CARRY OUT THREE RAIDS.

Sunday, Mar. 10.-(By The Associated

three large raids opposite the Ameri.

raids were executed simultaneously
last night. The Americans swept past

the German first lines, and pene'

The two simultaneous raids, one
northwest and one northeast Of X X

artillery preparation lasting for four
hours, in which the German positions
were leveled. At midnight, two for

small forces on their flanks, moved
on the German objective, behind, a
creeping barrage, each aon a front Of
600 yards. When the Americans
reached the enemy first lines, the bar
rage was lifted so as to box in the
German positions at both points.
Germans Fled. !. ~
The men dropped into the enemy
trenches, expecting a hand; ;tO-hand
fight but found the Germans had fled.
Continuing their advance, / they went
forward 600 yards to the second Ger
man lines: All the time, the Ameri.
can machine guns were firing on each
flank OF the two parties Ito prevent
the enemy from undertaking thanking
operations. One French thanking party
found two Germans wounded in a dug
out and took them prisoners. The
Americans found none. ., a,....s5
The Americans remained for As min
utes In the enemy lines. They found
excellent concrete dugouts which they
blew up. and also brought back large
quantities of material and valuable
papers. While they were in the en-
emy lines, German artillery began a
vigorous counter barrage. 1t was
quickly silenced by American heavy
and light artillery which hurled large

WASHINGTON. Sept. 24-The Senate
to the serious business OF revising the
Kitchin revenue bill as it came from
the House. The committee began with
the reading of the first section OF the
bill devoted TO the income tax and
then started a piecemeal dissection.
II will be the programme OF the COM
mittee to go through the bill section
by section interchanging views and
making changes in proper order until
some snas is struck. Then the COM
lions until the first preliminary re-
vision is IN shape, going back to the
distractions one at time until the
whole revision is finished and the bill
ready for introduction.
The piecemeal discussion to-day re-
suited in the ratification of the intro
ductory paragraphs of the income tax
section, but the question of inventories
stopped the discussion late in the at
ternoon.
The Finance Committee u OF the
opinion that the material increase In
the gross levy of the revenue bill will
not be necessary. Before the receipt
by the House Committee on Appro-
priations of the new $s.000,000,0o0 OF
estimates from the War Department
! some members OF the Finance Commit
| tee were disposed to favor pruning the
| bill to a point considerably below S.
! 100000 OF revenue productivity
| They are swinging around nov to the
view that pruning will not do aitht ugh
| they are satisfied that the $4,000. 000,t fO
| will suffice.
! In other words, in drafting ths
| bill the Finance Committee appears
to be inclined to follow the lines origi-
| nally set by the Secretary OF the Treas
| ury as to amounts.
Plain sailing through the income tar
provisions OF the measure is predicted

FIXING TERMS FOR
WIRE LINE LEASES
BurlesOn and Experts Discuss
Compensation, but No De-
cisiOn Is Reached.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.--The compen-
satlon agreement to be signed between
Postmaster-General Burleson and the
telephone and telegraph companies Of
the country which are under Government
control has been completed except for a
few details. The agreement in it's final
form will be ready for signature in a
few days
The agreement follows closely in out
line and detail, particularly with respect
TO the releasing and claim clauses. the
railroad rental agreement recently ap-
proved by Director-General McAdoo and
the railroad executive advisory COM
mittee.
Compensation will be based on a
period of pre-war earnings, as was the
case with the railroads. The compensa-
ton period probably will not be the
same. This was the subject of a long
conference this afternoon between Post
master-General Burleson and his ad-
visers on the telegraph and telephone
committee. including First Assistant
Postmaster-GeneralK Rooms. Solicitor La
mar and David ]. Lewis Of Maryland.
No final agreement was reached on
the period. its length and the dates. 1t
will most likely cover three years. how
ever. 1919. 1914 and 1915. or possibly
1914 to 1916. The first period would
cover approximately n year and half
before the war started and a year and a
half after the war started
The period has been discussed with
officials of the three big wire companies
as we'll as with many OF the small indie
pendent concerns The independents are
understood to desire the later years as
the most prosperous.
The general Technology Of the agree
ment and the specific clausSs have been
practically agreed on and Are in shap
for printing. and officials are hopeful OF
! having the entire agreement to announce
by Saturday. The Post Office Depart

Several committees OF experts are

One has only to contrast the two periods
to realize the splendor OF our achieve
ments. In the civil war rich men hired
substitutes to fight for them at the
front and stayed at home to make
money out Of war activities. In this
war a draft law Of impartial and uni
versal application throughout the coun-
try has been passed and no substitutes
are allowed. Wealth and poverty are
levelled to precisely the same plane. Tho
rich man fights beside the poor man in
The ranks and the burden of taxation. al
though borne by all the people and dis
tributed widely, Is imposed more heav-
lily upon those most able to carry the
keep the pressure high. Now that we
have the Kaiser and his brutal hordes
on the run let us not relax effort but
intensity effort. Keep hitting hard and
smashing harder. That IL the way to
win surely and quickly. That is the
way to cross the Rhine that Is the way
to open an American parade on Inter
den Linden.
I'VE must maintain steadfastly the
standards we have already set and sur
pass those standards whenever II Ia
necessary to do so. BY self-abnegation
and sacrifice we must match, as far as
We possibly may, the deeds Of our sons
upon, the field OF battle and thereby
contribute to the victory which we are
determined to obtain regardless OF the
time required or the price paid. either
in blood or in treasure, because with
out that Victory there Is neither security
for the world nor hope for the future.
"One cannot fail to do his duty in
this supreme time and expect to save
his soul in the eternity before us. No
man can shirk his duty without in
curing the just apprehension of public
opinion. The acid test will be applied
and the shirker, whether from military
service or in the field of labor or in
the ranks of the wealthy, will be unable
to withstand the finger of scorn which
will be unerringly pointed at him. We
must rise to the sublimest heights of
patriotism. of sacrifice. OF devotion. of
| love Of country. II we would not deserve
to be cast into the depths of defeat
and oblivion.
