Italians Have Great Guns at

By Henry Wood

With the French Armies in the Field
Aug. ga new zenith in destructive
ness is being set today by French ar
tillery fire out of Verdun. The hail of
fire which French gunners have pour
ed and still continue to pour against
the Germans today has far exceeded in
its pulverizing damage TO the enemy
the unprecedented horror of the great
German guns at Liege and Brussels,
as those busy Berthas' in the early
days of the war, surpassed all previous
artillery.
From vantage points in the former
German line reached today, the French
found villages literally ground to piec-
es. Moreover, they had been villages
converted into concrete and steel fort
resses by the enemy. French mortars
crumbled the great German citadel on
Dead Man, s hill. Their shells bored far
under ground there to explode and de-
stroy complicated galleries.
Looking at this destruction today,
French officers understood how it hap
pened on the first. day Of the great
drum fire preparation several scores Of
Germans deserted to the French lines,
unable to stand the strain On the day
following a hundred more surrendered.
One entire platoon of Germans desert
ed and arrived at the French lines
marching in regular order with full
complement of men in command Of Ger
man officers.
Strong Points Taken
The hills of Dead Man and Ole were
taken by encircling movements after
the pulverizing French artillery fire.
Then the infantry advanced to Ruis-
seaux es Forges There they destroyed
eight German mortars and captured
two German army majors, one captain
and chief officer of engineers.
The same French troops which on
December 10, captured the bloody Pep
per Ridge was granted the honor of
the advance beyond Dead Mans hill
against Talou Ridge and Hill 344. This
was really the center Of the great drive
The Germans had built their strongest
defensive works there. When they saw
the advancing waves of French they
literally drenehed the whole territory
with gas. The poilus donned masks and
went on. They penetrated two miles in
exactly one hour, encircling the pro-
montories.
German prisoners were sent back to
announce this victory and personally
to testify to the supremacy of French

Washington, Aug. 23.-There never
was war that afforded less justifiea
tion for war profits than that in which
your country is now engaged.
The fundamental purpose of this wal
is to establish inviolability of human
rights.
In my opinion the rate of taxation
upon war profits should be brought
down to nearly peace profits.
For this war our republic has felt
justified in enforcing compulsory mil
itary service, at the constant hazard
of health, body and life; to require
the full man power in producing and
transportation. That corporations, com
paaies and even individuals should have
the opportunity to coin the flesh and
blood of their countrymen into war pro-
fits, is abhorrent to justice and human
ity and in conflict with the very ideals
for which our people and their allies
are eontending.
Would Make War Popular.
No single determination would do
more to unity the nation behind the
government s efforts in this war and
establish a feeling of equity and Sc
curity, than to tax war profits so heav-
lily as to virtually wipe out of exist
enee profits resulting from the war. 1t
has long been charged that there are
industries AMI financial interests which
have even endeavored to provoke war
that they might profit thereby. Even
now, despite the fact that America has
Joined in this world struggle for the
most exalted, fundamental principles
and ideals, the false charge has been
levelled against us that this is war
for profits.
By preventing profits from our pres
ent war IS necessities nothing would tend
so much to enroll the spirit, conscience
and activity of our people in one great
homogeneous task to win the war for
justice, freedom and democracy the
world over.
In recognition of the unusual eondi-
tions attending war production, in my
opinion the rate of taxation upon war
profits should be brought down to near

ly normal peace profits, and surely the
history Of industry of the United States
demonstrates the fact that those pro-
fits are niggardly to enterprise and
wealth.
Pay Much AS We Go.
1t is my judgment that it would be
extremely unwise for our government
to raise all the revenue of this war for
democracy and humanity through bor-
rowing and mortgaging the future. I'm
der the borrowing principle, safe loans
are made to the government for which
full compensation is guaranteed.
Interest on loans and often loans
themselves must be repaid by taxation
levied upon the people and which of
course fall more heavily ON the poor
than upon the wealthy.
By taxation on war profits, incomes
and inheritance, our country can in
large part meet the expense of the war
as we proceed with that great enter
prise.
The American labor movement has Of
fieially endorsed the principle of tax
alton of war profits. Indeed the justifi-
cations of the principle cannot be ques-
TONED. In defense of the principles of
this republic the government has the
right to ask the service of the citizens
of the country and to use for defensive
purposes all of the resources or the
country

massed aerial fighting forces on both

ties Of the skies.
In the thick of it is the Lafayette
squadron of American flyers. They are

quarters today it was declared the

such fierce fighting or flying. German
aviators around Verdun are thick and

concentrated an unprecedented number
of anti-aircraft guns. Her gunners are
infinitely more accurate than ever be

Nevertheless the Lafayetters are dai-

patrol trips daily over the entire Yer

JAPAN READY TO SEND
Army TO AID RUSSIA
Allies Hesitate About Accept
ing Her Terms On Account
Of after the War

Washington, Aug. 23.-Nippon and
America held preliminary conferences
on war today. Members of the Mika-
dos commission saw Secretaries Lans-
ing, Baker and Daniels and tonight will
be the guests of President Wilson.
The commission comes officially only
as a fellow worker in the war and to
welcome this nation in the fight
against Germany. So did the other al
lied commissions-but all considered
momentous steps before they left. This
will be true Of the japanese too.
Now their visit is of particular in
terest Russia Is military machine
needs bolstering up. The japanese
have offered to deliver this and await
only word from the allied governments
to hurl an army against the Germans
along the east front. But the allies
hesitate, presumably on account of the
price Japan demands.
Japan has demonstrated her claim Of
paramount interest" in Far Eastern
affairs. This interest has proved a
stumbling block in many instances dur
ing the progress of the war.
Viseount Ishii today told Secretary
Lansing Of his pleasure at the recep-
ton accorded the commission and
brought a message of good will from
the mikado to the president.
