 vindictive Action Condemned.
 Responsible statesmen must now everywhere see. if they never saw before. that no peace can rest securely upon political or econom- ic restrictions meant to benefit some nations and cripple or en- barrass others upon vindictive action of any sort or any kind of revenge or deliberate injury. The American people have suffered in tolerable wrongs at the hands of the Imperial German government but they desire no reprisal upon the German people, who have themselves suffered all things in this war, which they did not choose. They believe that peace should rest upon the rights of peoples not the rights of govern ments-the rights of peoples great or small. weak or powerful-their equal right to freedom and secur- ity and self-government and to participation upon fair terms in the economic opportunities of the world-the German people of course included if they will accept equality and not seek domination.
 The Test of Peace.
 "The test therefore of every plan of peace is this: Is it based upon the faith of all the peoples involved or merely upon the word of an ambitious and intriguing government on the one hand and a group of free peoples on the eth err This is a test which goes to the root of the matter; and it is the test which must be applied.
 The purposes of the United States in this war are known to the whole world-to every people to whom the truth has been per mitted to come. They do not need to be stated again. We seek no material advantage of any kind. We believe that the intolerable wrongs done in this war by the furious and brutal power of the Imperial German government ought to be repaid but not at the expense of the sovereignty of any people-rather a vindica- tion of the sovereignty both of those that are weak and those that are strong.
 The Peoples Word Binding. We cannot take the word of the present rulers of Germany as guarantee of anything that is to endure unless explicitly sup ported by such conclusive evi- dence of the will and purpose of

The text or the note follows:
 August 27, 1917. ITO HIS HOLINESS,
 "Bendictus XIV,
 Pope.
 Tn acknowledgement of the communication of your Holiness to the belligerent peoples. dated August 1. 1917, the president of the United States requests me to transmit the following reply:
 Humane and Generous.
 Every heart that has not been blinded and hardened by this ter rible war must be touched by this moving appeal of His Holiness, the Pope, must feel the dignity and force of the humane and gen erous motives which prompted it. and must fervently wish that we might take the path of peace he so persuasively points out. But it would be folly to take it if it does not in fact lead to the goal he proposes. Our response must be based upon the stern facts and upon nothing else. It is not a mere cessation of arms he desires; 1t is a stable and enduring peace. This agony must not be gone through with again. and it must be a matter of very sober judg- ment what will insure us against 1t.
 For Anti-8ellum Status.
 His Holiness in substance pro- poses that we return to the status quo ante bellum and that then there be a general conformation, disarmament, and a concert of na- tions. based upon an acceptance of the principle of arbitration; that by a similar concert free dom of the seas be established and that the territorial claims of France and Italy, the perplexing problems of the Balkan states and the restitution of Poland be left to such conciliatory adjustments as may be possible in the new temper of such a peace, due re- gard being paid to the aspirations of the peoples whose political for tunes and affiliations will be in- volved.
 Irresponsible Government.
 Tt is manifest that no part of this program can be successfully carried out unless the restitution of the status quo ante furnishes a firm and satisfactory basis for 1t. The object of this war is to deliver the free peoples of the world from the menace and the actual power of a vast military es- tablishment controlled by an ir- responsible government, which having secretly planned to domi- nate the world proceeded to carry the plan out without regard either to the sacred obligations of trea-
  es and long cherished principles of International action and honor which chose its own time for the war, delivered it's blow fiercely and suddenly; stopped at no bar rier either of law or of mercy; swept a whole continent within the tide of blood-not the blood of soldiers only-but the blood of Innocent women and children also Q and the helpless; and now stands baked but not defeated. the ene- my of four-ffths of the world. This power is not the German people. It is no business of ours how that great people came under its control or submitted with temporary zest to the domination

HEAVIER TAX PROPOSED ON
 WAR PROFITS
Senate Finance Committee Leaders Foresee Necessity of Heavier Taxation to Raise Money for Carrying on War
(By Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Senate finance committee leaders foreseeing demands for heavier taxation upon war profits, tentatively drafted, in private conference today, amendments to the war tax bill designed to in- crease the gross levy on this source from 26 ger cent to about 33 1-3 per cent and the revenue to be derived from s562 100000 10 about sS50,000.- GOO.
 These amendments will be offered as compromise in an effort to head off more drastic increases to be in- troduced by Senators Johnson of Cali fornia, Borah and others.
 Want Higher Levy.
 Leaders of the so-called conserva- lives predicted they would muster sui ficient strength to insure adoption of compromise but supporters of the higher rates were equally sure they would make the levy not less than 50 per cent Consideration on the senate floor of war profits taxation drew nearer during the day when the sen ate struck out provisions for a one cent increase in letter postage and arranged to dispose of publishers tax features tomorrows
 Postage Tax Eliminated.
 Senator Hardwick's motion to elim- mate the letter postage tax, estimated to raise S50,000,O00 was adopted, 39 to 32. and the senate spent the rest of the day debating the proposals for increases in second class mail rates and five per cent special tax on pub fishers incomes. In eliminating all taxes on first class mail a provision was retained for free postage on let ters mailed to American soldiers abroad.
 Compromise Proposal.
 The compromise proposal of the conservatives said to have been vir- tually agreed upon at late session after the senate adjourned, includes a provision for minimum exemptions of 6 per cent and maximums of 10 per cent to be determined by the treasury department based upon the pre-war period of calculations. This was designed to benefit corporations suffering unusual depression during the ante-bellum period. The war pro- fits fight is expected to begin late tomorrow after disposition of the pub- fishers tax provisions.

PLUNGE
 AHEAD IN FACE
 OF DRIVING RAIN
English Forces Attack South east of Langemarck and Win-Other Fronts Quiet With Exception of Italian
tBy Review Leased Wire).


 WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Aug. 2S.- (By the Associated Press)-The Brit 'ish attack yesterday southeast of Langemarck, astride the St. Julien Poelcapelle road has developed into a success notwithstanding the almost impossible weather conditions under which the troops made the assault. A number of strong German redoubts were occupied and the line was push ed forward to a considerable depth over front of some two thousand yards.
 Daylight Attack
 The offensive was launched at 2 o'clock in the afternoon amid a heavy rain which added to the freshets of the already swollen Steenbeke and Hannebeke rivers, which had turned the surrounding country into bogs. Into this marshland, studded with con- cret machine gun redoubts the British plunged after the artillery had con- ducted heavy bombardment and laid down barrage. Particularly vicious fighting developed near the Spring field and Vancouver farms, two Ger man strongholds northeast of St. Jul fen.
 Germans Driven Back.
 Notwithstanding heavy machine gun fire, they pushed forward here, driv- ing back the Wurtemburgers who had been sent up from Roulois to hold the German advanced posts.
 Storm Sweeps Country.
 Today the battle along the section attack yesterday had subsided into state of comparatively calm. A great storm was sweeping the country. At times the gale reached a velocity that uprooted trees at many places. S
 Fighting Abates.
 The fighting fronts. except in the theater and in eastern Bukowina and southern Moldavia show a remarkable abatement in the violence of the fighting. Along the front in Flanders and northern France bad weather has again set in and aside from reciprocal bombardments, which at some points have reached the stage of drum fire and minor infantry opera tions on the part of the British, little is being done by either of the belliger- ents.
 Germans Cease Action.
 In the Verdun sector the Germans have ceased their counter attacks against the newly won French posi- tons, evidently having found that the task of trying to rehabilitate them- selves was useless. The infantry of both sides have remained in their trenches and only on the western bank of the Mouse has there been even ar tillery activity.
 Italians Still Active.
 On the Bainizza plateau, north of Gorizia, the Italians and Austrians are still engaged in furious battle. New positions have been won by General Cadorna's forces and heavy Austrian attacks to retrieve lost ground have been repulsed. Silence is still main tained by the Rome war office con corning the operations in the Carso plateau. An Austrian official dated Sunday, the first received from Vienna for several days, acknowledges the capture by the Italians of Monte San to, but says says the position was avaruatad hv the Auctriaue EridaV night without fighting.
