STOCK BROKERS FAIL
TO EvADE PAYING TAX

Washington. D. c., Sept. 21.-stock
brokers who have protested against a
proposed special tax Of $50 a year will
not escape assessment. Democrats of
the ways and means committee de-
termined today to include them in the
war revenue bill which is now being
perfected.
Arguments that brokers should not
be taxed because stock exchanges now
are closed were not regarded as suf-
ficient to entitle brokers to exemptions.
inasmuch as 1t is probable that the ex-
changes again will be operating before
the need for war revenue has passed.

Those in London closely following the
war base their chief hope of the allies
IN a possible development of the Ger
man right wing under General Won
Kluck, who heretofore has shown HIM
self a master of strategy. Renewed ac-
tivity on the part of the allied cavalry
and a significant movement of allied
troops to the north and west of the
German line of communication together
with a possible advance of fresh allied
troops from the northwest through
Amiens, gives expression of these
hopes.
Eye witnesses n surgeons testify
to a paradox on the modern battlefield
the recurring frequency of hand to
hand fighting, which so many military
men predicted was q thing of the past.
Bayonet wounds NJ other cumulative
evidence. however, show that the sold
iers have beAa engaged in a death grip,
during which they resorted to their side
arms and in some cases to their hands.
Another fact which stands out amidst
h varied accounts of the hostilities
is the utter p~rodigality With which the
Germans throw forward man after man
in close formation in an attempt to
carry q position. The tremendous losses
they ave sustained seem not to have
changed these tactics.

disposed persons in Kimball are
aroused over the announcement that a
fight Of bull dogs has been scheduled
to take place here tomorrow. 1t is be-
ieved steps will be taken to prevent

the result of a visit to Kilmball by q
man named O'Brien. who is the owner
of a bull dog with a long fighting rec
ord. He offered to bet $50 that his
u dog could whip any animal of it's

which he believes is the greatest fight
er in the state or northwest, covered
the bet. 1t is probable the authorities
will step in and prevent the spectacle.

London, Sept. 2O-If reliance can be placed on the British and
French assertions that the right wing of the German armies which
stretch across northeastern France is slowly falling back, then the
battle of the Aisne seems likely to follow the course of the battle Of
the Marine, for there it was the German right which first fell back
across the river.
Along the 15omle front, the rear Of which is Scared with
graves of thousands already killed, two armies, comprising millions
of men, rapidly approaching exhaustion and standing in trenches
deep with water, await an opportunity to drive a wedge through
the opposing line and thus end the terrible strain which must last as
long as Emperor Williams troops hold their now strongly en-
trenched positions, and as long as the allied forces can face the MUIR
derous hail of projectiles from the hidden batteries of their OPP
ponents.
Both the British and the French realize that it will take almost
a superhuman effort to win, the strength of the German position
being emphasized in almost every dispatch from the front.
