CAN WIN WAR
Letter From British War Minister
Is Optimistic.
Lord Miner Urges Every Nation to
Continue Doing Its Utmost
for the Cause.

London, Sept. IL. - Lord Miner,
British minister of war, urges the me-
cessity OF continuing rushing Amer
lean troops to France. In reply to an
inquiry he wrote the following letter
to a correspondent:
you tell me that in certain circles
in the United States the view is cur
rent that our recent successes on the
West front have made the necessity
less urgent of hurrying W. American
troops to France and that Americas
splendid war effort can now proceed
at a more leisurely pace.
Il quite understand how this view
may be held, but ! profoundly dis
agree with it. 1t seems to me that, on
the contrary, the morale of u recent
successes is just the opposite.
THE remarkable achievement of the
Allies since July Is is Of first impor-
lance, for 1t shows that we can win the
was; but most assuredly we will not
win the war IL we get the idea that
we can afford to slacken our effort.
"This applies to every Allied nation.
1t is the duty of the European Allies
to abate nothing of their energy and
to act, indeed, as IL America were
not behind them.
Americas strengthened az 1t Is
can only be relied on to bring about
q decision If 1t is added to the forces
Of the European Allies, and not sub.
stituted for them"

FOE FIGHTS DRAvELY
Is Preceded by Heavy Artillery
Preparation-Foe Contests
Every Foot of Ground.

With the American Army on the
Aisne Front, Sept. 11.-American in
fantry, in the face of the %stiffest ma
chine gun fire since they crossed the
Vesle in force, advanced at certain
points on a curved line from Glennes
to Vieil-Arcy. The attack was pre-
ceded by a heavy artillery lombard
ment.
From the plateau the Americans
took up positions in the ravines which
drain northward, but the advance was
necessarily cautious, owing to the
commanding position of La Petite
Montague, which is the highest point
In that region.
The American and French artillery
bombarded this mountain, where the
Germans had built strong emplace-
ments for heavy machine guns and
also kept up a continuous fire upon
all points where the German artillery
had been e~ndeavoring to hold back the
advancing infantry.
The principal resistance with which
the Americans had to contend came
from the region of La Petite Mon
tagne, northeast Of Revillon, where
observers reported there were from
80 to 40 machine gun nests ~entrenched
on the summit OF the hill. On the other
hills to the south of the Aisne the
German machine gunners had taken
the positions, and with snipers at var.
ious points caused some annoyance.
Yanks Advance in Groups.
The Germans threw shells into
Fismes. Bazochese, Blanzy and other
places i'm an effort to check the Allied
troop movement.
There was a strong direct and indi.
rect fire from La Petite Montague.
The machine gunners blazed away,
but the American attachments made
Roadway at intervals by keeping under

ing to go ahead in large numbers.
American officers say indications
are that the Germans intend to cling
to every foot of ground south of the
Aisne as long as possible, using ma.
chine guns until the gunners are blast
ed from the positions.

American Headquarters Between the

French and American troops have
evidently reached a line beyond which
the enemy considers they annot BIZ

d~efenses, and he has thrown himself
against this new line with an energy
which discloses the arrival of fresl
troops.
They are also beginning to reveal al
abundance of artillery of all calibers

Republicans in House Criticise
Measure as UnduIy
Excessive.
TOUCHES OF POLITICS
Principal Complaints Are Inequalities
In Levying Taxes and Charges
of Waste In Govern
ment Expenditures.

Washington, April IL. - The war
revenue bill came in for general Re-
publican criticism during the debate
in the House.
Inequalities and Inconsistencies in
levying taxes, characterized as un-
necessarily high, and charges of waste
In government expenditures, were the
principal complaints made in prepared
speeches by Representative Fordney
of Michigan and Moore of Pennsyl-
vania, ranking Republican members
of the Ways and Means committee.
Both, however, promised to vote for
the bill in nonpartisan furtherance of
American success in the war, despite
their criticisms.
committee on the bill were confined
to objections to minor provisions.
Charge Excessive Taxation.
Excessive taxation and a failure to
raise tariff rates were emphasized by
Representative Fordney. who said the
bill proposed to secure As per cent of
this years actual expenditures ($1S,-
600, 000, 900 exclusive of Allied loans)
by taxation. AS alleged extravagance
In expenditures, Mr.. Fordney cited
government contracts, some, he said,
netting profits up TO 1000 per cent.
There were touches of politics in
discussion. While p~artisanship had
not entered into framing the bill, Rep.
resentatiye Fordney charged that
president Wilson alone has shown
partisan politics" and Mr.. Moore de-
clared that the Republican minority
was helpless in framing the bill and
II control would not have brought
forth the measure as IL stands.
Urge creeI BE clicked Out"
Among instances of alleged waste
Of government money, Representative
Fordney included certain publications
Issued by Chairman Creel of the com
mittee on public information, who, he
said, should be kicked out" Repre-
sentative Moore called attention TO the
aircraft expenditures, and cost plus"
contracts covering contractors taxes.
Urging an investigation Of govern
ment contracts which include taxes
on contractors expenses, Representa-
tive Madden of Illinois declared they
"are an outrage and the sooner in
vestigated the better"

CHIEF WILL ACT
Or. Garfield Intends to Fix Price
of Gasoline.
Lower Rate Is Expected to Govern.
ment, Allies and the General
Public.

Washington, Sept. IL. - DIR. Gar
field, fuel administrator, announced
that he expects soon to fix a price for
gasoline for domestic consumers, as
well as the government and the Allies,
at a figure lower than the present mar.
ket price. He is awaiting further re-
ports on the situation before taking
definite action.
No intimation was made as to what
the fixed price would be.
DR.. Garield's announcement dis
closed that for some time considera-
ton had been given the problem Of
bringing the price of gasoline to q
lower level. Several reports already
have been made to Mark l.. Requa,
director of the oil division of the fuel
administration, and 1t was the intima-
ton that on completion of the investi-
cation now being conducted, immedi-
ate action would be taken.
Disclosure of DIR. Garfield's purpose
came during an informal talk with
newspaper correspondents, in which
the stocks of gasoline in the country
and the stated shortage east of the
Mississippi river, which caused the
administration to request that no pas.
senger automobiles be operated on
Sundays in that section were dis
cussed.
DIR. Garfield would not discuss re
quests that this request was based on
information furnished the administra'
ton by the oil industry for the alleged
purpose of maintaining the present
price of gasoline In the face Of a TO
parted large suppIy In the country.

John Shelton Williams is expected to

veloped to such magnitude and calls
for such attention by the director gen.
eral that 1t is deemed more than any
mar can do adequately to fill both
great Offices.

PITCHED BATTLE IMPENDING
Greatest Fight of War Believed Not
Far Distant.

Paris, Sept. 11r-Once again the Al
lies stand face to face with the Ger
mans on almost the identical lines
where they stood throughout the win
ter.
The British, French and Americans
are making their last adjustments in
front of the Hindenburg line. The
British A~rmentieres, Lens,
Douai and Cambria, while the French
threaten st. Quentin, La Fere. st. Co.
balm and Laon. Will the Allies keep
up their drive, and will the Germans
attempt to hold their present posi-
tons? The next so days must tell the
tale. After that, General Winter takes
charge of operations.
Foch continues in his role Of human
enigma. The only hint of his inten-
tons was when he said the offensive
would not stop short of victory.
Hindenburg announces the retreat Is
at an end. This obviously means he
intends to stick" It would not be
surprising IL the Germans attempted
some sort of foriorn hope, especially
as they know the Allies next spring
will smother them with men, airplanes,
tanks, guns, shells, gas and materials.
