Chairman kitchin Makes Longest Speech Ever De- livered in House in Ex-
 plaining Revenue Bill
FINAL VOTE BEFORE SEPTEMBER IF OR IS
 THOUGHT UNLIKELY
Should Be Enacted by Both Houses by November l, in Opinion of Lead CTS, Who Hope New Revenue
 Measure Not Necessary
(By Associated Press)

Washington, September z. Explaining of the history making revenue bill, which i'm poses more than $8,000,000,00O in taxes on the American peo- pie, and authorizes twice that amount in Liberty Bonds for next year, was concluded in tine House today by Chairman Kitchin of the ways and means committee. MT. Kltchin started speaking yesterday and mem bers said his address was the longest ever delivered in the House.
 Probable effect of prohibition legisla- tion on the nation s revenues was frankly discussed by MT. Kitehin in explaining the beverage section of the war tax measure. He also took up the war and excess profits features as well as those affecting corporations and luxuries.
 General debate on the bill will continue next week and leaders tonight revised their predictions for passage of the measure next Saturday. They believe now that minor committee revisions, pos sibiy of the liquor taxes because of pend- ing prohibition legislation, and debate will prevent final vote before Septem- Der r or IS. Representative Fordney of Michigan, ranking republican member of the ways and means committee, plans to speak Monday, urging tariff tax in- creases to obtain additional revenue.
 In his address today. MT. Kitchin said the bin should be enacted by both houses of Congress by November 1 and he ex- pressed the hope that another war rev enue measure next year would not be necessary. although he said that if na- tional prohibition is enacted new tax sources will have to be found to replace the s1, ,250, 0,0Oo, GOO estimated tax on alcoholic beverages provided for in the present measure.
 Such legislation, Mir. Kitchin said, prob ably will not be necessary before next year. although the administration order, announced yesterday. stopping the man. ufacture of beer December I next, will cause a loss under the present bill of about sl2O,oo0.oo0.
 Future upward revision of taxes, Mir Kitchin stated, must be met under con- ditions existing after the prohibition 1 legislation is passed, and if it's neces- 1 sary to find new tax sources, several hundred millions, can be obtained by tariff increases, gross sales and con, 1 sumption taxes

Marshal Foch'S succession of hammer blows along the German lines from Rheims to Arras since July IS have well nigh completely flattened out the bulges created by the German offensives of the spring and early summer.
 Further still, the well co-ordinated progress of his attack has brought him to point where he may well be able to strike a still more disastrous blow to the German defensive system in the west.
 From Laon to Cambrai the Hindenburg line stood all last year in the way of the allied armies seeking to drive back the enemy from northern-France and Elan ders. Little impression was made in that line except temporarily in General Byng's drive below Cambrai last fall In this summers campaign, however, the line has been pierced on a wide front along its northerly stretches by the Brit ish. and within the last few hours 1t has been penetrated in it's southernly reaches by the French.
 It appears that Marshal Foch's plan may prove 10 involve the turning of the line on both it's flanks-at Cambrai ana Laon. In the north the British have been for several days in a position to deliver what might easily prove vital stroke to the west Of Cambrai, where they have halted at the Canal Du Nord and made no move toward driving home the blow which the logic of the situation points to as inevitable.
 In the south the armies of General Pe- tain have fought their way to positions where the left flank of the line is under their guns and the edges of their posi- tion are beginning to feel their pounding.
 IN ADVANCE OF 1917 LINE
 On the western outskirts of the Bas- tion of St. Gobain, defending Laon. the French already at Barisis are in advance of the line occupied in 1917 and further south below the main bastion. are stand ing on ground which had not been in allied hands since 1914. Farther north they are before LaFere, whence an east ward drive would carry them north of the St. Gobain massif.
