In the Dead Man Hill sector the
Germans carried the line on the en-

action drove them out OF the trenches

WAR TAX DEMANDS
CUT TO $1,652,170,
Excess Profits and Incomes Hit
Hardest in Senate's Re-
vised Measure.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Revision
Of the $500, 100000 war tax bill
passed by the house five weeks ago
was completed today by the senate
finance committee. The measure vir-
tually was rewritten and reduced TO
2.17O.000, with no authorization
OF additional bonds. The final draft
was sent to the printer tonight and
will be given formal committee APP
proyal Monday and reported to the
senate by Chairman Simmons early
next week.
Incomes and excess profits Will bear
about two-thirds of the new tax bur
dens under the revised bills-about a
half billion dollars each-with large
share of the remainder secured from
liquors and tobacco. Many house
taxes were entirely eliminated by the
committee and others added.
New Bond Issues Unnecessary.
Radical increase of taxes on war
excess profits of corporations, part
nerships and individuals, decided upon
today, enabled the committee to dis
pense with the suggestion made of ad-
ditional bond issue Of from 100000
900 to Sl,000,000,00O. Senator Stone
withdrew an amendment for $780,
900, 900 issue. While the bill falls
short by about $500, 100000 of meet
ing the treasury estimates of war ex-
penses next year. the committee de-
cided that by issuing s135, 100000 of
authorized but unsold Panama canal
bonds, the expenses can be met untii
congress reconvenes in December.
The much debated publishers tax
proposes 8 per cent tax on publish
ers' profits over $4,000, yielding
s7,500,0O revenue and an increase OF
Nc pound in seconded class postage
rates yielding S3.00O,000.
A comparison Of the estimated rev.
enue to be gained from other sources
under the revised bill and the house
bill respectively follows:
Liquors, s155, 100000 against $751;
