TERRIFIC ARTILLERY FIRE

April 30, t;20 a. m.)--The official
communication issued tonight by the
war office says
"To the north of the Nlemen the

On the whole front of our contact

Summary of Var
NeUs of Yesterday

Sporadic attacks characterize the
campaign in Belgium and France and
on the whole the troops have re-
mained comparatively quiet in the
past twenty-four hours The Germans
have been repulsed at two points
by the Belgians north of Ypres, and
by the French at Les Eparges
The British and French conti1ue
their efforts In the Ypres section but
the Germans claim to have repelled
these assaults and brought the num-
ber Of guns captured up to sixty three
Nor do the reports Of the operations
in Poland and the Carpathians record
any movements having any decisive
effect on the campaign In the east.
The heavy guns of the opposing forces
continue to shell the positions but so
far as the public is Informed there
has been no infantry fighting to com
pare with that of a few weeks ago
The Dardanelles is the central point
Of interest. The British and French
landing forces, according to the brief
reports from the British war office,
have succeeded in securing o firm
foothold on the Gallipol peninsula
and ON the Asiatic side of the strait
These eXpeditionary forces are said in
some quarters to number 10000 men,
but II Is hardly considered likely that
this number has yet been put ashore
The southern section Of the peninsula
has been occupied and entrenched and
a steady, though probably slow, ad-
vance is being made.
The British chancellor Of the ex-
chequer has introduced in the house
of commons his measures for con
trolling the liquor traffic.
These consist of proposals for
doubling the duties on spirits quad
rupling the duties on wines and an in
crease in the tax on beer. These
measures have yet to be accepted by
parliament before they can be put into
effect.

BY VOTE OF SO TO 5
Belief Prevails That Measure
Must Be Greatly Modified
Before II viii BE Enacted
Into Law,

London, April 80 O. y. m)--rhe
proposals Introduced IN the house of
commons today By David Lloyd
George, chancellor Of the exehequer,
to double the duty on spirits, quadru-
pie the duties on wines and to insti-
tute an increase by graduated tax on
beer--to encourage the use Of lighter
beers--were strongly opposed, and 1t
Is generally believed that the new tax
es viii have TO be moderated before
parliament will accept them.
The O'Brienites, as protest
against an additional taxation on
Irish whiskies. brought about the first
division in the house since the out
break of the war by taking the un-
usual course of voting against the
provisional resolutions bringing the
taxes into fdrce at once to prevent
Withdrawals from bond while parlia-
meht is dealing with the matter. The
resolution relating 10 spirits was
adopted by a vote Of SO TO the mi
nority being composed OF O'Brentes.
Nationals Also Protest.
The nationals also protested against
the measure hut did not vote. The
unionists who withheld criticism until
all the facts could be placed before
them, also abstained from voting
Usually these provisional resolu-
tions are carried without division, for
should parliament refuse to sanction
the taxes they are refunded TO those
who may have paid them.

ity of the wOrkmen, lured away by
drink, were not putting their best into

chancellor has promised TO place in
the hands Of the members a series Of
reports OF Independent investigators,
on whose findings the government de-
cided to take the action II has
Besides the Irish opposition to the
spirit duties many members oppose
the new wine taxes, on the ground
that they strike az France, Australia
and South Africa. The proposed APP
pointment Of board OF control and
the proposal TO take over for canteen
purposes the saloons in the munitions
