as a nation we are traveling on a course which is undermining and sapping the life of this Institution. "It is a simple fact that as a nation we are- rapidly abandoning the principle of monogamic marriage. The proportion of divorce to marriages has reached figures thalt are appalling." iTWO OFFICERS DIE IN PLANE U. %.

Strategists Hold That Maneuvers Prove Need of Building' More Light Cruisers and Aircraft--Denby ; ' Sees "Batt|e» Off Panama. BnlRoa, Panama Canal Zone, March 20.--The necessity for a preponderance of light cruisers, destroyers and aircraft to protect the battle fleet was strikingly Illustrated, In the opinion of naval strategists, by the results of two destroyer attacks on the Pacific fleet, witnessed by Secretary Denby and senators and representatives. While neither assault carried any element of surprise, two superdreadnaughts were theoretically pat out of action during each phase of the maneuvers. In the first attack nineteen destroyers attached to the "blue" fleet came oVfer the horizon behind a smoke screen and launched fifty-seven torpedoes, two finding a mark on the Idaho, third ship of the "rted" fleet, and one striking the California, flagship of Admiral Bberle's Pacific fleet. Eighteen seaplanes sent out to bomb the destroyers failed to arrive before the torpedoes were launched. The battleships opened simulated fire on the destroyers, but officers said the attacking force was so well protected by the smoke screen that it did not aford much of a target. During the second attack, 'which was staged without a smoke screen, nineteen destroyers again participated. They laid down a checker-board of fifty- seven torpedoes, forcing the "red" fleet to deploy from Its battle line. Two torpedoes struck the Tennessee, second ship in line, while another hit thf Idaho, third ship. Officers judged both out of action, the battleships, because of the haze, having difficulty in getting the range of the destroyer. During each phase the "red" fleet had the aid of three light cruisers, which, however, were not protected by destroyers. Seaplanes did not figure in the second phas* -Vi --,1 •- U. 4.)
