WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE AND BELGIUM. Sept. 20
(By the Associated Press. THE Brit
ish at daybreak today launched a
heavy offensive against the German
defenses about the Ypres salient alonc
an extended front, which has its cen
ter around Inverness COpseh. and as
tride the Ypres-Menin road, a little
southeast of Hooge. From the first
moment of going over the top the as
sault proceeded with marked success.
especially in the crucial sector be-
tween the Ypres- Roulois railway and
Hollebeke, where the British early
in the day had forced their way for
ward over marshy ground and through
woods filed with machine-guns 70 a
considerable depth and were eontinu-
ing the bitter fight in the neighbor-
hood OF the famous Incerness Copse.

where so much blood has been shed
since the allies began the battle OF
Flanders on July 81.
Remarkable Feat.
If the attacking forces maintain the
positions to which they have advanc-
ed itnhis section they will have ac-
complished one of the most remark
able and important achievements in
recent months. The German infantry
made the most determined resistance
in their attempt TO regain this vital
ground and their artillery retaliatei
heavily against the British big guns.
Menin Road.
This phase of the battle of Flanders
which bids fair to become known as
the battle of Menin road, because IL
centers in the territory astride the
Menin road, began at $40 OclOck.
The infantry advance was preceded
by a barrage of greater depth than ev-
er before witnessed. Five distinct
barrages. in fact. were dropped ahead
of the men as they began their jour
ney into this difficult terrain The
tremendous curtain of bursting steel
did its work well. and the troops push
ed forward rapidly toward their OBJ
jectives.
Ground imp roved.
Fair weather lately had improved
the ground somewhat but the mud
still lies deep ever wide reaches Of il
and the whole territory is covered
with water-flled shell holes. tangled
barbed wire and shattered trees. The
German defenses consisted largely Of
concrete redoubts scattered in profu-
sion over the entire country and from
these they have been able TO pour a
stream of bullets into the ranks OF the
advancing troops. Every little eleya-
vation also held its machinegun en-
placements and all the woods were lit
orally choked with rapid firerS.
Hard Fight Encountered.
The British encountered hard fight
ing at many places but the magnih-
cent artillery preparation had done
much to make the first stage of their
drive easier. The past week must
have been one of misery for the Ger
man troops lying in this section \
great number of guns have been pour
ing numerous high-power shells into
their territory and every now and
then the British have put down bar
rage which swept the land like a
broom. II is known that many Ger
man batteries have been silenced IN
the past few days.

(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Sept 20. - The
price for copper was fixed today at
231s cents, about three cents below
the prevailing market. by agreement
between the government and leading
copper producers, effective for four
months.

themselves to maintain maximum
production and to prevent copper from
falling into the hands of spectators.
Prices Voluntary.
Although the price is fixed under
voluntary agreement between produc-
ers and the governments war indus
tries beard. with the presidents ap-
proYal, it was announced officially
that under the executive war power,
the proper departments of the gov

Recent government purchases of
copper for war purposes have been
made under agreement to pay the

Set BY Commission.
The price agreed upon today was
set after extensive investigation of
production by the federal trade COM
mission. The committees report was
said to have indicated that copper
could be sold profitably at a much
lower price than 2S15 cents, but in
reaching its decision the war indus
tries board, headed by Frank A. Scott
took into consideration that the price
should not be pared down to the point
where production would be discourag-
ed or wages reduced.
Three important conditions were
imposed by the board" said the an
nouncement. First, that the produc-
.ers would not reduce the wages now
being paid; second, that the operators
would sell to the allies and to the
public at the same price paid by the
government and take the necessary
measures, under the direction of the
war industries board, for the distri-
button Of copper, to prevent it from
falling into the hands of spectators
who would increase the price to the
public and third, that the operators
pledge themselves to exert every ef-
fort to keep the production of copper
at the maximum so long as the war
lasts"

UNEXPECTED
DEMANDS ARE
RESURRECTED
IN THE HOUSE
Substantial Increases in War
Profit Taxes VIII Be De-
manded by Certain Mem
bers of the Lower House of
Congress.
(By Review Leased Wire !

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-Unex-
pected demands of house members for
a substantial increase in war profits
taxes so complicated the contes. over
the war tax bill late today that final
enactment of the measure early next
week was doubtful.
Committee Meets
Coincident with the adjournment of
the conference committee a meeting
of the house ways and means commit
tee, which drew the original bill, was
called for tomorrow TO discuss the sit
uation, and some western and south
ern members Of the committee an
nounced they would demand an in
crease in the senate excess war profits
figures from $1,000 100000 to $780,
100000.
Persist in Contest
II was explained that the ways and
means committee would try to induce
the conferees to accept the larger fig
ure, but the high tax advocates of the
house declared they would carry the
contest to the floor of the house.
They announced that approximate

that approximately s2.5OO, 100000 more
money will be needed this year than

unless a start is made now to further
increase taxes, the country will be
swamped with bonds.
other Differences
Beside the differences on the excess
profits section. proposed advertising
and automobile taxes and second-class
mail rates were under consideration.
The postal rate dispute virtually has
been settled, a zone rate being agreed
upon, but the other proposals are con-
tested and may be submitted to the
ways and means committee tomorrow.
The bill as it finally will reach the
senate contained no advertising tax,
but in view of the proposed reduced
second-class mail rates some members
demand that it be reinserted.
Tentative Agreement
The entative agreement reached to-
day on postal rates proposes mainte-
nance of the present rate through the
first zone of so miles and graduated
zone increase above that point TO
something less than cents pound

men.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Sept. 20
Cooperation of labor in assuring the
government that the production of
supplies will not be halted by strikes
or lockouts during the war, was in
vited by American industry today in
resolutions approved by the industrial
relations section of the war conven-
ton here of American business men.
The resolution will be put before G'e
full convention tomorrow.
Cause of Unrest.
The action was taken after a stir
ring speech by Secretary of Labor
Wilson, who declared that the spirit
OF unrest among laboring men was
due in large measure to the generai
impression that business has been
making excessive profits in which la,
Dor has not shared.
Should Be No "Swag."
Has it ever occurred to you busi-
ness men," Secretary Wilson asked,
that the story has gone forth that
you are not patriotic; that you have
been profiteering? And did it never
occur to you that the workingman has
figurede to himself he will insist on
getting his share of the swag? My
position is that there should be no
'swag'
No Time for Demands.
81 have did to labor that this is
no time to insist on union recognition
and no time to insist on changes in
labor standards. But / also want to
say to you employers that this is no
time to stand on your prejudices, no
time to insist on profiteering. You
should not take advantage of your
country's necessities to insist on abb
normal profits"
Attitude of Industry.
The attitude of industry towards la
Dor as defined in the resolutions ap-
proved is as follows:
No Union Demands.
That no attempts be made by busi-
ness to change labor conditions and
that labor make no effort to force
union recognition or change in stand
ards.
No Profiteering.
THAT there be no profiteering in
business to give rise TO labor unrest.

government creation of a government

OKLAHOMA FEEDS
WHEAT TO LIVE
STOCK FOR CORN
Farmers Resent Price Recently
Fixed for Food Staple. Say
That Wheat Is Cheapest
Food for Hogs and Cattle.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. Sept. 20
Wheat is being fed to live stock as
a substitute for corn in many counties
of northeastern Oklahoma and pend
ing governmental action, very little
additional wheat will be marketed
from these counties at the price fixed
by the food administration, according
to a statement tonight by the state
board of agriculturs.
Corn Scarce.
The action of the farmers is due to a
number of causes, chief of which is
the scarcity of corn for feeding pur-
poses, coupled with the fact that the
farmer feels the government has
placed an arbitrary price upon his pro-
duct at a time when the law of supply
and demand is in his favor. without at
the same time fixing the prices of 9th
er articles for his resumption, the
statements says:
Statement Received.
First hand information of wheat
being led to stock in Blaine and Woods
counties has been received at this Of
fice," the statement continues, 'in the
form of reports from county agents.
Very little corn has been raised in
northwestern Oklahomn with one
county reporting a three per cent
crop.
Relative Values Same.
with corn worth S225 a bushel and
wheat bringing from $1.S0 to S1.95 at
the elevator. the farmers are using
wheat for fattening hogs. their rela-
tive food values being almost identi-
cal.
Wheat Cheapes
''In Woods county farmers are feed
ing wheat as the cheapest food they
have. Little wheat will be sold IN
til the price is raised, the county
agents report The government has
not fixed the price of corn.
According to these reports. the
farmer, who be it understood. is as
loyal as any other citizen and as anx-
ious to help win the war. feels that
he is being deprived of a righteous
profit from his product while others
are allowed to exact war profits with
out governmental interference"
The situation was brought to the at
tention OF j. NJ. Aydelotte, chairman
of the state council of defense.
FaIlacy Apparent.
while there is an apparent fallacy,"
Mr.. Aydelotte, ''in feeding hogs wheat
in Blaine county and holding wheat
less days in Oklahoma City, 100 miles
away, see no chance of relieving the
situation This is a matter clearly
within Mr.. Hoover's jurisdiction"
Wheat On Ground.
While no reliable statistics are
available agricultural authorities agree
that 60 per cent or 1S.OOO,OOO bushels
of Oklahoma's 1917 wheat still re-
mains on the ground.
