GUNS HAMMER
AT S1ANlsLAU
Russians Four Miles
from City-Gain
North of Dniester.

London, Aug. 10.-The Russians
swept forward to-day to within four
miles of Stanislau and brought their
heavy guns up for the bombardment
of the southern Galician fortress city.
Swinging southwest from Tysmien-
ica, Letchitsky's troops captured the
town of Chryplin, at the junction Of
the Stanislau-Kolomea and Stanislau-
Nadvorns railroads, and pressed be-
yond that point to the river Czarna
Bistritza. Another detachment penc-
trated due west along the wagon road
from Tysmienica and took up posi-
tions the same distance from Stsnis'
lau.
Tonight the Russian guns are pour
ing a deluge of shells into the city,
while engineers are rapidly replacing
the bridges over the stream which
were destroyed by the retreating
enemy two days ago.
important DnieSter Move.
Meanwhile Letchitsky's right wing
has carried out an even more impor-
tant operation north of the Dniester.
After forcing the Koropiec River yes
terday these forces moved westward
along the Observation-Disclosures rail-
way line, reached the Zlota-Lipa
River, north Of its confluence with the
Dniester, and to-day forded it at sew
eral points.
This move is highly significant. The
Dniester, particularly since the rains
of early summer brought it to food
heights, has constituted the greatest
protection to the right flank of Won
Bothmer's army along the west bank
Of the Strips.
Bothmer's New Peril.
The Russians have partly overcome
this difficulty by extending their Of
fensive south of Buczacz along the
northern bank of the Dniester. Mon
asterzyska has already been fsnked
by the Russian successes Of yester-
day and to-day. and if Letchitsky is
able TO continue his advance north
and northwest of the line he now
occupies Won Bothmer will find the
Russians within striking distance of
his southern flank and rear. This will
necessitate the further contraction of
his lines and double the peril TO which
he is exposed by the north and south
squeeze Of the Russians.
Il is believed that Letchitsky will
follow up the capture of Stanislau
with quick drives on Halitz and
Stryj. Both are important points be-
tween the present Russian lines and
Lemberg. From Hslitz railroads con-
meet with Stanislau. Lemberg and the
east and west line running through
Stryj controls railway lines running
from Lemberg through the Carpa-
thians into Hungary. With his right
wing il is expected that Letchitsky
will continue his efforts to force the
whole Dniester line and cut off the
southern retreat OF Won Bothmer's
army.

WIDER
EXPORT TAXES
Democrats Seek to
Reach All Sales to
Foreign Powers.

Washington, Aug. 1o.-A net proht
excise tax on all manufacturers selling
goods TO foreign governments, as a
substitute for the munitions tax IN 'ne
pending revenue bill, is being seriously
considered by Democrats of the Senate
Finance Committee. 1t probably VIII
be agreed on tomorrow for suomls-
sion 70 the Democratic caucus, which
held tonight the first of series OF
meetings to pass on committee changes
in the revenue measure.
The tax on munitions Of war, includ-
ing copper products, as proposed IN the
House bill, has been giving Democratic
Senate leaders considerable trouble
They have been told by experts that
the substitute virtually agreed on
would not constitute an export tax and
would be constitutional. Although di-
rected against general exports to for
eign governments, 1t is expected thae
the proposed plan will apply particu-
larly to manufacturers who have MADE
large fortunes out Of the European
war and will add many millions to the
revenue of the government.
Graded Tax on Profits.
The plan under consideration is sub
stantially as follows:
That every person or corporation en-
gagged in the business Of selling goods,
wares or merchandise OF any descrlp-
tion to any foreign government, or to
the agents or representatives OF such
foreign governments, shall pay for each
taxable year an excise tax OF one per
cent on tine net profits of such business
in excess Of ten per cent of the capital
invested. and not in excess OF twenty
per cent; two per cent on net prohts
in excess of twenty and not in excess
of thirty; three per cent on net profts
in excess of thirty but not in excess or
forty per cent; four per cent on net
profits in excess of forty but not IN
excess Of fifty per cent, and five per
cent on net profits in excess OF nifty
per cent
Provides for Retaliation.
The committee agreed to-day TO an
amendment authorizing the President
70 take retaliatory action against ma
tions which prohibit the importation OF
any article the product of the soil or
industry of the United States and not
injurious TO health or morals. Ihe
President would be empowered to pro-
hibit importation into the United
States of similar articles from onend-
ing countries, or other articles In case
none of similar character were I'M
ported.
Another Amendment agreed to would
admit all dyestuffs and coal tar medici-
nal derivatives free of duty during the
European war, and would postpone
operation of the proposed tarin on
such commodities until the close OF the
war, or such time as their general I'M
portation shall be renewed.

DOUGLAS HEARING
DEVELOPS FIGHT
Especial to The Republican,

DOUGLAS, April 19.-One of the
hardest fights ever waged before the
corporation commission took place here
yesterday, when representatives of the
Southern Pacific, Ell Paso & South
western and the Arizona Eastern an
peared before that body, and sought to
Show that they would be unable to
maintain through Pullman service he
tween this place and Phoenix.
In spite of the fact that the estab-
hshing of sleeper service to the cant
tai city would be a great boon to the
people of Douglas, it was possible to
find several witnesses who thought the
projected service should not be estab
lshed d. A. Richardson candidate

the service as it is at present consti

Doan. an attorney, but not a candidate
LOT oIflce testified in the same strain.
POSSIBLY the best witness Assistant
Attorney General Leslie Hardy, who is
! handling the case for the state put on
the stand, was A. A. Belts rate expert
Tor the commission. Belts stated that
ne had had fifteen years of railroad
experience and was qualified to state
that IN his opinion the service was
wholly inadequate. He reasoned thar
as long as the Southern Pacific had
maintained a sleeper service from
rhoenX TO Tucson for ten years, it
could be assumed that this service was
bringing in satisfactory returns to the
road. III this was not the case il was
reasonable to believe that the service
would have been discontinued ere this
lie also was of the opinion that in case
Pullman service was put into effect be-
tween Douglas and Phoenix, it would
turn out to be as profitable as the
aforementioned service
On the other hand. Attorney Rul-
iard, lighting the case for the railroads.
raised the following contentious:
l. That the statutes of Arizona do
not provide for the change of eauip-
ment, except freight cars.
z. That the railroads in CARRYING

carriers and not common carriers. For
that reason. the Arizona Eastern.
Southern Pacific and Ell Paso &. South-
western in their answer set forth their
objection to the Jurisdiction of the cor

Still another point raised by the rail-
roads was that they can not afford TO
put on through sleeper service They
assert that despite the large population
OF the Douglas and Warren districts
the average number of passengers per
day is very small in fact they produced
figures to show that about five people
