charge of the train from Camp Logan to an eastern point is quoted as saying that There was an improvement of 100 per cent in the conduct of the men on the train where there was a Y. M. c. A. secretary over the last one 1 accompanied which had no Y man. And the conductor was not biased in favor of the Y. M. c. A. as he was a Catholic.
 Recent instructions issued by the Hostess House at Camp Pike for the benefit of the new selective draft men suggest that relatives do not come to the camp for several weeks af- ter the new man leaves home. It will be easier to find the man you want to see and he will probably be out of quar- rentine. The men are also ask ed to write the folks at home to refrain from surprise visits. There will be fewer disap- pointments and much less vast ed time. Invite your relatives and friends to meet you at the Hostess House and have them go there directly upon arrival leaving instructions to the sec- retaries as to when and where you can be found.
 Prior Cruse, son of Editor Cruse of the Morrilton Demo- crat writes from somewhere in France, that he is working on the tanks and has a com fortable camp. He adds, we have our own canteen and a nice little Y. M. CA. I don't know what we would do with out the Y as that is the chief place of amusement in the camp.
 Camp Pike is wanting more late magazines and new books. There is small use of sending weekly publications that are more than a month old, and the monthly magazines should be kept as nearly up to date as possible. There is also a de- mand for the latest books in fiction. If you expect your boy to be up to date in their fight ing, you will have to keep them up to date in their reading. The man who is interested in read ing has usually read all the old magazines when they came out, and the one who doesn't care how old they are, is the one that seldom looks at more than the pictures. Send books and magazines to the Camp Library or to Y. M. c. A., at Camp Pike, Ark. That will be all the address necessary.

 American soldiers in France will be expected to keep their facs clean. A late order from the War Dpartment announces that razors are being issued to all men of the American Ex- peditionary Forces. The rag ors are a standard safety and extra blades will be supplied as needed. This is the first time in the history of the army that razors have been issued.
 Secretaries were installed in the four Y. M. c. A. buildings for officers the first of the week one in each. No programs are given in these buildings which will be used mainly as reading and writing rooms and for so- cial intercourse. They are used largely by the younger officers who cannot afford the expense of the officers clubs, and who are not content to remain in quarters, which are decidedly warm this weather. While each officer has a room of his own they are usually quite small and not nearly so cool as the barracks of the enlisted men.
 Change succeeds change at Camp Pike and no one knows what a day may bring forth While the Fourth Officers Training School at Camp Pike has been increased until it now has some 1,2OO student officers 25O artillery students have been transferred to Camp Tay- Tor at Louisville. Machine Gun men to the number of 119 have been transferred to Camp Han cock, Augusta, Ga. Several hundred second lieutenants have been transferred to Camp McArthur at Waco, Texas. And so it goes. Some of these second lieutenants remind one of the elusive little pea in the days of the old shell game with the barker calling, "Now you see it, and now you don't see it."

Prc.War Earnlngs Basis.


The committee In all probability
will write into the bill a division of
corporations and other business en-
terprises into two groups for deduc-
tion purposes in the war profits tax
on the basis of pre-war earnings.
These groups probably will be finan-
cial and transportation concerns, in-
cluding all public utilities, eight per-
cent deduction and manufacturing,
mining, gas and oil well and other
miscellaneous businesses ten percent
deduction
Chairman Kitchin made this state
ment.
The committee has been discussing
administrative regulations in the bill
not affecting the rates at all, We
adopted provision for a board which
will draft legislative matters, the
board to be composed of two MEM
bers. one to be appointed by the
speaker of the house and the other by
the vice president as the presiding
head of the senate.
Treasury to Draw Plan.
I'VE have taken no further action
as to earned and unearned incomes,
but have asked the treasury depart
ment to work out a plan for admin
istering this differential of three per-
cent against unearned incomes, on
which the committee reached ten
tatiye agreement the other day We
want tho treasury to work out plan
for ALLEGATION and for deduction OF
cEedts and other technical details of
an unearntd income differential plan.
1T will be a three percent differ
ential, but whether il will be as re-
suit, normal income tax of II ana
II percent. the former for earned and
the latter for unearned, or o and II
percent to preserve the 10 percent
norma, the committee heretofore has
agreed on, cannot say.
Hope Agreement Today.
rThe only main problem left is that
Of excess profits and we will try TO
agree on that tomorrow, We may
finally pass on the bill Friday, but it
is not at all certain"
Replying to questions Mr.. Kitchin
said that relief of the individual from
the excess profits tax was decided up
on by the committee long ago and
was in the original draft of its bill.
The Legislation drafting board as
agreed upon today is to have body
of experts to draw bills and other
legislative documents. Each of the
two members will receive $4,000 4
year.
An effort was made by Represen-
tatives Moore and Longworth to re-
lieve symphony orchestras from the
20 percent amusement admission tax
but the committee rejected the prop
osition. The committee decided that
hotel news stands which sell tickets
to amusements at high rates shall pay
the admission tax Sightseeing vehi-
cles are also subject TO the tax.

Expected Attack, but Rein

stand Shock of Thrust,

With the French Army In France.
Aug 20 (Reutersl General Mangin's
operations of the past two days pre-
pared the way for fresh advance
today The attack began at 7 o'clock
this morning on q front of twenty
miles from Pimprez on the right bank
of the Disc, to Fontenoy
Yesterdays heavy bombardment ap-
parently warned the enemy that an
attack was coming, for during the
night fresh enemy divisions were
brought up from a long distance in
tn rear in motor lorries and Jaeger
divisions, the captors OF Mont KEN
mel were shifted from the Scissors
region to. hep, meet tho shook Of
General Mangn's men.
Many Dead Are Left.
These reinforcements seem to have
been of little avail. After three hours
of attack the French had advanced
an average of two and a half miles
along the whole front and thousands
of prisoners are beginning to flow
back, The German infantry fought
stubbornly and left considerable dead
en- the ground but their artillery fire
was feeble and virtually no airplanes
took part
The whole German front line was
passed one hour after the attack be-
gan. Soon after 8 o'clock the French
infantry was signalled on the far side
of the AudgIicourt ravine on the
roads leading across the plateau.
At the same time the village OF
Caisnes, In the Bois de La Montague,
was reached on the left and the
troops were entering Tartieres north
of the Asne, on the right The most
difficult part Of the operation was
the passage Of Audignicourt ravine,
along whose northern edge ran the
main German line of resistance.
