w ASH Hi August 2
ers, at a private conference held
last night, agreed tentatively upon
a draft of amendments to the War
Tax Bill, and the big fight on this
measure, which has been before
congress for many months, will
begin late today, after the senate
shall have disposed of the publish
.rs' tax phase of the bill.
The amendments. which were
tentatively agreed upon will, if
embodied in the bill, increase the
gross levy on war profits from
.wenty-six per cent, as now con-
templated by the measure as il is
before the senate, to about thirty
.hree and one-third per cent. This
will raise the total revenue to be
,ealized from the $500, 900 900 pro-
posed by the measure at present,
o $3.50. 100000.
TO HEAD OFF RADICALS
The plan as agreed upon by the
nance leaders of the senate is
compromise, designed to head off
he drastic increase in war profit
axes advocated by Senator John.
son of California, Senator LaFol-
lette of Wisconsin and Senator
8orah of Idaho.
The conservative element of the
'enate is confident that it has suf-
icient strength to win out along
his line. But it is not going to do
% without a fight. The support
.rs of higher rate of taxation
lpon war profits express equal
,onhdence and declare that they
will be able to make the tax not
ess than fifty per cent.

slams, stunned and Keeling under the
terrific blows dealt them during the
past few days by the victory-1ushed
Allies, the violence of the fighting
showed yesterday a remarkable abate-
ment. The Huns, staggering under the
terrific assaults under which they. have
for days been giving ground, gave
thanks for the bad weather which, in
Flanders and northern France, forced
the British and French to pause tempo
rarily in their furious assaults. 3 : =
But their respite is only momentary
and does not include the operations on
the Italian front, in Bukowina and in
Moldavia. On those fronts the furious
attacks still continue and the Teutons
still reel backward from the terrific
thrusts Of their adversaries, who give
them no rest night or day. ~. ...t. ~.
Italians Drive Ahead
Along the Italian front, on the pIa.
teams north of GOritzia, General Ca.
dorna continued his impetuous drive,
steadily forcing the Austrians back and
winning new positions of supreme i'm
portance. The day was marked by fu.
riOus battles, for the Austrians refused
to surrender their positions without a
struggle. Again and again they
charged furiOusly on the Italian lines,
striving desperately but futilely to
drive back the torrent of blood and iron
that for days has been overwhelming
them. But all of their counters were
repulsed and the irresistible Italians
continued their victorious advance
towards Trieste.
The British, notwithstanding the un.
favorable weather, made material ad
vance on the Flanders front, forging
forward along a 2000-yard front along
the st. Julien POelcapelle road, north of
LangemaTck.
Successful trench raids were con,
Quoted by the French on the California
plateau. Elsewhere along the front
where the poilus face the Huns the big
guns continued their steady pounding,
taken az indicatory of another attack
on the Teuton positions.
Russians Quit without Fight
Reports from the Russian front, how
ever, are far from satisfactory. The
spirit OF dissatisfaction inculcated by the
German spies and secret agents, and the
unreasonable and unthinking radicals
of the restless new republic manifested
itself in a repetition of the disgraceful
episodes that have marked recent Rus
sian operations. Dispatches to Petro
grad from the front told of another vol
untary retreat of the supine infantry
men, who did not even wait for attack
before abandoning their trenches in the
