WORKING ON REVISION
 OF WAR TAX BILL
Additional Taxes on Intoxicating Rev.
 erages Favored By Senate Committee

Washington, July 3o.-Revision of the war tax bill to increase it's total from s1.67O, 900. 900 to about g 900 000.- 900 was undertaken today by the sen ate finance committee while house leaders informally discussed measures to provide still further against the in creased estima tes of this years war. expenditures.
 Final action was postponed by the senate committee but Chairman Sim mons said tonight that the present consensus of committee opinion indi- cates the following changes will be made in the tax measure:
 Imposition of most of the tax in crea ses on corporations and individu- als having incomes of $2O,000 and more.
 Material notifications of the so- called Jones amendment which in it's present form ievies 15 per cent upon corporations undistributed surplus
 No increase of the normal income tax rate on individuals, but an in crease. probably to s per cent of that on corporations.
 Additional taxes on intoxicating beverages, including whiskey, beer and wines.
 Increase of some of the consumption taxes imposed in the bill on sugar, tea, coffee and cocoa and possibly addi- tion of a few new small taxes
 The exact division of the new tax burden has not been decided but in- creased corporation income taxes prob ably will raose about S170,000 900 of the $500 00O, 900 to be added to the bill six per cent. It is per cent. under present law and an increase to per cent. was provided in the bill as it passed the house.

Despite the activity of German spies, who are trying to create disaffection in the Ruma nian army, the Ruma nians and Russians fighting near the north western border of Rumania continue to press forward in the Casin and Putna valleys, having captured six ad- ditional villages and added materially to the aggregate of men made prisoner and guns captured. Fifty of the Ger man spies, disguised as Russian sol diers, are reported to have been caught and shot.
 There has been a considerable fall ing off in the intensity of the British artillery fire on the Flanders front due, according to Berlin, to "the para iyzing influence of our offensive activi- ty." Here the Germans are said to have concentrated the greatest num- Der of guns that they have ever mass ed on any one sector and are using them to their full capacity, evidently in an endeavor to ward off any con remplated infantry attack by Field Marshal Haig's forces.
 It cannot be said, however. even with the diminution in the intensity of the British fire, that the artillery duel has fallen much below the stage of extreme violence for all along the front, from the coastal region south ward the big guns continue to roar and hurl tons upon tons of steel in reciprocal bombardments.

RUSSIANS NOT ESSENTIAL
 TO ENTENTE VICTORY.
Lloyd George States That Great Britain
 and France Can Win.

London July 3O.-Addressing the press representatives in the gallery of the house of commons today, Premier Lloyd George referred to the buoyancy of the French nation after three years of war and said:
 T found during my visit to Paris that the spirit of the French people was better than I had ever known it. There was a sense of discoura cement at the collapse of the Russian armies, but in spite of all the French were as resolute S ever
 Tt depends very largely upon the French whether we shall get through to the end. If the French and our selves hang together, we shall get through to the end despite our Rus sian troubles. The Russians are an incalculable quantity; they fought when we least expected them and they hung back at times when it seemed they ought to go on. My latest in format tion is that Russia will recover and become as formidable as she ever has been."

GRIEF OVER DEATH OF
 WIFE CAUSE OF SUICIDE
D. G. ScoHeId Former President of |

Oakland, Cal, July 3o.-D. G.

Despondency due to grief over the death of his wife five years ago is believed to have been responsible. He was "A years old.
 Scof1eld was one of the remaining oil operators who laid the foundation for the Standard Oil Company at Oil Creek, Pa, many years ago with John D. Rockefeller. He came to this state later and established the original company which formed the nucleus for the California corporation.

REPORTS OF GERMAN SPY
 ACTIVITIES IN MEXICO
Ambassador Fletcher to Call the At tention of the Mexican Government to the Matter.

Washington, July 30.-So numerous have become the reports of German spy activities and propaganda in Mex leo that Ambassador Fletcher is pre- pared his arrival at Mexico City to call the attention of the Mexican government to the links in that coun- try between Berlin and German agents in the United States.
 Officials of the state department do not question the integrity of the Mex ican government, but the reports have left no room to doubt the existence of a German organization in Mexico whose machinations may be defined as a violation of MeXicos neutrality. The Carranza government is believed in fact to be disturbed by the abuse of it's hospitality, and there is a feeling here that the time is not far distant when certain representatives in Mex ico Of the German foreign office may be officially questioned to their ac tivities.
 It will be pointed out to the Mexi- can government that in the event of reasonable proof of undue activities by any German consul or diplomat precedent for expulsion from the country can be found in the cases of Dumba. Won Papen and Boy-Ed.
