Battle Now In Progress East Of Paris.
Number Of Men Engaged Is
Not Known.

PARIS. Sept. 9.-C2:4O a. m.)-The
battle which is proceeding TO the east
Of Paris appears to be the most i'm
portant and most stubbornly fought
combat OF the campaign. The military
authorities decline TO give any indica-
ton OF the number of men engaged,
but hundreds Of thousands are partici-
pating on both sides.
According to those in a position to
obtain authentic information, the cas-
ualties have been so great that the
Germans have requested an armistice
OF twenty-four hours The armistice
was refused with the response:
We grant you that time to set out
Of France"
An official communication issued By
the war Office shows that the German
left wing. while retreating before the
allies. has offered the sternest resist
ance. delivering several, but unsuc-
cessful. counter attacks.
The fighting to-day extended along
both the Ourcq and Marne rivers. In
the latter region the British forces
have engaged in a strong offensive in
undulating country. The progress Of
the allies has been exceedingly dir
fcult
In the center OF the allied line sew
eral encounters have occurred. the
two opposing forces ending the day
with varying fortunes. which. how
ever. are regarded as more favorable
10 the allies than 10 their adver-

LONDON. Sept. s. 10 p. m.-The

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and other
prominent men have written letters

The British admiralty has long been
Investigating equipment for the ex-
plosiOn Of mines before ships strike
them. More than 1000 devices for
this purposes have been offered IN
England. but like the naval experts OF
other nations the British have found
all effective equipment so heavy as TO
retard the speed Of vessels.
As a consequence II r. explained
the British like other nations, have

SLIGHT INCREASE In THE
INCOME TAX Is PROPOSED
AS MEANS FOR RAISING ADDI-
TIONAL REVENUE FOR
GOVERNMENT.
Also Reduce the Minimum and
Maximum ExemptiOn-Win
Produce $35, 5,OOO,O 900.

WASHINGTON. Sept. s.-An income
tax increase OF one-half of one per
cent and a reduction OF the minimum
exemption from $4,000 TO $1,000. and
the maximum exemption from 1900
to $4,000 were tentatively agreed upon
today by Democratic members of the
ways and means committe who are
framing the emergency revenue bill 70
raise $1OO.OO0.00O. II Is estimated
that the proposed income tax charges
would produce $35.O00.OOO annually.
In deciding on the income tax in
creases the committee considered the
fact that revenue from that source
would not be available until next
July, but the opinion was general that
the increased revenue from other
sources would meet any deficit until
that time.
Under the proposed changes the in.
come tax would be one and one-half
per cent on incomes OF single persons
In excess Of $1,000 and the same on
married persons in excess OF $4,000.
In addition. the one-half per cent. in
crease would be added pro rata IN ac-
cOrdance with the increased sur taxes
on incomes in excess OF $4,000.
To Increase Tax.
The committee agreed also that the
increased tax on beer and malt u.
quors should be fixed az fifty cents a
barrel, bringing IN S25 900. 900. On do
nestle wines an extra tax Of twenty
cents a gallon will raise $4,000. 600.
