the illustrator was engaged chiefly and
lucratively in making pictures for chill
dren's story books. 1t was s1e who
contributed the lovely drawings for
Nine. Georgette lie Blanc Maeter-
linck's book about THE Blue Bird
written for children and based upon
her husbands play. Thus for Mr.
Ames's purpose Mr. Paus became a
logical candidate to design pictures
which eventually should expand into
scenic sets for the sequel to the first
Maeterlinck fairy play.
With the entrance into the war OF
America and in response to the call for
services OF poster artists Mr.. Paus
turned suddenly and effectively to pic

at the chamelconlike transition. An
artist whose genre had been akin to
that OF Maxfleld Parrish might hardly
be expected to put u punch into war

did, and with such telling effect that
the reaction was prompt and no was
besieged by offers 10 continue In poster

THE AMES SCENERY.

When Winthrop Ames selected an
artist to design the scenery for 1.-THE
Betrothal." Maeterlincks sequel to
"The Blue Bird" he had In mind the
very special qualifications for the work
exhibited by Herbert Paus. the decora-
tive illustrator. When the new Maeter-
linck play Is shown for the first time
on any stage at the Shubert Theatre
on November II it will be seen that the
artistic Judgment of the director Of the
Little Theatre was sound, as usual.
Herbert Paus may be said TO be the
Jekyll-Hyde of his craft; but II was
not this protean talent which inspired
his being selected by MIR. Ames for a
most important task--important to the
artist as we'll as to the producer, since
Mp Paus makes his bow as a scenic
designer in THE Betrothal."

with his colonel's wife, whom he has
since married. Money is scarce

Parsons goes out, returning in a few
minutes.
Parsons-It's Simphns's boy with
the duck.
Hogg-Good.
Parsons-And he won't leave Il
without the money.

now the whole village has gone.

WOULD CONSCRIPT
 ALL WAR PROFITS
Wealth Conscriptionists" Win Urge Radical Measure When 8 Billion Dollar Tax Bill Comes Before
 the United States Senate.

Washington, Sept 7.- Conscrip- tion of every dollar of war profits and heavy taxes on all profits will be urged by that group of senators known as wealth conscriptionists, !" when the eight-billion war tax bill comes before the senate.
 While Rep. Kitchin, the ways and means committee chairman, today de- tended the house bills excess profits tax provision, the wealth conscription senators were planning their cam paign for 100 per cent war profits tax. They agree with See. McAdoo that the excess profits tax plans of the house bill is unsound and unjust. So that they will not be disorganized and divided as they were on the last tax bill, they are organizing now, and carefully mapping out their cam paign.
 The fundamental principle upon which they base their attack is that no one should profit dollars worth out of the war while other Americans are giving up business, family, and life for the safety of the nation. They are massing figures to show that their plan will produce more rev. enue than the house bill, which for an excess profits and war profits tax, the heavier of the two to be levied in every case where either would apply.
 McAdoo's opposition to the excess profits scheme has given the wealth conscriptionists hope that he will fa- vor and back their plan They already have been assured of support by some senators who last year were hos tile to them.
 They will point out that with ex- penditures piling and a greatly in creased army to support the govern ment should not again let war pro fits get by, as they claim it did in levy ing the profits tax imposed in last years bill The people generally, they will say, must be left as free of taxes as possible, that they may be able to buy bonds and other war sureties.
 Startling figures have been gath
 cred on war profits. Some grave
 charges of the use of high posi-
 tions to further private business
 in this will be made, backed by
 figures. Every possible effort will
 be made to drive home the fact that the war profits have been
 getting away.
 It became more evident today that the senate finance committee as a whole does not favor the house plan of taxing profits, and that some rad ical change will be made in the house bill. This has further encour- aged the wealth conscriptionists. The senate committee will continue it's hearings next week while tho house will begin general discussion of the bill.

DRIVE HUNS 10
 RHINE THIS YEAR !?
Army OfIicials Confident Pershing's Army Soon Will Be Called on to Strike Decisive Blow-Big
 Roche Retreat Is Near.

Washington, Sept. 3-Reports from the British front today indicated to military officers here that the German retirement, heretofore conducted with utmost military skill, was getting out of hand. Under the terrific pressure of the British and French armies all along the line from Ypres to Soissons the enemy apparently is being forced to more precipitate withdrawal, particularly on the old Drocourt- Queant front, where Marshal Haig's men hammered forward irresistibly again today.
 The official announcement from London that more than ten thousand prisoners have been taken in two days of fighting on this front in itself indicates. it is said, that there is growing Reorganization in the Ger man ranks.
 Pershing to Strike?
 With this in mind there was wide speculation today among officers as to what new developments of the battle are to be expected. It was clearly evil dent that observers believe the time is fast approaching when Gen. Persh- ing's first field army will participate in the battle, on the theory that Gen. Foch has been withholding this new and vigorous force for decisive blow when the time was ripe. As to where CT when that blow would he delivered. however, there was wide variance of opinion.
 On all isides it is evident here that announcement of the formation of the first American Field Army, and the fact that many American units which had been brigaded with the French or British for final training have been withdrawn to be added to it, have been taken to mean that the Ameri- cans would attack during the present year. Ample time remains, it is said, for the organization of the force to be completed and the assault launched before winter interferes.
