In addition to the telephone and
telegraph, the wireless apparatus had
been set up, carrier pigeons were
ready to be taken to the front as an
other means of communication, cour-

coming as If upon their speed rested
the outcome of the war, and maps

Each Of the commanders assistants
had his room and his collapsible desk

portable desks and cases full of pa

beds had been made. and, in the yard

HOUSE ADOPTS
REVENUE BILL
PLANANDRATE
No Amendments Attached
Discussion on Legislation
Lasts Less than Hour.


Washington, Sept. 1S.-With less
than an hours discussion and with
out amendment the house today
adopted the general plan and rates In
the war revenue bill for taxation OF
war and excess tax profits, estimated
to yield $4,000, O00,O 900 in revnue.
The war profits plan provides,
broadly, for a levy of 80 per cent on
corporate profits exceeding ten per
cent on invested capital, plus a flat
exemption Of $4,000 over profits of a.
rates ranging from 35 to 70 per cent
on capital over exemptions of fifteen
to twenty per cent, are virtually lou
BILE those now in force.
Representative Madden Of Illinois
and Representative Stafford of Wis
consin led a fight against the alterna-
tive tax plan, declaring it's discrim-
mated against new corporations or
gained during the pre-war period
and in favor of old established con-
Germs whose profits during the war
have not greatly increased.
Admitting that Secretary McAdoo
and many other economists had urged
the straight war profits method and
opposed the committees increase of
excess profits rates, Chairman Kitchin
declared that if the excess profits plan
were not in effect thousands Of rich
corporations whose profits since the
war have not greatly increased would
not pay a penny of war profits. The
discrimination against those taxed by
the war profits plan he said, would be
greater if the committee had not in
creased the xcess profits rates. The
Ford Motor company was cited as an
example,. Representative Kitchin
said the conmittee was informed the
Ford concerns profits were so per
cent, during the pre-war period and
the same since the war, its capital
having been retently doubled.
With little discussion the estate or
Inheritance, tax rates, graduated and
ranging from three per cent on $780,
900 estates to forty per cent on those
exceeding $%10,0O0,00O were adopted,
From this source the bill is designed
to raise $500 1000 next year and
$110,o00,0 900 by 1920 as compared
with $75,000,0 900 from existing rates
which range from 2 to 25 per cent.

McAdoo Tells Men to Ask
Exemptions; Motor Truck
Service Men Included.

Washington. Sept. 1S.-All railroad
employees in the classes declared by
the railroad administration, essential
to proper operations, were instructed
today by Director General McAdoo to
claim deferred draft classification as
a patriotic duty n to furnish the
district board with the necessary in
formation in their to the
questionnaires to show the basis for
such classification.
Explaining the reasons for asking
the exemptions, Mr.. McAdoo declared
Their is no surplus whatever Of en-
ployes for running railroads and there
is no surplus supply of labor from
which new employees a be drawn to
replace those who 4 be taken for
the military SERVICE"
For this reason the drafting of ':any
competent railroad employee" from an
indispensable branch Of the railroad
service by many draft boards would
in the aggregate constitute a cumula-
tive and far-reachins injury, to the
United States Railroad Administration
and would destroy the purpose for
which the government took possession
or control of the railroads."
w are striving for the same end"
continued Mr.. McAdoo., land that is
to win the war. To the extent that
railroad men can be spared from rail-
road service for military service we
ought to spare them. But to the ex-
tent that they are needed for railroad
service the district boards should not

pcpsia Tablets.

Most of us eat three times a day and
often forget that each meal should be
disposed of In the stomach to make
room for the next. The failure of
the stomach to do this is called in
digestion or dyspepsia, with its sour
risings, gas, rumblings, pain, depres-
sion and the feeling Of STIFFNESS when
breathing is difficult.
The most effective remedy and the
most reliable one, because you can
get it at any drug store in the United
States or Canada, is Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, at SO cents a box. In
stead Of depriving yourself Of food or
going on a starvation diet simply keep
on as you have and let these tablets
s%traighten out your stomach, digest
the food and keep you in the fight.

''All the German forces on the south
bank of the Marine are in danger of be-

the Americans on the Marine late Mon
day night. Fifteen hundred prisoners
are in American hands. American
artillery has shot the pontOons TO
pieces ON which the Germans had
crossed the river, and many thousands
of the kaiser's picked troops seem
trapped"
A strong American counter attack
south of the river bend completely up
set the Germans, who broke in retreat.
The American troops drove the enemy
back all the way to the railway skirt

of Jaulgonne. This position now is

river assisted materially in breaking up
the early boche plans, for they stuck
TO their posts and poured deadly
streams of bullets into the enemy, and
only withdrew when their guns were
so hot they could not be fired. One
group of machine gunners happened to
be in place where the Germans were
anxious to erect bridge, but their
efforts were fruitless. The American
bullets piled up the German dead on
the opposite side of the river every
time the enemy started to cross.
South of Jaulgonne the enemy cross
ed the Marine on six pOntOon bridges
hurriedly thrown over the stream and
masses of infantry swarmed forward.
The artillery constantly had the
bridges under the heaviest fire and at
least two direct hits were made, two
of the bridges being blown up.
Along one extended sector of the
Marine front, the Americans were in
the open ground. The Germans were
ON the opposite bank, shOwering high
explosives and gas shell upon them.
But the boys from the United States
went forward with gas masks, crawl
ing at times on all fours.
When they came close enough to
come to grips they drove the enemy
back quickly,
A correspondent talked with some
American soldiers now in the hospital,
who were In the thick of the fighting.
They were in complete agreement that
the German infantry was no match for
the American.
This is evidenced by the reports
from all the American hospitals, there
being only few cases of wounds from
rifle and machine gun fire, while most
of the men are suffering from shrapnel
wounds. Some of these are serious.
