finder by a mine in the North Sea,

ed and 242 missing.
Paris officially reports that the al
lies have advanced their left wing
without energetic opposition by the
Germans and that several engage
ments on the Oureq river have favor
ed the French and British.
The British official bureau says that
the plans of the French commander in
chief, General Joffre, are being stead
lily carried out, and that the allies nave
succeeded in forcing back in a north
eastern direction the German forces
opposed to them.
Apart from the announcement that
the German forces have fallen back
before the offensive tactics of the al
lies on the line from Naturalization
douin to Verdun, the most interesting
report is contained in a dispatch 10
the London News from Boulogne in
which the French commander General
Pau, is given as authority that the al
lies have won a victory at Percy-Sur'
Disc in which the imperial guard un-
der the crown prince of Germany ID
alleged to have been annihilated by a
British force.
WEDNESDAY.
Official reports from both Paris and
London indicate successful movements
by the allied armies against the Ger
mans.
The Russian troops still are engaged
in fierce combats with the Austrian
forces in the Rawa district, Russian
Poland.
France that it is sending
reserves to Morocco to release regu-
lars now there for service with the
army in France.
Wounded soldiers who have reached
Paris tell of the severity of the fight
ing in the Champagne country and
report heavy losses.
Christobel Pankhurst, the militant
leader has ranged herself on the side
of the prime minister in the present
critical condition of the country.
With hundreds of thousands of men
engaged on both sides, the battle now
in full swing to the east of Paris prom
ises to be the most important of the
campaign up to the present.
In reply to a request by the Germans
for an armistice of "a hours to bury
the dead and care for the wounded the
French authorities are reported to
have sent this message: I'VE grant
you that time to get out of France"

Soft Drinks Hit.

From a tax on proprietary medicines
and preparations of all kinds and on
soft drinks it is hoped to raise approx
imately $40, 000, 900, while a small addi-
tional revenue tax on distilled liquors,
probably not more than Is cents a gal
lon, would bring the total tax on whis-
kies, ETC., to $1.25 a gallon. From these
sources it is estimated $75,000,00 0 will
be assured.
1t is improbable that Their, will be
any stamp tax on commercial instru-
ments, such as checks, drafts, convey
ances, mortgages, etc. Nearly all
members of the committee agree that
such a tax would require too much ad-
ministrative detail.

Tax MOVING Pictures.

Taxation of moving picture films,
as well as theater and amusement
tickets, has been suggested. The lat
ter would include moving picture the
aters at a fraction of a cen per ticket,
to be paid by the amusement licensee.
Cut Bank pioneer press. [volume] (Cut Bank, Mont.) 1909-current, 1914-09-11
Tax Cigars-Not Tobacco.

The majority of the committee also
oppose an additional tax on tobacco
because of the burden it now bears.
There is some urgency, however, for a
graduated tax on cigars, according to
value, from which, it is asserted, large
increases in revenue could be procur-
ed.
Taxation of gasoline is s~trenuously
objected to. Opposition, it al stated,
lies chiefly in the fact that it would
be expensive to collect, necessitating
government agents in refineries.
Among new subjects for taxation
seriously discussed by the committee
were monthly and weekly magazines
and periodicals, including magazines
circulated through Sunday newspa'
pers. 1t was proposed to levy a tax on
circulation at a given figure per thou
sand.
A tax on automobiles also is being
considered, either an excise tax on the
manufactured machine, a tax based
on the horsepower, or a tax on cars
owned by individuals.

EWCAMES AHEAD
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Manager Hills Schedule Books
but Four Contests and Only
Two Teams.

The Rock Island high school basket
ball team did not have a game last
night owing to the fac. that Freeport
cancelled the date because of a mixup.
And there Will be no game next Sat
urday according to the schedule which
Manager A. u. Hill has arranged.
Almost al; of the dates on the high
school schedule are vacant with two
or three exceptions and it appears
now that very few games will be
played unless the management of the
team takes some action regarding the
completion of a satisfactory schedule.
Local high school students have al
ways supported the teams and ath-
letic events at the school and are
anxious that some fast teams be dated
for the Rock Island high school. Both
games with Muscatine have been can.
celIed and on:y four games now appear
on the schedule, two against Mon
mouth and two against Davenport.

have a franchise in the Central Base
ball association. providing it Will make
the usual 5000 deposit as a guarantee
to finish the season, required OF all
clubs in that circuit, and pay Kewanee
$500 for its team. That was the deci-

cided to send a committee of three. to
include President VI. L. Justice and
Manager Beldin Hill OF Cedar Rapids.

draw for any deficit IN training season

unreasonable weather early in the
season. He also wants a salary. Nee
