ment afterward another group ac-
complished a similar maneuver high
er up, and they. too. converged south
ward upon the road. The tank that
had been injured seemed to have lost
its power. 1t stuck in the mud with
the tractors churning uselessly.
II flew forward over the village
and spotted a score Of Germans rum
ming back up the hill from the wood
through the cemetery on the western
outskirts. I gave them a round Of
bullets from so meters, and several
dropped. but the fire from the vii
,agc beyond the cemetery was very
hot, and l didn't wait long. I circled
back over the canal and flew along
it, raking the edge of the wood be-
low where the first battery of tanks
had crossed. As I came to that point,
I saw the third group make the cross
ing. One on the left ambled above the
tank in the mud.
"The next time I passed, a few
minutes later, they had attached a
steel hawser and were tugging him
cut, with shells falling all around l
saw no more there, but heard after
ward that they got him out all right,
and both managed to reach the VIII
lage.
"The patrol leader then signaled
us to cover the village in close order
as there were enemy planes above.
Two tanks were on the road at the
southern end beyond the cemetery,
firing at the villa on their left that
had worried me. We co-operated. and
a moment later the infantry rushed
the place and went on beyond. l saw
no boches run away, so l guess the
defenders had short shrift.
"By this time the French were well
established on the crest. but fighting
in the houses and gardens still con-
tinued.
II had hardly a scratch, save for
this arm disjointed. My machine was
badly smashed-I was lucky it didn't
catch fire-so I reckon by the time a
new ones tuned up I'll be about ready
to fly again. The surgeon said my
arm would be stiff for three weeks,
but I hope to get back on the job
in ten days at the oueside."

Corporations Must Pay
Corporations are taxed under either
the excess profits or war profits tax, ac-
cording to which rate yields the most
money to the Treasury in each individual
C ase. After the war profits or excess
profits tax. the corporation must pay an
Is per cent tax on its net income, which
remains undistrbuted and ~ per cent
on the income distributed in dividends.
Interest on Government, State and
municipal bonds, as well as dividends
from other corporations are exempt from
this tax. The war profits tax is based
on the difference between what a cor
poration made this year and what II
made in 1911, 1912 and 1913. Exclusive
of a fiat exemption of $4,000 the corpo-
ration must pay 80 per cent to the Gov
ernment
If the corporations profits were less
than 10 per cent during the pre-war
years they are allowed an additional
exemption of 10 pc" cent before the war
profits become operative. The excess
profits tax allows a fiat exemption of
$4,000 plus an exemption of per cent.
Profits between s and 15 per cent pay
30 per cent TAX between 10 ana 20
per cent SO per cent tax, and above
20 per cent a 20 per cent tax.
Ninety Per Cent Affected
Experts estimate that 90 per cent of
