Revenue Bill Must Be Put in More Definite Form Be-
 fore Rest Considered
M'ADOO EMPHASIZES
 URGENCY OF BILL
Whether House Adjournment Over Election Is Possible Depends on a Speed of Senate Finance
 Committee in Revision

Washington. October 4-Although both houses were marking time while awaiting important legislation now be- today held up thoir plans for a definite recess or adjournment over the No- venlber elections until the new war revenue bill and the $7o0o. 900 900 army emergency appropriation measures take more definite form.
 The Senate was not in session, hay- ing adjourned yesterday until Mon- day. but leaders in the House agreed to put into effect an informal recess by meeting and adjourning each day until October 14, when the army ap- pr3priation measure is to be reported by the military committee. Senate leaders hoped to put into effect some similar arrangement until the House passes the army bill.
 Whether Congress will adjourn over the elections admittedly depends on the speed made by the Senate finance committee in revising the House draft of the revenue bill.
 At the urgent request of Secretary McAdoo the committee met earlier to- day than heretofore and remained in session an hour later.
 While anxious to complete the bill as quickly as possible, some eommittee members believe 1t may be impossible to report it to the Senate in time for any great consideration before the elections and consequently they felt that q brief efIadjournment might yet be possible Chairman Simmons said, however. that he would insist on the Senate reconvening immediately after the elections and would oppose the plan to adjourn until November 20, as outlined before Mir. McAdoo called at- tention to the urgent necessity Of quick action on revenue
 Representative Lodge, a member of the finance committee, in statement today replying U Secretary McAdoo's s request said that the committee has had the hnl only six working days and thai time is imperative to consider the great questions involved.
 Rapid progress vas made hy the finance committee today on the indi- vidua1 and corporation income tax pro- visions of the revenue bill The most important change was an amendment requiring all single persons with a gross income Of s106o and married persons whose gross income is $2000 to file income tax returns The House bill requires returns when the net m come exceeds 5000 and $2000 respcc.. lively Chairman Simmons eA plained that the amendment requiring returns from gross instead of net is design ned to give the treasury department in- stead of the individual taxpayer the decision regarding deductions and ex- emptions &
 Most Of tle House provisions exempt ing certain classes of corporations from taxation were approved and the House definition of ret and gross corporation income vas adopted except t..e insur- ance companies.

New Chancellor Considered "Very Democratic in tlermany-Ger- mans Believed About to Make
 New Peace Proposal

Amsterdam, October 4---Prince Maxi milan of Baden has been appointed German chancellor. says an official an- received from Berlin.
 Deputies Groeber, centrist, and Scheidemann, majority social democrat. have been appointed secretaries of state without portfolios.
 Official announcement Of the appoint ment of Prince Maximilian of Baden as imperiol chancellor confirms news paper reports emanating from Germany in the last few days. The prince suc- ceeds Count Won Hertling. Deputies Groeber and Scheidemann probably have been appointed secretaries in the impe- rial cabinet Adolph Goerber is one of the leaders of the centrist party in the Reichstag. Recently before the main committee of the Reichstag he crit icized the government and attacked von Hertling, the leader of the centrists.
 In the Reichstag in March, 1918, he defended Germany's methods of mak ing peace with Russia at Brest- Litovsk.
 Philip Scheidemann is vice president of the Reichstag and the leader of the majority social democrats.
 He, with his wing of the party, while nominally opposing some Of the govern ment's war policies, has swung to the governments aid whenever the Ger man arms seemed to be in the ascend ant. This was notably the case when after the passage of the "No annexa- tions and no indemnities" resolution of July, 1917. the majority socialists ac quiesced in the negotiations of the mo- torious Brest-Litvosk treaty after Rus sia had been crushed. Although any, thing but an internationalist in prac- tice, he has been active through in- ternationai socialist agencies in ef- forts to aid Germanys cause by help ing her peace offensives as much as possible. He has been called the tool of the pro -Germaus

TRYING TO FOOL ALLIES

Washington, october IA desperate effort by the Kaiser and his advisers to hoodwink the allies and the Ger man people into belief in the de- mocratization m of Germany is seen by observers here in the appoin tment of Prince Maximilian as imperial chancel- Tor, and Scheidemann the socialist. and Groeber, centrist, as members of the cabinet without portfolios.
 It is suspected that Germany is about to make new peace proposal disguised under most attractive democratic pro- gramme
 With these new names on the roster of the rulers of Germany. the Kaiser might point to them as realization of his recently announced policy of popular rule.
 It is realized there is a possibility that the Kaiser reads the handwriting on the wall and, realizing his coun- Ftry is doomed to defeat, may plan ac- tually to turn over share of the gov- ernment to representatives of popular rule and permit them to try to save the country.
