LEGAL STAFF OF EMERGENCY
 FLEET CORPORATION QUITS
Said to Be Out of Sympathy With
 General GoethaIs.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The entire le- gal staff of the emergency fleet cor poration has quit in body because of sympathy, it is said, with Major Gen eral Geoi ge w. Goethals, whose resig- nation as general manager of the cor poration was accepted recently bx President Wilson.
 On the staff are several of the coun- try's best known lawyers. They are George Rublee, a former member of the federal trade commission; Joseph P. Cotton, George H. Savage and Charles P. Rowland of New York and Edward B. Burling of Chicago. All ex- cept MT. Savage were serving without pay.
 The attorneys resigned several days ago, but their action became known only today. Officials of the fleet cor poratiOn admitted they had left but refused to offer an explanation It was learned, however, the lawyers felt they should go out with General Goethals and that Rear Admiral Capps, now general manager, should be left free to choose his own associates. The staff has held on since General Goethals left, it is understood, only because its members desired to give the new man- agement all the information they could concerning le5A1 questions considered by the old organization.
 When the places of the attorneys are filled and one more member is named for the shipping board the reorganiza- ton of the board and corporation wi'a have been completed.

 ed for Food Yesterday.

Clay Center, Kas., Aug. 10.-WilI- jam H. Taft is much better tonight. He is improved wonderfully today" said Dr. B. F. Morgan, the attending physician tonight.
 MT. Taft asked for food today, the first time since Monday, when he was stricken with an intestinal dis order He was given a soft boiled egg and some toast. Not only is his phys icaI condition improved, but his rnent- al attitude has frightened. He was cheerful today and was more talka- tive than usual.
 The principal news events were read to him and he commented briefly.
 The former president was asked if there was any word he wanted to send to his relatives.
 No,'' he replied "I1l be out of here soon, and I don't want to both CT them"
 That has been his attitude throughout" Dr. Morgan said. 'He will do anything to assist me in ad- ministering to his needs. And above all. he always is cheerful as possible under the circumstance ces.'
 Dr- Morgan said it was impossible to state when MT Taft would he able to resume his speaking tour. He said, however, that it probably would take some timeffor MT. Taft to regain his strength after he leaves his bed

Washington, Aug. 1O-The admin istratiOn's programme for insuring soldiers, sailors and marines was placed before congress today in iden- tical bills introduced by Senator Sim mons and Representative Alexand2 TT. The measure probably will be taken up in the senate and house as soon as the war tax bii has been disposed of.
 S15 a Month for Dependents.
 The chief innovation is the proposal to compel men and officers to ailot minimum of SIS a month of their pay to dependent wives and children. The bill proposes to vest in the war and navy departments authority to comp such payments. Authority also Ii proposed to compel the men to be in sured, to deposit at 4 per cent. inter est, with the government and at the discretion of the war and navy de- partments, so much of their pay as is represented by the difference be- tween the $15 family allotment and half their regular pay.
 Provision is made in the programme for the payment of government a. lowances to families of men in the nations armed forces. The proposed allowances vary between s and $50 monthly, according to the circum stances of the dependents and would

bate on the measure, Senator Sim mons said the committee had weighed every schedule carefully during its many weeks of consideration and that the bill as now presented would place the tax where it belong, without working injustice to any one. He did not complete his statement and will continue tomorrow.
 Without mentioning him by name, the North Carolina senator replied at length to Chairman kitchin of the house ways and means committee, who recently charged that the senate com mittee had rewritten the house bill in such way as to favor prosperous and individuals. On the contrary, the senator insisted the sen ate revision would tax the prosperous much more heavily than had the house bill. The house, he said, had been far too lenient with those who had "reaped the harvest of gold"
 Tax Sugar, Tea and Coffee.
 Defending the committees consump- tion tax on sugar, tea and coffee. he said the original house bill levied just about as much tax in other forms on these articles. He denied charges that the senate bill favored the rail roads.
 Many senators have prepared speech eS and a long debate is expected. Sen atOr LaFOllette is preparing a minOri- ty report in conjunction with Senators Thomas and Gore and hopes to be able to present it tomorrow.

New York, Aug 10.-ColOnel The odore Roosevelt declared in a state ment today that he had been misquot- ed by Dr. Kuno Meyer Berlin pro-
 He said Professor Meyer was guilty of gross impropriety" in quoting him concerning compensation and indemni- ties Germany might collect.
 MT. Meyers statement is sub stantiaIlv correct with this exception" '" said Roosevelt. I did not say the Austro- German victory would entitle them to compensation or indemnities, or to form a mid European federation under Germany's agency.
 What l did say was that if Germa ny was victorious she would undoubtedly exact the utmost limits of compen- sation and indemnity she could wiring from all adversaries. including the United States whether we went to war or not. Mir. Meyer and his wife call ed on me in May 1916.
 What l said to him was what said in speeches so far as Germany and the duty of this government is concerned.
 w care fighting for our nearest and dearest interests to make the world safe for America. Until America shows her ability to do that she should not talk about making the world safe for democracy. Now let every man woman and child in this country strain every nerve so that at the earliest possible moment our giant strength may be used to win the vic- tory.
 Let us remember that pacifists and pro- Germans stand where the copper heads stood in the Civil War. This applies to some senators and congress- men and newspaper editors. l hope congress will immediately pass a law refusing to allow any paper to be pub lished in German or the language of any other of our opponents while the war lasts"

Both the British and French armies facing the Germans in Flanders have a gain struck hard blows at their an tagunists and been rewarded with further gains ih the line of Crown Prince Rupprecft of Bavaria While the fighting has occurred only on is olated sectors, it seems evident that the heavy artillery duels that are in progress all along the front from Nieuport to the Franco Belgian bor- der are the forerunners of a resump tion of the big allied offensive which rain and nire stopped almost at its inception more than a week ao.
 Driving eastward from the sector of Ypres in the early dawn of Friday, Field Marshal Haig's men took for their own all the German first line positions east of Hooge between Ere zenberg and the Ypres- -Menin road, including the village of Westhoek and held them in their entirety, nothwitf- standing the usual counter attacks launched by the Germans under an extremely heavy barrage fire.
 To the north near Bixschoote and Langmarck the French troops have captured several farms held by the Germans and also have taken a mum Der of machine guns from them. While these gains are characterized as slight" they nevertheless are another step forward eastward toward the Ostend-Lille railroad toward which the British drive from Hooge also is pointed

The Canadians lying in their trench es at the doorstep of Lens and the British forces holding trenches south of the famous Vimy Ridge are com ing in for intensive shelling from the Germans.
 On the front near St. Quentin the Germans have delivered a surprise at tack of considerable proportions, but were unsuccessful in gaining ground anywhere except at several weak points in the center of the French line.
 Likewise, along the Aisne front the Germans have delivered onslaughts against the French, but here also they met with the same result that has marked previous attempts of the German crown prince to pierce the French Ine-defeat.
 Aside from the front in France lit tie fighting of moment is taking place except in Galicia, Bukowina and southern Moldavia, where Germans and Austro- Hungarian are declared by the Berlin war offices to be con- tinuing their gains. Southeast of Czernowitz, the capital of Bukowina, the Germans have penetrated the Russian frontier positions; farther south, fighting with their allies, they have taken Height positions between the Trotus and Putna valleys; and in southern Moldavia in the region of Frokshani, they have thrown their forces across the Suchitza River on a wide front.
