WILSON RETURNS
READY To WORK
WILL ASSUME ACTIVE COMMAND
OF HELPING STRANDED
AMERICANS.
BITTER GRIEF CANNOT STOP HIM

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-President
Wilson returned to Washington at
O'Clock from his journey to Rome, Ca,
to bury Mrs. Wilson. With him came
Secretary and Mrs. McAdoo, Mr.. and
Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, Miss Margaret
Wilson, Prof. Stockton Axson, Mrs.
Wilson's brother, and other relatives.
The trip from Rome was unevent-
full. On the advice of DR.. Grayson, his
physician, the president spent most of
the time on the observation platform
of his car to get the breeze.
Tomorrow the president plans to
plunge into work and to assume ac-
tive command again of the work of
helping Americans stranded in Europe
and of bringing about better business
conditions in the United States. He
will see the members of the federal
reserve board, delegation of the rep
resentatives Of the shipping interests,
and several business men.

is new and dangerous fire in Fourth

everywhere in the district small fires
are breaking out with more frequen-

Operations on Extensive Scale
Is Imminent Along the
French Border.

BRUSSELS, via Paris, Aug. IL Is ..
m.)-on the report that operations on
an extensive scale were imminent, a
correspondent by permission Of the
war control, made a circuit along 20
miles Of the Belgian front, visiting the
extreme advance and talking with the
officers and men.
The Beigians are on the alert, as
important bodies Of German cavalry
are making their way through the
country above Liege, proceeding in the
direction of Tongres and st. Trond.
The impression Of the correspondent
is that no heavy fighting is likely in
Belgian Limburg, where the Germans
have little or no infantry. BY the op-
position offered by the Belgian troops
at Liege, the Germans lost precious
time which was profitabIy employed
by the French and British in concen-
trating masses at convenient vern-
berg.
All day forces have been so disposed
as to be supported by fortified masses
at many Of the chief points, but little
or nothing has been done around Brus-
sells and it is thought that city is be-
ing used as bait to attract the Ger
mans.

HOW INCREASE

ONE WANTS INCOME TAX INCREASED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-How to
raise something like $100,000,O00 to
offset the loss to the United States in
important duties expected to result
from the war in Europe, will be the
subject of conference tomorrow se-
tween Secretary McAdoo and Repre-
sentative Underwood, chairman of the
house ways and means committee.
Treasury experts completed tonight
a statement showing imports from the
war zone. They did not hazard an es-
innate of probable loss in revenues,
though it was admitted that the total
might be in the neighborhood of $780,
100000 for the year. Figures also have
been prepared to demonstrate what
might be raised by increased taxes on
liquors and tobacco and by adding to
the income tax.
Representative Underwood and Sen
ator Simmons, chairman of the senate
finance committee, are making a thor
ough study of the situation, but will
not attempt to frame a definite plan
OF action until Secretary McAdoo has
outlined actual conditions. Then the
advice of President Wilson will be
sought.
