TO SEEK INCOME REPORTS
All Are To Be Required To Make
Returns.

Washington, Aug. pa billion dol
lar drive on income and excess profit
tax slackers will be asked in the new
revenue bill.
To prevent future tax dodgers, Sec.
retary of the Treasury w. G. McAdoo
has asked congress for authority to
force every person in the country to
make an income tax return whether
or not he is liable to the tax.
These two moves were revealed in
a statement by Internal Revenue Col
lector Daniel c. Roper before the
house ways and means committee.
Roper told the committee that IL he
was given $10,000,000 to hire account
ants he could collect $1,000, 100000 un
paid 1916 and 1917 taxes.
The committee authorized the appro
priation.

Provide Ample Military Supplies
for Czechs and Loyal
Russians.
PLANS PROVE SUCCESS
Assistance to Enemies of Bolshevik
Regime in Siberia VIII Reach
Them in Time to Thwart
Te0ton Efforts.

Washington, Aug. %. - Assistance
being sent to the Czecho-Slovaks in
the Baikal region of Siberia will reach
them in time to thwart the efforts OF
the Austro-German prisoners and the
Bolsheviki against whom they are
fighting according to information
reaching Washington.
1t was learned that the Allies are
sending large quantities Sf arms and
ammunition to the Czechs and that
heavy artillery is included in the sup
plies. 1t is not permitted, for military
reasons, to disclose from what source
these supplies are being sent but a
high official in the State department
said this was part of the bigger pro-
gram now being worked out in prac-
tical way to furnish the necessary aid.
Rapid Progress Is Made.
The program to re-establish the East
ern front with the aid of the hun
dreds of thousands of loyal Russians
is progressing far more rapidly than
was expected at first. The Trans.
Siberian railway will play an import.
ant part in the establishment of this
this line
That Germany appreciates the i'm
portance of the part that this line is
to play is shown in a dispatch printed
in an Essen newspaper and reported
from Amsterdam to the effect that
Soviet troops had blown up he Baikal
tunnel. 1t was pointed out by officials
familiar with this railroad that there
are no less than 33 Baikal tunnels, all
of them hewn out of solid rock, so that
any attempts to blow up one of them
would simply delay transportation fol
short time until debris could be
cleared away.
Poland will be ready to join in the
re-establishment of the Eastern battle
front, when the influence of the Allied
penetration becomes strong enough fol-
her to throw off the Austro-Germar
yoke, authoritative diplomatic advices
indicate.

British Assault Made In Mist at
Dawn With Brief Artillery Prep
aration-French Dominate
Noyon and Railway.

London, Aug. %. - British forces
struck the Germans over a front of
approximately 10 miles on the line
southwest of Arras at dawn.
According to meager details re-
ceived from the scene of the new as
sault, the British under General Byng
have advanced from two to three miles
and have captured the towns of Moy-
enneville, Courcelles, Achietle, Petit
and Beaucourt sur Ancre and have
reached the town of Achiet lie Grand.
The, assault was begun under cover
of a mist which materially assisted
the British in their advance. There
was a very brief artillery preparation,
and it would appear that the plan of
attack was similar to that followed
south of the Aisne July IS, and north
Of Montdidier Aug. s. A large number
of tanks participated in the attack.
British Approach Bapaume.
Unofficial dispatches appear to indi-
cate that the British advance has car.
ried the battle line up to point three
miles from Bapaume, an important
highway center and a place reputed
to be an important German base in the
northern Picardy sector.
If the British drive continues to
press the Germans back along the
northern side of the Picardy salient
the enemy forces further south would
appear to be in a serious position.
