THE WAR TODAY

German assaults in force on the
French lines are continuing and have
been successful in regaining ground
previously lost on a front two-thIrds Of
a mile long between Fey -En-H -Haye and
the Moselle. The French official state
ment Of today admits this, while re-
cordiug the breakdown OF attacks
along other parts Of the front
In southern Poland the Russian ar
mics driven over the Galician border
are fighting determinedly TO check the
Teutonic thrust at Warsaw, The most
recent Austrian official statement ad-
mits that the Russians have been
strongly attacking in several sectors.
Petrograd tells of desperate engage
ments between the Vistula and the
Bug rivers and claims to have checked
the Austro-Germaus at different
points, but comedies a retirement in
east Gallcia from the Gnila Lipa to
the Zlota Lipa. Vienna declares that
at what seems TO have been the chief
point Of the Teutonic attack in Poland
near KrasDik, the heights to the north
were taken.
A Turkish statement declares the
Entente allies lost heavily in an at
tempt to land reinforcements on the
Galnpoli peninsula and that the effort
was frustrated.
Twelve persons were killed and
eight injured on the British steamer
Angle Californian. from Montreal, by
shell fire from a German submarine.
The steamer arrived at Queenstown
with the dead and injured on board.
Petrograd reiterates the claim that
a Russian submarine sank a German
battleship Of the Deutschland class in
the Baltic last Friday. This is semi
officially denied in Berlin.
The latest advices from Berlin con
firms recent inhmations that the Ger
man reply to the American note may
not be delivered. for several days, dur
ing which time an agreement may be
effected between the naval extremists
and those fayoring a compromise as to
Germany's submarine policy, it IS
hoped.

Every dollar of the hundreds and
thousands paid by trust companies to
the government under the provisions
of the war tax" law may have to be
returned because of democratic care
lessness. The oversight lay in the
failure to properly define bankers.
The blunder is emphasized by the fact
that but a few months before the
war tax" was levied, Congress had
appropriated thousands OF dollars to
pay back to trust companies refund
ordered by federal courts following
litigation on the same question. Sec-
ton of the war tax" declares that
bankers ''shau pay 81 for every 81 600
OF capital used or employed. 1t
then defines who shall be termed a
banker" under the act. The def
milton of "banker'' is Identical with
that which the federal courts but a
short time before held inadequate to
render trust companies liable to such
tax.
