HUNS SHELL FRENCH.
While the German heavies were
sending continuous volleys into
the French positions around
Mailly, evidently preparatory to
infantry attempts to retrieve the
reverses of the last few DAYS,
shock troops undertook a sharp
attack against the new French
position northwest of Orvillers-

IN the Chambreet sector and on

played considerable vigor. South
of Albert, east of Loos and south
of Voormezeele the enemy car

approval arose that the House, soon aft
er this session convened, passed bill
making salaries of senators and con.
eressmen subject to the tax. This bill
has been laid away in remote recess
OF the Senate. Although Senator Sim.
mons. chairman of the committee on
finance, would like TO see the bill passed,
he is reluctant to bring it out at this
time because of the threat of amend
ments, This bill, ii the present plan is
followed. will lie over until general

Reports are in circulation that sub.
stantal increases will be made in the
income and excess profits tax by the
coming revenue bill and in taxes on lux
uries. \ list of articles on which il is
thought large tax may be levied will be
prepared by treasury experts. Liquor
and tobacco taxes probably will be in

Taxes on articles such as tea, coffee
and sugar are not contemplated at this
time. Ii is admitted that such taxes are
excellent revenue producers but there is
so much opposition TO them that the
committee is reluctant to resort TO the
method OF taxation.
An attempt will be made to raise al
least 81 ,5O000O,OO0 year additional
revenue by the bill to be prepared. At
his rate it is figured something like

ng loans TO the allies, may be paid by
