 Tomorrow Senator Simmons will call up the report in the senate, and he expects it to be adopted not later thSl Wednesday,.
 Virtually no opposition to the re- port appeared in the house today dur ing the four hours it was under dis cussion.
 Treasury experts estimate the amount the bil, will raise at S2,535.- 000,000 during the coming year and possibly $2,588, ,0OO, 900 a year when in full operation.
 Official estimates as prepared by treasury experts differ materially from unofficial estimates previously pub iished only in a few in-tances.

The almost complete silence that has surrounded the operations of the British armies in France and Belgium continues. Aside from the announce ments in the official reports and these are meagre to a degree-nothing g las been permitted to pass through the censorship which would indicate what Field Marshal Haig has in inn mediate view.
 Along the coast in Belgium and around Ypres extremely heavy recipro- cal bombardments are taking place. Nothing is contained in either the British or German communications to show that the troops of either side have left their trenches-ever for forays.
 Along both sides of the Mouse riv- CT in the Verdun sector the French and the lfermans are engaged in another terrific duel. Twice the Germans launched infantry attacks in an effort to capture positions, but on both oc- casions they were stopped short by the French fire.
 While in England the demands of the people for reprisals against the Germans for air attacks on open towns continue to grow in volume, the French flfers have rcvenged them selves for a raid on Bar-le- Due by heavily bombing the German town of Stuttgart from the air.

Senator Lewis is to Propose the Pass age of Bill Giving Full Authority.

Washington. Oct. 1-After a call at the White House today eSpatcr Lewis said he would propose passage of a bill giving the president full power to do anything during the forthcoming recess of congress that may be called for by any sudden emergency.
 '1 told the president" said the sen ator. that we could get the war reve- nue bill passed finally this week. pass the soldiers insurance bill next week and adjourn by the end of the follow ing week. The president is anxious that the insurance bill pass. that the families of the soldiers can have se- curity and the soldiers have peace of mind
 'I think it would be wisdom for congress to pass a law giving the pres ident full power to do anything in the recess of congress that may be called for by any sudden emergency, wheth- CT from international complications or home price fixing of commodities for war necessity. This would prevent calling congress before the regular December meeting and also give inn mediate leCaIitv to any action, how ever unexpected"

BAKER TO VISIT ALL
 CAMPS AND CANTONMENTS
There Will be Five Springfield Rifles
 for Each Man Going to France.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Although Sec retary Baker has not decided upon a definite schedule for his visit to ma tional guard camps and national army cantonments, he expects to go to Pet ersburg, Va, and Charlotte, N. C., at an early date. He already has visited the guard camp at Mineola, reviewing the rainbow division" and the na- tional army cantonment at Annapolis Junction, Md.
 Mir. Baker reiterated today that there is no serious shortage of rifles for any of the troops. For the eX- peditionary forces in France five Springfield rifles per man have been provided and the ammunition store be- ing assembled is so great that the secretary believes there is no ground for fear that interruption of the trans port lines for a time would create em- barrassment.
 With the output of re-chambered Enfield rifles increasing daily MT. Ba- ker said the time is not far distant when all troops under training in this country will be equipped with modern rifles. Each national army canton ment has been provided with five thousand Krag-Jorgensen rifles from the military reserve stock and while hroomstick drilling may continue for time, all men will be given rifle training by passing around these ri- f1eS.

 When the town reports were dis tributed it was noticed that the col lector's accounts were not included. This was because the auditors could not make Powers books balance.
