CONVENTION IN HOT FIGH1 OVER
 TAXATION LAWS
proposal to Iuclude aradu- ated Land Tax in Consti-
 tuition Starts Battle.

Little Rock, July 13.-To put grad uated land tax into the constitution or to leave it out altogether, or to leave such measure to the legislature formed the basis of a three -cornered question discussed on the floor of the constitutional convention all Sat urday morning.
 The discussion was started by Dele gate Warnock of Columbia county who offered a graduated land tax to Section of the tax proposals and spoke in behalf of his measure. Dele. gate Warnock said that he owned large tracks of land himself but that he deemed the tax necessary to pro- tect the people against these who would grab the land."
 Delegate McCate of Baxter county spoke against the measure declaring that large tracts of land were usually in ranges or forest reserves.
 Must Solve Question
 Major Clifton R. Breckinridge, dele gate from Sebastian county, pointed out that the majority of the nations that had decayed had died because of unjust land distribution. He declared that the ownership of land in Ger many in the hands of the bunker class was responsible for the present war and pointed out the revolutions in Mexico and Russia as evidences of the people to remedy this condition. Major Breckinridge declared that it was time the people of the United States were turning their attention to the same question.
 Delegate Belote of Hot Springs coun- ty supported the Warnock amendment in a vigorous attack upon the great landowners of the State. He declared that three corporations and two men owned two-t thirds of the land of his county, and that they wouldn't sell to the people at market prices. He in- stanced the holding of the Hamlen Slave Company in the Saline Valley of Grant county, which company wish ed to add to it's holdings. Mir. Belote said that such companies refused $25 per acre for land that cost them al- most nothing.
 McMillan Opposes
 Delegate McMillan of Clark County opposed the amendment on the ground that it was opposed to the constitutional provision which declar- ed that no one species of property should be taxed higher than another. MT. McMillan pointed out than a graduated tax on holdings was wrong for one reason that one 160-acre farm might be worth more than 5000 acres near by.
 Delegate Partain of Franklin County declared that he would vote for the amendment just in order to give some of the big land owners a chance to get rid of some of their property.
 q am not a corporation batter" declared MT. Partain, "but l. am for hitting hard the man who wants to own the earth and going after these men whose motto is to "To get all, keep all, and let the devil take the hindmost."
 Delegate Towkins of Nevada Coun- ty made the set speech against the amendment.
 He declared that the graduated land tax specifically appealed to many thinkers, but that it was radical de- parture from that equal and exact justice upon which all government

URGES INTERVENTION
 IN RUSSIA BY ALLIES
SenatOr BOrah Declares Entente Should send Military Force to
 East tO Free the SlAyS.

Washington, July 13.-Military as we'll as political intervention in Rus sia by the United States to bring about the establishment of stable government and the overthrow of German influences was urged in the senate today by Senator Borah of Idaho who declared that not until that has been accomplished could lasting peace be made.
 Senator Borah spoke in connection with the celebration of Bsstile Day. "Let us not criticize as the nations of Europe sat around and criticized at time of the French revolution" said he, adding that Russia was entitled to the guidance of this country and to the aid and confidence of free peo- pie.
 Senator Borah pointed out that Rus sia early in the war, by compelling the central powers to maintain a force on the eastern front prevented the allied defeat at the battle of the Marne.
 CT have no doubt in my mind that there is a tremendous force in Russia that is not in sympathy with the Ger man cause,' said Senator Borah. "There is every reason to believe this especially as result of the activity in Siberia in the last ten days. There is a powerful force in Russia that would be willing to cooperate with any force that entered Russia without selfish purposes"
 The Boleheviki represent only a small percentage of the Russian peo- pie, Senator Borah said. while lenine was but an incident"

Associated Press Summary

Rainy weather in Northern France , has caused the further soaking of the ground particularly in the tow lying 1 portions of the battle front has had something to do with the delay of the Germans in renewing their offen- sive. It is a month now since the last offensive died down, swamped by the tide of a French success on the banks of the Matz. north of Com peigne and there is as yet no sign Of the enemy being ready to strike again.
 Meanwhile the allies have been pushing back the German line little b" little at various important points hardly day going by without a French or a British attack These in the aggregate have gained valuable defensive ground and resulted in the taking of thousands of German pris- oners. Meanwhile the German diplo- mats are again airing their war aim and program. and engaging in pease talk
 The German chancellor has touch- cd upon the vital question Of Belgium and has declared that Germany does net intend to retain that country "in any form whatever" She is holding 1t as a pawn in the negotiations, he asserted, and the German government
 finde it ,expedient to explain this reference in an official statement in which 1t Is declared that the holder of pawn does not intend to keep it "if the negotiations bring 2 satis- factory result"
 Germany also is exercised at the situation in Russia if the newspaper utterances of her newspapers go for ""''thing The idea that the Bolshe- wiki are retaining power by the yer fest dread is reflected in advices to roroe of the German organs and fear that the Bolsheviki regime will fall and With 1t the elaborate edifice er- ected in German interests by the Brest-Litovsk treaty is openly ex- pressed.
 Disquietude over the hold the CzechO- Slovaks have secured upon Si- beria and at the prospect of an allied defense into interior Russia from the north, the Murman coast evidently be- ing meant, is likewise shown
 In this connection it was annonced in Washington yesterday that Brit ish endorsements have been Aent to Siberia to assist the Russians and Czecho-Slovaks in protecting allied stores at Vladivostok.
 Washington advices reflect the views that further and more definite peace feelers may be expected from Germany which is felt in high quart. CTS to have her eyes turned to tho east. With the gaining in control in Russia outweighing in our estima- tion all that she might have been in- clined to make an effort to retain uD- on the western front.
 The Albanian campaign. altho en- tirely subsidiary to the operations on the western front. has continued to be the most active theatre of war SO far as extensive gains of ground are involved. The advance made mainly by the Italians with the French on the right flank have already reached maximum depth of P miles on front of some 80 miles, straighten- ing the allied lines as it runs from the Adriatic and links up the Mace Gonian front.
