BY G. G. LINCOLN,
Courier Correspondent

Washington, D. G., Dec. 13. Sen
ator Kenyon today introduced reso-
luton to the effect that IL any taxes
are to be levied by congress especially
to provide for national defense pro-
gram, they shall be levied on arms and
munitions of war. The preamble of his
resolution sets forth the fact that the
general welfare of the country has
been imperiled by the manufacture
and shipment Of munitions to the bel
ligerents in Europe, that few manu-
facturers making the munitions have
made tremendous profits therefrom
though there has been no profit to the
country at large. And that prosperity
based on profit making munitions to
kill people cannot be lasting or salts
factory.
He also introduced bill providing
that no clearance papers shall be
granted to any vessel leaving this
country loaded with munitions Of war
destined for nations engaged in war,
which in addition to this cargo, carries
passengers. II such a law was enacted,
a disaster such as that of the Lusitania
would not be possible, Senator Ken
yon said today.

Nation Doing It's Best to
Remain Neutral Despite
Pressure of Allies
BULGARIAN ARMY
TO CROSS THE LINE
Entente Forces May Try an
Outflanking Movement
Over Greek Soil

London, Dec. 13.-The difficult ef.
fort of Greece to maintain neutrality
in the face of the allied retreat on
Salonik and the pursuit of Bulgar.
ians and Germans continues to be the
chief matter Of interest at the entente
capitals. The latest decision OF
Greece, according to Athens dis
patches, is to withdraw all consider
able bodies Of her troops impartially
from danger of contact with entente
troops in Saloniki and the Germanic
allies on the northern front, leaving
only small groups Of soldiers for
police purposes.
So far is is known, the attacks on
the British in Macedonia thus far have
been delivered entirely by Bulgarians,
without German assistance. A dis
ians left more than 5000 dead or
saults on the British line.
.On the second attack the dis
patch continues "our combined fire
Of artillery, rifles and rapid firers
was opened on the advancing masses
at a range of about 500 yards. The
Bulgarians faced the murderous hail
at a run for 500 yards, then broke in
to flights which quickly became q
heller skelter rout.''
To outfIank Foe.
The possibility Of various nanking
movements through Greek territory is
opened by the Greek decision to per-
nit the country to become field for
the belligerents. 1t is rumored, for
example. that British troops already
are landing at Kavala and that the
first detachments Of Serbians have
been brought around from Durazzo,
Albania, to Saloniki
Allied squadrons continue to pay
close attention TO the Greek coasts,
and restrictions on Greek commerce
are unhalted.
In the other fields of activity there
ere few developments of large import
snce. Russian troops have defeated
Persian rebels and are now nearing
Hamadan Allied troops are still
carrying on successful operations
against Turkish troops in the Sea
of Marmora.
On the western front minor sue
cesses are reported for British artil-
iery ana air sQuadrOns.
The Italian government has re-
ceived vote Of confidence by large
majority. In the German parliament
discussion of food problems is being
continued.
Relaxation of the censorship in
England naturally meets with enthusi-
astic approval from the press, al.
though it is not yet understood clear
ly how far this freedom Is likely to
extend
