London, Oct. 1.-British naval

nent. A Gotha also was brought
down and is believed to have
been damaged. All the British
machines are safe.
London, Oct. 1.-The air raid Sum
day night. the fifth within seven
days, as far as available details
show, accomplished nothing import
ant for the enemy. The claim that
the new "air barrage" acts as a pow
erful deterrent to the raiders seems
to have been justified further.
An immense number Of guns were
in action and they, not the invaders,
put up the show. There was a far
search Of the skies in all
the flashes Of bursting
showing brightly in the
heavens Notwithstanding the bril-
lance of a full moon.
Even more impressive was the ter
rife din Of the guns. The enormous
and prolonged volume of gunfire cer-
tnAhiy was AAoAAAAAHE 10 GlNAAlaH
not accustomed to It. So
great was the amount Of defensive
she'll fire that an estimate of thous-
and shells discharged for every bomb
dropped does not seem extravagant.
Almost nothing is yet known con-
damage and casualties caus-
ed by the raiders.
One invader was driven from Lon
1on by the guns OF the fleet. Another
was seen over the Thames estuary.
It was hemmed in by shell fire and
wriggled for half an hour before IL
anally escaped seaward.
"A half dozen bombs were dropped
In a suburban district without caus-
Ing casualties or important damage.
One Of the bombs narrowly missed a
hospital.
The newspapers. while commenting
On the vigor of the defenses, still call
Tor other measures and advocate re-
prisals on German towns. The
Times advocates a great air fleet
capable Of carrying the war into
Germany.

Of The War
NEARLY HALF FROM
EXCESS WAR PROFITS
Postal Cards At Two Cents
Income Taxes Great
ly Increased
tBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. The $2,700,-
100000 war tax bill, which is up for
final action today in the house,
catches" almost everybody from the
cradle to the grave and. for good
measure levies a few new taxes on
the heirs.

will. under the two per cent manu-
facturers' tax on cosmetics, help

tance tax at an advance on the pres
ent rate Of from l per cent on $50, 900
to 10 per cent on S1,000,000. Between
birth and death most of mans activi-
ties would be taxed, voting a proxy
at a meeting Of cemetery associa-
tion being one of the few specifically
exempted.
Those who have profited by the
war, the recipients of enormous ex-
cess war profits, viii pay the most
to help carry 1t on. Nearly half the
total amount of the bill. or about
$1,110,000,000, is to be collected from
them.

over five cents, one-tenth of the cost
of the ticket. That rate will affect
all who attend amusements, from the
man in the gallery to the one in the
box. "A host OF stamp taxes design
ed to raise 10000, 900 also will get
the man with little money in many
ways. His greatest consolation is
that the consumption taxes, which
would have made him pay for coffee,
tea and sugar were stricken from
the bill.
The man of moderate means as
well as the wealthy is affected by
the income tax section. Normal
rates have been doubled and exemp-
tions lowered to $1,000 for single
persons and $4,000 for married. ones.
Surtaxes for incomes above $4,000
range from one to fifty per cent, the
maximum applying to incomes over
