PLANES BRIGHTEN BROADWAY
Two Machines With Red Lights
Pay Nocturnal Visit.

Broadway quit Knitting for the
soldiers and sent her eyes heavenward
last night when two airplanes went
scurrying across the sky at Fiftieth
street and Broadway. The machines
carried red lights and were making
more time than any automobile speeder
had ever attempted in those gasoene
parts
When the first machine came along
some OF the timid thought that Friend
Boche had dropped in for visit and
there was hurried jump for door
ways, Then the big machine went
along about its business without
dropping wheelbarrow load Of T. n.
T. on the landscape. and the White
Light district caught its breath. With
in FIVE minutes the second machine
came along, and there was renewal
of the excitement.
Both airplanes came from the SOUTH
west and kept due northeasterly
course. They were flying about 1000
feet high, which is great deal less
than any enemy flier would dare try.
But Broadway did not take time TO
reason along technical lines. She just
ducked and came up for air when the
red lights were well out OF range.

GERMAN RETREAT
In FULL SWING

PARIS. Sept 3.-The German re-
.reat continues both in Flanders and
between Arras and Scissors.
Armentiers is directly threatened
by General Plumer's second army,
aided by Americans, who are hot on
the heels of General Won Armin's
fourth German army and General Won
Quast's sixth army. They are grad
ually yielding ground won at a tre-
mendous sacrifice in Hindenburg'
April offensive.
South of the Scarpe the British are
driving on, hourly increasing the
depth of the perilous pocket. at the
bottom of which lies Queant, one of
the main cornerstones of the Hinden-
burg defenses. Cambria lies only ten
miles east.
With Queant gone. Ludendorff will
have a hard job to prevent disaster
throughout this region. The fall Of
Riencourt and the capture of the
German positions on the high ground
south of that village has brought the
British up against Queant, which they
completely dominate at close range.
Both here and northward. as far as
the Scarpe, the British are fighting
over country which was not even
reached at ring the Arras DE OF
1917. They are threatening to roll
up the Hindenburg line. which they
have oyerrun to a depth of two to
three miles

stores as time will permit. The indi-
cations are that he hopes to get ali
his stores out and to fortify the coun-
try between Cambria and LaFere. in
the hope of preventing its capture BY
the allies.
Between Noyon and scissors the
Germans are fighting most stubborn

and Americans are battering their
way forward. American troops are

WAR REVENUE BILL
READY FOR HOUSE

The first milestone in completion
OF the $4,000. 10000 revenue bill was
passed today when the Ways and
Means Committee handed down a
complete draft OF the measure as It
will be reported to the House. The
new bill differs from the present law
in four essential points:
]. The income tax provisions which
proved a puzzle to many taxpayers
last year have been codifed and made
more simple;
>. a number of new administrative
provisions. including one for a tax
advisory board and another making
installment payment of taxes compul-
sorry, have been put in:
3. The excess profits tax and an so
per cent war profits tax have been
put into the new bill on an aIterna-
tive basis. and
4. a new luxury schedule. including
commonly recognized luxuries as well
as a long list OF semi-luxuries which
are taxed on the price over a certain
figure. are part Of the new measure
A great majority of the new rates
have already been made public.

SPAN|SH-GERMAN
CRISIS IS ACUTE

Seizure by Spain of a German ves-
sci interned in a Spanish port is com
mented on here as an act that will
disclose whether Germany can AFFORD
to declare war on Spain. The matter
has not been officially reported here,
but is received as a fact. The act Is
a retaliatory measure against Ger
many.
1t is known that there are more
than a hundred valuable German ships
in Spanish ports which may be seized
to avenge any future captures of
Spanish vessels trading under inter-
ational law az neutrals. The point
that interests high diplomats is the
fact that a ship has been seized not
how many there are which can be
seized.
The friction between Spain and Ger
many is said to be so acute that the
next insult to the Spanish flag by
Germany may result in Spain coming
out squarely for the allies. The Span
ish premier is intensely pro-ally.

LONDON. Sept. 3.-The Kaiser

these days. He is still completely

and the only question in which
he takes any interest is what
Vorwaerts calls the "JOiners." this
being the job of setting up new
thrones in the East. He is said
to be more passionately devoted
to his divine right theory than
ever, and his one burning anxiety
is to give crowns to as many of
the German princelings as pos
sible. He is a sad and bitter fig
ure in his days OF defeat.
