Italy's Blow Hardest
Austria Has Received
Took 500 Prisoners.

Rome, Aug. 20.-Italy's S drive carried
General Cadorna's troops across the
Isonzo river today north of Anhovo
and into Austrian front line trenches
from PLAYA clear to the sea.
The official report announcing the
victory declared 500 prisoners had been
captured.
The Italian storming forces now hold
the Austrian front line from PLAYA to
the sea according to the war office.
The enemy Is losses were described as
"most serious" A great quantity of
booty was taken in the Italian S for
ward sweep.
PLAYA is approximately thirteen miles
from the seacoast. It is due west of
Kuk, where IN the spring, the italian
troops succeeded in their drive in sweep
ing the Austrians back beyond the
Isonzo. Onhovo is still further to the
north, near Tolmein.

WHY NOT sELEcrIyE SERVICE FOR ALL IN

a MIIItfCA is a land OF universal service now
N The nation stands mustered into service. Each
OF tho states, including Delaware stands for selec-
tive service
The seectiye service plan is plan under which
those needed in the army be selected
Il is n law under which tho government is en-
powered to pick out certain men fitted for certain
duty
So far. this law provides only FOR selecting for
military service.
But military needs not all the nations needs.
other needs equally pressing.
We read Of a startling shortage OF to build
ships We read OF a shortage OF men TO till land.
why should not the selective service idea be made
universal? Why should not be 100 per cent. CT
fective and 100 per cent. efficient?
Every American is at the nations service
Why select men TO build ships just as select
them for the army?
Why not the same effective selection for agrcul-
ture?
Why not.a nation IN service?
By its own free will the great population Of Amer
lea is united in determination to the nation so
as to win the war most quickly and decisiyely

The British attack before Arras
opened on Easter Monday, April 9.
Accordingly yesterday marked the
beginning Of the second month OF
the British offensive. AS the French
attack along the Aisne began one
week later, that is now three weeks
Old We have, then, a calendar
measurement by which 10 estimate
tne progress Of the fighting.
In the first month OF the Battle OF
Arras the British have taken rather
more than twenty thousand prisoners.
Ihey have advanced an average OF
TOUR miles on front Of about fifteen
miles, and at some points are FIVE
miles ahead OF their starting point
Ihey have captured two hundred and
nity German cannon, including 7-inch
nowltzers, a considerable number Of
o.9 German guns, and a very great
NUMBER Of field pieces. They have in
addltlon captured a great deal of ma
terlal, including machine guns and
other paraphernalia. In the same time
the French have taken rather more
than twenty-nine thousand prisoners
and more than one hundred and fifty
cannon, including some heavy guns.
They have advanced at points three
or four miles, although they have not
captured as large an area as the
British have.
We may say in sum, then, that the
British and the French in one month
have captured more than fifty thou
sand prisoners, nearly five hundred
cannon and almost a hundred square
miles Of territory. This is the largest
achievement in any month since
trench warfare began. 1t includes the
largest advance since the Battle OF
the Marne, and can only be compared
with the German success in the early
phase Of the Verdun operation in the
matter OF ground gained, which ii
surpasses.
In this time the losses OF the Ger
mans have not been less than three
hundred thousand, and the Allies to-
gether have probably lost not less
than two hundred and fifty thousand
the difference being represented by
the prisoners. While the losses on the
Allied side have been fairly equally
divided between the French and tho
British. the losses on the German side
have been borne by the Germans

A Monsfrous Revenue Bill in the House
of Representative
CFrom the New York SUM.

The war revenue bill reported TO
the House o. Representatives by the
Ways and Means Committee yester-
day is an economic monstrosity.
No American objects 10 taxation.
Every American expects TO pay taxes
to bleed money for the eypenses OF
the war, for It's enormous direct costs.
for its staggering indirect expenses.
No man, no corporation hopes or
wishes TO avoid a share OF the tre-
mendous burden. No complaint that
taxes would be heavy has been raised
But no taxpayer present or prospec-
tive can reac this bill and not recog-
nize that while demoraiizing and even
running business and industry II will
fail to produce the needed revenues,
and that ity provisions are futile, the
outcome OF dull ineficiency, or the
children OF malice.
II there is p single correct principle
OF taxation this bill does not violate,
the omission must be credited to
oversight on the part OF its authors
and not TO their knowledge or good
will.
II is apparently the purpose OF the
committee TO ask for favorable ac-
ton by the House en- this product OF
stupidity and ignorance in the expec-
tation that The Senate will repair It's
errors and whip the measure into a
shape in which the submission OF in
telligent citizens TO its terms may
be asked with some chance OF sue
cess
In other words. the only plausible
explanation OF the committees con-
duct is that the Representatives are
to be asked once more TO abandon
their function as the originators OF
measures for the raising OF revenue
and 10 shift the burden Of inquiry
discrimination and adjustment to the
Senate. This the members OF the
House have occasionally done in the
past. tacitly admitting thereby that
they felt themselves incapable OF
performing their constitutional duty
but never las any popular assembly
in the presence OF situation such
as the United States is in today braz-
enly given It's Endorsement 10 a pro-
iect so inadequate to the requirements
Of the nation for which IL spoke, so
subversive OF economic laws and so
defiant OF me necessities that must
be met as is the draft OF a revenue
bill offered by Claude Kitchn, OF
North Carolina
The manner in which this prepos-
ferrous proposal reached its present
form is revealed by the single in
stance OF haphazard drafting. The
committee ecommends that on all
articles now imported free OF duty
from foreign countries a duty OF 10
per cent ad valorem shall hereafter
be collected. and that there shall be
q horizontal increase OF 10 per cent
in all customs duties imposed by the
Underwood tariff law. These provi-
sions were Unexpectedly agreed to
according TO the dispatches from
Washington And they were most un-
intelligcntly agreed to, it must be
added.

cannot be supported by prOtectionist

all the teachings OF economies, and
reveals its supporters as utterly lack
ing in philosophic conception OF the
objects and methods Of taxation.
This system Of duties must OF ne
cossity impose on one industry bur
den disproportionate to that imposed
on others. In one case It would give
an unjust advantage to the merchant
over the manufacturer, in another It
will reverse the improper benefit In
some instances It would impose a
prohibitory tax, because OF which the
/ Treasury will be deprived OF rev.
enues it now receives. In other cases
the tax would be absurdly low and
the yield therefrom would fall far
below the amount that should be ex-
acted
The general effect Of such tarin
impOsts must be disturbance OF busi-
ness, revenues far under What they
should be, and the complete dlsrup-
tion Of trade in many important COM
modities from which by sagaclous
taxation tho Government might col
lect substantial sums.
This astonishing paragraph seems
10 have been a happy afterthought OF
the committee. Certainly no sane
member Of that body can have given
to this scheme for the reconstruction
OF the tariff the thoughtful study
that even a slight modification OF
one schedule requires.
The internal taxes and taxes on
domestic activities were obviously
written down in the same reckless
manner. They show either shock
ing inability to perceive the results
their enactment would bring about. or
a willingness to reduce the House Of
Representatives TO nullity in the sup
port of the war
The scheme for readiustment OF
post Office charges discloses the abb
sence Of a definite and governing idea
from the mind Of the committee. On
first class matter a uniform increase
is decreed: but second class matter
is TO be subjected to the zone system
in defiance OF needs Of the people,
the good of the people, the necessi-
ties OF the publishers and the plain
dictates OF common sense. Additional
revenues can be obtained from the
postal service without imposing un-
bearable hardships on its patrons
but they will not be got by the I'M
systematic processes of arbitrary inn
posts the Ways and Means Commit
tee has devised.
So numerous are the faults and de-
ficiencies of the Ways and Means
Committee lill that under ordinary
circumstances its passage by the
House would be inconceivable. But
the report bears the signatures OF al
the members of the committee. anC
all OF them are pledged to vote fol
it although all of them oppose some
of its absurdites. And the House is
expected to pass this measure in ar
outburst OF pon-partisan evasion with
out serious debate, and to leave t'
the Senate the erection of an intelli
gible statute on the framework Of it'
I enacting clause.

alone. We have therefore on the sioe
OF attrition a loss Of three hundred
thousand for the Germans and some
thing less than one hundred and htty
thousand apiece for Britain anu
France.
Before the Battle OF Arras began
the British commander-in-chief' Slr
Douglas Haig. told the military edl-
tor Of The Tribune that there were
one hundred and thirty-three and
half German divisions on the West
ern front Since the battle began the
French official statement has hxed
, the number OF divisions at one nun
dred and forty-three, Of which nine
ty-nine were on the front and forty
four in reserve. Not less than half or
this reserve has therefore been actu-
ally consumed by casualties, and
since no German unit is kept on the
front to the point OF determination
| il seems reasonably sure that almost
all Of the strategic reserves OF Hin
denburg. which he had evidently ac-
cumulated for the purpose OF an Of
! fensive Of his own, have had 10 be
thrown into the Arras and the Aisne
/ furnaces.
We may say, then, that an actual
strategic victory has been won by the
Allies up TO the present moment. The
German strategy, so far as we can
vet penetrate it, consisted OF a re-
! treat on the centre between Arras and
/ scissors. TO be followed by an offen-
sive elsewhere along the front. BY
attacking on the Arras-Lens and Sois-
sons-Rheims fronts the British and
the French have compelled the Ger
mans to abandon the project OF an
offensive elsewhere and to throw
their strategic reserve against the
British and French forces which
: threatened the German line.
So far as it is now possible to
Judge. then, the Germans have lost
the initiative which they sought to
regain by their retreat in March.
They have lost a greater number of
prisoners than in any month OF the
war. They have lost a greater
amount Of artillery than ever before
in a single month IN the history OF
the Prussian monarchy Their tao
tical defeat at Arras was greater than
at any point in the Marne fight. the
losses comparable only with those
at Verdun.

LET'S DEFEAT THE SUBMARINES FIRST AND
BOAST ABOUT 1T LATER.

THE sensational announcement by the head OF the
naval consulting board that invention has been
perfected that will end the submarine menace and that
within few months the submarines will be driven
from the oceans. is interesting but not convincing.
Just why it should be announced to the world in
cludng Germany that the submarines are doomed to
destruction. within a few months, is something we
cannot figure out We doubt whether anybody else
can figure it out. including the who made the
announcement
II is significant that this statement was not made
ly the Secretary OF the Navy, but by tho head Of a
semi-o6ical board.
The effect on the country Of such premature cock
sure statement cannot but be bad.
II will ho time enough to boast Of what we are
going to do to tho German submarines when VIC have
started TO do it..
