Violent counter attacks by the Ger
mans on almost the entire line of the
French advance in the Somme region
show a change in the situation from
the earlier days of the Anglo French
offensive. In the beginning the Ger
mans concentrated their forces against
the British apparently considering the
operations of the French to the south
a sof small significance. But the
rapid movement Of the French troops
together with the Importance of the

has had the effect of changing the
German view and causing the Ger
man commanders to strengthen their
defences and forces along the line pro-
tecttng PerrOne and other important
strategic points.
Both ends Of the French line have
been under heavy attacks, but the
French, according to the official ac-
counts, have been able to put them
down, without the Germans making
any gains whatever. Meanwhile both
French and British are consolidating
their positions and are undoubtedly
making preparations for a repetition
Of the great bombardment which pre-
ceded the first impetuous rush.
While the situation in the Verdun
region remains comparatively quiet
there are heavy bombardments on both
sides of the Meuse No advances are
recorded by either French or German
The British official statement gives
few details, merely remarking that as
result of violent bomb fighting we
made further progress at certain points
in the main battle area"

The immensity of the Russian drive
against the Austrians and Germans
during the last month is indicated by
unofficial reports from Petrograd,
which say that the Austro- German
losses in the endeavor to stay the ad-
vance of General Brussiloffs armies,
total nearly half a million men, about
half of whom are prisoners. Not less
than 250 guns of various sizes and
70 machine guns and an immense
quantity of other booty have been
taken.
The Austrians admit a serious defeat
west of Kolomea, where they were
driven back nearly five miles.

ADMINISTRATION REVENUE
BILL DEBATE IN HOUSE,
Kitchen Makes Plea for 1t as a Nom
Partisan Preparedness Measure.

Washington, July 6.-The house to-
day began a four days debate on the
administration revenue bill, designed
to raise 100000 next year by a sur
tax on incomes and by taxes on in
her1tances and on war munitions
profits. Under a special rule final
vote will be taken before adjournment
Monday.
Majority Leader Kitchin opened the
debate with a plea that the bill be
passed as a non-partiSan preparedness
measure, since so large a part of the
revenue to he derived from it would
so to pay for army and navy in
creases. Republican leaders replied by
charging the administration with gross
extravaganza and by attacking as ill
advised the means now proposed to
meet the treasury situation.
Mr. Kitchin outlined in detail the
federal governments financial condi-
ton and the expenses that will have
to be met during the coming year. A
total of 1886, 100000, ne said, would be
needed to carry out the enormous ap-
preparation programme congress had
drawn up and the $4,000, 600 to be
raised by the revenue bill would leave
but $69, 100000 to be made up out Of
the general fund.
1--WE PROPOSE he continued, "to
take from the general balance fund,
which on June 80 was the largest by
many millions of any year for the last
eight years, the sum of $69 900, 900 and
then leave in the disbursing offices, or
to their credit, $50, 100000 to operate
the governments current expenses.
After taking out that $69,OGO,OOO to
make good the 1896, 100000 we will
then have over 100000, 900 in the gen
eraI balance fund
we propose to finance any possible
trouble with Mexico, or any other ma
ton, as this nation and all other ma
tions have always financed such emer-
gencies, by the issuance of bonds"
He added however, that congress
probably would not be called upon to
authorize the bond issue until just be-
fore adjournment of the session.
Representative Hill of Connecticut

puts a heavier burden of taxation upon
the American people than any other

public"

support it, "in view of its temporary

VERMONT GETS SMALL
HETTY GREEN TAX.
No Inheritance Tax on Property WiIIed
from Parents to Children.

Bellows Falls, Vt, July "a tax of
81, 1,250 is the extent of the fee which
Vermont may expect from the estate
of millions disposed of in the will of
Mrs. Hetty Green long known as
Americas wealthiest woman, in the
opinion of state and local officials who
read the provisions of her will today.
The document, which was filed for pro-
bate here after her burial yesterday,
because the mistress of finance main
tanned that the old family home in this
village constituted her legal domicile,
gave practically the entire estate to
her son, Col. Z. H. R. Green, and her
daughter Mrs. Matthew Astor Wilks.
This fact made the bulk of the in
heritanCe exempt, as there is no tax in
this state on property willed from
parents to children. Mrs. Green's be-
quests totalling $4,000 to friends and
other relatives, however, are subject to
a 5 per cent. tax and from this source
the state will realize $1,250.
Although the will expressly stipu-
lated that no inventory or appraisal of
the estate should be required, it was
said today that the extent TO which
Mrs. Green had developed her birth
right might be determined through an
order from the probate judge.
