HOUSE APPROVES
 SURTAX RATES

WASHINGTON Sept l6.-Begin- ming 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 s1.4S2, ,OOO, 900, and defeated ey- cry change proposed in the draft of the bill as prepared by the ways and means committee
 After a spirited controversy, a mo- tion to strike out the IToylsIons ex- tending income taxation to salaries of the president. federal judges, and state, county and municipal office holders. was defeated Another con- troversy developed over the provision to tax interest from issues of state, county and municipal bonds. but a final vote was postponed until tomor- row because of lack of a quorum. An amendment proposed by Representa- tive Hardy of Texas, democrat, to change the basis of calculating profits from sales of property held by the owners since 1919, also was rejected overwhelmingly after Majority Leader Kitchin had declared the principle ad- vanced would cause a revenue loss of $2, ,O00, 100000.
 Besides voting on the question of taxing income from state, county and municipal bonds, the house tomorrow will consider administrative provi- sions of the individual income tax sec tions, the corporation income tax pro vision tax and possibly reach the war excess profits sections.
 Summary approval today of the nor nal and surtax income rates was a general surprise.

 purpose to sound the note which the entente powers must repeat in their own answers, All these powers had gone on record formally as accepting the conditions of peace laid down by President Wilson as their own.
 While no reference was made to it in the reply which the United States government is making to Austria, it IS known that one of the most objec- tionable features of Baron BuriAns' proposition was the secrecy suggested for the non-binding" conferences. It was realized by officials here that the purpose was to barter away the rights of various nationalities in star cham Der proceedings SO the victims would have no knowledge of their fate until 1t was beyond recall This system of barter was particularly denounced by President Wilson, in Q one of his speeches.
 That the German people themselves were to be kept in the dark by the military masters and prevented from having any voice in the peace which was 10 be imposed Upon them, was re- sarded as an assured fact.

spread of Bolshevik ideas. which might in some way be behind this movement to bring about a peace and terminate the war be:ore 1t had been fought to a clear decision. There is no such apprehension on the part of the administration of a cataclysm which will bring down all civilized in- stitutions, and instead the general staff has given every assurance that the war Is proceeding to a reasonably early and complete victory, which will involve the acceptance by the Cen tral powers of the only possible terms of peace-namely. those laid down by President Wilson.
 These terms referred to in the reply dictated today to the Austrian note, were clearly set out in President Will sons Fourth of July speech at Mount Vernon. as follows.
 'l-The destruction of every arbi- trary power anywhere that can sep arately. secretly and of it's single choice disturb the peace of the world; CT. if it cannot be presently destroyed, at least its reduction to virtual impo- tence.
 "2-The settlement of every Ques- tion, whether of territorial. of the sov- ereign, of the economical arrangement of political relationship, upon the basis of the free acceptance of that settle ment by the people immediately con cerned and not upon the basis of the material interest or advantage of any other nation or people which may de- sire a different settlement for the sake of its own exterior Influence or mastery.
 "3-The consent of all nations to be governed in their conduct toward each other by the same principles of honor and respect for the common law of civilized society that govern the indi- Vidual citizens of all modern states in their relations with one another; to | the end that all promises and cove nants may be sacredly observed, no private plots or conspiracy matched. no selfish injuries wrought with impu- nifty and a mutual trust established { upon the handsome foundation Of a mutual respect for right.
 "EThe establishment of an organ ization of peace which shall make it certain that the combined power of free nations will check every inva- sion of right and serve to make peace and justice the more secure by afford ing a definite tribunal of opinion, to which all must submit and by which every international readjustment that cannot be amicably agreed upon by the peoples directly concerned shall be sanctioned"
 There is some speculation in official circles as to what will be the next step in what is recognized as the great German peace offensive. Gener- ally. 1t is believed that the German and Austrian military leaders will noint to the American reply as an eyi- dence that they have done everything possible to bring about peace, and thus try to strengthen their people for another winter campaign. But another view is that owing to the intOlerable conditions in Austra-Hungary there is more than a possibility Of a breaking up of the Quadruple alliance; that Austria, having gone through the form of making a peace proposal, which was proptly rejected. has thus cleared the way for her next step-an uncon- ditional surrender on the terms laid down by President Wilson.

It is point. ed out that the German socialist lead, CTS have used very threatening Ian guage to Chancellor Von Hertling lately demanding internal reforms and the opening of peace negotiations. In addition the rapidly growing food and clothing difficulties in Germany also must have had a considerable part in bringing about the step.

PoLEs ARE ENTHusEp


 KAREN, Saturday, Sept. (By the Associated Press).-A movement .ex. ceeding. perhaps, that of the Czecho. Slovaks is being organized by Polish officers to form a Polish division to fight in Siberia westward to their Op' pressed fatherland as integral units in the American army. According to conservative estimates, an army of more than 100000 trained militarists is immediately available in the region of Harbin, Kikolsk and Vladivostok.
 Large corps of railway men also can be utilized if necessary to take over the Chinese Eastern railroad. The funds to be used in creating the loan to the Polish people or their government.
 The Poles have asked that they be promptly granted recognition by the United States government so that they may aid in opposing the spread of German aggression as well as win their own freedom.
 Entente allied officials here see three benefits to be derived from the encouragement of the Poles. First, they say it would ooviate the necessity of moving additional troops across the Pacific; second, the allied forces now in Siberia could be moved west ward to strengthen the Murman coast expedition ultimately bringing pres sure to bear on the western front; and third, an army composed of Cze- cho-Slovaks, Poles and Ukrainians would galvanize the Russians into ac- tion.

Atlanta Ga, Nov. 0-Animated by

have left their knitting and abandoned
their club meetings to 90 into the cotton
fields
The labor problem has become acute
all over the country. but nowhere has it
affected agriculture so seriously MS in this
section. Largely dependent upon the
Negro population TO do farm work and
help in harvesting all crops the South
was handicapped before the war began by
the exodus of Negroes to New York, New
Jersey and other sections Of the North
and Fast where higher pay was promised.
Then, when the war came, thousands OF
Negroes were drafted, and thousands
more were taken for war work As a
consequence, il soon became harder to
harvest crop than To grow one. Now,
with the cotton crop III danger, the de
butantcs are leading the way to its saving.
The movement had its start IN Rich
mond county, where young women ot the
first families volunteered To go into the
fields and pick the cotton. Then IT spread
to Lithonia. Ga, where the members of the
Rosalic Howell Patriotic League, named
after an Atlanta girl now nurse IN n
