BRAZIL HOLDS SHIP
SEEKING j. s. FLAG
Acts on British Refusal to
Recognize Transfer-Bryan
Asked to Protest.

SCenting the first trouble under the
new ship registry law, Congressman
Kahn of California took up with the
State Department the troubles of the
steamer Robert Dollar, which. he says,
is being held at the port of Rio de
Janeiro, because the British consul there
declines to recognize its transfer to
American registry and because the Bra
lillian government had declined TO issue
clearance papers.
The Robert Dollar. according to Mr.
Kahn, was a British registered vessel
owned by the Dollar Steamship Com
pany, of San Francisco. When Con-
gress recently passed law permitting
foreign-built ships owned in this coun-
try to take the American flag, the own
ers of the steamer registered under the
new law. Now, it is said, the ship is
tied up as securely in the Brazilian port
as though blockaded by one of the
warning countries.
MIR Kahn today asked Secretary
tions to the British ambassador and
obtain clearance papers and recognition
for the ship as an American vessel.
The case of the Robert Dollar seems
to be proving the contentious of those
of us who contended the new registry

to permit its ships to slip into American

accordingly. Great Britain does not

Freight Tax Shelved,
Democratic SOlOnS Glad

Democratic Senators who have been
worried about the freight tax scheme
expressed relief today that the House
had abandoned the plan.
Senator Simmons. chairman of the FL
nance Committee, is one o. those who
are glad to see the freight tax plan
dropped.
Trouble over the war tax in the Sen
ate, however. is not over Long dis
cussion is looked for with complete un-
certainty as to adjournment of the ses-
sion.
Senator Simmons told the President
and Leader Underwood. at the confer
ence Tuesday at the White House, that
the freight tax could not pass the Sen
ate.
The gasolene tax. according to Sena-
tor Simmons, may be replaced by a
tax on automobiles. He argues that
dealers in gasolene would take advant-
age of the war tax to raise the price of
gaSOlene.
Saloon proprietors all over the coun-
try are wiring in protests against the
proposed beer tax. They figure it
would fall on them, inasmuch as they
cannot charge more than cents for a
glass of beer.
Senators plan to offer many amend
ments to the House bill. Demands will
be made for tax on whisky and on
cigarettes.
Republican Senators will oppose war
taxes on the ground there is no need
for them and that the best plan will
BE to econOmiZe.

ITALY IS READY To

London Diplomats Believe Victor

Will Fight Austrians.

LONDON. Sept. 16.-There is a grow

italy has Mt last decided definitely to
aid the allies against her former treaty
associates.
Confidential reports received today
through diplomatic sources indicated
that the pressure from within Is begin
ming to have its effect on the Italian
government, which, up to the present,
has sincerely endeavored to maintain
neutrality.
But the anti-Austrian feeling con-
tinues to grow and the admission that
the troops from the Adriatic and the
Tyrol regions were put in the very
front rank and sacrificed in the Galician
and Russian Poland fighting. coupled
with the realization that these regi-
ments were mostly composed Of Italians,
has famed the flame against Austria.
All of the radical groups are urging
the government to act, and. as a re-
suit of the agitation, lengthy cabinet
conferences are being held.

Germans STRENGTHEN Lines
For ReneWal of Fighting

PARIS, Sept 16.-Analysis of all the
information available today shows that
while severe fighting is in progress al
many points, it is all in the nature
of general rear guard action. The
German commanding officers are re-
forming their main lines, filling up the
gaps in the regiments that lost the
heaviest from the reserve lines, and re-
fitting with ammunition.
Guns lost have been replaced. and
there are evidences at every point that
the Germans are contemplating both a
renewal Of the present action and prob
ably another attempt at the offensive
from some new point on the line.
Today the Germans held strongly in
trenched positions in the low hills TO the
north of the Aisne river. They have
destroyed all of the bridges across the
river that remained. and have with
drawn their own pontoons so the prob
lem Of reaching them is a serious one,
although the British are believed al
ready to have found a way to cross
But as the rivers are all out of their
banks now as a result of the heavy
rains. natural fords are impossible, and
all the allied armies must use their
pontoons.
