The battle for the plateau north Of

divisions remaining in the German
army. The fighting between Crecy-au-

This was evidenced by the field be-
ing strewn with the dead Of the Prus-
sian Guards, where the guards had
counter-attacked five times in vain
effort to stem the tide of battle.
Each one of these efforts added
largely to the losses Of the Prussians,
In wounded as we'll as in dead, while
after each rush a score of unwounded
prisoners remained in French hands.
More than 1900 Germans were sent to

passage, was introduced In the house
by Chairman Kitchin Of the ways and

unanimous judgment Of the % mem

method of financing the war.
The bill will hit every pocketbook,
tax practically every industry and
levy upon every form of business and
occupation of the people of the United
States. 1t is the stiffest taxation bill
ever presented to the people, but its
justification is found in the necessity
of the times, the carrying on of the
war and the payment of the mounting
expenses Of the United States.

Factors which influenced the decis-
ion to prohibit the manufacture of

tion announcement said, were "the fur
fher necessity of war industries for
the whole fuel productive capacity II
The country, the considerable drouth
which has materially affected the sup
ply Of feeding stuff for next year, the
strain upon transportation to handle
necessary industries and the shortage
pf labor caused By enlargement of the
army program"
Warning also was issued TO manu-
facturers of all beverages and mineral
waters that for the same reasons Their;
will be further great curtailment" in
fuel for the manufacture of glass cor.
tanners, Of tin plate for caps, of trans
portation and of food products in such
beverages"
Action along this line, It was said,
had been expected by the brewing in

cent and a warning that they might
mot be able to continue in business.
