Press interview by Gen. Marcl
August 3, 1918:
When spoke to you last OF
Wednesday, the two opposing
lines had been nearly stationary
and engaged in more or less de
sperate fighting during July 81
and 81. Since that time blows
on both fanks were resisted BY
the Germans until, on August !,
heavy attacks by the British anC
French on the Chadun Plateau,
south of Scissors and further
southeast around Deugneux, bent
back the enemy's line at this
point for a distance something
like two miles. The result OF
these blows on the flanks forced
a retirement along the entire
German front on August 2.
On the west flank the enemy
had to retire across tho Crist
River, and the French walked In
to Scissors. In the center dur.
ing the day of August II, the re.
tirement covered an average dis.
tance of from three to four miles
on a front of 80 miles.
On the east fianl; on the height
west of Rheims, our advance was
finally on a A mile front for q
distance of about l mile.
Our line last evening ran near.

ly parallel to the valley of tht
combined Vesle and Ardre Rivers
and the distance from where We
are to their position, which is Z
more or less natural defensive
position, is only a little more
than 6 miles.
The perimeter of this gradual
ly diminishing salient has now
come down to AZ miles OH Aug
ust 2, from "a miles at the start.
The depth of the enemy's retire
ment is now 16 miles.
During this advance, begin
ming with the counter-offensive,
we have had eight United States
divisions now engaged, LIST, I'd,
! Sd, 5th, 26th, 28th, 32d and AID.
We have located definitely the
troops which were engaged a.
gainst the Fourth Prussian
Guards. They were the AID Div
iosion the Rainbow Division.
The objective Of our forces is
still the enemy's army, and the
success of the advance is indi-
Gated by the confidential cable
gram, which | am going to read
to you.
An officer of Gen. Muir S
(Twenty-eighth) Division just
returned from Fere-en-Tardenois
reports that it does not seem pos
sible for an army to have gather
ed as many guns, as much am
munition as the Germans had "a
bandoned in their retreat, which
had been SO hasty that they had
not time to bury their dead. The
ground was so covered with
corpses that it was impossible to
advance without walking over
them, and further, that the ad-
vance of the Twenty-eighth Div
iosion had been extremely rapid
in spite of the fact that their
position was some distance from
the nearest railroad.
In connection with the Ameri-
can forces abroad there has been
some discussion about the pro-
portion of the forces which is
brigaded with the British, and |
will say that Gen. Pershing has
in his own area as his own force,
not brigaded with the British,
over 100000.
The number of men embarked
during the month of July, just

and Future.
rich PAY FAIR SHARE.
Old System Under Which Poorer Classes Bore
The Burden, Remedied by Democratic
Administration.
Special to The Sentinel:
(By Rep. Cordell Hull)

(By Rep. Cordell Hull)
The passage of the Federal re-
serve act and the Federal income
tax Of 1913 constituted by far
the two most notable steps in fis-
cal reform ever taken by the
United States government in its
entire history. The enactment
of both of these laws of such
far-reaching and tremendous i'm
portance marked the elimination
of protracted efforts extending
over many years to substitute
modernized and efficient fiscal
legislation in each instance for
the veritable patch work systems
of finance and revenue so long in
operation. The growing public
appreciation of these two great
acts will, as their wise and bene-
ficient effects are more fully
experienced and realized, become
greater and greater with the
passing years.
The general government, until
recently, have never devised or
adopted any comprehensive, SCI
entiic system of taxation, main
ly because its revenue demands
were not great enough to strong
ly focus public attention on the
defects and shortcomings of the
partial and loopsided system re-
lied on. For some years, at
least, following the war, the
government will doubtless find
itself obliged to impose taxes for
normal purposes to an amonnt OF
IA, 600, 600, 900, or the rise.
The necessity for a broad,
sound, and equitable system of
Federal taxation now becomes
inevitable. Under former tax
laws wealth escaped the chief
portion of its just and fair share.
The middle and poorer classes
bore the burden. The income
tax had its origin in the twofold
purpose of equalizing tax burden
and providing adequate revenue.
This tax is today playing a trem-
endous part in the financing of
the war.
Few people yet realize the
frightful position in which the
government would have found
itself in its efforts to provide
war revenue except for the fact
that the income tax movement,
during previous years, had result
ed in the amendment of the con.
stitution and the enactment of
an income tax law which had
been gotten well into operation
when the war came on and still
less do they yet realize the great
service thus rendered the coun-
try in this wise, though in a
measure unconcious. preparation
flor the war that was soon to fol-
low. Wealth for the first time,
bears its share of taxes.
Many persons have had the
erroneous impression chat tariff
taxes come from an inexhaush-
BILE source of revenue capable OF
meeting the most extraordinary
expenditures and to be tapped at
will by the Federal government.
The truth is that the maximum
yield of tariff taxes for any Civ
en- year heretofore was 1888, OOO
LOCO. As far back as 1909 the
farmers of the Payne tariff law
in search of revenue under nor
NAL conditions, were obliged t
