 WASHINGTON Sept 23..Congress begins tomorrow what members hope is their home stretch in a race toward adjournment Results of the week probably will determine whethers the special war session can end. as is the general aim and understanding. be- tween October } and 12. Both houses are having difficulty in keeping a quorum.
 Money bills are the center of inter est. During the last week congress sent the $1l.000 GOO 900 bond bill to the president. Tomorrow conferees hope to agree on the two and half billion dollar war tax bill, and the senate ap- propriations committee meets to ap- prove increasing the seven billion dol lar war deficiency appropriation meas ure between $500, 900 900 and S500,- 100000 Prompt enactment of the lat ter is expected, but disagreement on the tax bill, leaders agree would dis rupt all adjournment plans.
 Stirred into a storm of resentment over disclosures of German attempts to influence congress, members of both houses are considering whether an in vestigation shall be ordered. Leaders generally regard one as unnecessary. Spirited discussion is promised, how ever, in general debate with probably further disclosures of German activ- ities

COMPROMISE MAY
 BRING SOLUTION OF
 WAR TAX BILL FUSS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Sept. 23.-A Sunday ferees on the war tax bill resulted in the drafting of a compromise proposal on excess profits rates and exemptions which may lead to report within a few days. The proposal is understood to provide for important concessions by both sides.
 With the excess profits section dis posed of. completion of the report will be comparatively ismple matter. Con- ferees are generally agreed on the oth- CT sections and final votes will be taken rapidly once they start.
 Exemption of all contributions to charitable and educational institutions from the income tax was one of the most important steps taken today. This will affect almost every college and foundation in the country.
 It became known today that the sec- ond class mail rates agreement provides separate zones for advertising and reading matter at widely different rates, to go into effect from three months to two years after enactment of the bill into law. The rate on ad- vertising ultimately would range from [ between one and two cents a pound in the first zone to about ten cents in the last. The rate on reading matter would be slightly in excess of the pres ent one cent rate pound in the first zone of 250 miles, and the extreme zone rate would be less than six cents | County weeklies, farm and religious | and similar publications would be eX- ! empt from the advertising rate.

In none of the battle areas of Europe has there been any marked activity in the last twenty-four hours. A momentary lull appears to have set tied upon the fighting operations in Flanders. on the Aisne and at Verdun, and in the region along the Isonze.
 Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, finding his efforts to dislodge the Bri- tish from their recent gains in the Ypres salient intellectual has ceased his infantry attacks and resorted to artillery. The British are resting after their effort of Thursday, having eained all but few minor posts Of the objectives desired and having taken 324S prisoners, but their big guns still hammer the German positions and their aviators harass the hirdomes, dumps. cantonments and other mili- tary points behind the German lines. Northeast of GouzeaucOurt, between Arras and St. Quentin, the British car ried a successful raid into the German trenches.
 On the rest of the western front the French and Germans have been con- tent to Lombard each other. The ar tiuery activity is reported violent along the Aisne front and northwest of Verdun in the region of Hill 304.
 Berlin reports reconnoitering en- agreements on this portion of the front, but no action of moment.
 Having captured the Jacobstadt bridgehead south of Riga, and forced the Russians to retire to the right bank of the Dvina for some distance north and south of the bridgehead, the Germans have halted their advance here Petrograd reports the Russians cntrenched on the right bank of the Dvina and bombarding the Germans in their new positions. Toward Riga the Russians Saturday drove back German advance guards near Rudna.
 General Cardona in his report on operations in the region northeast of C-orizia, chronicles the repulse of ad- ditional Austro- Hungarian attacks on the Eainsizza plateau. In the region of Monte MarmoladO, northwest of Trent. the Italians, after exploding a mine, captured two advance positions from the AustrO -Hungarians.
 Argentina probably will not declare war on Germany at this time, although DO decision has yet been reached.

PETROGRAD. Sept. 25.-The korni- loff mystery. arising out of the recent revolt, has developed dimensions which threaten the existence of the caplnet, particularly the position of Premier Kerensky. The newspapers represent ing the Left and the Right parties de- mand an explanation from the gov ernment. while the Bolsheviki organs openly accuse the premier, in the words of the Nabotchi poot of being in a conspiracy with Korniloff, "to crush the Petrograd proletariat and the workmens and soldiers delegates with the help of cavalry corps sent against Petrograd.'
 The newspapers ask why, II the published documents are forged, no denial has been made.
 The Bolsehevik group in the bureau of the central workmen's and soldiers delegates has carried by an oVermheim- ing majority a resolution demanding an explanation.
 The controversy over the source Of the recent Korniloff rebellion mas proved to be the sensation or the day. Petrograd newspapers publish columns of revelations and interviews With the chief actors in the revolt, ana, While much is inexplicable, it is agreed that negotiations between Premier keren- sky and General Korniloff for the es- tablishment of a strong government al Petrograd preceded the rebellion. me march of General Korniloffs troops on the capital is said to have been part of scheme.

WASHINGTON Sept. 23.-Food Ad- ministrator Hoover appealed to the American people tonight to reduce their consumption of sweets to leave d share for their French allies, who are facing the prospect of two months en- tirely without sugar.
 We have received request from the French government" Mr. Hoover said, that we allow them to export from the United States 100000 tons of sugar during the next month and prob ably more at later period.
 Our own situation is that we have just sufficient sugar to maintain our normal consumption until the first of January. when the new West Indies crop becomes avalaiable.
 Sugar is human necessity If our people will reduce by one-third their purchases and consumption of candy and of sugar for other uses than pre- serving fruit, which we do not wish to interfere with, we can save the French situation.

LONDON, Sept. 24-The London morning papers are almost unanimous regarding the replies of the central empires to the pope as vague, hypo- critical and hopeless and all the more reason why the war should be pl Ose- cuted to certain victory.
 The Daily Mail declares the object of the new German maneuvers is clear, that the enemy fears Field Marshal Haig's victorious troops and the future appearance of a gl eat American army in France
 Above all," continues the paper, The fears that the allies, stirred to energy by President Wilson, will at last apply commercial and economical pressure. which. if properly utilized, might long since have brought the HohenZollern system down to ruin.
 With the HohenzolIerns and the gang of international criminals around them no honest abiding peace can be made
 The Express under the caption of
 Tine Mad Dog of Europe" declares Germany no longer hopes for vic tory and foresees after the war the creation of a league of nations from which she will be excluded, adding: "Germanys reply to the pope in effect is a bid for membership in the league of nations It must be useless to bid. Treaties guaranteed by q, Hohenzollern must remain scraps of paper until the end of time The Morning Post under the cap- l tion An Imperial Pecksniff, says: ''The German reply like the Aus l trian, is most carefully revised to Tn Aafir 1 kind"

 ! That the German and Austrian kaisers are bent on their own ruin must now be apparent to every one. 1 If any further proof is needed that 1 President Wilson was endowed with the dearest vision when he declared i it would be impossible to treat with
 either the Hohenzollerns or the Haps- | burgs, the two kaisers have proved it in their replies to the pope's pea oe note.
 Berlin and Vienna have expressed their desire for peace. but neither
 kaiser can yet pronounc the first word necessary to its attainment restoration !"
 In review of the war situation. the Observer says that premature
 peace talk, by it's tendency to divide public opinion, can only prolong the horrors and the misery of the struggle.
 Germany and her partners says the Observer. want the allies more and more to indulge, like Russia. in
 a demoralizing impotence of floods of talk of peace, instead of cOncentrat- ing on definite action that will finish the war. President Wilson has laid a heavy hand upon the soap box
