not Intentionally doing the kaiCer's
work, he was doing 1t unconsciously.
The Thompson campaign has not
departed, and could not have departed,
from the original lines laid down for

denunciation Of the president for his
part in bringing us into it; concerning
the allies, our feeding Of them. and
financial assistance to them, of which
Thompson complained when 1t was
relatively safe to complain, not word

Thompson henchmen. Against the

on the war has already been forgotten
or will be treated by voters as or no
special Importance or relevance at this
juncture.
Thompson's only stock in trade is
Of the wealthy and cor
porate interests. of the profiteers, OF
the rich tax dodgers, OF the oppressors
and exploiters of the people. He con-
demns the present administration and
congress for all manner of imaginary
sins of commission and omission. IL
only bold. fearless, radical statesmen
of his calibre were Mt the helm, why.
the people would have lower prices
and lower taxes while the rich would
be made to disgorge and support the
burden of the war. Anyhow, If 1t be
too much to hope for many heroic
thompson in congress, one will do
for he will. be a host IL himself. He
will always stand ready to arraign, 70

neglected and down-trodden masses.
He will be no presidential messenger

WEALTH TAXED TO LIMIT,
LONCWORTH DECLARES
Daily Necessities Must Now
Bear Burden of Ban
ishinr Kaiser.

Washington, Sept. 10.--Wealth Is
taxed to about the straining point by
the new revenue bill. Representative
Longworth. of Ohio, declared in the
house today when debate on the huge
tax measure was resumed.
He warned his hearers that any ad-
ditional taxes levied hereafter must be
borne by the people purchasing articles
of daily necessity, and said that as the
cost of the war mounts n greater por-
tion of 1t will have to be borne by fu-
ture generations.
Mr.. Longworth said the tax OF 80
per cent. on war profits and the maxi
NUNS Of 70 per cent. on excess profits
and II per cent. on incomes was
mighty near the danger mark" He
added that this Is a bill ito raise war
revenue and not reorganize society,"
Most of the coming issue Of liberty
bonds, Mr.. Longworth said. will be pur9
chased by individuals and their pur-
chasing power will be affected directly
by the taxes on their incomes.
Although criticising some of Its
features, Mr.. Longworth commended
the bill as n whole as vast improve
ment over the old law.
"Make Us Brothers."
In concluding, the speaker portrayed
the conditions under which the Ger
man people. gagged and bound pay
bloody tribute to the insatiate ambi-
ton of the house Of Hohenzollern."
and said that mo citizen of the en-
battled nations. not even the son OF
the great paclfist, Henry Ford. is more
surely immune from bodily harm"
than are the German emperor's six
sons. "who will be preserved undam-
aged for posterity." Sons Of the pres
dents of the United States, he said by
have been less timorous.
Without mentioning any names he re-
ferred to the four sons of his father
IN law Col. Roosevelt, and to the son
If former President Taft. II Presi-
lent Wilson had been blessed with any
sons of fighting age, Mr.. Longworth

This was at the rate Of 5000 day
nearly.
The activities have been slowed down
somc by the autumnal storms whicn
have set ih, but. the allied advance
still continues.
The present work consists mainly In
clearing out the enemy from OF points
and pockets and in stabilizing tina line.
There Is now much gossip among
the troops that the war will be over
before next summer. The men are In
q .buoyant mood.
The Germans, while busy with their
wholesale retreat. posted strong FORCES
here as well as along the Canal du
Nord and fighting was brisk here for
days, being mostly machine gun en-
gagements.
Havrincourt wood is one of the
largest pieces of wooded ground IN
that part of France. 1t was so full OF
German machine guns that IT resem-
bled pin cushion. The blackened
and splintered trees gave the ground
the spotted appearance of a leopards
skin. and lay out in ugly angles
against the sky.
1t was dangerous work advancing at
that point. And, while 1t was a local
fight compared with the activities
along the fifty-mile front. it was an
important piece of ground and to-
gcther with the adjacent hills had to

within striking distance of the old Hin
denburg line.
The English and New Zealand troops
finally chased the Germans out of their
last entertainments, storming the ma
chine gun nests and making them feel

lines were won.
