ward behind the German front, from
Amiens is the dividing line between
the armies of the German crown
prince in the south and the crown
prince Rupprecht's forces in the north.
IL the British and French troops sue
coed in controlling 1t for any consid.
cradle distance, Rupprechtt and the
young Hohenzollern will have their
areas of contact very dangerously
shortened, necessitating a consider
able detour for troops to move from
one sector to the other.
At the same time, a sharp pocket
will be made of the German crown
princes front between Amiens and
Montdidier, which will threaten yon
Hindenburg with the possibility of a
duplication of the Marine disaster.
Should Marshal Haig drive back the
Germans to the accomplishment of
these immediate detectives, he will
have rescued the important Amiens-
Paris railway from the menace of the
German artillery.

Cure for Profiteering.
CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Secretary Nc
Adoo favors fiat tax of eighty per-
cent on war profits to cure profiteer-
la telegram to Chairman Kitchin of
the house ways and means commit
tee, made public here today.
"The adoption of an eighty per-
cent war profits tax would render I'M
necessary and. l believe, undesirable,
any increase in the existing excess
profits tax rate" said McAdoo's tele-
gram ut is my strong conviction
that the taxation of genuine war
profits is the only way to reach real
war profteering and that 1t is at the
same time a thoroughly justifia BILE
measure upon economic grounds as
well as a certain and indispensable
producer of a large part of the re-
CURED revenue"
American producers should ke con-
tent with one-fifth of their war pro-
fits, McAdoo said, especially since
men safeguarding their liberty are
working for 1896 per year and giving
their blood in the bargain.
After a survey of Chicago's rail-
way terminal situation, McAdoo was
on his way to Washington today.

he Germans down everywhere.

the Germans down everywhere.
The French are attacking in the
region OF Moreuil. Reports received
here from that front are extremely
optimistic, stating that the Germans
are offering only slight resistance.
A bombardment Of but three min
utes preceded the British attack. The
French attack, by agreement, was
made few minutes later, the artil
lery smothering the territory south
of the Amiens-Roye road beforehand
The attack was begun in fine
weather, but rain Is now threatening
AS this is cabled all first detectives
are believed to have been taken,
Many prisoners are coming In.
Swarms of allied battle planes are
engaged in the attack A thick haze
made flying difficult In the early
hours Of the battle, but this was ad-
vantageous to the other branches of
the service, All tanks kept their
noses well up against the steel wall
of the creeping barrage. The country
is hilly, but mostly free from trees
an ideal terrain for the tanks, which
crossed the Avre without trouble and
led the infantry into battle. AS I
write this, the Franco-British troops
are still blasting their way forward
with machine guns and cannons.
Up to o'clock but few airplanes
had appeared. Among the prisoners
were wurtemburgers, Bavarians and
others from half dozen divisions,
indicating the confusion in the Ger
man lines.
Austrians Again Repulsed.
ROME, Aug. S.-Defeat of another
Austrian attempt to storm Italian po-
sitions at Cornone, was announced by
the Italian war Office today.
1.-THE enemy after brief artillery
preparation, again attempted to storm
our positions at Cornone, Tuesday"
the statement said Timely inter-
vention by our artillery and prompt
reaction by our infantry frustrated the
attack.
North of Col Del Rosso, an assault
patrol, by q successful coupe de main,
drove back the enemy from an ad-
vance post and took some prisoners
and machine gun.
I'm the Lagarina valley, the Val
,larsa and the Asiago basin, we shelled
columns of motor lorries, and also Gen.
