UNDIVIDED SURPLUS To
BEAR A LIGHTER TAX
Senate Finance Committee
Further ReviseS the War
Tax Bill.

Washington, Aug. 2.-In further re-
vision of the war tax bill, the senate
finance committee today decided to re-
duce from Is to 10 per cent the tax
rate on corporations undivided surplus,
which large interests have vigorously
opposed. The new 10 per cent rate
also would not be applicable to un-
distributed surplus actually invested
and employed in business or retained
for employment in the reasonable re-
uuirements of the business.
The change was made in what is
known as the Jones amendment and
virtually is a surtax on corporate in
comes. The modification provides that
should corporations retain surplus in
come, ostensibly to use in their busi-
ness. and then hold the surplus with
out using it, the original Is per cent
rate shall apply
No other revisions of the bill were
agreed upon today but the committee
hopes to complete 1t by Saturday for
beginning of senate debate next week.
The tax on surplus applies in addi-
ton to corporations. to joint stock
companies or associations and insur-
ance companies. payable upon 1915
incomes.

BRITISH RETAIN
POSITIONS WON
FROM GERMANS
KaiSer'S Troops Make Desper-
ate Defense of the Ground
They Retain.
THE WAR SUM MMARY.

Germany is battling with despera.
tion probably unparalleled in the war
to hold her lines in Flanders against
the combined Anglo French attack.
Notwithstanding the heavy handicap
which the atrocious weather has inn
posed on them, however, the ertcnte
forces have made good their most i'm.
portant gains and apparently are only
awaiting clearing conditions to blast
their way further into the Teutonis
front. The boasts of successful re-
sistance to the entente thrust that
have come from the Berlin war Of
flee were based, as usual, on the an
warranted assumption that an at
through and upon the fact that at
one or two points the German resc
ton resulted in some of the far ad
vaneed forces Of the allies being
pushed back.
Today, however. comes the an
nouncement from London that despite
the hampering rainfall the British
have negatived the results of one of
the German counter thrusts, COM
pletely re-establishing their line in
the neighborhood of the Roulers-
Ypres railway as the outcome OF a
night attack.
Where there may be some inclina-
tion on the part of lay critics to re-
gard with some misgivings stress laid
upon the bad weather by the official
reports that indicate a hold up of the
allied advance, military observers at
the front apparently are I'm entire
agreement with the seriousness OF this
handicap.

'ATEMENT OF GREEN

Indianapolis. Aug. 2.-The idea of
6mations of attempts to call out the
kited Mine Workers of America,
buld the government not intervene

les in certain sections of the west,

ftation of members of the United

SAM SOON TAKES
OVER AMERICAN VESSELS

freight rates charged by American
ships and a rate basis being worked
out will be used for building an inter-
national rate.
The chief aim in Communicating
charters is to get more ships into
trans Atlantic service. Many Ameri-
can coastwise vessels and ships now
engaged in the Pacific and South
American trade will be diverted to
transatlantic runs. Their places will
be taken to a large extent by neu-
trail ships and by Japanese tonnage.
The plan is to commander charters
and wherever advisable let the ship
itself be operated by its owner under
a government charter. In this way
the government will direct operations,
at the same time avoid expenditure of
the vast sum of money that would be
required il the hulls themselves were
taken over. Wherever operators fail
to carry out the shipping boards reg
ulations, charters win be taken from
them and given to others.
