WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.-The senate
finance committee today suggested and
eliminated from the eight billion dol

and excess profits clause written into
it by the house. The committee adopt
ed an amendment which still provides
for war and excess profits but which
does not give the taxpayers an alter
rative method committing tax or the
treasury department the right to say
whether a concern shall pay war or ex-
cess profit tax. 1t reduces somewhat
the excess profit rate in accordance
somewhat with the views Of Secretary
McAdoo.
Under the house plan concern
would pay which ever Of the two taxes
vas higher. 1t provides that upon ex-
cess profits UP 70 twenty per cent tax
shah be paid and on excess profits Of
over twenty per cent tax or sixty
percent.
Upon war profits the house tax OF
sixty per cent is retained

PARIS, Oct. % 1.-The
German reply gives no sat
isfaction to France" a high
government official stated
today.
President Wilson stated the
allied command should dictate the
conditions of an arnistice. Ger
many asks it on the basis advan-
tageous to Germany. She agitates
the question of honor after the
most numerous lies. I am sure
President Wilson cannot be pleas
ed that Germany attempted to
make the world believe he was
hasty when he denounced her
murder. She would like to induce
neutrals to verify things which
have already been verified. thus
to gain time and prolong the con-
versation.
Berlin vainly waited for improve
ment in the military situation. Then
Won Hindenburg brought bad news 10
Berlin which consequently set forth in
its reply more ardent desire for an
armistice.
1T is possible that President Wilson
will make no reply. In case he does
France is utterly confident Of hts de-
cision.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Delay
in delivery of the official note to
the state department today gave
rise to belief that there had been
some difficulty in DECIDING it and
perhaps there was some difference
between the official text and that
sent out by a Naucn wireless.
President Wilson while waiting for
the official text of the German note to
be laid before him took long walk this
morning, accompanied only by two
secret service men.
President Wilson will act with ex-
treme caution in handling the situation
arising from the latest peace response.
a pause will be taken to see whether
the Teuton reply VIII stand the test.
1t is deemed likely. however. that
after the president has an opportunity
10 study the official text of the German
note some Indication will be given as to
his attitude
The note as seen by intimates of the
president indicates a confession of de-
feat. Others close to the president saw
in the note a compliance of his request
for evacuation.
Germany's attempted justification Of
her wanton acts Of cruelty and destruc-
ito non land and sea stirred resentment
here Military men and others say that
while there may be trickery in Ger
many's recent n1aneuvers the military
economic situation confronting her is so
bad that there can be no question that
she is making a sincere drive for peace.
