Drift of conversation from Brawley
has it that Jim Allen of that city
has aspirations to become the next
district attorney of Imperial county.
Brawley has a large crop of candi-
dates this year. If that city cannot
become the county seat, its residents
see no reason why Brawley should not
fill up the county offices. The rub
is that as soon as the residents of
another city get into county office
they invariably move toe county
seat, to become members of its fast
est growing population.
What about High School trustees?
Two of them are to be elected in
April, in the seats now pre-empted

it is stated by Mrs. Fawcett's friends
that she is willing to have someone
else take over the work
BY the way, is it legal for High

DEFEATEDD EVERY
 CHANGE PROPOSED
By Ways and Means Com mitiee-Income Individ-
 ua] Tax Up Today.
By 4 Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 Washington, Sept. 16.-Beginning consideration of amendments to the war revenue bill, the house in fif- teen minutes today approved the greatly increased normal and surtax rates for individuals estimated to yield $1,4S2, 2,000,OOO, and defeated every change proposed in the draft of the bill as prepared by the ways and means committee.
 A motion to strike out the provis- ions extending income taxation tc sal aries of the president, federal judges and state, county and municipal of flee holders, was defeated.
 Every Change Rejected.
 Controversy developed over the pro vision to tax interest from future is sues of the state, county and munich pal bonds, but finol vote was post pcned until tomorrow.
 An amendment proposed by Repre- sentative Hardy of Texas, Democrat to change the basis of calculating of profits from sales of property held by the owner since 1913, also was re- jected overwhelmingly after majori- ty leader Kitchin had declared the principle advocated would cause re- venue loss of 0,000,000.
 The house tomorrow will consider administration income tax provis- ions and possibly reach the war ex- cess profits sections.
 Summary approval today of the nor mal ond surtax income rates was a general surprise.
 There was no discussion of the pro- visions increasing normal taxes to 12 percent, and limiting the tax to six per cent on the first $4,O00, and no amendment of the greatly increased SurtaX was offered.

Make Cotton
 Protests to
 Wilson Today
By Associated Press.

by ASSOcldCed ffeSS.
 Washington, Sept 16.-Protest against any step being taken by the government locking to the fixing of cotton prices are to be made tomorrow to president Wilson by committees ap- pointed for that purpose by confer ences of southern senator's and re- presentatives last Saturday.
 Other engagements prevented the president from seeing them today.
 This action resulted from the state ment made public last week by presi- dent Wilson unfolding a plan an- nounced earlier by chairman Baruch of the War Industries Board provid- ing for appointment of committee composed of three persons to investi- gate the cotton situation and to fix prices if necessary.
 Senators and representatives de- clare no authority under the law gives government officials such power.
 Arrangements for the conference with the president were made by sena- tor Smith of South Carolina, chair man of the senote committee. Sena- tor Robinson, of Arkansas, in a con- ference with the president late today, called attention to the harm that will come from such action, and opposed any effort to fix the price for the present crops.

Polish Divisions Exceeding 100000 Being Organized
 For Russia Campaign.
POLES ASK UNITED
 STATES RECOGNITION
That They May Aid in Op- posing Spread of German
 Aggression in Russia.

Halbin, Saturday, Sept. IA move ment exceeding perhaps that of the CZecho-S Slovaks is being organized by Polish officers to form a Polish divi- sion to fight in Siberia westward tC their oppressed fatherland as integral units in the American army.
 According to conservative esti- mates. an army of more than lOU,O00 trained militarists is Immediately available in the region of Hal'bin 'Niksolsk and Vladivostok.
 Large corps of railway men also can be utilized if necessary to take ovel the Chinese eastern railway.
 The funds to be used in creating the Polish army are to be considered loan to the Polish people or their government,
 It is believed that if the Polish or ganization is successful the Kkrain- ians will begin similar movement and because of the close relationship between the Magyars and the Poles it is considered possible that many of the Magyars may be won over to the side of the entente allies.
 The Poles have asked that they be promptly granted recognition by the II. s. government so that they may aid in opposing the spread of German aggression as we'll as in their own freedom.
 Entente allied officials here see three benefits to be derived from the encouragement of the Poles.
 First, they say it would obviate the necessity of moving additional troops across the Pacific second, the; allied forces now in battle could be moved westward to strengthen the Murmar coast expedition, ultimately bringing pressure to bear on the western front: and third, an army composed of CzechoSlave, Poles and Ukrain- nians would galvanize the Russians to action

Will Probably Follow U. $. In Answer to Austria
 Peace Letter.
NOTHING TO COME
 OF PEACE MOVE
Meanwhile Fighting Goes on in Various Sectors
 With Allies Advancing
UNDATED WAR LEAD BY THE
 ASSOCIATED PRESS.

The United States has turned it's back on the Austro- Hungarian peace proposal.
 Secretary Lansing by authorization of president Wilson, announced that tain no proposal for a conference upon matter concerning which it has made it's position and purpose so plain"
 The British secretary of foreign affairs, Mr. Belfour, has also stated, though unofficially that he yas utter ly unable to see that such a confer ence as proposed by Austria could have the desired end, adding;
 "NOTHING DOING."
 "It is incredible that anything can come of this proposal"
 While the German newspapers con- ment on the proposal as if Germany had no part in it, the Vienna news na~0"s declare emphatically that all of Austria's allies had been informed of tion itself was -Hungary's own.
 Meanwhile in the various theatres of the war the fighting in going on steadily and with adde impetus in Macedonia, where a Serbian army, CO., operation with French forces, has stormed three strongly fortified posi-, tions and occupied Vetrenik, Dobro- polje and Sokal, considered the most important part of the Macedonia front.
 Farther east on the Doiran-Vardar front the first and second line Bull garian position have been captured by the allies over ten mile section.
 This successful operation, accord ing t MT. Balfour, who announced it at reception of the Greek delegation in London. is "the prelude to an inn portant offensive bringing greater triumphs, in which the British and Greek troops would take an equal and glorious part" French troops in their advance toward the Chemis Des Danes hove gained two-thirds of mile on two and a half mile front northeast and east of Sancy, where they captur- ed an additional 500 prisoners.
 America and German patrols are do- ing the major part of the work on the Lorraine front, but there are re- ports of possible great attack by one side or the other in the Vcsges.
 In that mountainous territory the artillery fire has developed great in- tensity and hostile airplanes have been unusually active.

With the American Army in Lor- raine, Sunday, Sept. 15.-Difficulties almost unbelievable were overcome by the French-American troops who attacked the Germans on the western flank of the St. Mihiel salient.
 The heaviest fighting occurred on this flank, as elsewhere along the line of last weeks offensive the Ger mans retreated with little opposi- tion.
 The attackers had to storm and pass forests and thickets which were al most solid mass of barbed wire.
 They had to traverse roads cut by many trenches and were opposed not only by men and all the machinery of war, but by nature as well. '"
 However, they accomplished the al- most incredible feat of breaking thru
 Behind them they left torn masses of wire, ruined roadways and wooded hills belted with concrete forts.
