TO LIMIT DEBATE
 ON WAR REVENUE BILL.
Prospects Point to an Early Passage
 of the Meaure.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Early dis position in the house of the war reve- nue bill to raise approximately $1O5,- 900, 900 was forecast today when Ma 'jority Leader Underwood announced that it would be brought up Thursday under a rule limiting debate to four hours.
 Republican members in the brief time allotted them will attack the measure along the line suggested to- day in minority report filed by Rep resentative Payne of New York pro- testing that there was mo occasion for panic. hasty action or headlong action to heap heavier burdens upon the people" The democrats were charged with extravaganza and failure of the new tariff to meet expectations of it's framers.
 The majority report of the ways and means committee filed with the Dill today declared that the new tar if laws and other sources of revenue would have yielded sufficient govern ment revenue had 1t not been for the in customs receipts. Prospects for early passage of the bill when ii reaches the senate, administration leaders pointed out tonight, seemed to be more favorable in view of the capit- ulation of the democrats in the rivers and harborS fight. Republican sena- tors propose. however. to debate it thoroughly in order to make record against the fiscal policy of the party in power.

 IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE
New York City s1oo,ooo,Ooo Loan Closed with Large Oversubscription-

New York, Sept. 22.Closing of the New York city s1O0,0O0,000 loan with a large over-subscription. increased firmness in foreign exchange, slight stiffening of money rates and dras- tic cut in the dividend of the Anaconda Copper Mining company were the chief features of financial interest to- day. In respect to fundamental con- ditions the domestic situation con- tinued to show signs of improvement, it being that the gold pool, with its broad scope, is certain to assist in easing the international money mar ket.
 Complete details regarding the city loan were still lacking, because of the large number of subscriptions received but it was learned that total applica- tions largely exceeded the amount of the offering. Exchange on London rose to 4.97 1-2 for cables and 4.96 1-2 for sight drafts, the rise being due mainly to lighter offerings of grain bills and other forms of exchange Francs on Paris and marks on Der lin were again nominally quoted, with minor dealings

At the Battle Front. Sept. 22s via Paris. 6.01 p. ml-Not a moments re- spite was given last night to the Ger man forces entrenched along the go Aisne and Disc and extending into the Woerve district.
 The batteries of the allied forces never ceased firing all night, although their activity diminished somewhat after sundown.
 The Germans occupying the trench es kept Constantly on the alert, but until 9 o'clock this morning no az gressive move was started from the allies line facing them. They all the allied batteries seemed to open fire together and every point along the front became very active.
 At the western end of the line the allied infantry gathered in the trench es and simultaneously at various points cropped out and advanced cautiously in wide open lines towards the Ger man positions. The French and Brit tsh Sn several occasions succeeded in surprising and driving back the occu- pants of the German trenches. but only after the most stubborn fighting and after heavy losses both to the |attacksng and, to the defendinf forces. In every instance the allied troops retained the ground captured and inn mediately dug themselves in. A
 Further east the Germans them selves developed a strong attack, but were beaten back with the bayonet, only to return again and again, to be finally driven off to their original positions. The allied commanders were able to give the troops who had been occupying the advance firing line a welcome rest, pushing to the front fresh brigades of batteries hiehtrto . held in reserve and which were only too anxious to come into actual con- tact.
 Military experts estimate that near ly two million men are now in the zone where the battle has been in progress ten days.

ENGLISHMEN SHOCKED
 BY SINKING OF CRUISERS, Vessels Sunk Were of Old Type. But
 Still Very Useful.

London. Sept 22, s.15 p. m-The daring raid of German submarines across the North sea, which resulted this morning in the sinking of the three British cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and Greasy, has momentarily diverted attention from the battlefelds of the continent.
 This was one of the things which the British navy has been led to ex- pect, for the Germans have quite frankly avowed that their plan was to reduce British naval superiority by submarine raids and the sowing of mines, and they have been training their young officers for sallies of this kind.
 Nevertheless. it came as a shock to Englishmen that big ships such as those sunk could so easily be attacked and destroyed, while the German fleet has been able to remain in safety in it's mine and fortress protected harbors.
 However, the British fleet must keep the seas to insure Great Britain's food supply, and in doing so must run great risks.
 The ships which were sunk, while obsolete, still were very useful ves- sels, and it is little satisfaction to England to know that her cruiser fleet is still double in number that of the Germans, and that, as Winston Spen- cer Churchill. first lord of the admir- alty, has said, she will be able to build during the war three fighting ships to Germany's one.
 No Change in Battle Fronts.
 Meantime, there have been no i'm portant changes on the battle fronts in northern France. The opposing armies continue to gain 8 little here and lose a little there. These gains might tel in the long run. but have rot brought any decisive result for either side
 The French official report issued this afternoon again lays some stress or the announcement that an advance is being made by the allies left wing or the right bank of the River Disc, from which point both the public and tn, military experts look for first indica tion of how the battle is likely to end.
 Germans Forced to Give Ground.
 Although the official reports do no go beyond saying that the German have been forced to give ground be fore the French attacks and speak o Noyon and the district around tha city as the center of the operations some correspondents describe the al lies left as extending from just yves of Noyon to as far north as Lecatelei from which point or Peronne the ney army, of which there have been S many reports. but no confirmation. i supposed to be operating, to threate the German right wing.

whether the Germans or the allies hold the commanding positions here. The allies had the plateau few days ago, but the German official report claims it has been retaken. together with the village of Bethney.
 Desperate Action Near Rheims. In the center between Rheims and Scuain, which the French occupied early in the week, there has been
 more desperate fighting. the Germans taking the offensive and, according to the French reports, being repulsed. The Germans also have made some at tacks in the Woevre district without success, but they have succeeded in again crossing the Lorraine frontier and occupying Donestre. to the south of Blamont.
 French Capture Prisoners. The French have captured addition al prisoners and supply trains. The Russians have followed up their suc- cesses in Galicia. where a third great battle is about to begin, if it has not already begun, by capturing the inn portant fortress of Jaroslau. on the bRiver San. just north of Przemysl, (which they are surrounding.
