LUNDEEN AND DILLON
UNDER BRITISH BAN
Congress Representatives Are
Accused of Anti-Wor Talk.
By 'ss Associated Press.

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN
FRANCE. Aug. s7.-The British authors
ties II has been learned. recently refused
to give permission for Representative
Ernes; Lundeen tM:nnl and Represen-
tative Charles II. Dillon IS. D. to visit
the British battle front. The two Repre-
sentatives arrived in France late in July
on board British vessel and later VS.
tied the American front.
The request that the Representatives
be permitted to pay a visit to the British
lines is said TO have been made in the
usual manner by the American army au-
thorities. When the declinatlo1 OF the
British was received an investigation
was begun. This IL Is asserted, resulted
in the explanation that both men had
talked freely aboard ship in such Snan-
ner about certain subjects affecting the
war that both British and American
military and civilian passengers called
the subject Of their conversations TO the
attention OF the officer commanding the
troops aboard the vessel and also tho

NORMAL INCOME TAX
PLAN ISFORECAST
Flat Rate of 12 Per Cent, or q
Differential. With Abate-.
ment Probable.
sp<eiai Dsseatc9 10 Tar sr<.

wAsHiSerox. Aug. 81. - Material
change in the normal tax on individual
incomes was forecast to-day by mem
bers OF the Ways and Means Committee
as a result of the conference this morn
ing between Chairman Ki;chin IN. CO
and Secretary McAdoo.
Instead OF the 10 per cent. tax On
earned incomes with tax OF Is per
cent. on unearned incomes. IL Is prob
able that the committee finally will de-
,erm:ne on either IA; rate OF - per
cent on incomes OF all sorts or. II
dfrereniial between earned and un-
earned incomes is inserted. it will be
in the form OF an statement.
The most favored suggestion along
this lire is 20 make the normal tax /,
per cent. on all incomes, with an abate-
ment Of per cent. on earned incomes
below $4,000 or $4,000 a year. This
would have the effect Of imposing 10
per cent. tax on such incomes.
Mr. K'tchin said after the meeting OK
the committee to-day that he had re-
celved no letter from the President; in
respect 70 the revenue bill or anything
else. Regarding the prospective change
In the income normal tax. he said:
"If any change is made in the bill as
il now is drawn. IL will he solely be-
cause of the difficulties Of administering
law with the d!ffereniial between
earned and unearncd incomes in II. "
IL is found tina; il can he administered
properly. the abatement 10 make the tax
10 per cent c; incomes below 100000
or SIS. 900 may be adopted"
Changing the normal income tax rate
will not AFFECT the incomes below $4,000.
The frame OF mind Of the committee at
present is to leave undistCrbed the pro-
vision Of the new bill abating the nor
NAL tax TO : per cent. on incomes not
In excess OF that figure. and on portions
OF incomes below $4,000.
The committee has not yet settled on
its final action in relation IL the excess
profits rates. I; is still standing for
higher rate than the Treasury Depart
ment wants, and the expected COM
promise has not ye; been determined
upon.

Germany is not beaten. but admits that
recent military and political events have
shown Germany the only way 10 peace.
He writes;
I'VE often do the-righ; thing In Ger
many. but generally too late. We can
consider the speeches OF Solf. Colonial
Secretary. and Prince Max Of Baden to
be an official admission that the pawn
theory about Belgium has been Officially
abandoned. and that the ma joriiy OF in
telligent Germans are now determined
20 fight out the war with a clean con-

adds: NO reasonable Englishman can
expect Germany to admit defea; before
