 DRAGGING SLOWLY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Wrang- les between conferees on the war tax bill today over second class mail rates excess profits and the fact that news of the secret conferences has been Altering out halted progress so mater ldIly that a report to both houses this week seemed doubtful
 Refusal of senate conferees to ap- prove finally the tentative agreement to accept limited zone system on second class rates developed situa- tion that still was causing heated de- hate at adjournment tonight. The house members demand a general zone system i'll accordance with the wishes of Secretary McAdoo and other ad- ministration leaders while senate con- ferees insist there shall be no increase of more than quarter of cent a pound in the present one cent rate
 The leak" feature of the confer ences is causing some conferees much worry and others an equal amount of amusement. Resolutions pledging se- crecy solemnly adopted at the outset of the conferences, have been strength ened so that any conferee who gives out information rega. cing the bill now is subject to exclusion from further conferences.
 Publication of the fact that tenta = tive agreement had been reached to throw the motor car tax back on man ufacturers as originally proposed by the house brought a flood of personal and telegraphic protests to the cap itol

J. J. Ferguson, the stenegrapher w. C. Radcliffe, county attorney here al the time of the murder, and C. E. Jack son, then sheriff, testified that the defendant had not seemed altogether normal mentally when they talked with him.

The most hopeful sign in the situa-
tlOn on the Western front, where the
issue of the war will be decided, is the
triumph CT initiative And to General
Byng, or to a master mind behind his
own, belongs the credit.
Not in the number of prisoners
taken; not III the extent of territory
rcgained-but in the return to the
principles of the surprise attack and
in it's resultant stimulus to the morale
of the Allied forces is the victory most
significant.

be said that the victory marks the be-
ginning of a new, and perhaps the
anal, stage of the war.
At the Marine and at Verdun the
French had a stesdying cry, They

the Marine civilization was saved. At

1t was enough at the Marine and at

1t is not enough now. The lines must
go forward.

when the American patrol re-
turned to its own lines just before
dawn the mans absence was not i'm
mediately discovered. Then the lieu
tenant, sweeping every inch of the
ground with his glasses, located his
missing man tucked away in crater.
Germans discovered him, too.
THE soldier crouched down in his
haven while the Bcches locsed their
machine guns and began hurting
grenades at him. His lieutenant, dis
regarding ccncealment, stood up over
the trench and violently tried to wig
wag him on how to creep back to the
American lii.es.
Then TIE lieutenant slipped over
the top and crawled down ravine.
The Germans discovered him almost
at cnce. They transferred ali their
fire to his CT eeping figure.
Back in the American trenches the
troops watched breathlessly, firing a
barrage to protect the slow-moving
creeper. In some miraculous way the
lieutenant reached his man and the
two turned back, scuttling along close
to the ground, with bullets whistling
over their heads and cutting the high
weeds all about them

AN UNNAMED HERO

His name has not been told vet, 1t
is not his name but his example that
counts. For his story is one of the
first of those narratives of bravery
that will thrill the hearts of the Amer
lean people and convince them that
the quality which is Americanism has
by no means been lost.
Not many stories of valor have
been told. 1t is not because cur men
have not been valorous, but because
it takes high quality of bravery in
deed to win especial mention in these
days when the demands upon the ca
bles are SO heavy and varied.
Here is the story of the unnamed
aero, told in the plain, matter-of-fact
style of the correspondent who must
not be prodigal with his words be-
cause each one demands its toll
THE lieutenant had led a night pa
troll. He and his men had already
been on duty thirteen hours in the
trenches. They crawled out over No
Mans Land and lay fiat on the
ground, listening and awaiting Ger
man patrols. One man, utterly ex-
hausted, fell asleep in a shell hole
close to the German entanglements.

IN the campaign for special funds
to carry on war work, the recent
drive of the Young Mems Christian
Association takes a unique position
Over-subscribed by more than fifteen
millions Of dollars, the response of
the country is tribute to a generous
peoples confidence in the agency of
distribution.
Early in the drive it was stated
that the gifts would not, and could
not be construed as contributions to
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion, but rather to the soldiers direct.
And the promise has been given that
the money will all serve the purpose
intended.
But how will this huge sum of
$50, 100000 be spent?
A tentative budget was presented
in the outline OF the plans for the
campaign. 1t called for the follow
ing expenditures:
l. To promote the physical moral
and social welfare OF the enlisted
men Of the American Army and Navy
on this side of the Atlantic,
81, 100000.
2, To render similar service for
the American enlisted men overseas,
$12,000,000.
3. For extending such work among
the armies of the Allies, $7,00O,0 600
4. For similar work among pris-
oners of war. at least $1,000 900.
5. To provide for inevitable expan-
sion, 100000.
When the complete reports had
been received and it was known that
the fund had been SO largely over
subscribed, John, r. Mott, General
Secretary of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association, made this state
ment:
Y. Nj. C. A. Work to Be Extended
THE fact that the fund will be cd
ministered by q finance committee of
which George w. Perkins is chair
man, and composed of other men
with both experience in financial
matters and knowledge of Y. M. G. A.
work, insures the most economical
application of the money contributed.
We are preparing a definite plan for
the extension of the association work
in camps both here and abroad This
will be announced soon"
Confronted by fund that opens
new possibilities, the directors of the
Y. M. c. A. work are going about
their planning in a deliberate, pains
taking fashion.
This much can be said, even at this
early date, that the work as already
under way in all camps and canton
ments will be subject to a new inten-
siication Those at the head of the
Young Mems Christian Association
realize that not only are the govern
mental agencies looking to them to
uphold the morale of the armies,
which, in fine analysis, is more i'm
portant than ordnance; but the whole
body of the American people has
come to look upon them as stewards
of the welfare of the men who com
prise the Army and the Navy.
Comforts such as have been pro-
vided for no armed forces in the his
tory of the world will be provided for
the men of America. Every possible
effort will be made to care for them
in mind and body.
Already the advance guard of the
Young Mems Christian Association is
in France. Already it has heartened
