A dispatch to Reuters reports that
the city of Tarnopd has been CAPTURED

make this claim, but said the German
troops had occupied the heights inn
mediately in the west Of the city and
were pressing forward on both sides
Of the Dniester river. %

great losses and says that the enAmy

The approach Of the Germans on
Tarnopol shows that within. the last
few days they have driven the Russiana
back twenty 1--we miles since they be-

The capture Of 9Tarnopol would Inn

Army and Many Needs

Washington, July ,24.-Secretary Nc
Adoo today prepared war estimates for
congress three months in excess Of
those already presented and which will
necessitate raising revenue not contem-
plated when the senate finance com
mittee revised the war tax bill. The
bill probably will be further revised.
The government, basing an estimate
on the needs of the army and navy,
wants the war tax bill to authorize an
additional $4,000. 100000.
Secretary McAdoo will appear before
the finance committee late today to
explain the treasury's needs, based on
the requirements of the army and
navy. Whether the $4,000, 100000 would
be raised by q bond issue had not been
determined.
While no official information Of the
sort of the new revenue was given be-
fore Secretary McAdoo went before the
tion6 that 1t may be drawn principally
from excess profits and estate taxes,
probably some increases in income
taxes and minor increases in miscel-
laneous taxes. Official figures are said
to show that excess profits in the
United States are now at the rate OF
$5.O00,0oo.o00 year.

Administration Leaders to

HAVE BACKING OF
PRESIDENT WILSON
Would Instruct conferees to Strike
Out Provisions For Creation Of Con.
eressional Committee on Conduct Of
War and For Food Adminstr alton
Board Of Three Members-Opposss
Concurrence in Senate Amendment.

Washington, July 24.-When the food
control bill was taken up in the house
today administration leaders were de-
termined to send the measure to con
ference, If possible, with instructions
to have stricken out certain features
as objected to in the senate.
These are the provisions for the Gre
alton of a congressional committee on
the conduct of the war and for a food
administration board of three MEM
bers.
1t was expected, however, that at
tempts would be made to have the
house instruct it's conferees 10 concur
in all the senate amendments, but the
leaders apparently are certain they
will be able to prevent this.
Have Backing Of President.
In their effort to have the proposal
for a war committee eliminated the
leaders have the backing Of President
Wilson and there were Indications also
today that they would be backed by
tho president to knock out the food
board features.
President Wilson's attitude on the
war committee feature was made
known in a communication to Chair
man Lever, of the house agriculture
committee, in which he said such q
scommittee would be likely 10 harass
those directly responsible for the con-
duct of the war.
He would, he added, interpret the
retention Of the provision os signify
Ing lack of confidence in him.
Consider Kahn Bill.
The Kahn bill to organize ten or
more regiments Of Indian cavalry az
part Of the American military forces
was considered by the house military
committee today. The measure pro-
poses that the reservations be visited
by medical officers and recruiting ofri-
GERS and all the Indians available In
