WAR TAX REVISION
 BILL IS COMP LIFTED
MEASURE VIRTUALLY REWRlT- TEN BY THE SENATE FL
 NANCE COMMITTEE.

Washington.-Rey of the S1,- S00,000,000 war tax bill passed by the House five weeks ago was completed by the Senate finance committee. The measure virtually was rewritten and reduced to $1,652, ,170,00O, with no au- thorization of additional bonds. The final draft was sent to the printer and will be given formal committee ap- proyal and reported to the Senate by Chairman Simmons.
 Incomes and excess profits will bear about two-thirds of the new tax bur dens under the revised bill-about 8 half billion dollars each-with a large share of the remainder secured from liquors and tobacco Many House taxes were entirely eliminated by the committee and others added.
 Radical increase of taxes on war excess profits of corporation, partner ships and individuals decided upon enabled the committee to dispense with the suggestion for an additional bond issue of from $500, 100000 to ST. 0O0,000,O0O Senator Stone withdrew an amendment for a $500,000,000 is- sue. While the bill falls short by nbout $500 100000 of meeting the treasury estimates of war expenses next year, the committee decided that by issuing $135,000,000 of authorized but unsold Panama Canal bonds the expenses can be met until Congress reconvenes in December.
 AS finally drafted, the mdeh-debated publishers tax section proposes five per cent tax upon publishers profits over $4,0O0 yielding $7,50O000 reve- nue, and an increase of one-fourth cent pound in second-class postage rates, yielding S3,000, 900.
 Excess profits due to the war, un- der the revised bill, would bear $780, 100000 in taxes, graduated from 12 to 40 per cent, according to the propor- ton of excess. This is an increase of S505, ,00O, 900 over such taxes under the present law, of which repeal is pro posed, and $3O5,00O,0OO more than was proposed by the House bill.
 From income taxes $532, 700, GOO would be raised, $66.OO0,OOO less than the House provided-the decrease being made entirely upon incomes of S40000 annually and above-with the committee approving the House plan of $1,O00 for single persons, $2,O00 for married persons, additional normal taxes of two per cent upon incomes up to S5,000, and surtaxes graduated from one to 3S per cent upon larger incomes.

THEY ADVANCE TO KoNfUTcHY STREAM AND TAKE SEVEN GUNS
 -KERENSkY LEADS MEN.
10000 GERMANS CAPTURED
Premier Has Authorized Regiments Which Participated in Fighting July 1, Red Revolutionary Flags and
 Name, Regiments July First"

New York.-Prisoners exceeding 10000, and the capture of the village of Koniutchy and strongly fortified po- sitions southwest of Brzezany are the first fruits of the new Russian attack In eastern Galicia, north of Koniut- chy, the Russians have attacked and fresh battles are in progress.
 The Russian artillery, long inactive from lack of shells, played an inn portant part in the defeat of the Aus tro-Germans at Kentucky For two days rain of iron was thrown into the German positions, and Berlin says officially that they were turned into a crater field
 The Russians carried three lines of German trenchces and Koniutchy, which was strongly fortified, and also advanced to the Koniutchy stream south of the village, which is on the Zlota Lipa river.
 Around Brzezany the fighting was most bitter, and Berlin says that Is Russian divisions were thrown for ward. The Russians carried the for tified Teuton positions at several points in face of a desperate resist ance by Austria, German and Turk ish troops.
 Minister of War Kerensky, who led the Russian revolutionary army in it's attack in message to Premier Lvoff, says that the offensive proved to Rus sia and the entire world it's fidelity | to the revolution, and it's love for lib erty and country" The premier has authorized Minister Kerensky to give the regiments which participated in the fighting of July 1, red revolution ary flags, and the name Regiments July first"
 On the western front there has been little activity. But the British and Germans have carried out raids in the area around Lens and northward. On the Aisne front, between Cerny and Allies, the French have regained line of trenches from the Germans after spirited fighting.
 In the Trentino. south of Riva, the Austrians have attacked Italian po- sitions between Lake Garda and the Ledro valley. Rome reports that all the Austrian efforts were checked with losses.
 Venice has been again attacked by Austrian airplanes. Italians raided Priest in reprisal.

AMERICA SUPPLIES
 GEMAAY WITH FATS
THEY HAVE BEEN SHIPPING TO ENEMY THROUGH NEUTRALS-
 COULD RATION WHOLE ARMY.

Nashington-Th United States, unwillingly, has been furnishing Ger many with the most valued of the food products she herself lacks for the successful prosecution of the war.
 Fats in sufficient quantity to ration all of Germany's 100000 men under arms are entering the Feutonic em- pires from Holland and Scandinavia. These countries get these products di- rectly or indirectly from the United States Hence the desire for speed on the part of the administration in making effective the embargo author ized by Congress.
 Herbert c. Hoover, food administra. tor, made public for the first time the definite figures in this trade which have impelled the United States to hasten the rigorous control of exports to these countries. The figures come from English sources. They are re- garded as conservative.
 Supposedly neutral merchants have made fortunes out of this illicit trade with our enemies. So extensive has their business become that scores Of men in Holland, Norway and Sweden are known through all the cafes and places of resort as the "Goulash mll- lionaires."
 Congress has already provided for the exports council consisting of Sec retary Lansing, Secretary Houston and Secretary Redfeld. Secretary Redheld is the executive officer of the council.
 It's orders, requiring all exporters of food from the United States to se~ cure a license under which their busi- ness with the Teuton feeding ports be absolutely controlled, may be expect ed to be made effective during the week through a proclamation by the president.
 Indicative of the importance of this trade to Germany, experts here have figured that the calories contained are the equal of the calories in the entire ration of 2,500,O00 German sol diers. This is about the number or men which Germany now has on the western front.
 The publication of the figures by MT. Hoover assures prompt action. This action will not deprive the peo- ple of neutral countries of a food sup ply to which they are entitled. Their supply will be so restricted that they will have some to pass on to Ger many.
 Germany has used her trade rela- tions with the northern neutrals to coerce them. They have needed Ger man coal. Germany has released to them certain amounts of coal in re- turn for fats
 Exemplifying the way the United States has lent itself to the trade at tention was again called here to the huge imports of oil cake into Den mark, Holland, Norway and Sweden. The oil cake was fed to cattle and the rich milk it makes turned into butter and cheese and sent 10 Germany.
