PARIS. Sept 1O.-"The allies are
forcing the enemy back at every
point along the line" General Gallieni
announced this afternoon. That was
the only official information forth
coming today OF the outcome of what
is generally expected to prove the de-
cisive battles of the present war, so
far as France is concerned. The Ger
mans are hard pressed. The French
British northern army now has the
Paris defense army assisting IT, the
necessity for completely manning the
forts of Paris having passed.
The German right wing, under Cen
eral Won Kluck. has suffered greatly.
II bore the brunt OF the lighting all
the way from the Belgian border and
the attempt to reinforce IL from Gen
eral Won Buelow's forces failed. AS a
result the Germans have been pushed
across the Marne and are now being
driven due north toward Belgium. AZ
the same time it ie believed another
British force, recently landed, has
raided the German lines of communi.
cations and is now essaying a flank
attack in force.
General Gallieni declares that the
/ French centre is also isolating th'
German advance. The great German

Kaiser Tells President of
Use of Dunn Dunn Bullets

ods are making It one OF the most bar
barous in history. Beside the use Of
these awful weapons. the Belgian
government has openly melted the
civil population to participate In the
fighting. and has for a long time
carefully organized their resistance.
The cruelties practiced IN this gueril-
Ia warfare, even by women and
priests, toward wounded soldiers and
doctors and hospital nurses were such
that eventually my generals were
compelled to adopt the strongest
measures to punish the guilty and
frighten the bloodthirsty population
from continuing their shameful deeds.
Some villages. and even the Old town
of Louvain. with the exception Of its
beautiful town hall. had to be de-
stroyed for the protection of my
troops My heart bleeds when | see
such measures inevitable and when
think of the many innocent people
who have lost their houses and prop
erty as a result of the misdeeds Of the
guilty.

DEMOCRATS TO PUT
TAX ON BEER, Wine
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept 10-An inter-
nal "war tax bill was agreed upon
today by the House Ways and Means
Committee. The bill will increase the
tax on beer by 80 cents a barrel, on
wines 20 cents a gallon, and tax
freight 3 per cent of its value. The
President agreed finally to accept the
plan to tax freight. IL was stated.
Democrats OF the House Ways and
Means Committee estimate that
fifty-cent a barrel additional tax on
beer will raise S33,000.0 900 per annum.
A tax on wine at 20 cents a gallon
Is estimated to raise 100000 and
the tax on freight in transit is count
ed on to produce S65,OOO,OOO. These
amounts will aggregate more than
the Sl00,000,OO0 needed by the treas
ury. The ta. on railroad freight will
be three per cent. of the amount rep
resented by the freight bill.
Plans to take many other articles
we're dropped, including a stamp tax.
Following the agreement among
Democratic committeeman. COM
munication was had with the White
House and the president is under
stood TO have agreed TO accept the
proposed bill The bill viii be whip
ped into shape today by Chairman
Underwood. introduced tomorrow, and
rushed TO final passage.
The emergency bill win provide
that the railroads shall collect for
the government the tax on freight.

the railroads are to be allowed one
per cent. of the amount actually col
lected; that is. If the railroads turn
in 500. IN taxes the government will
get S99 and the railroads 81.
Underwood said that the tax on rail-
road freight would be widely distri-
Z buted, illustrating his point by saying
that freight bills amounting to $4,000
woul be taxed only $500, but that the
4 volume of business represented by
+ $4,000 in freight bills would exceed
{ 81, 900 900.
The tax on wine will apply to man.

10 PER CENT. OFF

Company Decides on Cut in
Line With Retrench-
ment Policy
ALL WORKERS
TO BE AFFECTED

Wilmington railroad men employed
by the p. r. r. may have their pay
reduced. If present plans are car
ried out the wages of every employe
of the railroad is to be reduced 10
per cent. Just how soon the reduc-
tons will be made is said to depend
on the length Of time required by the
financial department Of the system in
working out details. but It is under
stood that pay will be cut within q
few weeks Depression in business
and the failure Of the Interstate Com
merce Commissioners to grant the 5
per cent increase in freight rates are
given as reasons for the drastic
move.
Should the plan be carried out, Viii
mington's railroad population will lose
thousands OF dollars weekly, and the
fight Of the workers against the high
cost OF living. which has gone up very
rapidly under the present rational ad-
ministration, will be ma le mere diih
