WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 49,
The senate is making unexpected
progress In It's consideration of the

with little contest. The revision OF

the House rates.
House provisions levying a five per
cent tax upon gross sales OF many
manufactures and designed to raise
$1lS.750.000 were formally ellmin-
ated. the new automobile and other

ditional federal taxation OF inherl-
tances. designed to raise $4,000. 900.
New England senator's protested that
Inheritances are prime source Of
local state taxation. and should not
be interfered with by the federal gov

fishers incomes and the increase in
second-class postage rates were de-
bated at length today. but action was
deferred. probably until mex, week,

LONDON. Aug. 1s.--For the third
day, the Germans have continued
hurting masses Of troops against the
newly won, British positions near
Lens. All these attacks have been
repulsed. The artillery was particu-
larly active last night.
Three times the Germans tried to
retake their lost positions but each
time they were driven on with heavy
losses.
The first counter-attack on the Ca
madam center. made in the early ev-
ening. was an absolute failure. About
o'clock the Germans again snrgsd
forward and succeeded In pushins

Evidence continues to multiply
from both the prisoners and British
officers OF the wonderful efIiciency Of
the British barrage fire yesterday
morning on the north end of the
British line, where the advance was
so successful.
At the jumping-off hour. which was
4:45 o'clock. the British batteries
dropped barrage in front Of the
infantry for the advance. It was as
though solid curtain Of steel had
been dropped before the British men.
It moved forward with the mechan-
ical precision Of clockwork. All the
guns broke out with such hurri-
cane Of fire that 1t was stunning.
One hundred fourteen German air
planes have been downed during the
last week while the British loss in
aircraft has amounted to 40.
