testing armies, two new developments
stand out. The first is that the
French, over a front of six miles, have
driven into the German lines along
the southern side of the salient es-
'tablished by the Teutonic drive. The
other is, that the Germans have be-
gun new operations to the east of 'Ar-
ras. This may be a start to widen the
!area of battle to the northward.

Detroit, March 28.-Fire of undeter-
mined origin tonight destroyed the
four-story building and stock of Arm-
strong & Graham, leather goods manu-
facturers, and also dagmaged the build-
ing and stock of a wholesale paper
company adjoining.
The buildings are situated in the
lower downtown districts and the fire
was discovered by members of the
'state constabulary patrolling the river
front district. The report is that the
windows on one side of the Armstrong
& Graham building suddenly blew out
as if from an explosion within.
The leather goods concern is un-
derstood to have been engaged on war
contracts. Included in the destroyed
stock were 24,00 sets of harness. It is
estimated the loss will exceed $400,-
000.
4NCOME TAX RETURNS MUST BE
FILED BEFORE SUNDAY, MAR. 81
All income tax returns must be filed
within the next two days.
.Any person subject to tax on in-
come who fails to file by March 31,
*will be liable to a fine of from $20 to
$1,000, besides a 50 per cent addition
to the tax due. Heavy punishment
awaits those who make false returns.
Every unmarried person whose net
income reached $1,000 last year, and
who is not supporting one or more
persons closely connected with him
by blood, marriage, or adoption, must
make a statement of their inc'me to
the government.
If married or supporting a family,
it is necessary to make a return for
income amounting to $2,000 a year or
more. This applies to salaried men,
wage earners, farmers, merchants,
professional men, tradesmen, and
others.
According to the local internal rev-
enue expert, Mr. Otto E. Haab, many+
people have been waiting for the
last moment to file their returns.
However most of the people of Ann
Arbor have inquired as to the form of
the statement, and the deductions to
be made. Those in doubt as to wheth-
er they must file a return, are advised
to visit Mr. Haab at once. He will
not only give information but will as-
sist in making out the return.
