tariff TO maintain its industrial pros
perity.
The Pennsylvania Senator sharply
criticised the Administration for delay
IN settling controversies with manu-
lacturers, declaring relentless prose-
cutlon OF the war was being held up
and that an element of uncertainty as
to the amount of revenue to be de-
rived had been injected into considera-
ton of the tax bill
1t seems to me-" he said, referring
10 disputes over prices of war material,
that speed and prompt delivery is the
essence Of the emergency. One hun
dred million dollars is being spent, it is
said, each day by the Allies, 81 ,000,-
100000 every ten days, and it is esti-
mated that 10000 men are being killed
each day on the Allies side. In this
tremendous crisis speedy delivery con-
stitutes the most imperatively essen
tial element. Every ten days occurs
this enormous expenditure of men and
which no saving on prices will
ever balance on the other side Of the
ledger.
"If / had my way, | would urge an
amendment to this bill that purchases
should be handled by a committee of
three, whose duty it will be to deter
mine prices and decide upon priority as

ing agents now employed by the gov

Senator McCumber predicted war
of at least four years and an expendi-
ture Of SAC, 900, 900, 900. He said the bill
was just the beginning of the taxes
which must be levied, but declared that
the future generations should pay the
greater part of the cost as the present
one will furnish the men and supply
them with the materials which will be
necessary to crush the German autoc-
racy.
During the debate Senator Reed
made another attack upon Herbert
c. Hoover, asserting that the food ad-
statement Of his plan to
control wheat -four and bread was the
decree of a dictator.

the Hindenburg line there were mo-
ments when great stiffness reigned
over the battle front and it seemed
impossible that within. short time

The dismay of the Germans was

then half a dozen, then scores, but
their fire was weak. They were not
prepared for such an eventuality or
they would have shown it in their
artillery work.
The British big guns soon began to
break the silence on their side, not in
the form of a barrage fire, but in
counter-battery work. Meanwhile the
tanks rolled on over what was vir-
tually virgin battlefield. ?

, London, Nov. 2l.-The Anglo

in Downing street is featured by the

mented upon as an event of the high
est Importance.
While Premier Lloyd Georges
statement on the needs of the allies
receives attention, the point also is
made that it is necessary for the al
lies to remember that the United
States is not in the war solely or
mainly for their benefit. Thus, the
Post says:
Americans Are Business Men.
Americans know as we'll as we
that they are in the war to protect
themselves from a danger which Sc
riously menaced them. They are
business men over here strictly on
business"
THE United States did not join
the belligerents to save France or
help Great Britain" says the Daily
Express. "She is fighting the Ger
many of Kaiser William for exactly
the same reason that she fought the
England of Lord North. Her indi-
vidual and national freedom is at.
Stake"
Bulwark OF Confidence.
The Daily News, on the other
hand, dwells on the advent of the
United States as a "bulwark of con-
fdence" for the allies and says it has
changed the character of the war and
placed the issue beyond doubt. Fol-
lowing out this review, it says that
IF in the closing phases of the war
she is the commanding figure, we
shall have no envy and no regrets"
Amsterdam, Nov. 2l.-Commenting
on President Wilson's dispatch to
Colonel House regarding unity of

organ, Vorwaerts, of Berlin, says it
is odd that America. which suppos-
edly is crusading against autocfacy,
should put the thumb-screw on the

GERMAN LINE IS
BROKEN At MANY
POINTS BY TANKS
Infantry Surges Behind Them
and Surprises Enemy in
His Dugouts, Smashing
Counter Attacks.
(By Associated Press.)

British Army Headquarters in
France, Nov. 20.--The redoubtablc
Hindenburg line in the Cambria sector
was broken in many places today by
the great force of the British tanks,
and this afternoon the infantry which
followed through the gaps are still
battling their way forward.
The surprise attack was launched at
dawn over wide front. In the first
few hours its progress was marked
with evident success and up to the lat
est reports received at this time
a p. M had been moving along regu-
larly, ,according to schedule.
The resistance offered by the dazed
Germans this morning was negligible
and by noon British pioneers already
were at work laying roads across the
old front line trenches, while prison.
ers in considerable numbers had be-
gun to come back from various direc-
tions.
No Artillery Preparation.
The casualties of the attacking
forces thus far have been light. Great
numbers of German dead lie before
the main Hindenburg trench, where
the bewildered enemy, taken unawares,
made half-hearted attempt to stem
the onrushing Britons.
- The battle was an innovation for
the western front. for it was begun
without any preliminary artillery
work. Upon the army tanks rested
the responsibility for victory or de-
feat and they fulfilled all expectations.
The iron giants went through the
tremendous line of barbed wire entan-
clements in front of the main Hin
denburg positions and on over the
trenches az though they were on
parade.
The tanks started forward at 6:20
o'clock and by ll:40 the British in
