80 PER CENT ON WAR PROFITS IS
 McADOO'S IDEA

Continued from Page One) victiOn that that program is sound and reasonable.
 "l earnestly hope that it may com mend itself to you and the commit tee. l regard the war profits tax as an integral and indispensable part of that program. As a result of the further consideration of the subject which has been given since I wrote you, l am confirmed in my opinion that a fiat war profits tax of so per cent should be imposed
 "Of course ample safeguards should be provided against hardships in ex- traOrdinary cases in the application of such a rate. The adoption of an so per cent war profits tax should render unnecessary and 1 believe undesirable any increase in the existing excess profits tax rate.
 Tt is my strong conviction that the taxation of genuine war profits is the only way to reach real war profiteer- ing and that it is at the same time a thoroughly justifable measure upon economic grounds as well as a certain and indispensable producer of a large

TANKS FORCED WAY AGAINST

CContinued from Page ons) given the men, for the most part, swept forward in open formation. The Germans launched a counter attack without success.
 The men on the American right fought their way along the chosen routes. Some of them foundered across through the water, while others used the bridges that still were stand ing.
 One detachment of Germans, some what more than company, moved for ward into the open. Here the Amer ican machine guns caught them, and, sweeping them with bullets, destroyed them almost totally.
 The Germans attempted to strike the Americans a disconcerting coun- ter blow with a considerable force by plunging down a ravine leading to the river. Their path had been cleared by their artillery and they might have succeeded in reaching the Americans, but the movement had been reported to the artillery stations south of the Vesle and from them there swept into the advancing column such a mass of shells that the formation was very quickly broken.
 At another point a detachment of Germans stood until the Americans were upon them. Then it became a hand-to-hand conflict, the only one of the kind during the battle. In, tho mud and in darknes where the com batants were barely able to distinguish each other they fought it out.
 The Americans won.
 The Americans on the left failed to reach their objectives until they had called for a second barrage. Under ! its. cover they rallied and struggled forward to the chosen positions.
 The Germans, in attempting to re- pulse the attack, used guns of 77 ant. 105 calibre and minnenwerfers. They had them on the higher ground, con siderably to the rear of the battle line. The American guns did excellent work not only in covering the advance but in breaking up formations, especially one large assemblage of infantry.

Cal. The regiments to form the van guard of the American contingent, will be the 27th and 31st, neither of which is recruited to war strength. This force will be supplemented by troops from the United States. The chief of staff said the American forces would not be a large one.
 General March said so far as he knew no commander in chief had yet been designated. He recalled that this could only be done by internation- al agreement such as was fOund to be necessary to concentrate the su- preme command of all the entente and American troops in Europe in the hands of General Foch. From other sources it was learned that negotia- tions are now under way to this end and that the chief of staff of the Japanese army, General Baron Uya- hara has been suggested and his name is now under consideration as com mander in chief
 General March said that the sailing of the expedition of General Graves will not be announced, but that upon arrival of the forces the news will be made public. It was not stated whether an announcement of the size of the American contingent may be expected. The Japanese force in con junction with the Chinese, who will act under Japanese direction, probably will be more numerous; in fact Japan is preparing to send into Siberia any number of troops necessary to carry out the declared purpose to give ef- fective aid to the CZecho-SlOvaks.

and fofced to. stand still by the British army; they were defeated in two of the most sanguinary battles of the war; they were left with unhealthy salients under the fire of our guns and with an extended line.
 Their purpose was to Overwhelm the British army; they declared it and they announced it in their inspired press, but on the first of May they left us to go south to make another at tack, for it could not be done in Tnc north. It was one of the finest things in tenacious valOr in the whole history of the British empire.
 "Only great emergency could have justified the sending of lads of eig:l- teen and half years, with only few months training to France. When they arrived there they went straight to the front, and as soon as they wers there they had to face the veterans and the victorious troops of the en- emy. But no veterans ever fought with greater steadfastness than these lads who helped to save the cause of the allies from disaster
 After the enemy's experience in that six weeks O. fighting, although we know what the plan was, the British army was not attacked for threb or four months. The Germans may come again, but that will be because they have failed elsewhere.
 ''I wish to give warm recognition to the assistance that the French gave in these operations. After May l the Ger mans fl1rnod off and attacked me French. They won preliminary sue cess on a considerable scale but not merely have they been forced to a standstill by Marshal Foch, but his counter stToke-the most brilliant in the annals of the waT-has driven back the enemy. The danger is not yet over, but he would be a sanguine man on the German general staff who now would predict that Germany could obtain a military decision this year. "

WASHINGTON, Aug. Taxa tion of the incomes of the presi- dent, federal judges and state of ficials and tax on state, county and municipal bonds was written into the SS.OOO,000.OOO revenue bill today by the house, ways and means committee. The committee also decided to apply the tentative estate taxes to proceeds of insur- ance policies in excess of S40,OO0. The president will pay an income tax of $24,000 on his s75,000 sal ary.
 The author of the plan adopted today is Representative Crisp. of Georgia. It was said at the capitol but not verified, that President Wilson has been paying income tax.

 "The patriotic producers of Amer ica should consent to that if their war profits are secured to them, es- pecially when we reflect that the men who are fighting and dying in France to save the liberty of those who stay at home and make 1t possible for them to continue in business are limited by act of congress to S396 per year for their services and have to give their blod in the bargain.
 Should we be more partial and tender to thosew ho are protected in safety at home than We are to those who make the supreme sacrifices for us on the field of battle? I sincerely trust also that amendments which ex- perience has shown to be desirable, if not esential to the provisions af- fecting the determination of excess profits taxes may be adopted"
 Secretary McAdOO also announced that the next Liberty loan and any others that may follow vii be on a A per cent basis.
 ''The public should realize" he said, that if the. rate were raised they would simply be hanging themselves by their own boot straps" The situ- ation must be kept sound by stabiliz- ing the rate of A per cent interest It is to the interest of the people, the banker, and the business man. because if the government raises its bid for money, then all industry will have to pay approximately more for new capital"
