with scattered bands still hiding in
the hilly reaches of Seminole and

that they had the situation in hand,
and with the arrest OF more than 200
members of the bands. recruited almost
completely from the white tenant farm

lock, an objector, was shot to death
near Holdenville, and two members of
the posse which his band encountered
were wounded Later J. F. Moose of
Okemah was shot and killed as he
drove a motor car toward Holdenville.

Paige had not been captured, and 1t
was expected that the posse which went
to his aid would capture the band
Among the resisters captured are said
to be several of the leaders, while at
least three of the men held responsible
for spreading the propaganda with the
mythical promises that resulted in the
uprising are believed still to be at
large. 1t was indicated that their names
are known and officials expressed the
belief that with their capture the out
break will be put down completely
Three men have been killed in the
fours days of guerrilla warfare in which
hundreds of heavily armed men have
stalked one another through the rough
and timbered country. Wallace Cargill

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FLANDERS. August l delayed
Once more the French and British have
taken the Germans by the throat in
determined offensive. The Somme shook
Germans military power to its founda-
tions. To avoid such another and per-
haps fatal convulsion Hindenburg re-
treated. The allies promptly responded
by their April thrusts on the Aisne and
in the north of France-a series OF
terrible thrusts into which little by
little the best troops of Germany were
thrown, only to be withdrawn within a
few days, torn and exhausted. one
third of the kaiser's divisions We're
bled thus and were relieved from these
hard battles.
Yet that was only the beginning. The
anxiety the present offensive is .caus-
ing the enemy is only eaualed by the
firm, confidence it has already inspired
in our allies.

Chamber of Commerce and

Committees.
QUOTA IN PLACE OF HONOR

Two Washington organizations. the
Board of Trade and the Chamber of
Commerce, today appointed committees
to arrange for patriotic demonstra-
tion in honor of the capitals drafted
men who will fight in the new Ma
tional Army.
A parade probably will be the princi-
pal feature of the demonstration, and
this procession probably will be fol-
lowed by an assembling of the men to
listen to patriotic addresses by ma
tional and city officials.
This tribute is planned as a stimula-
tion to the patriotism of the city. and
as an honor to its men who will go
first to fight under the Stars and Stripes
for Uncles Sam In the marching line
will be the 1,022 members of the Dis
trict quota who are called to the
colors.
Officials of the District, including
Commissioners Brownlow and Knight,
have given their approval 10 the plan,
as have officials of the War Depart
ment- Secretary of War Newton D.

dorse the proposal, but would review

Incomes and War Profits.

:. "As the result of these changes it is
estimated that about two-thirds of the
additional revenue expected will come
from the income and war profits taxes.
In fixing the rates upon incomes and
excess profits your committee kept con-
stantly In mind the fact that the
amount or revenue derived from these
sources would depend upon the pros
perity and activity of business, and that
to impose taxes which would tend 70
discourage enterprise and dampen these
activities would tend to defeat the leg
