With the American Army on the Aisne Front, Sept The attempt or the Germans to .e,ain their fOothold on the south side of the Aisne canal in a wood 10 the west Of Nillers-en- Prayeres was nullified by a small but brilliant operation early this morning. The dense little wood had been packed with machine guns under cover of the German guns.
 The only break in the American line along the canal was at that place. The task Of cleaning 1t out began at four in the morning and was completed be- fore ten There was no opportunity to take prisoners. but the toll of Ger man dead was great as compared with the magnitude of the engagement.
 The general line held by the Amer jeans has not changed From one place the Americans brought in 56 prisoners, members of one of the guard divisions Among them were two officers, one of whom is Lieutenant Gaspar Alyers leben. whose father is reputed to be one of the emperors advisers It was this lieutenant who commanded the detachment that recently compelled a small American force to eyacuatc Els cite. 1t was the organization to which that force belonged that cap tured him.
 The capture Of ahe wood near the ca nal was accomplished after intensive artillery preparation and in the face of a smothering machine gun and ar tillery fire. The Americans crept close in during the darkness and rushed the woods about five o'clock From the woods enough machine gun nests were left to give a sharp greet ing. but the real line of bursts was from beyond the canal. But this was met with a strong American counter fire. The raising of a smoke screen north of the Aisne early ill the day gave rise to the presumption that pos sibly the Germans were moving back This was dispelled by later develop ments. although it would not surprise any one ii they withdrew shortly.
 From one prisoner comes an eX- nlanation of why lieutenants lately have been found commanding com panies. He said orders had been is sued that because of the scarcity o officers. companies in the future should be commanded by lieutenants battalions by captains, and regiment, by majors

KITCHEN EXPLAINS
 WAR REVENUE BILL
WOULD cur $1,25o,. ooo, ,0oo OFF WHICH WILL HAVE
 TO BE MADE UP

Washington, Sept. 7 Explanation of the history making revenue bill, which imposes more than eigha bil- lions in taxes on the American people and authorizes twice that amount in liberty bonds for next year. was con Icluded in the house today by Chairman
 Kitchin of the ways and means com
 mittee. Mir Kitchin started speaking yesterday. His address Is the longest ever delivered in the house. Probable effect of prohibition legis-
 lation on the nations revenues was frankly discussed by MT. Kitchin in IeXplaining the beverage section of the war tax measure. He also took up the war and excess profits features as well las those affecting corporations and luXuries.
 Future upward revision of taxes, Mir i Kitchn stated, must be met under conditions existing after the prohibi- ton legislation is passed and If 1t is | necessary to find new tax, several hundred million can be obtained by tariff increases. gross sales and con
 sumption taxes.
 ! MT. Kitchin declared that corpora tions are mot hia hard" by the bill, which, he asserted, is satisfactory as a whole to Secretary McAdoo ,l Banks, he said, must bear the brunt . of government financing and for this reason a stamp tax on bank cheeks ,discouraeing deposits was not intro , lduced.
 N The automobile taxes, he thought 3 l'were rather hieh.' But the auto l mobile owner can pay it, he said, add D ing however, that the proposed sys l tenn of imposing automobile licens,
 ltax by horsepower measurements wa. lunjust in some respect
 ! In dicussing the luxury schedule | Mir. Kitchin called attention to the lsection imposing a tax upon shirts IcOsting more than S3 each. He said any man paying more than that sum for shirt during the war should be taxed, adding that he himself had Inever worn a shirt costing more than Isl.50.
 l General debate on the bill will con tinue next week. Leaders believe now
 that minor committee revisions, pos Isibly of the liquor taxes because of
 pending prohibition legislation and
 dehatc will prevent a final vote be-
 fore September r or IS.
 In his address today Mir. Kitchin
 said the bill should be enacted by both
 houses Of congress by November 1 If national prohibition is enacted new
 tax sources will have to be found to
 replace the sL250000,O00 estimated
 tax on alcoholic beverages provided
 for in the present measure. ne said. l Such legislation MT Kitchin said

CHICAGO MAKES FRANTIC
 EFFORT TO WIN IN NINTH
Mays Done the Twiring for the Red Sox and Had an Assortment Of Renders That Could Not Be Solved By the Cub eatsmen--PIay in Hos. ton Monday.

Chicago, Sept 7.--Boston concen- trated its energies in the fourth in- ming of today's game for the worlds series and squeezed in two runs
 which was just enough to annex tho game, to 1, the third of tho contest from the Chicago Nationals.
 Chicago's lone tally came in the fifth inning and was largely a funk. cut Mitchelrs men never quit trying and in their half of the ninth started a desperate rally which might have tied the score and run the game into extra innings, had not Pick in a frantic effort to cross the plate thrown the chance away by reckless base running.
 Hippo Vaughn erected to come back in an attempt to retrieve the honorable defeat administered to him in the first game of the series. Ha pitched splendid ball save for the fatal fourth. Hooper, the first man to face the big Chicago left handler. gave an intimation of what the final re- suit would be by pulling twisting single back of third base but notllfn.s came, of it in that inning.
 Mays, with his so-called submarine or U-boat delivery, was the main ob- stacle in the way of Cub victory. Mays throws an old fashioned under hand ball with windup which doubles him in such a pbsition that the initiated might think him hunt ing for fishworms He had a variety oI bait for the Chicago batters, slow ones that floated up to the plate like puff balls in fog, varied with fast one with dart and jump like pat ent bass bait, and the Cub sluggers bit freely at all he offered.
 In the fatal. or festive fourth. ac- cording to which team the fan per- fers, Whiteman, veteran of many hard contest, and who has figured In the run getting for Boston in every game of this series, got himself in front of one "of Vaughn's hooks and
 travelled free to first, He tarried moment on second when McInniss ! singled and scored when Schang pol ! ed one of Vaughn's offerings safely. Melnniss advancing to third Scott | dumped a bounder in front of tho
 plate and Vaughn fumbled 1t long I enough so that McInniss flashed
 across the plate with the winning run | and Scott was safe at first, credited i with hit.
 | Thomas singled to right and it look T ed like more trouble for the Cubs, but 1 Flack made one of his choice bullet throws and Schang, trying to score | from second was out at the plate f Mays ended the jubilee by fly to | center
 Pick was the player to profit by
 the funk in the Chicago half of the fifth. His gentle tap went toward
 Scott with frolicsome bounds like rup seeking it's master, but at the ! crucial moment decided to butt Scott on the leg and went roofing to out ] field for a double. Deal flied out but Killifer delivered an honest hit to Il left and Pick scored.
 The highly partisan crowd stood up ! to man and yelled for a winning j rally when Chicago came to bat in , the ninth and almost got what they , asked for. Paskert and .Merkle ex- l pired ingloriously on infield plays
 but Pick slammed grounder at Shean and beat the throw by a hair

WAR CUT PRODUCTION OF REELS
 AND GAVE AUTHORS NEW FIELD

of war, and the following two months. Evidently at that time the producers were uncertain as to what the effect of the war would be upon the demand for motion picture entertainments. Since July, the production has fol- lowed the general trend of that of the previous year, the numbers released, however, being somewhat smaller, with an upward tendency in Deccm- Der. The demand for sinele-reel pie lures has greatly fallen off in the course of the veal. The feature pie ture, usually five reels in length, is taxing the place Of the one-reeler. ''he general tendency in this respect IS indicated by the fact that the av- craze length of pictures in 1915 was 1.75; in 1916, 2.23; and in 1917. 2.77 reels. In December the average length was BPS reels as compared with 2.2S for the corresponding month of 1916.
 Tn tho second place, the year was marked by the large number of sub jects produced relating 10 the war These were photoplays with a war twist, European war pictures and propaganda for various war measures, such as the stimulation of enlistments,
 
 campaigns for funds and memberships and the conservation of food. The government has taken a, marked inter est in motion pictures, not only in these respects, but as a means of en- tertainment for soldiers and sailors in the training camps, on board ship, and at the front in France. The Am erican Cinema Commission was ap- pointed to carry the propaganda of demo ocracy to Europe by means of mo- tion pictures aS a. means of DreServ- ing the civil and military morale. The great value of the motion picture as a medium of expression of opinion has therefore been clearly demonstrated. Many successful books and plays have been used as the basis of scenarios for phOtoplayS. The action of the National Board of Review in climin- ating the nude from motion pictures and refusing to pass white slave pc lures of the commercialized type, has affected the character of the pictures made. This action followed an cX- DresSion of opinion secured by means of a questionnaire Scnt to exhibitors and others in all parts of the country and evidently represented public opln- ion in every part Of the country.
 A Study oI noC'ol p.cIuISS Liolh t!.e moral point of view was carried on in Great Britain by Cinema Com mission headed by the Bishop of Win chester. The results of ths inquiry indicated that the photoplays as rule proved to those who patrOnized them to be educative, morally healthful and pleasure giving and instrumental m reducing intemperance. The commlS- sion also found that in England little juvenile delinquency was traceable to motion nfctures despite the fact that since the war began this class Of de-

lirquency has been on the increase. 1t expressed the opinion that motion pie ture theaters were a much better place for young people than the street. This report IS of interest because the United States is now entering a war and may look for social conditions in large cities somewhat similar to those pro- duced in the large cities of England.
 'The attitude of the general pubic toward .egalized censorship Of motion pictures may be indicated by the fact that last year, although bills were m troduced in more than twenty-five state legislatures, in not one ot them did a bill reach the statute DOCKS. oW- ing to the higher average ot the qual- ity of motion pictures now beng made this year there should be little dlscuS- sion of the regulation of this form Of peoples amusement by speclal state hOardS"
