ton against the dealer in the small
towns, for perusual of the adver-
tisements on Saturdays of the pro

one in hurry. The city prices in
many instances are half what they
are in the country towns. Certainly
the freight charges between the city
and the villages do not eat up all the
difference. There can be no other

there is a discrimination. In this

WAR TAX INCREASES
 ARE DECIDED ON
Total Will Reach $2,000,000,0OO Under Bill-IncOme Taxes of
 Persons and Corporations Af- fected-COmmittee in Accord.

Washington, July 31.-Increase of the pending $1,670,OOO,0OO war tax bill to total of $2,0O8,0 100000 was de- cided upon today by the Senate fn- ance committee by increases on cor porations' normal income taxes, on in- come taxes of individuals of S15,000 and over and a further increase of S1 per gallon on distilled spirits and 50 cents more on beer, together with a few other minor tax increases.
 The committee decided to increase the present two per cent normal rate on corporate incomes to six per cent, as against four per cent in the bill as originally drawn, yielding $162,000,000 additional revenues. The increase in surtax rates on individual incomes of $15,000 and more was estimated to raise from $25,OO0,O0O to $36,000000 additional.
 In revising the liquor schedules, the committee estimated in adding S1 per gallon to the tax on distilled spirits. or to total of $3.20 per gallon-S2.10 over the present law-that $90,000000 more revenue would be secured from that source. The increase of 50 cents a barrel on beer was estimated to yield $25,00O,0O0 more revenue, mak- ing the beer tax $325 per barrel, as compared with S1.50 under existing law and $2.75 as originally proposed in the bill.
 The exact rates of the surtax in- creases on individual incomes of S15,000 and more were not decided. The income tax increases would re- suit in total levy upon corporate and individual incomes of the war of at least $1,049, 100000. It was stated that the committee might decide against further increase on excess profits.
 i The additional taxes on lijuor would increase revenues from that source from $155, 100000 to at least $270,- O00,000, with the increase of $90,000,- 900 from distilled spirits and $25,000,- 900 from beer. Senator Simmons also stated that wine taxes also will be in- creased. The committee plans, how ever, to raise SS,OO0,OOO more reve- nues from wines.

URGE EXEMPTION STUDENTS
 OF SCIENTIFIC PROFESSIONS

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-The work of the exemption boards presents many phases which can be reached by no hard and fast rules or regulations. In many instances discretion and com- mon sense must govern. For instance the U. s. commissioner of education has been authorized by the secretary of war to urge upon the district boards the importance of exempting University students who give promise of special aptitude for technical and scientific professions. In 21 years, only 35,000 engineering graduates have been turned out by all the col leges of the United States, and in con- sejuence the number is lamentably small. And still, "the successful pro- secution of the war depends in large degree on the services of scientific and technical experts" President J. c. Futrall is therefore urging the ex- emption of this class of students from the selective draft.

ANGLO-fRENCH CRUSH
 TEUTONS IN FLANDERS
Two Lines of Trenches Won and Battle COntinues-MOst Stu pendOus Action Since Battle of Marne in Progress.

London, July 31-Ihe official state ment from British headquarters in France tonight reports the capture by the entente allies of the following vil- lages: La Basseeville, Steetstraete, BixschoOte, VerlOrenhOek, Frezenberg, Saint Julien, Pilken, Hooge, West Hook and HOllebeke, and more than $500 prisoners.
 British Front in France and Bel gium, July 31.-Late today it was re- ported the Germans were counter-at- tacking at the point of junction of the French and British forces.
 The French, who attacked on the difficult territory between Dixmude and a point near Boesinghe, forced their way across the marsh and cap tured the first three German lines.
 With a few exceptions, the entente allies accomplished all they had planned for the first day of this battle in Flanders. The casualties of the French and British were surprisingly fight.
 Six Bavarian divisions were with drawn and replaced, as they were demoralized by the inferno of fire.
 At one point the British charged through their own barrage fire to pre- vent the escape of fleeing Germans. The entente allied forces which launched the offensive this morning have advanced we'll beyond the she'll shattered front line German trenches. In many places they have reached the second line defenses on 20-mile front of attack, according to the early re- ports.
 The British and French troops went into battle under cover of what per haps was the greatest barrage fire ever seen during the war.
 The entente artillery is moving for ward and the whole situation is satis- 1 factory in every particlar.
 Between Dixmude and Boesinghe the attackers reported they had se- cured the two first lines of trenches after having fought over the most difficult terrain imaginable.
 The British again have captured La Basse Vile, which they recently pelin- ouished to the Germans.
 The British and French forces are l facing a large concentration of Ger man artillery and fresh troops which have been rushed up.
 The entente allies have established complete air superiority.
 The entente military officials say the morale of the Germans here IS not up to the old standard.
 The offensive launched this morning by Gen. Sir Douglas Haig, the British commander, in conjunction with Gen Petain, the commander of the French forces, against the German lines on the Belgian front is the culmination of, the tremendous heavy gun bom- bardment which has been in progress almost continuously in this area for a week.

A LONG WAR

Those who imagine the Wal will end
soon by reason Of Germany's shortage
~ men are due to receive a Jolt in the
estimate OF German casualties recently
made public in London. According to
this report Germany has lost in killed
since the beginning OF the war, in
round numbers, 800, 900 men. Add to
these 10000 taken prisoners and an
equal number disabled by wounds, and
we have q total German casualty list OF
1000 900.
According to the most reliable esti-
mates o%btainable, Germany has on the
various fronts q total Of from 10, 1000 900
to l2,0Oe,000 men. To these may be
added through the natural growth OF
the population at least $50. 900 soldiers
yearly. By which it may be seen that
at no time since the beginning Of hos
tilities has Germany been stronger in
man power than at present.
