SOUTH AMERICANS
APPROVE war AIMS
(Bv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Sir Mau-
rice Bunsen, head of the special Brit
ish war mission which has just return
ed from tour of all South American
countries, is satisfied that the South
Americans now have clearer under
standing than before of the allied war
aims and haze seen the necessity of
measures restricting commerce which
at the outset, had seemed to bear
harshly upon them.
The mission, it was said today, was
received everywhere with gratifying
cordiality and listened to with the
greatest interest
What is calculated to be disagree
able incident growing out of fear on
the part of Peru that Great Britain
was supplying the Chilean government
with war materials, which the latter
might use in an attack upon Peru,
was adjusted by the mission when it
reached Lima. There, 1t was shown
to the satisfaction of the Peruvians
that while Chile had obtained a few
submarines and airplanes, these did
not begin to compensate for naval
vessels which Great Britain had COM
mandeerd while under construction
In British shipyards for Chile

BOSTON FANS SEE
ANOTHER VICTORY

CHICAGO, Sept 6-Despite the re-
turn of good baseball weather today
the crowd for the second game of the
world series between the Boston Red
Socks and Chicago Cubs was almost
as slow in assembling as yesterday.
Half an hour before game time the in
creased attendance was visible in
only a few sections of the bleachers
and stands.
The Boston men bubbled with good
nature as they went through their
practice stunts, jigging when the
band played rag-time, jostling their
opponents and otherwise showing their
confidence of being able to repeat yes
terday's victory. The national lea que
champions had their heads up and
showed determination in their pre-
liminary batting and fielding.
The umpires today sacheted to the
left from yesterdays formation, the
movement placing Hildebrand at the
plate, Klein at first base, Owen at Sec
ond and O'Day at third.

HOUSE TAKES
UP GREATEST
REVENUE BILL
EVER FORMED
Bill Three Months in Making
Presented to Congress by
Kitchin-Carries Total of
$8,OOO,OOO,0O
EXPECT WEEKS DEBATE
(By Nssocisled Presa.l

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The house
today began consideration of the great
est revenue bill ever presented to the
American congress.
Three months in the making. and
carrying a total of $s,000,o ,ooo, 900, it
was offered by Chairman K!tchin OF
the ways and means committee as pro-
viding the speediest method of provid-
ing funds for successful prosecution Of
the war
Mr.. Kitchin expected to take the en-
tire day in explaining the various feat
ures of the bill and in answering ques-
tions and objections Of members, some
of whom, in both parties reserved the
right to vote independently after Civ
ing 1t a favorable report in committee
The senate finance committee at the
same time began hearings.
Object to Amendments.
Representative Fordney of Michigan,
ranking republican member of the
ways and means committee, does not
cause Of the war and will offer no
amendments, but in speech answer
ing Mr.. Kitchin. to morrow. perhaps,
he will differ with the majority on a
number of amendments and call at
tention to the failure to provide to
raise any of the war revenue by tariff
legislation.
All the republican members. accord
ing to Representative Moore of Penn
sylvania. will support an amendment
to be offered by him providing for a
tax of SO bale on cotton
BY limiting debate, house leaders
hoped to vote on the bill by the end
of next week. althougs the opinion
was expressed by many that as the
senate might attempt to re-write it.
1t would not become law until after
the November election.
Dry Bill Up Again.
Debate on the emergency agricul-
tural appropriation bill, with its war
time prohibition order, was resumer
in the senate today. Passage of the
measure had been expected since Mon
day but this action was delay ed by
consideration of amendments relat-
ing to stimulation of crop production
and a discussion of other matters. as
was the case yesterday when much
time was consumed in attacking and
defending the report of the federal
trade commission dealing with con-
troll packing industry.
An amendment to the prohibition
bill establishing dry zones around
shipyards, coal mines and war plants
was adopted separately to prevent fur
ther delay in passing the war time
prohibition measure, and to give the
president immediate power to estab-
lish these zones. Under the provisions
of the general measure, the sale of
liquors is to cease July ] next. until
American forces now at war have been
mustered out

CROWDER URGES
EXEMPTION OF
NEEDED WORKERS
Employers and Dependents
Requested to File Claims for
New Selects.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-Because
many men of the new draft ages are
expected to refuse to claim exemption
from military service regardless of
the need for them at home, the pro-
vost marshal generals office today
suggested that employers or interested
dependents should not fail to file for
NAL claims in such cases.
1t is pointed out that the form of
the QUESTIONABLE purposely leaves
the exemption claim open to be filed
by others than the registrant himself.
General Crowder's staff feels that
failure to present legitimate exemption
claim for sentimental reasons will al
most certainly work ha rd ships and in
justices especially since the local
boards now are being asked to conduct
classifications at top speed. General
failure to have such claims filed it is
said. also will serve to slow up the
work
Secretary Baker has ordered the
chief Of each bureau in the war de-
partment to replace by Dec. 81, all
men within the draft ages who would
be classified in class l now assigned
to duty in Washington or in war de-
partment branches elsewhere with
men physically disqualified for gen.
eral military service.

Wayne County is in the lime light
in connection with the Fourth Liberty

pletely organized and that the county
expects to reach its quota of approx
imately 100000 in three days-Sep-
tember 25, 26, and 27.
The Indiana Liberty Loan organiza-
ton today sent out publicity matter
to every newspaper and to every Lib
erty Loan chairman in Indiana, re-
citing the work done by Wayne county
in perfectig an organization that ex-
poets to put over the Liberty Loan
quota in three days, and to announce
the result on September 2S, the day
that other counties in the State will
just be getting to work.
Wayne county has been given a big
boost, in a publicity way, as a result
of this announcement, and in the
event the county drive is successful,
the county will gain more publicity
than it has ever had in the war work
program.
1t is up to the people of Wayne
county to make good" members OF
the county said today The resources

nature but forced almost to the extent
of fight. The Americans have ad-
vanced and occupy the heights on the
south of the Aisne, the river below
furnishing the Germans protection for
the moment in organizing their re-
treat.
French forces of General Mangin's
army have crossed the river east of

the fall of which is imminent. From
Ham. the Germans are believed to be
utilizing the main roads to st. Quentin
and La Fere with the object Of falling
back on the old Hindenburg defense
line, between those cities.
German rear guards have been driv-
en- back on the old Hindenburg de-
fense line, between those cities.
German rear guards have been
engaged between Athies and Mural,
and also about Mosuvres and Neuville-
Bourjouval Between Givenchy and
Neuve Chapelle, the British have re-
gained all of the ground taken from
them by the German last April Fur
ther north on the Lys front the Brit
ish have pushed their lines forward
south and southeast of Nieppe and
northeast of Wulverghem.
Make Stand East Of Rheims.
Germans under continued pressure by
the Americans who have extended
their front east of the Aisne and by
the French in the same section, has
been further increased up to Rheims.
East Of Rheims, however, the Germans
apparently have decided to make a
stand.
Important as have been the British
gains in the north, the French and
Americans have now cleared the river
Vesle of the enemy and advanced to
positions Of commanding nature
with every prospect OF driving the
Germans back upon the old Hinden-
burg line, beyound the Chemin-Des-
Danes. CONGREGATIONS behind the
German lines and reports from the
allied aviators indicate that the Ger
mans in this sector are preparing to
retreat on as large a scale, if not
greater, than in the north.
In Lorraine, where the Americans
hold the eastern end of the battle line,
the Germans have bombarded their
position at Frapelle. No infantry at
tacks. however, have been made indi-
catiSg that no assault on the lines in
this sector were to be expected.
