Adoo and Kitchin Plans.

of the SS,000000,0O0 revenue bill was
practically completed on Wednesday

adopted the McAdoo suggestion of an
so per cent war profits tax, with fiat
10 per cent exemption. The war profits
tax probably will be levied on profits
in excess of the average for the three
years of 1911-12-13.
The excess profits schedule adopted
allows a single deduction of s per
cent
On profits of s to 10 per cent tax
of 80 per cent will be levied and on
profits of from 10 to 20 per cent the
tax will be 60 per cent.
On profits above 20 per cent the tax
will be 20 per cent.
The war profits and excess profits
taxes were made alternative, with
power given to the treasury to levy
whichever in any given case Will
brihg the larger returns.
The schedule is only tentative, but 1t
is expected that it will be approved
and incorporated into the bill which
will be reported out.

U. S. TROOPS DRIVE
FOE FROM RAILROAD
Yanks Advance Line East of
FiSmes.
ATTACK MADE AT NIGHT
Americans Consolidate and Hold Their
Positions Despite Heavy Enemy
Fire-Hun Patrols Are
Driven Back.

With the Americans on the Aisne-
Vesle Front, Aug 27.-Under cover of
darkness the Americans dug in" on
the railway embankment south of the
Vese between Courland and MagneuX.
They consolidated and held their posi-
tons despite heavy enemy fire.
The line reached carried the Ameri-
can positions forward a quarter of
mile on a two-mile front
Enemy Driven Off,
German patrols reconnoitered the
positions, intending to reoccupy them,
but a hail of American machine-gun
bullets greeted them and drove them
back to their line of defense north of
the Vesle.
The entire Vesle line was lombard
ed heavily throughout the day by the
Germans with a mixture of sneezing
gas and high explosives.
There were patrol brushes. The riv-
er bank between La Couryillette and
the west of MagneuX is still occupied
by the Americans
Early in the day Americans ad-
vanced to the railway, but fell back
under heavy fire from the Krupps, be-
ing unable to dig in during the day
light.
Begin Systematic Cleanup.
The Americans in the last few days
have begun a systematic cleanup of
Objectionable positions. The tannery
was first taken. Then an attack ON
a more pretentious scale was launched.
The Huns had dug in along the rail-
road skirting the south bank of the
Vesle, and had established numerous
maShine-gun nests. The Americans
were in dip south of the main Sois-
sOns-Rems highway and had to ad-
vance across open country toward the
railway.
A stiff barrage was put down on the
railway, the infantry starting their ad-
vance simultaneously. They topped the
highway quickly in the face of a ter
rife machine-gun fire. The attack was
so impetuous it sent the Boche rum
ming. A heavy enemy barrage was put
down on the railway, but the Ameri-
cans held on.
The Americans now hold the rail
way on both sides of Fismes. The
Boches are extremely nervous and are
constantly sending up rockets at night.
American patrols are maintaining con-
slant contact with the German lines,
harassing the enemy positions day and
night.

1S TO As DRAFT
WINS IN HOUSE
London of New York and Gordon
of Ohio Oppose
Measure.
FINAL VOTE WAS 1886 TO 2
Farmers Are to Be Placed in Deferred
Glasses if Senate Accepts Amend
ment-Fight to Call Youths
Last Fails.

Washington, Aug. 27.-By a vote Of
1886 TO the house passed the admins
tration man-power bill on Saturday
making the draft age limits eighteen
10 forty-five years, substantially as
| drafted by the war department.
The only votes afiainst the bill were
cast by Representative Meyer London
of New York, Socialist, and Represent
alive Gordon of Ohio, Democrat.
The new man-power bill as passed
by the house Of representatives pro-
vides for extension of the army draft
to men between the ages of eighteen
and forty-tive.
Amendments to the bill agreed TO by
the house provide that members OF
congress and state Legislators are not
amenable to the draft; that farmers
are TO be placed in deferred classes;
that the provost marshal general may
cause men to be re-eXamined after
their cases have been decided by local
boards, and that citizens of co-beilig-
erent countries will be subject TO the
draft except where treaties would be
violated.
An attempt to have men between
the ages of eighteen and twenty called
only after all in class ! over thirty-one
years had been called failed.
The senate failed to reach vote as
had been expected. So many senators
indicated a desire to discuss the bill
that Senator Chamberlain of Oregon,
chairman Of the senate military affairs
committee, foreseeing the impossible
ity of reaching a vote asked that it go
over until Monday.
The Gregg amendment, adopted Fri
day. making officers of the executive
and legislative branches Of the govern
ment subject to the draft, was defeat
ed on a second vote, 143 to 50.
The house also voted down the
amendment offered by Representative
Madden of Illinois providing that no
employee Of the executive departments
of the government should be granted
exemption or deferred classification
simply because of the nature of his
employment.
Representative Black of Texas
forced showdown on the question OF
drafting workers who strike after be-
ing exempted for essential industry.
He proposed an amendment similar to
that recommended by the senate mill
tary affairs committee. 1t was reject
ed 81 to 80.
The house agreed to an amendment
offered by Representative Treadway
of Massachusetts giving the provost
marshal general broader authority in
dealing with local draft boards. The
amendment would enable the provost
marshal general, if dissatisfied with
the work of Il local board, to send spe-
cial examiner into the district to re-
examine the men in deferred classifl-
cations.
The Treadway, McCulloch and
Campbell amendments, adopted Fri
day constitute the only important
changes made by the house In the Dill.
The McCuloch amendment orders the
drafting of the resident subjects OF
nations co-belllgerent with the United
States unless they are specifically eX'
empted by treaty. The Campbell
amendment specifically authorizes the
placing of persons engaged in agrlcul-
tural occupations in deferred classes.
