Nov. 13-(By the Associated Press
american army aviators have partici-
pated in bombing raids over Germany
and have been doing observation du-
" at various points OF the battle line.
The aviators are officers Of the reg
ular army, some Of whom had been
flying before the United States enter
ed the war. Others Of them are men
who have been on duty at training
centers.
On the bombing raids the Ameri-
! cans have been carried in French
planes as bombers and observers and
have been gaining a wealth Of exper-
| fence which in the future will assist
them as we'll as the new members of
/ the air service who are arriving or
are to arrive.
Some of the Americans were in sew
eral recent raids in which bombs were
dropped on German positions of mill
tary Importance. In observation work
the Americans have been acting both
as observers and pilots, flying ir
French machines. This work has beer
done at many points but none of the
enemy has flown over the sector
where the American troops are en-
trenched. iss's
Numbers Of French machines have
been turned over to the Americans fol-
| their use, but thus far none of them
has been engaged in aerial fighting OF
Importance. No casualties among the
American airmen have been reported
although enemy airplanes have firee
heavily upon them.

Heavy Bail Set

Judge Cushman directed that thu
convicted men be confined in the Mer-
Ger county (New Jerscy) penitentiary
Counsel for the government had ask
cd that Rintelen be imprisoned in the
TombS here until June, arguing that
there were other indictments against
the German naval captain, which
would be pushed to trial. Pending a
possible appeal from the verdict rem
dered by the jury last night the court
set bail for Rintolen at $4,000 for
Lamar at $4,000 and for Martin at
$4,000.
In the case of Frank Buchanan and
and Jacob J.. Taylor, who also were
tried. but upon whom the jury dis
agreed, bail was fixed at $4,000 each.
Lamar and Martin made impassion-
ed pleas to the court before sentence
was passed. The former declared that
he had been engaged in work trying
to show the people of this country how
they were being robbed by the trusts"
He added: 81 am afraid any sentence
of this court will not cure me Of the
determination to continue this work
when | am able to-"
Martin asserted he had given half
of his life to antitrust work and add
cd that he now found himself CON
victed by the very laws he had fought
for"

Final Vote Plans

House leaders said tonight they
were determined to bring the bill to
a final vote some time tomorrow night.
Victory of the cotton forces, who
triumphed over Rep. Moore Of Penn
sylvania when his proposed amend
ment was stricken out on point of
order, was greeted joyously by those
interested i'll the domestic sugar In
dustry. especially Rep. F'ordney of
Michigan and Rep. Martin of Louisi-
ana.
The automobile tax amendment offer
cd by Rep. Doremus. of Michigan, was
written into the bill after futile at
| tempt had been made to strike out the
entire program relating to a 5 per cent.
tax on automobiles, motor cycles and
tires Mr.. Doremus insisted that many
automobile manufacturers were barely
making expenses. Democratic Leader
kitchin quoted statistics to show that
the industry was enjoying unprecedent-
ed prosperity.
An amendment by Rep. Kelly of
Michigan, to strike out the provision
was beaten. Then Dorcmus proposed
to tax only firms paying at least per
cent. above $4,000 on their actual cap
ital invested was adopted by a vote of
SO to %.
Many small automobile manufacture
ers, according to supporters of the
amendment, now arc making much less
than per cent. and this provision If
enacted into law will save their bust
neSScS.
a proposal by Rep. Gilett of Massachu-
sets TO exempt motorcycles from the
tax was defeated 50 to As
Unsuccessful efforts were made by va
rious members to attach the Doremus
amendment to other parts of the section
designed to provide per cent. manufac-
turers' tax on musical Instruments selling
for more than 80 each, jewelry, yachts
pleasure boats, sporting goods. perfumes
and other toilet articles, certain drugs
and proprietary medicines. and chewing
gum. These taxes. as well as one of half
a cent per linear foot on unexposed mo-
ton picture films, and another of one cent
per foot on exposed films, were adopted
as drawn by the committee. A committee
amendment also adopted would levy
this tax on all goods affected by
the section purchased after April 6.
1917. and in the hands Of retailers
when the bill goes into effect. Under
this provision, it is expected. the CT
feet on retail prices would be immedi-
ate. The amusement tax section was
under way when the House adjourn
ed $40 annual tax on theatre boxes.
designed particularly to reach grand
opera box holders, was adopted.
The ways and means committee fail
ed today to agree upon a second class
mail rate plan, but some sort of a pro-
posal will be decided upon tomorrow.
Sentiment apparently is growing in ia
vor Of a graduated zone rate running
from a cent and a half to five cents a
! pound on second class matter.
