WOULD INCREASE
 WAR TAX PROFITS
Senators Tentatively Draft Amendments at Conference The Proposed Revenue Would Amount to SS50,000,000.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Senate fn- ance committee leaders, recognizing the growing demand for heavier tax ation upon war profits, tentatively drafted at private conferences today amendments to the war tax bill de- signed to increase the gross levy on this source from 26 per cent to about 33 1-3 per cent, and the revenue to be derived from S562, 100000 to $S50,- 000,000. These amendments will be offered as compromise in an effort to head off more drastic increases ad- vocated by Senator's Johnson of Cali fornia, LaFollette, Borah and others.
 Leaders of the so-called conserva- tives confidently predicted that they would muster sufficient strength to insure the adoption of compromise, but supporters of the higher rates ap- parently were equally as sure that they would make the levy not less than 50 per cent.

U. }. REJECTS P0pf'i PEACE OFFER: BLAME
 OF WAR ON KIASER
Would Be Another Scrap of Paper" Wilson Implies-Re- cuperatiOn and Effort For World Domination FOreseen.

Washington, Aug. 28.-President Wilson today rejected the peace pro- posals of Pope Benedict gV at this time.
 In a note sent to the pope, he de- clared that the United States must continue to fight until it is satisfied that a peace treaty would be more than another scrap of paper" to be torn by Germany's rulers at will.
 While the presidents note is re- jecton of peace at this time, it leaves the road wide open for further dis cussion and proposals.
 We cannot take the word of the present rulers of Germany as guar antee of anything that is to endure" :" he says. And later he adds
 "TO deal with such a power as the present rulers of Germany upon Pope Benedict's plan," declares the presi- dent, "would involve recuperation of the strength and renewal of the world domination policy of that power now baked, but not defeated, after sweeping a continent with the blood of innocent women and children and the helpless poor, as we'll as of soldiers.
 Permanent peace must be based upon the faith of all the peoples and upon justice and fairness and the common rights of mankind" he adds, land we cannot take the word of the present rulers of Germany as a guar antee of anything that is to endure, unless explicitly supported by such conclusive evidence of the will and purpose of the German people them selves as the other peoples of the world would be justified in accepting" /"
 President Wilson's rejection of the pope's peace proposals is regarded here as the high water mark of the war. Surthermore, it is indicative of the virtual selection of the president by the allies as their spokesman be- fore the world.

ARKANSAS DELEGATION
 LIVE-NIRE BOOSTERS
Trade Papers Speak of Great Showing Arkansans Made at Convention of the National Editorial Association.

The trade papers are still talking about what a great showing Arkan- sas made at Minneapolis, when a dele gation of live-wire boosters, headed by Gov. Brough, went to the Minne- sota metropolis in July after the 1918 convention of the National Editorial Association-and got it.
 Guy U. Hardy, of Colorado, who will be elected president at the Ar kansas meeting, devotas considerable space in the August number of the Colorado Press to the Minneapolis meeting, and Arkansas comes in for a liberal boost.
 Reviewing the fight between Ar kansas and Miami, Fla, for the con- vention, MT. Hardy says that under ordinary circumstances Miami would have carried home the price," but
 Arkansas sent up party of twen- ty-five live boosters, headed by Gov. Charles H. Brough and ex-Secretary of State Earle ". Hodges. They sang and danced and talked, published spe- cial editions of little paper, distrb- uted tons of literature, gave away bushels of pins and oadges and so charged the atmosphere with the magic word Arkansas that they cap- tured the prize.
 "They promise great things for the meetings which will be held in 1918 at Little Rock and Hot Springs next spring-one feature of which is weeks tour of the state of Arkansas free of cost, and banquet for every meal.
 You surely want to begin now to pack your grip for Arkansas next Spring.
 "Gov. Brough is certainly a go- getter After watching him sing and hearing him speak for a week, no one failed to understand why he is gover- nor of tha great state of Arkansas. He is one of those good old-fashioned Southern orators who can always make an appropriate speech on any and all occasions. The association will probably start boom for him for the presidency of the United States at that Arkansas meeting.
 "The whole delegation was made up of live chaps-good fellows, and their wives-and if that bunch is sample of Arkansas folks and Arkansas hos pitality, and we are assured it is. the association will surely meet among friends next year"

London, Aug. 28.-Gen. Cadorna, the entente's man of the hour," is continuing his hamper blows against the Austrian front. Not only have his divisions battling on the Biansizza pla teau beaten off all counter attacks, violent as they were, but new head way has been registered. The huge endorsements hurried to the front north of Gorizia have availed the Austrians nothing. The Italians con- tinue to "march to complete victory" as their generalissimo put it a few days ago.
 A cave-in of the Austrian lines is looked for as inevitable by military critics. The stubborness of the de- fense thus far is frankly described as miraculous, but all agree that it is beyond human possibility to stand the terrific pounding of the Anglo French Italian artillery combination much longer.
 Once gap is torn in the Hapsburg lines the final and supreme test will come. Open warfare with sweeping flank movements aimed at the isola- tion of whole army groups will ensue.
