WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 26.-Via London, Aug. 27)-'It was week of gains, in the kind of gains we want" said a British staff official today, reviewing the re- suit of the weeks British offensive.
 "A thousand yards here and there, " the officer continued, but every time it has meant an advantage on Germany we wanted for future purposes. The German attacks only have been counter attacks to recover lost ground. Not an attack we have made this week but has been a gain. A small but eff cient British army has never done bet ter work than this week.
 At the end of what might be called Thiepval week the British are more
 iubilant than at any time since the offensive began, except on the occa- sion when they broke the first line
 July 1, and the second line, July 14
 They put on the old first line trenches
 in front of Thiepval a record concen- tration of gun fire.
 The correspondent while watching this curtain of shell fire, saw phleg- matic veterans as excited as school boys in their rejoicing. Under these curtains of fire the British by two attacks rushed up to within 300 yard: 1 of that patch of ruins which was once the village of Thievpal, the corre spondent saw the British infantry cap ture trenches which it had taken eigh teen months to build, and with nt | more casualties than he had witnessed | in little fights in the Philippines | Every prisoner taken who had been t l Verdun said there was nothing like i | at Verdun.

WASHINGTON. Aug 26.-A pro- posal to lower the present income tax exemption, written into the admins tration revenue bill by the senate finance committee and then stricken uot when house leaders indicated they would not accept 1t was voted down 51 to 19 by the senate tonight when Senator Underwood offered it as an amendment.
 Discussion of the amendment was marked by bitter exchange between democratic senators in charge of the bill and Senator Underwood author of the present tariff law and who as democratic leader of the house had a prominent part for several years in
 framing revenue legislation. Chair man Simmons of the finance con- mittee reminded the Alabama senator
 that it was a long standing senate
 practice for senators to stand by the decisions of their party caucus and
 Senator Stone, also a member of the committee, declared Senator Under
 wood deserved severe censure for his attitude toward the bill.
 Has the senate degenerated to q point where the individual senators must take orders from those who
 serve on committees because their constituents have kept them in the senate for many years?' retorted Senator Underwood. 'T do not recog-
 nize the right of any member to dic- l tate to me. If that be treason, make l the most of it. No man can question
 my loyalty to the democratic party 1 in victory or defeat"
 The amendment. which would have l lowered the eXefaption by S1000 mak- l ing the normal income tax apply to

DALLAS, Tex. Aug. 26.-Virtually complete returns from practically all Texas counties in the democratic sen- atorial run-off primary today gave Senator Culberson 146,507 as against former Governor Colquitt with 83, 457. Less than 30000 votes remain to be accounted for.
 A notable fact from the returns re- ceived is that the former Texas gov ernor carried practically every German county in the state. It was in these sections that he received such a vote as to enable him to catch up on the apparently overwhelming majority given his opponent by the larger coun- ties and cities.

Fighting continues on all the battle fronts in Europe, but no notable sue cesses are chronicled. France and the region north of Saloniki have seen the most intense activity, and in both fields the initiative generally has been with the central powers.
 Paris and London announce the re- pulse of repeated German attacks on the Somme and Verdun fronts. Ger man efforts were especially strong at Thiepval Guillemont and Maurepas, north of the Somme, and on the right bank of the Mouse before Verdun.
 London claims an additional British advance near Mouquet farm. German trenches on a front of 400 yards along the Curcelette- -Thiepval road were oc- cupied. Berlin asserts the repulse of attacks along the Somme front at yir- tually the same sectors where the Ger man attacks are reported as having taken place.
 Sofia records the fepulse of eighteen consecutive attacks by Serbian soldeirs northwest of Saloniki. The Serbian losses are said to have been large Northeast of Saloniki the Bulgarians apparently without opposition from the Greeks, have seized good part of northeastern Macedonia for fifty miles along the Aegean.
 The Bulgarians now have am addi- tional frontage along the Aegean and are nearing Orfano, 50 miles northeast of Saloniki, thus pressing in on the allied troops along the Struma. Nc allied advances are reported. London reports that British aeroplanes have bombarded camps south of Demir-
