to raise 205,000.000 annually through
income, Inheritance, munitions. liquor.
corporation stock and miscellaneous
taxes. Senator Simmons. Chairman OF
the Finance Committee, will open de-
bate on the measure and he has been
assured by Republican leaders who
propose to make. the bill the target for
vigorous political assault that they
can finish their attack In four or t1re
days at the most. Sometime, however,
will be taken by Democratic senator's
who oppose certain features or the DILL
Underwood Opposed.
Senator Underwood will oppose the
creation Of 4 tariff commission and the
proposed increased tariff duties on
dyestuffs on tho ground that both are
against Democratic doctrine.
II. these fights develop serious COM
plications the revenue measure may
not get to conference until the middle
Of next week.
Some OF the house leaders do not
like some Of the amendments 10 the
bill. Representative kitchln. the ma
jorlty leader, is particularly vigorous
in his denunciation Of the senate
changes and In conference some of
them may be sacrificed. The recon-
meudation for bond issu" OF $l3O,-

can emergency. house leaders say, will
be accepted. having originally been
suggested by the ways and means
committee.
The great shipping bill will go to
conference Tuesday and little trouble
Is anticipated.
Republican and Democratic leaders
alike assert that odds and ends OF leg
islation still pending will be entirely
overlooked in the final drive for ad-
journment and that nothing can pre-
vent congress getting away after the
revenue and general deficiency bills
are passed.

ACOUNTER PROPOSAL
Wilson, In Telegram, Defends
His Plan For Settlement
Strong Statement

CLEVELAND. Aug. GOV. G. Lee,
President OF the Brotherhood Of Rail-
road Trainmen, predicted victory for
the men in the rail dispute at his home
here tonight Immediately after his re-
turn from Washington. He said:
Il do not see how he roads can get
away from accepting arbitration. That
is the Presidents plan and certainly
the railroads are not greater that the
government.
WASHINGTON. Aug 2n-President
Wilson's week OF conferences with
ranking officials of the railroads and
leaders of their employees. threatening
a nation wide strike. arc believed by
all parties to the controversy to have
brought the situation To point where
decisive Developments may be expect
ed within few days.
While the negotiations took no act
ual forward step today. the President
replied indirectly TO contentious OF
the road officials that the principle OF
arbitration would be endangered by
his plan for putting the eight hour
basic day into effect while a commits
sion investigates its practicability and
passes upon other points at issue. In
q telegram made public at the White
House the President declared he held
firmly to arbitration as a principle. and
that his plan strengthened rather than
weakened II. He also said that some
means must be found to prevent the
existing situation from ever arising
again.
Meantime the road officials. who
have tentatively refused TO accept Mr.
Wilson's proposal, continued confer
ences among themselves. The labor
leaders. who already have approved
the proposal. marked time awaiting a
definite decision from the employers.
To Preserve Arbitration.
The Presidents telegram defending
his plan was in reply to an appeal
from George Pope. president Of the
National Association Of Manufacture
erS, urging that the principle Of arbi,
tration be preserved in the strike ne
gotiations. Mr.. Pope's telegram fol-
lows:

ports from Saloniki show that the
general engagement which began FIJI

an extended front from Florina, near
Monastir, to the river Struma. Thls

General Cordonnier commanding the
French. The operations have been
long expected as part of the Allies

They follow the arrival OF General
Cordonnier after extended conferences
with officials here.
A6vices received IN Paris indicate
that the Germans and Bulgarlans are
seeking to anticipate the movement
by taking the offensive on the le1t'
where the Serbians had moved up 10
within Is miles of Monastir, holding
Florina as an observation post. Ihelr
orders were not 10 attempt 10 retain
Florina if they were attacked. The
Serbian war office says the Bulgarians
were thrown back on their old posi-
tions, but that later the Serbians, fol-
lowing instructions, evacuated Florlna,
which the Bulgarians then occupied.
The Serbians retired slowly and Ia
ter delivered heavy counter-attack
against a large Bulgarian force, de-
bouching from F1orina toward Ban1cat.
Fighting continues in this region.
