rear of the present line and is SAYING
what men he car, for that purpose.
It would not be surprising if the
enemy intended to put up a stiff de-
fense somewhere on a line running
generally north and south through
Peronne. There was hard fighting
today around Bapaume, IFavereull,
just north of Bapaume, has been
taken and the streets run red with
the blood of Germans. The enemy
was prepared to launch a couhtr-at-
tack here but. his troops were caught
under the fire of the British artil-
lery. The British then stormed into
the town and captured what remain
ed of the enemy's forces-11O men
and five officers. From Favreuil the
British pushed east and south, fur
ther encircling Bapaume. :,
There are unconfrmed rumros that
British patrolst have reconnoitered
into Bapaume and have gone some
distance without seeing any of the
enemy. British shells have been
raining down on Bapaume for many
hours.
The new section of the battle front
just south of the Scarpe offers great
possibilities. The attacking forces
here are driving eastward astride the
rras-Cambrai road and are now be-
yond Monchy-le-Preux and Wan
court. These points virtually are on
the Hindenburg line. The rain dur
ing the night did not interfere with
the British advance, for the opera
tions are on hard ground. Rain put
the Germans at disadvantage, par
ticularly in their shell holes with
machine guns, as many of the holes
were turned into puddles.
AS soon as the rain ceased scores
of British planes took the air and
continued their systematic attacks
upon the troops, Tanks again dis
tinguished themselves by overwhelm-
ing difficult points where the con-
centration of machine guns delayed
the advancing infantry.

never would have been inserted had
it not been for the result of the NO
vember election. Instead. he said.
Congress would have followed the
usual course in such matters.
Senator Borah declared that first
reports We're circulated over the
country indicating that the republi-
cans would fight this provision until
the end of the session, but later re-
publican leaders announced there
would be no fight. Denial that there
had been any mystery regarding the
matter was made by Senator Smith
of Georgia, also a member OF the
committee, who said it had been
talked and talked"
That's another example of secret
diplomacy" calculated Senator Borah.
Senator Borah interjected that the
bill was supposed to levy tax of 80
per cent on war profits, but he was
told by a senator that 1t was not
more than 4S per cent.
Says Election Did Not Affect.
Senator Smith of Georgia said he
began to agitate the plan for 1920
taxes as soon as the armlStice was
signed, adding:
IT don't know anything about it in
connection with the election. AS far
as the selection is concerned IL mad
absolutely nothing to do with it,"
Senator McCumber of North Da-
| kota. republican, asserted the plan
had never been suggested until after
November last.
Chairman Simmons defended the
committee, saying the Secretary or
the Treasury wrote him letter Whlch
he submitted to the committee advls-
| ing reduction. The date of the let
ter he did not remember, but 1t was
after the arrnistice had been signed.
Regarding the so per cent tax, SEN
ator Simmons and Senator Penrose,
ranking republican member OF the
committee, both declared this was the
maximum to be levied.
If, as Senator La Follette's minority
report contends, the average CORPORA
ton tax is 4S per cent, Senator Borah
said he could see great reason" Tor
| immediate passage of the bill.
Asks Why "Front" Changed.
Senator Borah asked why opposition
had suddenly changed front" on the
bill Senator Smoot said he could not
answer, but that republicans could be
relied upon to change the whole syS-
tenn.
Senator Townsend said he was SO
opposed to the 1920 provisions that
he would be ready to fiilibuster in or
der to defeat the bill.
That democrats know $4,000, 900, 900
will not be enough in 1920 was assert
| ed by Senator Townsend. Chairman
Simmons admitted the truth of the
statement and said he also knew
! $4,000. 100000 was insufficient for 1913
and that all or most of the excess
that would be required to pay wal
bills ought to be cared for by bonds
and not direct taxation.
Senator Townsend said: eff the re-
publicans had stood UP and fought
this bill. with it's 1920 provisions. as
they ought to have done, there would
be an extra session"
/ Chairman Simmons said Senator
Borah had indicated there was some
great mystery on the cessation of re-
publican opposition.
