Geneva, Sept 20.--An official Aus
trian telegram from Landeck, In the
Tyro1, states that Emperor Charles,
with large staff recently visited the
Alpine outposts Of the Austrians In
the Trentino.
The telegram declares that the en-
nerors visit was risky, and adds. "al-
though the attention of the enemy was
attracted by the important escort,
the emperor's descent from st. Elvio
pass was performed without Incl
dent"
Lugana report, confirmed by
SWISS troops watching on st. Elvio
pass. states that the emperor and his
whole staff narrowly escaped capture
because the Italian commander was
informed by an aviator that many au-
tomobiles were in the vicinity. The
Italian troops thereupon attacked and
captured an Alpine outpost while the
royal motor party fled down the st.
Flvio route under machine gun fire

Washington, Sept. 20.--unexpected
demands OF house members for SUBJ
statntial increase in war profits taxes
so complicated the contest over the
war tax bill late today that final en-
actment of the measure early next
week was doubtful.
Coincident with the adjournment
OF the conference, a meeting of the
house ways and means committee.
which drew the original bin was
called FOR tomorrow to discuss the sit
uation and some western and south
ern members of the committee an
nounced they would demand an in
crease In the senate excess war profit
figures from $1,000, 900, 900 to $1,500.-
600, 900.
1t was explained that the ways and
means committee would try to in
duce the conferees to accept the larg-
er figure, but should this fail high
tax advocates declared they would
carry the contest to the floor of the
house.
Fear Too Many Bonds.
They said recent announcements
that approximately $4,000, 000. 900
more money will be needed this year
lhan already provided makes 1t GER
tain that unless a start Is made now
to further increase taxes the country
Will be swamped with bonds. ~
In conference today definit}SfIg OF
capital, on which there is wif&dif-
ference OF opinion between thu two
houses was one OF the blg stumbling
blocks. The basis for figuring values
of patents, copyrights, trademarks,
good will and other intangible assets
also caused discussion. Experts were
called into conference for advice.
Zone Rate Agreed Upon.
Besides the differences on the ex-
cess profits section. proposed advertis-
ing and automobile taxes and second
class mail rates were under consider
alton. The postal rate dispute virtu-
ally has been settled, zone rate be-
ing agreed upon, but the other pro-
posals are contested and may be sub
mtted to the ways and means COM
mittee tomorrow. The bill, as 1t final
ly passed the senate, contained no ad-
Vertising tax but in view of the pro-
posed second class mail rates some
members demand that II be reinserted.
The tentative agreement reached
today on postal rates proposes main
tenance of the present one cent rate
through the first zone of $50 miles
and a graduated zone increase above
that point to something less than
cents a pound in the farthest zone.
