Archie Roosevelt Is
Back in U.S., Wounded
Colonel's Son, With Croix de
Guerre, Reaches Newport
News From France

OYSTER BAY, L. l., Sept. 2.-Cap-
tain Archie Roosevelt has returned to
America. He arrived on board a hos
pital ship at Newport News today, and
Immediately telephoned to his wife,
who is at Sycamore Hill with the five
months-ol son whom he has never
seen.
1t is understood that Captain Roose-
velt is still suffering from the wounds
which he received on the Toul front,
March II. He underwent two opera
tions while in hospital in France, but
his left arm is still paralyed and he
was sent back to America for treat
ment. He told Mrs. Roosevelt he eX-
pected to be in New York within a
week or ten days.
Colonel Roosevelt said that while he
was glad to hear that Archie was on
this side of the Atlantic. he knew that
his son MAS grevcd for it had been his
fear ever since he was wounded that
he would be sent back to the United
States and thus miss part of the fight
ing.
Captain Roosevelt was wounded in
the knee and the left arm. This latter
injury has caused all the trouble, for
several nerves were severed. Two days
after he was put out of action, he re-
ceived the Croix de Guerre.
On the same ship with CAPTAIN
Roosevelt were eighteen other officers
and 800 men who also have been in
yalided home

Ways and Means Commit
tee Makes One Change
in Final Meeting
ALI 1O-Cent Sodas and
Sundaes Taxed Cents
Measure Will Be Taken Up
Friday by Both Branches
of Congress
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)


WASHINGTON, gept. 2-The Ways
and Means Committee held it's last
meeting this afternoon prior to the
reporting tomorrow of the S8,00O,OOO
600 revenue bill, which will conscript
a share-and a large one-of the
wealth of the country wherever found.
According to Chairman Kitchin, the
committee, after going over the proof
sheets of the bill, made only one
change of consequence, and that had
been practically agreed on before, viz
the exclusion from the 18 per cent
penalty tax of undistributed profits
and surplus. in so far as they are
applied in liquidating bonded or in
terest bearing debt. Moneys so ap-
piled will be regarded as on the same
basis with profits distributed as divi-
dends and will pay the regular normal
12 per cent tax.
The income portions of the bill ap-
ply, of course, to the calendar year.
Some parts become effective immedi-
ately on passage, some November and
others January l. Loss of revenue in
some instances, as, for example, in
the case of alcoholic spirits, is guarded
against by the imposition of floor taxes
on goods wherever found for sale equal
to the difference between the new rates
and the old. This section of the bill
oAo
tion of the bill that will most interest
persons of small incomes who have
hitherto practically escaped direct tax
alton will be the consumption taxes on
considerable list of articles of lux
ury.
Every soda or sundae or dish Of ice
cream served at soda water fountain
or ice cream parlor will hereafter cost
an additional two cents for every ten
cents Of purchase, and none will escape
.one-cent tax. Even chewing gum will
cost more, though in this case the 10
per cent tax is imposed on the manu-
facturer, who will pass it along to the
retailer, who, in turn, will see that the
consumer gets it. But the law provides
that devotees of all soft drinks mixed
on the PREMISES must pay the tax to
the dealer, who acts as tax collector
The bill will be taken up Friday,
and Mr.. Kitchin expects that the House
will dispose of it in ten days. The
committee members will not sign the
report individually, but It contains a
statement that it is unanimously
agreed upon. Several members Of the
committee have, however, reserved the
right to oppose particular features in
the House.
The Senate hearings on the bill will
begin Friday, by which time Chairman
Simmons thinks the public will have
had time to examine it.

Germans to Yield Further,
Advance by Canadians
Seems to Indicate
By Arthur S. Draper
Special Cable to The Tribu,ec)

Especial Cable to The Tribunc)
Copyright. 1915 by The Tribune Association
The New York Tribune.)
LONDON, Sept. 2-The Allies have
now won back more than half of all
the territory captured by the enemy
this year. The sudden smash of the
Canadians through the all important
Queant- Drocourt switch line carries it's
hint that the Germans are to yield
much more ground which they have
held since 1914
Hindenburg desperately needs re-
serves along the Wotan line, and is
trying to get these by Strengthening his
line wherever possible. He hopes also
to prevent a lcngthenng of the front
Of the Allied attack to the northward
IN Flanders by placing unorganized
ground between himself and the Allied
lines.
Foch continues his policy of attack
ing wherever and whenever the enemy
least expects, and Ludendorff now
knows that his plan to avoid battle
this fall by retiring has failed. At the
present rate of progress the Allies are
likely to reach the Hindenburg line
along the whole front before winter
puts an end to campaigning
Meanwhile, the British in the north
are pushing toward Douai and Cam
brai and the French toward Laon. 1t
looks as though it would be almost I'M
possible for Ludendorff to spend the
winter in these famous prepared posi-
tions.
Foch still is withholding the bulk of
the American forces, though number
of these have been engaged in hard
fighting north of scissors. Beyond
Noyon and Sossons Foch is driving
wedge between two wings of the Ger
man army. The further back they are
driven the more difficult it will be-
come for troops of the Crown Prince
to come to the assistance of the armies
of Grown Prince Rupprecht and Won
Boehn, if that is necessary
Two wings of the German army
whose communications lie in different
directions can cooperate on the Hin
denburg line, but once the Germans
are compelled to retire further Foch
will have manGuvred them into a
perilous strategic position, enabling
him to concentrate on one wing and
defeat the enemy in detail.
Anticipating this plan, Ludendorff
now is fighting with desperation at all
parts of the line, notably between the
Bapaumc Cambria road and Arleux,
souptheast OF Lens, and in the region
Of the Disc, Ailette and Chemin des
DANES.
Franco American troops now are ad-
vancins in the Chemin des DANES sec
tor, on the heights along the railway
from Scissors to Anzy- le- Chateau.
