TO Everett C. Brown, president Of the
Chicago Live Stock Exchange, but to
facilitate the sale the names Of al
commission men were put into . hat
and the fortunate firms were drawn
by E. NJ. Hughes, secretary Of the
exchange. 'r
No commission was charged for SELL
ing the hogs, and the firms whose
names were not drawn were keerly
disappointed. Every one wanted TO
sell the hogs. The spirit ef the COM

Were Mixed Lot. Nj
The hogs were mixed lot, as was
expected. Every breed was represent
ed, and many Of the hogs showed sew
eral breeds. They were big and little,
fat and thin, but this fact made no
difference to the packers who bought
the stock. There was no sorting5
everything went with the load-and at
good prices.
Because of the large run of hogs
$4,000 hogs here-not all of the hogs
were yarded early, but the packer
buyers were out bright and early look
ing for them. Other business was dis
carded until the available Red Cross
hogs were out of the way. ArmouTs
buyers took ten loads right OF the
reel, and the other packers were just
as active.
Previous to shipping the hogs Mr..
Bear wrote all of the packers about
the, consignment. NThe response was
hearty, and from the way they went
after the hogs one would think they
were the only stock in the yards.
The train came unannounced and
was unloaded quickly. The men who
accompanied the shipment stood with
the stock from ! o'clock in the morn
ing until it was sold.
"We're here" they chorused to the
packer buyers early this morning.
$50 are we," was the reply. Bring
on the hogs"

NEARLY $4,000 PRISONERS TAKEN IN
a BIG FRANCO AMERICAN DRIVE
Engagement Now Reaching Point Where Individual
Armies Will Soon BE Lost in Giant Strugge-Ger-
mans Making Desperate Efforts to Hold Their Present
Positions.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE AISNE-
MARINE FRONT, July 20, by The Associated Press.-The
battle along the front of the allied counerattack be-
the Asne and the Mane is being extended farther
south toward Chateau Therry in the region previously
affected according to information early this morning
The attempts Of German crown princes generals to
rally their forces to meet the sudden movement of the al
lies has resulted in such strengthening of the opposition
to indicate that the battle is approaching the point
where the armies will soon be lost in giant struggle Both
the northern end of the line and farther south the
enforced Germans making desperate effort to hold
their positions.
The Franco American forces are continuing their
steady pounding Of the northern part of the line Sos

INCOME TAX OF 10 PER CENT.
Favored House Committee, but No Con
clusion Reached.

WASHINGTON, July 2O-A ten per
cent minimum- income tax for individu-
ais and corporations in lieu of the pres
ent per cent for individuals and 6 per
cent Tor corporations. was favored at yes
terday's executive session of the house
ways and means committee which is draft
ing the new war revenue bill. No con-
clnsion was reached, however. Lowering
of the fixed amounts exempted from tax
alton also was discussed, but sentiment
largely was III opposition.
Members of the committee expressed
fear that with present rates, the S6,000,-
000,000 revenue planned from incomes and
excess profits could not be raised With
this in mind, some members suggested
resort to consumption taxes, but this was
regarded as a last expedient A slight
tax on cotton also was suggested.
On the assumption that nationwide
prohibition legislation now pending il
Congress will not be enacted this year
there was renewed discussion of obtaining
more revenue from beer and other in
toxicating liquors 1t was suggested that
a direct tax on gross sales in all trans
actions from manufacturer to consumer
would yield S2,000,000,0o0.
The committee is carefully considering
and freely discussing all sections of the
bill, and it may be several weeks before
any rates are fixed

could not be conjeetured. Fleets of
submarine chasers, it is known, put out
from New York and other coast ports
immediately upon receipt of news of the
disaster and destroyers were also
rushed to the scene Several merchant
steamers were reported to have respond
ed to S. 0. S. calls of the San Diego
and shore wireless stations and to have
stood by picking up survivors Crews
of the Fire Island and Oak Island
coast guard stations left for the scene
of the disaster and had not returned
at 1870 O'Clock last night.
Details of the San Diego's destruction
remained wholly veiled last night except
for story told by an unidentified naval
aviator on patrol who apparently wit
messed the disaster from the air The
story as obtained by villagers was that
while flying along the Long Island shore
he saw the San Diego suddenly list and
later saw hundreds of men struggling in
the water. He Immediately sped for the
Point o. Woods where he landed and got
into communication with wireless sta
tions which he ordered to send out
s. o. s. calls.

The San Diego was sunk at 11.3o
a. m. about 10 miles southeast of Fire
Island light, which is off the Long Is
land shore, about 80 miles east of the
entrance to New York harbor and on
the main highway of transatlantic
ships bound in and out of the port. Re
ports reaching Bay Shore, L. l., last
night were to the effect that the yes
sci sank off Cherry Grove, seven miles
east of that place.
Although the navy department an
nounced that the cause of the loss of the
San Diego had not been determined,
information received from reliable
sources in the afternoon indicated that
submarines had been operating off the
coast and that she had been torpedoed.
There were rumors that the cruiser had
been in a collision, also that she had
struck a mine, but reports current
where survivors landed on Long Is
land shore bore out the indications
that a German submarine had been re-
sponsible.
Inhabitants of Bay Shore and Baby
lon said they heard gunfire and ex-
plosions at sea shortly before noon.
The 80 officers and sailors came ashore
in three boats between and p. m.
at Point o Woods, which is on a remote
sand spit. They were held at a coast
guard station where inquirers were
barred. The firing continued during
the afternoon and into the evening, the
villagers reported. The reason for il

26TH DIVISION IN
PRESENT BIG DRIVE
Gen. March Discloses Identity of Units
Engaged, 100000 Men En-
barked for France.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Official re-
port to the war department, Gen. March
told newspapermen today at the weekly
conference, showed maximum penetra-
ton by the Franco-American counter-at-
tack Of 10 miles and an average penetra-
tion of seven miles on - mile front.
The attack is still being pressed against
heavy German reserves
The American troops engaged on this
front are the first, second. third, and
fourth regular divisions and the Goth New
England and 2Sth Pennsylvania national
guard. The sd national guard (rainhow)
is stationed in the Champagne region
Gen. March disclosed that the embarka-
ton of American troops had passed the
100000 mark The war department has
no advices that the city of scissors has
fallen, but it is known to be under a
heavy fire from American artillery and
its fall seeQs imminent
The objective of the Franco American
attack is the Chateau Thierry railway
which the allies have reason to believe is
the principal artery of supply for the en-
emy in the Chateau Thierry region and al
SO one of the principal resources of the
sector south Of the Marine. The French
and Americans are on this road under di-
rect fire of artillery
The chief-ofstaff pointed ont that with
this road under allied control the German
withdrawal from the sector south of the
AIarne would be difficult and the line in
the rear would be lost
Officials advices conform the press re-
ports Of 1000 prisoners and guns and
