MIGHTY DUEL
Big Guns Are Roaring
Before Verdun
French Shell German Positions in
Military Oepots-U- Boat Toll Less

On others than the British front, except
in the Champagne and Verdun sectors of
the line in France, no hostllities Of great
Importance are in progress Before Yer
dun the big guns are again roaring in a
mighty duel. evidently the forerunner Of
further big infantry operations in the
near future. In Champagne the French
are heavily shelling the positions of the
German crown prince, with the German
artillery answering them energetically.
In the Austrian-Italian theatre the Ital-
ians continue to carry out successful pa
troll engagements against the Austrians
and to drop large quantities of explosives
from airp,anes on military establishments
behind the line.
The sinking of British merchantmen by
mines and submarines last week was
smaller in the aggregate number OF yes
sells sent to the bottom than during any
week since Germany started her intensive
submarine campaign. In ali Is merchant
men were destroyed.

AN AGREEMENT
On Disputed War Excess
Profits Taxation
Threatened Deadlock Averted on War
Tax BilI-Conferenee Measure 10
Now Virtually Drafted and Deadlock
Averted

Washington. Sept 2s-The war tax bill
virtually was completed today by the Sem
ate and House conferees. Substantial
agreement on the dispute on the war ex-
cess profits taxation question averted a
threatened deadlock. While a few ques-
tions remain open for final settlement to-
morrow, the measure is said to be virtu-
ally drafted. 1t probably will be report
ed Friday or Saturday.
The basis Of agreement on war excess
profits taxation is said to be compro-
mise between the House excess and the
Senate war profits systems. with a mini
mum exemption of about per cent on
corporate invested capital.
Another compromise reported was on
the manufactured tobacco provisions.
Action on the report by the House and
Senate probably will go over until next
week.

Large Deficiency Of Men
When First National Arnly
Increment Fully Modified

Washington, Sept 26.-There Is little
doubt now that a large deficiency of
men will be shown when the first in
crement of the National Army-6S7 900
men-has been modified. Seventeen
National Guard divisions must be
special services to be organized out Of
the reserves and the number Of men
remaining hardly will be sufficient to
organize the Is National Army di-
visions at full strength basis.
Whether incomplete divisions will be
formed or whether call for more men
will be issued has not been indicated.
Figures Not Available
Secretary Baker said today that
definite figures as to the number of
National Army men it would be neces-
sary to transfer to the National Guard
were not available. A dual process of
organization at the guard encamp-
ments serves to delay complete reports.
Not only are these divisions being mo-
bilized for the first time, but in the
midst of that mobilization the whole
fabric Of the infantry army is being
re-organized on the new trench war
fare plan.
The fighting strength of the new di-
vision is now fixed at 27,500 men. The
Il guard divisions on that basis will
have a total strength Of 437. 500.
The guard brought into the federal
service total of not more than 100000
men. possibly less. 1t will take there
fore at least $4,000 National Army
men to fill UP the guard divisions. An
other 100000 OF the National Army will
many more to other special service
That will leave not more than o500oo
men to form the 1G National Army di-
visions which should have aggregate
war strength of 433, 900
Officers without Commands
The guard consolidation has brought
upon the department a new source of
trouble. Numerous colonels and regi-
mental stats of the guard are certain
to be left without commands since the
rumber Of regiments has been reduced.
This has already proven a fruitful
source Of protest from state officials.
The policy Of the department. it is
said, will be TO find places for such Of
fcers in other forces as far as pos
sible and desira BILE.

Statement Of Secretary Baker


The Secretary Of War authorizes the
following statement dealing with mill
tary activities in Europe for the week
ending Sept. 90.
As the time draws near when mill
tary operations on a large scale or
the western front must come to d
standstil, owing to the approach Of
winter, it becomes evident that the en-
envy does not feel himself in posi-
ton TO undertake the much advertised
offensive action so often boasted of al
home during the past summer. in or
der to end the war victoriously by
Christmas.
1T may be stated affirmatively that
the ascendancy in the West has passed
definitely to tie Allies although the
latter are content by tactics Of attri-
ton to wear down the enemy, giving
no rest or respite until such time as
the force Of our army may make it
self felt in the field.
Week or Increased Activity
"The week just closed has been one
of increased activity on the part of
the Allies on the western front, and
may be taken as presage Of what the
enemy is to expect next spring,
beginning with desultory artillery

tary Baker, inaugurating a series
which in time will be devoted largely
to activities of the United States ex-

force now in France The statement
follows:
