The troops covering Rheims have with
drawn behind the Aisne Canal, northwest

The battle took on particular violence
on our left wing In the region of Sois-
sons, after stubborn resistance and fight
ing in the streets, which held back the
enemy for several hours, our troops
evacuated the town. the western out
skirts of which we occupy.
Southeast of SCISSORS the battle ex-
tended to the plateau marked by Belleu,
Septmonts, Arnbrief and Chaerise.
In the centre, under the pressure of
the enemy, we gave ground in the region
Of Loupeigne, north of Fere-en- Tsrdenois.
This represents a gain of about five miles
on the road to Paris The Germans are
now sixty-two miles from the French
capltal-l
the east maintained their positions on
the line of Brouillet. Savigny and IilIoy.
On the right the troops which are
covering Rheims have withdrawn behind
the Aisne Canal, northwest of the town.
The afternoon French War Office re-
port stated:
Last night the German advance, as
sisted by the arrival of fresh divisions.
was more powerful, especially on both
wings, in the directions Of scissors and
Rheims
On the left, French troops, fighting
every foot of the way, fell back to the
eastern outskirts Of Scissors, where the
hattie continues with violence, On the
right, Franco-British troops, after an
energetic defence Of the Massif Of St
Thierry, withdrew slowly 10 the heights

the normal rate In the past and they
promise 10 60 steadily higher IN the next

Tentative estimates now are that
81 900 000, 600 Will be spent between
next July /, the opening Of the new fiscal
year and December 81 SIX months

dent Wilson IN his revenue address be

So far Is ofhcials are arle to estimate
At this Tune more than SOB 600, 0OO. 600
will be spent by the government in the
next fiscal year nearly twice as much rs
IN the year ending u month from Friday
This figure is based on the belief that after
monthly expenditures reach s. 00O,O 0O,-
600 month, they will bc limited by the
output Of American industries and the
carrying capacity of available ocean
tonnage.
These calculations may be modified
from time to time, Treasury officials
explain, IN keeping with progress Of the
industrial development Of the country
and the shipping program. but III provid-
ing IN advance for revenue to meet the
huge war expenses, Congress will be called
on to conTIder the maximum obligations
which the government may be required TO
meet.
Examination today Of recent expenses
showed that so-called ordinary expendi-
lures for MAY, including practically all
OUTLAWS of the government except loans TO
allies will be above 81 900, 000, 900 for the
first time IN history, running approximate
ly 81 O67 900 600. Actual payments To
allies during the month are set at about
$3.50 600, 900 about 500, 600 900 more
than in any previous month this year, but
somewhat less than in most of the fell
and winter months last year The IN
crease was interpreted rs an Indication
that shipping facilities ere becoming
better, since the sum which the allies
can spend in thus country IS limited largely
by the amount of war materials they can
export. Payments are made only to
meet actual needs from time TO time
Another record has been made this
month In revenue receipts which will
amount to about $3.50 900, 900 by the
end of the week more than in any pre-
vious month About $3.50, 100000 of
this sum came from advance payments
of income and excess profits taxes, due

The Stacker Record drive will be-
gin tomorrow and will continue until
November 9. Women will be stationed
at the various music stores to re-
ceiye records. Persons who do not
have any records to contribute may
buy them or give money which will be
used for buying them.
Already $50 records have been re-
ceived. One hundred were sent in by
Cambridge City.
A steady flow of records is wanted
even though peace seems near Keep
them going until Rehabilitation, IS
the request sent over the United
States.
Modern military authorities believe
that Just as the army moves on It's
belly as Napoleon sagely observed, it
fights on its music. That music makes
morale has become an axiom of the
present day warfare. In camps at
home and overseas, on the battleship.
on the submarine, on the transport,
in the front line trenches, and under
the very nose of the guns, music is
standing shoulder to shoulder with
the soldier and sailor.
Women will be stationed as fol
lows tomorrow afternoon to receive
records: Mrs. Fred J. Bartel, Miss
Gertrude Bartel, Mrs. Bessie Keats,
at Fulghum's Victrola shop.
Mrs. George Eggemeyer, Mrs. Erie
Reynolds, Miss Mabel Hasemeier and
