Washingtoa. Aug. 2l.-More wide
spread sentiment In favor Of adding
to the total of the war tax bill by i'm
posing higher rates on war profits
and income surtaxes became manifest
with the opening of the third week
Of debate.
Speeches advocating such increas-
es we're made by Senators johnson OF

his address in favor Of levying Writ
ually all war taxes upon incomes and
war profits Senator King IL prspar-
ing a substitute DILL providing much
higher rates on these sources.
No action was taken by the senate
during the day and little progress has
been made on the bill. After Senator
LaFollette's speech. however. It is
planned to proceed with the actual
consideration Of the incomes and war
profits sections. Leaders have tele-
graphed all absentees to be present
though they do not expect final action
on the two principal disputes before
Wednesday nor passage OF the bin
before next week.

opinion that the senate could not now
be induced to levy over SO per cent
The present bill is designed to assess
about 26 per cent
Senator Lafollette introduced two
amendments TO the income tar SEQ

proposed increase In surtaxes on In
comes between 5000 and s47,5O0 and
a maximum OF 3S per cent on all over

Again the great Anglo-French war

and other important positions were
taken Thursday and more than 1900
prisoners already have been count

area was on front OF nine miles,
and only on the extreme right were
the allied forces unable to make
progress. The Germans resisted
stubbornly, suffering heavy losses,
but Oh the greater part Of the front
they were forced to leave valuable
positions in the possessions of the
Allies. Throughout Thursday bitter
fighting continued. On the left the
French occupied the ground between
the User Canal and Martjevaart and
then drove the Germans from the
important bridgehead of Dreigrach-

Woodrow Wilson was on Monday
last inaugurated to succeed himself
as President Of the United States
He entered upon his second term in
a most trying time and under the
most serious conditions that have
ever faced a President of the United
States since tie close Of the Civil
War. We have not agreed with the
President in many Of his policies
during the past four years and per-
haps will not agree with him in his
views on many public questions dur
ing his second term Of office but re-
gaIdless Of whether we agree or DIS
agree with his policies as true Amer
lean citizens we stand loyalty behind
him as President Of the United
States and IN the present crisis due
TO the differences b, tween this coun-
try and Germany he has our support
in whatever course he may find bsst
to pursue for the good of the ameri-
can people.
This is critical time and We be-
lieve that the President has the sup
port Of every citizen of the United
States and come what may he will
find the people solidly b e.
hind him ready and willing to do
their part in helping him to carry to
d successful conclusion whatever
policy he may adopt towards Ger
many or towards any other nation in
this great crisis. The inaugural adj
dress OF the President shows that be
deeply realizes the grave conditions
that are now facing this country and
that it ls time for all Americans tc
fully believe 10 and appreciate the
fact that the true spirit Of American
ism should he indelibly planted il
the heart of every American citizon
In this hour there is one great neeC
of the nation today and this is Sc
forth strikinglY by the President il
this inaugural speech;
@And it is important that We
should stand together. We are be-
ing forged into a new unity amidst
the fires that now blaze throughout
the world. In their ardent heat we
shall, in Gods providence, let US
hope, be purge OF faction aud divi-
sion, purified Of the errant humors Of
party and of private interest and
shall stand forth 10 the days to come
with new dignity of national pride
and spirit. Let each man see TO it
that the dedication is in bis own
heart, the high purpose of the nation

What the futare will bring forth

can rest assured that 10 bis dealings
