fering of the mass of people by refus- ing to place even an approximate fair portion cf the financial burden of this war upon the rich.
 Rich slackers'' were scored by Senator La Toilette who read letter from a United Mine Workers official of Illinois, addressed to himself and Senator Stone of Missouri, predicting that the peoples patience over the mounting cost of living had reached its limit and that congress should act or the people would
 After a speech tomorrow by Senator Borah, in favor of higher taxation and fewer bonds, consideration of the in come tax section is expected to begin.
 Leaders of the finance committee are considering presentation of amend ments proposing higher surtaXes on big incomes. Those advocating greater leves declare at least thirty senators favor such action, although few are expected to go to the extent urged by Senator La Toilette.
 Senator Gerry a finance committee member and reputed millionaire, today introduced an amendment, reported to have been approved by committee leaders to increase by about 33 per cent surtaXes on incomes of S50O,Ooo and more. His amendment proposes levies Of 35 per cent on incomes be- tween $500, 900 and $750,000: 45 per cent on those between S750,0OO and s1,OO0,00 and fifty per cent on those over S1, 100000. It would raise S40,225,- 900 more revenue.
 Advocating conscription of wealth to pay for the war, Senator La Toilette said eighty per cent of war profits in stead of only about 26 per cent should be taken by the government. He en- phasized the small proportion of war revenues it is proposed to raise by taxes-about one-fifth the sum to be received from bonds-and contended that the tax bill could easily be in- creased by more than S1,500000 900 by ! increasing war profits and income tax rates.
 Wealthy interests, the Wisconsin senator asserted, favor having more bonds and fewer taxes although the people prefer heavier taxation. He flayed what he termed rich slackers. In replying, Senator Weeks, in a two- i hour speech, declared the pending bill provides a fair distribution between taxes and bonds, with more taxes than other belligerents imposed during their first year of war. He deplOred what

Both offensives had begun at the same hour, but a heavy mist hung over the ground and the Germans were ap- parently unaware of the Canadian preparations until the Canadians were upon them with the bayonet.
 Brief out bitter fighting occurred in No Mans land. The German of ficers tried to rally their men against the Canadians, but the enemy infantry gradually fell back to the trenches which they had just left. The Cana dians followed, and leaping the para pets, hurled masses of bombs down among great number of troops which had been collected for the attack. The Germans tried to flee through the communication trenches but the Cana dians jumped among them with bayo- nets and bombs. killing many.
 On the southwest the Canadians were equally successful after very heavy fighting in which the British artillery was brought into play. The most strenuous fighting late in the day was proceeding in the center of the line west of Lens and on a little front near the left of the northwest positions, but the whole line was a seething caldron.
 The Canadians have achieved their ] immediate object by drawing their l lines still closer about the heart of l the city and their goal unless the German counter attacksesucceed. By 1 today's attack the Canadians have l gained possession of many railway entertainments and colliery sidings which afford excellent positions for either offensive or defensive opera : tions.
 The Canadian assault extended from
 the northwest of the environs of the
 city to the southwest suburbs, and as 1 the Germans were already advancing

Series of Engaqements

CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, August 21-(By Canadian Press Limited. )-Due south of Lens almost two miles around a semi circle front, a series of engagements have been fought, which for hard hitting on both sides has seldom been equalleo during the struggle for Lens. The eel lars in this region had been crammed full of machine guns and trench mor- tars in anticipation that the Canadian attack would consist entirely of a frontal assault.
 -1 1he enemy troops were also numer- ous and they swarmed up from the cellars whenever the artillery fire was suspended to permit of our infantry going forward. They fought and died without any "kammerading."
 All day the enemy has been bringing up fresh bodies of troops A new guaro division has been identified as the first guards reserve. Three battalions of th1s elite body of troops were thrown into battle this afternoon and suffered almost as greatly as the fourth guards division last week. Another fresh for nation identified is the thirty-sixth division. Since the artillery duel prior to the battle reached it's height four enemy divisions, the seventh, eighth. eleventh and twenty second, have been Withdrawn in an exhausted condition. and of the four enemy divisions now confronting the Canadian corps. one fourth of the guards are "all in"
 Our casualties mount up, but are not to be compared to those of the Germans whose dead lie thckly all along the front and at some points are piled one upon another, as in the worst phases of the battle of the Somme. Lens has been name of tragic mean Ing to the enemy, but he clings on the musk of the city at fearful cost rather than confess defeat. The sun went down tonight upon the smoking ruins wherein men who had been battling for twenty hours still fought on oblivious of the passage of time.

sendin in wave after wave of troops in desperate counter attacks.
 The Canadians have held strongly and the Germans have suffered very heavy casualties, as they must have expected, from the rarure or -lne . counter thrusts, in which no thought IS given to the cost ot life
 The striking feature of the battle lies in the fact that the Germans also had massed troops for a counter attack at dawn against the newly acquired canadian positions in the northwest envlrons of Lens and had actually started their advance when they were surprised by encountering the on- rushing Canadians in No Mans Land.

 Canadian troops around Lens launched another attack converging
 upon the western environments of the town at half past o'clock this morn ing.
 Dawn broke with a thick haze and when the infantry went over the top they saw masses of shadowy gray fig ures advancing toward them. It was actually the fact that the Germans had planned an attack to be delivered at the identical moment of our own and what is probably one of the most des- perate hand to hand battles of the war enSued.
