a war tax. according to statements Of
prom!nen. members of the Senate today
They say the automobile owners are
going to he compelled to bear their
share OF the burden imposed by the
war in Europe.
The form the war tax will take has
been freely discussed in Ways and

House members. Senators have not
talked so much about It. But Senators
say that no matter how the House
passes the bill, they will get a chance
to amend it. and will do so unless it is
satisfactory TO them.
Leader Underwood opposes a stamp
tax on documents. But the disposition
Of the Senate Is to impose one.
According to prominent Senators. the

that number of Russians.
GERMANY-War Office pro-
claims victories in the east and
west. The Prussian army has
been heavily re-enforced. and

the landsturm.
ENGLAND - Preliminary re-
ports of casualties show high

the German right wing is now
less than fifty miles from Paris.
The French center is holding
fast and the right is advancing.
All efforts of the Germans to
