Pew York Dtinlnriia Mmi I.eaves Estate to French Soldiers Maimed in War. [By Associated Press ] NEW YORK. January 3,?Reference If Emperor William, of Germany, as "tho babarlan who criminally caused the war," was made by Jean Baptiste Bourdla of the former eiltc firm of J. Pourdls & Co., of this cl15*, In his will, filed to-day. A bequest of 500,OOu francs was provided for "institution.! tinder the control of the French gov ernment for tho relief of helplessly crippled French soldiers victims of the criminal war imposed by one man for the satisfaction of his own ambitions."

TAX PAPERS DELAYED Lack of Transportation Prevents Cir culation of Interrogatories on Dates Ad -ertlsed. Owing to the delay In transportation facilities and Inability to secure' suf- j flclent paper stock for printing the neoessary bland income tax forms to be I used by income taxpayers in making i their returns for the year 1917, the de- ' partment has been unable to have j printed the forms required for distribu tion among taxpayers. This delay has necessarily disarranged tit e schedule under which income tax officers were to visit, on days heretofore advertised, the varlons county courthouses and other places, for the purpose of in- ' strueting taxpayers in the preparation | of their returns, which arc to be tiled i by March 1. These advertised dates I have, therefore, been necessarily re- j called, but the officers will visit each ' of the counties at a later date, no- | tlce of which will be given. | DEATHS GLENN.?Died, at her rssidence. 1003 Grove j Avenue.
