Washington, D. c., July 22.-Sena-

Secretary McAdoo and President VIII
son to get their eight billion dollars
revenue bill from the excess profits
and the unearned incomes. This was
his purpose in asking reports on this
subject from the federal trade COM
mission and treasury department.

the senator. They are. however,
very helpful particularly the report
made by the federal trade commission
under the direction of w. B. Colver.

WHY THE KAISER'S
ADVANCE STOPPED
Allies Developed the Counter Of
fensive as Answer to
Hunnish Tactics
10y Newspaper Enterprise Ass'n.)


London, July 22.-Germany's break
down in her list offensive proves to
military observers that the allies CAN
smash the German lines and push the
HUNS back to their own border.
There is no basis for this pessimis
tic view
II the present German tactics had
been used in 1914 the Germans could
never have been stopped at the
Marine; they could have swept all
northern France to the sea. a,..
Germany's present tactics have fail
ed because allied tactics have de.
veloped faster than have those OF the
HUN.
German drives now begin at points
80 miles or more behind the battle
line: Divisions move forward on a
cl0cklike schedule, now faster now
slower, at the same time keeping up
wheel-like revolving movement SO
that the divisions moving the fastest
pass those which are slowing down
for a rest, and those which are rest.
ed gradually march again and quick
en- their pace until they in turn are
passing those now due for short re,
spite. ...
"Leapfrogging," the allies have nam
ed this German trick.
At the same time the HUNS have
developed wonderfully the art of cam
ouflaging moving troops.
The combination of perfected cam
outage and the 'leapfrog" march &C.
counts for the Hunnish ability to move
great masses of troops to the actual
line without being spotted by allied
airmen. ...
The German drives are so arranged
that picked "storm troops" hit the al.
lied line with great momentum; these
are followed by other fresh troops
with specialized duties. such as lin
filtration" companies armed with ma
chine guns troops specially trained to
cIean out NESTS" Of combatants pass
ed by the infiltrators and then troops
prepared to occupy and defend cap
tured positions
1t is still considered likely that the
HUNS will attack again, probably
near Amiens and the Franco-Ameri-
can counter offensive is not to he un.
derstood as the beginning of an allied
drive.

Germany's first gas. attack was

not believed. The attack, Germans
claimed, killed 5000 British In 80 min

British lines. Chlorine was used,

for oxygen. The gas was projected
through nozzle;7 weighted with sand

themselves by burying their faces in
