HIGHER TAX ON WAR
 PROFITS REJECTED
FOR GRADUATED SYSTEM ARE LOST.

Washington.-In rapid succession the Senate bowled over by over whelming majorities three more pro- posals from the group of senators seeking to increase the levies on war profits in the tax bill.
 An amendment by Senator Hollis to tax war profits only at higher rates and to strike out the finance com mittee's new clause levying S42S,000,- GOO additional on ordinary excess prof it's was rejected, 57 to 12 Then, without debate, one by Senator La Toilette to fix rate of 50 per cent, designed to raise not less than S1,- S00,000, ,000 on war profits, was beaten, 50 to IS. The minimum fiat rate pro- posal of 50 per cent of the high tax group presented by Senator Hollis was voted down, 5 to IS.
 With three setbacks the fight to substitute a flat rate for the graduat- ed system of the excess war profits section virtually ended and the con- test entered a new stage.
 The group still hopes to increase the tax levy by raising the graduated rates, but finance committee leaders are confident that the bill will stand substantially as now written-provid- ing for a levy of about one-third on war profits, or an increase Of S1,O60,- 0OO 900 over the present revenue of 2.6,000,000.
 Senators Hollis and Kenyon led the discussion for the high rates. with Senator Shoot leading the defense Of the finance committees draft. A bill totaling O0o00,000 was urged by Senator Hollis, who insisted there had been a fiat levy of at least 60 per cent on war profits.
 In bitter terms Senator Kenyon scored the Senate for voting down the increases proposed. He spoke of Unreasonable profits" and said made ouate conscription of wealth and i'm position of irritating consumption taxes on the masses of the people would be responsible for unpopularity of the bill.
 Senator Shoot attacked the Hollis plan to exempt normal but extremely large excess profits from taxation, as serting many millions of ordinary corporate Alrnings would escape tax ation by the proposal.

MATTER CANNOT BE SUBJECT OF DIPLOMATIC DIScUSsIoN-
 PROVINCES ARE FRENCH.
PREPARATION IS DEMANDED
Ribot Declares France Does Not ASK That Aggressor Be Fined, But That He Be Obliged To Repair the
 Damage He Has Done.

Paris.-France will not compromise on the question of recovery of Aisace and Lc,-raine, Premier Ribot declared in an address delivered in connection with the celebration of the anniver- sary of the battle of the Marne He said France would not consent 10 dlp- lomatic discussion as to whether the provinces should he restored. O
 The premier paid tribute to the soldiers who fell on the MarneI and to the general who led Frances ar- mics to victory.
 France makes pretensions only for the recovery of it's own-to regain pos session of it's provinces, wrenehed from it by the odious abuse Of force, he said. Let no one ask France to compromise upon that question. The nation could not do it without betray- ing the cause of justice. What pre- face would be given to the peace which it is sought to found upon the rights of peoples if the injustice con- summated half a century ago should be conseerated anew.
 "The restoration of Alsace and LOT. raine is not one of those questions that may be given over to discussion by diplomats. It is the very condition of the establishment of the rights o nations which ought to guarantee peace in the future against fresh vio- lence."
 The premier added that France, in demanding reparation for devastation which it had been made deliberately to suffer. would still be within the role of champion of justice.
 France does not ask that the az gressor be fined" he said, "hut 6ply that the aggressor be obliged to repair the damage he has done"

Bridge Case Appealed.

The case of J. F. Mullins against the mayor and City Council of Little Rock, in which it is sought to enioin the defendants from creating the Broadway Bridge Improvement Ds triet, was appealed to the Supreme Court. The case originated in the Pulaski Chancery Court, where Null lins' petition was denied. He con tends that the building of the bridge is county and not a local improve ment; also that the collection each year on the assessment of benefits to property in the proposed district would exceed one-half of one per cent of the value of property assessed by the county assessor for taxation DIT poses. The constitution prohibits any county from leying a tax of more than one-half Of one per cent for all pnr- poses. It is expected that when the Supreme Court meets September IT it will be asked to advance the ease as matter of public interest, that an early decision may be reached.

RAIDS ON HOSPITAL
 WERE DELIBERATE
REAL AMERICAN SPIRIT DISPLAY ED DURING BOMBARDMENT-
 MEN REMAINED AT POSTS.
FIRST U. S, CASUALTY LIST
Correspondent Gives Details of the Latest German Barbarity-6osches Dropped Silver Coins On Camp
 As Souvenirs.

Scene of the Bombardment of Amer ican Hospitals in Franee-German "frightfulness" and barbarity reached a new height when Bosche aviators dropped bombs on this American hos pital camp, killing one officer, three privates and a patient and wounding 10 others
 The raids upon the hospitals were deliberate. That the Americans might not forget, the Bosches dropped Ger man coins over the camp as souvenirs. These souvenirs were pfennig pieces.
 The officer in command of the Har- yard hospital unit. which suffered most. showed me one of the coins. The survivors of the raids, indignant and bitter at the display of barbarity in the attack on the defenseless hos pitals, all declared they believed the German pilots deliberately dropped the coins as souvenirs" of the visit.
 The officers, men and nurses dis played real American spirit end hero ism under the enemy bombardment from the skies.
 With bombs bursting about them and men already wounded being torn by pieces of the exploding missiles, nurses hastened to their aid. Officers stood at their posts, men responded to every call upon them, and the first American units to be under ene- my fire carried out the work they had to do with the utmost bravery.
 Following is the first American cas- ualty list of the war-the men of mercy. sent to their deaths by Ger man frightfulness.
 First Lieut. William T. Fitzsim- mons, Kansas City; adiutant to the colonel commanding the Harvard unit.
 Private Leslie c. Wood. Streator, III
 Private Rudolph Rubino, New York.
 Oscar c. Tugo. Boston.
 Wounded: Three first lieutenants, six private, one nurse.
 A visit to the hospital camp reveal ed that there were two raids. The first took the heaviest toll. But evi- dence is conclusive that the raids were deliberate. Officers here declar- ed enemy aviators flew over the hos pitals more than once during daylight hours.
 With their markings and their foca- ton there could be no mistake of the identity of the buildings. The land marks are also such that they could be readily mapped by an aviator, and the location of the hospitals fixed Nevertheless, bombs were hurled down on the defenseless buildings with their scores of equally defenseless attend ants and patients.
 The Chicago Hospital narrowly es- caped the fate that befell the Harvard and St. Louis units. One large bomb was apparently aimed at the Chicago Hospital It landed across road from the building, but failed to ex- plode.
 Fitzsimmons was probably the first of the Americans killed. He heard the warning when the enemy airplanes were si ted.
