Press Camp, British Army in France, July 3.-(Via London, July 11.)-"It goes we'll, said General FOch, receiv- ing the Associated Press correspond ent, who came across from the Brit ish lines to see something of the French part in the battle of the SOmme.
 'It goes weIl!" was the phrase heard from French officers and soldiers.
 General Foch's Guickness and deci- sion of manner singularIy expresses the French spirit. While France was withstanding the blows of the Ger mans at Verdun and all the world looked in that direction. he was se- cretIy preparing a sledGe hammer blow in conjunction with the British in that part of the line hitherto conspicuous for it's quiet.
 'We were here and we went there, gaining more prisoners than our to- tai losses' he said. as. turning to a map on the wall in the sitting room headquarters, he swept his finger from the former French first line toward the salient formed by a turn in the Somme where the Germans have their backs to the river in front of Peronne. The gesture represented a depth of four miles, the largest gain the French have made on the western front since the trench warfare began.

OMNIBUS REVENUE
 BILL PASSES HOUSE
The Vote on Roll Call Was
 240 to 140

Washington. July 10.-The adminis- ing a tariff commission. imposing q protective tariff on dyestuffs repeal ing present stamp taxes and providing for new taxes on incomes. inheritances and war munitions profits, passed the House late today by vote of 24O to 40.
 During the closing hours of debate several amendments, providing for elimination of the bankers tax and modifying the tariff commission sec tion were adopted over the opposition of democratic leaders. On the final roll call the democrats voted solidly for the bill and were joined by 34 repub- ilcans, five progressive republicans, one independent and one socialist.
 The amendments adopted cut the sal aries of members of the tariff com mission from $1O,0O0 to S7500 annual ly; struck out the provision under which no member or former member of Congress could serve on the com mission and provided single appro- priation of $300,000 to pay expenses of the commission the first year in- stead of the bills stipulation of con- tinuing annual appropriation of that amount The entire section levying a tax of $1 for each 5000 of capital, sur plus and undivided profits held by bankers was stricken out.
 Many amendments proposed by the ways and means committee also were adopted, including one under which cigarette manufacturers must pay a special tax of 8 cents for every 10000 cigarettes.
 The bill, which now goes to the Sen- ate, increases the surtaX on incomes ranging from an additional 1 per cent on incomes between $20,000 and $40,- 900 to 10 per cent additional on those above S500,000 and taxes on transfers of estates valued at $50.000 or more and net profits of war munitions man ufacturers, with an exemption of those having less than 10 per cent profit. The new taxes are expected to yield S197,- 000,000 annually.
 The tariff commission would be com- posed of five members. no more than three to be of the same political party and would have broad powers of in- vestigation. The bill also carries an anti dumping provision to protect American producers from unfair for eign trade practices.

paratus. With the microphone you car hear submarine bell buoys six miles away and the propellers of ships still further. By the tone of the noise made by the screw of vessel you can tell her type. A destroyer makes a loud hum a cruiser is lower.
 "The sounding apparatus can be worked while we are running sub- merged and is let down through the bottom of the boat through tube equipped with valves. In this sub marine we can do everything under the surface that we can do on it. We can drop anchor while submerged cruise below the surface four days if necessary, or lie still on the bottom until our food and water gives out And you can believe me, that we can carry large quantity of both."
 Captain Koenig was asked how he and his men employed their time while making the voyage.
 Well" said he i've had phono- graphs. They were a source of much entertainment. We had about 100 rec ords. There were some American rag time songs, some marches and some dances. Selections from Peer Gynt are what we played to pass away the time at the bottom of the English channel. No. we didn't have record of Tip perary."
 The captain seemed to enjoy the ref erence to the English marching song.
 "Of course" he continued, ''all the men smoked while they were on deck. It is forbidden to smoke below deck in a submarine. There is the danger of fire and then, you know. there are all kinds of tobacco, good and bad. We read lot. too. l have aboard a library of 40 volumes. There is Shakespeare. Who wouldn't have Shakespeare in a I'll bet Shakespeare is more widely read in Germany than it is in England. And then I have some of Bret Harte. w. w. Jacobs sea tales, Mark Twain's Tnnocents Abroad and Charles Dickens. Oh, yes. have a very fine English library. No. haven't got Jules verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea- It requires too much imagination to read that.
 T am the oldest man on the boat I'm 49 and the youngest member of the crew is 21. Nearly all of us have left wives and children behind in Ger many. I am a native of Saxony, but my home has been in Bremen since 1SS3."
 Captain Koenig was today the recip- tent of hundreds of congratulatory tel egrams from all sections of the coun- try. Many of them came from German societies who were anxious to have the commander and his officers as guests at dinners and other functions The local German colony is already making arrangements to give the crew a celebration and an outing. Captain Koenig and his officers probably will be guests of honor at formal dinner, which it is planned to hold soon at the German club.

 Big guns which were silent and drawn forward by big tractors along routes thick with traffic. Making many turns in trying to compass some thing of the whole, the correspondents car proceeded, occasionally having an in- terval of a few hundred yards of clear way, to make up for the time lost when blocked by glut of transport. Rail- way trains were unloading more shells at the bases: shells, were being stacked beside the roads and in the fields; new roads were building; lines of light rail- way were being extended. There was the same scene of prodigious infantry as back as Verdun. but this time, in stead of being on the defensive it was overflowing on ground taken in the of fensive.
