DEBATE ON WAR TAX BILL
Publishers Profits Dispute Goes Over
While Postage Increase Sections
Are Discussed.

Washington, Aug. t2S.LWhile the
leaders prepared for the contest over
war profits taxation, the senate began
consideration OF the postage increase
sections of the war tax bill with de-
bate on profits dispute set for Wednes-
day. Increasing contention gave little
promise of sending the bill to confer
ence before next week.
Efforts by Chairman Simmons to OBJ
tain unanimous consent agreement
for a final vote on the bill at 4 p. m.
next Saturday failed. Efforts to fix
time for disposing of the income and
war profits sections also were unavatl-
ing.
Senator Simmons withdrew his mo-
tons and announced he would ask
that the war profits section come up
for consideration as soon as the pos
tai rates provisions have been agreed
upon. pa
Beginning debate on the postage
sections, Senator Hardwick moved to
strike out that levying cent increase
on letters. " "
Increase in the rates for transport
ing newspapers was Endorsed by SEN
ator Harding, an Ohio newspaper pub
fisher who declared that there was
no reason why newspapers should not
pay a reasonable amount to cover the
cost Of their distribution.

Germans Surprised When Resistance
10 Met Wlth--ousted From
Positions.

Petrograd, Aug. 2Ss-Russian troops
holding positions on the oginsky canal,
about IL miles from Pinsk, brought
hope to the Russian situation by a
magnificent defense made against Ger.
man attacks.
German forces evidently had pre-
pared for taking the positions, for
attacks were squarely directed, and It
seemed apparent they did not expect
the opposition met.
Russian bravery, spurred on by
knowledge of the Importance of the
position, led to complete repulse of
the enemy In one of the fiercest en-.
gagements held In the region.
Preparatory to the attack the Ger
mans set up terrific bombardment Of
the positions. Under the CALLING fire
the Russians gave way for time and
the Germans were enabled to occupy
some of the advanced Russian trenches
Then the Russians regained their
morale. Charge after charge was
made by them, and under their bril-
liant dashes the Germans finally were
compelled to give way and yield the
trenches they had captured. The attack
was dismal failure.
On the Caucasian front the Turks
were routed at several points and sub
stantial gains made by the Russian
forces. This report shows that activ.
ity has been renewed ON that front
after period of comparative quiet.
The new German offensive on the
Riga front has been brought to an end
without attaining any important sue.

the war plan of Germany to overcome
France, then Great Britain and then
