Y ONDON, April 2G.-GO;3O p. n.y.
Il The tremendous battle begun by
the German attack on the allied arch
like front around Ypres in the plains
of Flanders continues with undimlu-
ished fury, and England, like the rest
Of Europe, is awaiting the outcome
with undisguised anxiety

Recruiting Increases.
While the majority of those capable
of forming an opinion believe that the
Germans, by the stroke they have de-
livered against the British, French
and Belgians, are once again aiming
at Dunkirk and Calais there are those
who believe that It is only a feint in
force to draw the allied reserves,
while preparations are being made for
an attack at some other point in the
long line. Whatever are the inten-
tons of the Germans, they certainly
made successful coup, which, while
it did not break, did dent the allies

NNUSKOGEE, April 26.-Develop-
lfl meut of waterways and the nat
u1al resultant transportation competi-
tion, and not regulation by the inter
state commerce commission or other
bodies, offers the escape of the United
States from excessive railroad freight
rates, according to Senator Joseph r..
Ransdcll Of Louisiana, chairman OF
the senate committee on rivers ana
harbors and president of the National
Rivers and llarbors association, who
addressed the Southern Commercial
congress here tonight.
Senator Ransdell pointed out that
he was not an opponent of railroads,
"fOr our railroads have been the
greatest civilizers the world has
known.
But the shippers and the con-
sumcrs of this country are entitled to
the use of the waterways God has
given Them" he said, and such COM
petition is the proper way to regulate
our road"
The chief advantage of water
transportation is its great Cheapness
compared to rail- AS an example,
eight million tons of freight passed
through the Saulte ste. Marie last
year at an average cost of .6S of
mill compared with a rail rate of .73
of a cent This same relative differ
encc exists on all well-improved
waterways.
No Chance for Distances.
another typical case is the rail
rate from New Orleans, on the Illinois
Central, to Hammond, La, a distance
of 5S miles which is - 12 cents

WAsHlNGToN, April 2s.-Com-
w plete preliminary estimates
from all internal revenue collection
districts received at the treasury de-
partment indicate that the individual
and corporation income tax this year
will not only come up TO the original es-
timatcs Of eighty million dollars but
probably will exceed that sum
This is the most welcome bit of
Information that has come 10 the
ears of treasury officials i'm many
months. II the estimate is borne out
the prospective issue of Panama ca
nal bonds to swell the slowly sinking
general fund of the treasury may be
delayed longer than many students
OF the governments financial coudi-
ton have thought possible.
II was said tonight that the estimate
put the amount TO be collected at
SSOO3j, 600, but officials are confident
that results will show several mil
lions more. This prospect is ospcc-
tally pleasing to the administration iu
view Of predictions that the war IN
Europe and the new tariff would com
binc TO prevent large return.
Estimates Of returns from CorpO-
ratiOns do not Indicate so much in
come from this source as was looked
for, but the loss has been more than
offset on the individual side. II is
understood that the year will show
more individual taxablos than last
year. when about three hundred and

for the fiscal year 10 date iu excess Of
the receipts for the same period
