American Airnen
Victors in Tits
With Hun Planes

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Aug. 15.-Capt Chas.
J. Biddle, Of Andalausia, Pa, is the
latest American aviator to bring
down German airplane. While out
with patrol this morning Captain
Biddle met three monoplanes north
Of Flirey.
The Americans attacked and one
of the German machines fell, appar-
emily out Of control. It vanished in
the mist so that Captain Biddle's vic
tory has not yet been confirmed.
Lieut.. Vaughan R. Mccormick, of
Columbus, Ohio, got his second off
cial German airplane yesterday when
he engaged the enemy north of st.
Mihiel. French observers have con-
frmed the destruction of the eGr-
man.
Another enemy machine was shot
down August 10 by Capt. Ray G.
Bridgeman, Of Lake Forest, ILL.,, near
Xivray, in the destruction Of which
Lieut.. Mccormick also shares Off
cially.
Additional American victories in
the air include monoplane, appar-
entity shot down by Lieut.. Hermann
Schultz, of Bettendorf, Iowa, which
went down in a steep dive through
the clouds over Flirey after 375 shots
had been fired at it, and biplane
attacked by Lieut.. Edgar G. Tobin,
Of San Antonio, in the vicinity of
Evyesen. Confirmation IS being
sought for both these victories.

Don't Tax Brains
And Free Capital,
Is Plea Of McAdoo
Excess Profits Levy Would Do
That, He Tells House Com
mittee-War Profits Tax
Would Reach Big Concerns.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Great
corporations will pay vastly increased
revenues to the government under a
war profits tax than from levy on
excess profits, even if the rates be
made higher.
This was the text for strong ar
gument made this afternoon by Sec
retary McAdoo before the ways and
means committee. He reviewed the
taxation situation from every angle,
and produced comprehensive data
prepared by experts of the treasury
department, to demonstrate that the
supposedly immune corporations
would pay largely augmented sums
to the government.
Although no names are given, it is
known that the Standard Oil Co., the
American Tobacco Co., the Utah Cop
per Co., the Liggett & Myers Tobacco
Co., and the Ford Automobile Co.
are included in the figures submitted
by the secretary.
The matter of taxing incomes also
was discussed by Mr.. McAdoo. He
made suggestions for increasing the
revenue from this source and elm
mating certain inequalities which
have been shown during the admins
tration Of the present law.
Secretary McAdoo further request
ed protection for issues Of Liberty
Bonds, and indicated that care should
be exercised in taxing luxuries. He
insisted that haste was an important
consideration, and the pending bill
should be on the statute books before
the next Liberty Loan drive is initi-
ated.

Allies ArchangeI
Force In Battle
With Soviet Army

LONDON, Aug. 15.-The allied
Archangel expeditionary force has
reached Pabereshnkaia, 100 miles
south Of Archangel on the railroad
toward Vologa, it is announced here.
Bolshevik forces, on retiring, are de-
clared to have committed every form
Of atrocity upon the civilian popula-
ton. Fairly determined resistance to
the allied advance was offered by the
bolshevik and the progress Of the
expeditionary force was delayed.
Allied forces have been landed
along the shore of Omega bay, 100
miles southwest of Archangel, for the
purpose of intercepting bolshevid
forces retiring from Archangel, it Is
learned here.

One Month Ago
Germans Lost War
On Field Of Battle
By J. w. T. MASON,
United Press War Expert.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-one
month ago today Germany lost the
war on the field of battle, when the
Americans broke the center Of Won
Hindenburg's fifth offensive and
drove the kaiser's troops back across
the Marne at JaulgOnne.
This initial use of American man.
power on an extensive scale, COM
PEELED Won Hindenburg's first retire
ment since he started his bloody
campaign to win the war with de-
cisive victory along the west front.
It was not until three days after the
successful American counter blow
that Marshal Foch ordered general
attack along the Marne salient. The
interval was used to determine
whether Won Hindenburg could re-
cover from the stunning effect Of his
failure to establish his line south of
the Marne along the American front,
He tried feebly to do so, but his
strategy had been too seriously in
terrupted by Pershing's men. AS
soon as this fact was demonstrated.
Marshal Foch realized the initiative
had passed into his own hands. This
is why Germany lost the war at Jaul-
gonne.
Henceforth Won Hindenburg must
fight on the defensive. His conquer
ing cause can no longer inspire him
with hopes of victory this year or any
other year. The kaiser is no longer
conqueror. One month ago today the
kaiser started moving his army back
ward toward Germany under the un-
yielding pressure of Americas mill
tary prowess. There will be no per-
manent interruption or that process.
The allies successes north of the
Marne and in Picardy are the direct
results of Americas Victory az Jaul-
gonne. Jaulgonne net eniy showed
Marshal Foch he had secured the in
itiative, but also demonstrated to
Won Hindenburg and the kaiser that
Americas millions Of soldiers were
capable of conducting offensive OPP
erations with the highest degree Of
efficiency. Realization Of this fact
by Germany's military leaders fixed
again July 15, 1918, as the date on
(which Germany lost the war.

Germans Club
Their Prisoners

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
ON THE VESLE, Tuesday, Aug. IA,
Worn out from fatigue and suffer
ing from hunger, two escaped British
prisoners staggered into the Ameri-
can lines north of the Vesle today
They had escaped from German pen
after having been captured in the
Marne fighting and it took them seven
days and nights to work their way
to Fismette.
On the last lap of their journey
the Britishers ran through German
barrage. When they had identified
themselves the American soldiers Of
fered them their ratrons and scores
of cigarettes. Their rescue prom.
ised to be as dangerous physically as
their journey between the lines, when
officers checked the hospitality Of the
Americans.
The Britishers said that the ration
given prisoners was three-quarters Of
a pound Of potato bread, pint Of
thin vegetable soup and coffee
made of Hawthorne berries. The al.
lowance Of a German soldier was the
same, only in somewhat greater guam.
tity, occasionally supplemented b.
horse meat.
It is a common practice Of the Ger
mans, the escaped men added, to beai
their prisoners with clubs and butts
of rifles. Wounded prisoners, thes
said, were sent to hospitals only wher
they were unable to walk and ther
received little attention.

Fifty Miles
From Paris

WASHINGTON, Aug. .15.A new
drive against the German positions
either in Flanders or between the
Disc and Scissors is expected by
many army officers here as a result
of the slowing up Of the advance in
the Picardy theater.
Outlining the situation at his mid
week conference with newspaper men
today, Gen. March, chief Of staff, con-
fined his statements to pointing out
that the Germans have now been
forced back until they are not within
fifty miles of Paris at any point.
The head Of the army has previous
ly laid stress on the fact, however,
that the greatest advantage won by
Marshal Foch in a military way is in
having wrested The initiative from
the enemy.

Germany Has Lost,
Say Enemy Officers

ON THE FRENCH FRONT, Aug.
15.--A marked change in the mental
attitude of prisoners taken from the
enemy is noted here. Hitherto !
have been able to write of the de-
pressed morale of the men, but it has
been impossible until now to say
anything of the feelings of the Of
ficers.
Today, however, some enemy Off
GERS were openly stating that Ger
many had lost the war. This state
ment is apparently due to the fact
that they have been shocked by the
unexpected power of the French and
British to deliver an offensive on a
large scale, and they had believed
that their own offensive would result
in immediate peace. A few of the
officers, however, still maintain that
Hindenburg is able to save the situa-
ton.
German difficulties as regards war
material of all sorts and their trou-
bles over horse transports are en-
phasized by the prices brought by
horses at Hanover, Good working
cart horses fetched from $1,000 tc
$500; medium-sized horses from
$500 to 5000; inferior animals from
$500 to $3.50; ponies $3.50 to $3.50
and horses for slaughter $500 tc
