ANALYz|NG ASSETS
OF ALLIED GAINS
Gen. Pershing's Reference to
"Fruits of Victory" Dis
cussed in Washington.

Gen. Pershing's reference to the
Americans enjoying the fruits OF VIC
tory in the recent drive from the
Marne to the Vesle attracted attention
in Washington and set military circles
to analyzing the value Of the assets to
the allies in these successes. 1t is con-
sidered that beyond doubt one OF the
chief benefits is removal of the menace
of the projected occupation Of Paris by
the Germans.
Such was the main object OF the Ger
man drive, it is held here. The Ger
mans had collected enormous amounts
of military material In the salient
which has been reduced, as well as
massing formidable bodies Of troops.
1t was purposed at the favorable mo-
ment to move toward Paris with this
great war machine AS result Of the
latest tofeensiye of the allies. Paris Is
regarded as safe.
Result of the Attack
The attack of the Americans and the
French has resulted in the destruc-
tion of a large portion of the mate
rial and forced the Germans to with
draw the balance to the rear OF their
advanced lines. 1t has also decimated
and captured an important quota OF
the troops and pushed back the en-
tire mass of Germans.
Some estimates figure that one-third
of the German army on the western
front has been crippled and that an
important section of the army Is out
of action for the remainder OF this
year These are practical benefits to
the allies and corresponding loss to
the enemy, tangible and capable OF
being estimated.
Psychological Effect Considered.
What the psychological effect upon
Germany, and especially upon Austria
Hungary. may be 10 conjectural. The
assumption is that the German de-
feat, for such undoubtedly 1t is from
every military viewpoint. cannot fail
to bring encouragement to Austria
Hungary, where internal conditions
are known to be critical.
With American troops in evidence
with the Italian armies along the
Austrian front, there may be sugges-
tion of a foretaSte of what Is in store
for the central powers in that quar-
ter to further dishearten the enemy.
These are some of the fruits of vic
tory to which Gen. Pershing referred,
as the situation is viewed In Wash
ington.

NEW WAR PROFITS
TAX TO Be URGED
Two Plans, a Superimposed
and an Alternate, Before
House Committee.

Strengthened by President Wilson's
support, strictly war profits tax. dis
tinct from all other taxes. will be
urged this week with increased vigor
in the executive meetings of the ways
and means committee. which is draft
ing the $4,000. 100000 revenue bill.
The position of the democrats and
republicans who have been trying SO
far in the executive sessions of the
committee to win over the opponents
Of separate war profits plan has
been strengthened by President Will
sons declaration in favor of q heavy
tax to reach all war profteers and
by the fact that .the excess profits and
income tax sections of the bill 20 far
tentatively accepted fall short by con-
siderably more than $1,000. 100000 of
the $6,000.000.000 allotted to the two
sections.

Two Plans Discussed,

The committee has. been discussing
without conclusion two main war
profits plans. One is a superimposed
war profits tax with a maxirum of
so per cent on corporations having
more than 100000 capital. designed
to reach huge corporation profits. It's
author is Representative Green of
Iowa. The other plan is an alterna-
stituted for excess profits whenever
the Tresuary deemed 1t likely to
bring in more revenue than the ex-
cess profits tax in each individual
case. Its author is Representative
Crisp of Georgia.
Even members of the committee
not yet committed to either the Green
or Crisp proposals concede that some
war profits plan Is likely to be added
to the present draft of the bill. The
Crisp alternative plan is along lines
followed in England.

of the state. Much Of the crop being
in low ground and was planted as a
substituted for corn that had been
killed by the frost Of June 3d.
White potatoes were a disappoint-
ment. The yield was slightly above
the average. but did not come up to
earlier expectations. Blight, drought,
and insects al ltook heavy toll in both
commercial and farm patches.
Sweet potatoes produced better than
last year or the 10-year average, but
the quality is not quite as good.
The quality and yield OF tobacco Is
better than was expected earlier In
the season and the crop has ben
housed under very favorable condt
tons.
The apple crop, so far as farm or
chards are concerned, was almost q
failure, but 80 per cent commercial
crop was produced and amounted tc
255,000 barrels of splendid quality
Fancy prices are being secured as the
Indiana apples are classed among the

INDIANA CORN
YIELD SHOWS
BIG INCREASE
Total Production of 1885,
$4,000 Forecasted in Re-
port of State Field Agent.

Inc government crop report for
Indiana, issued today by Geo. c. Bry-
ant. field agent. Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, United States Department Of
Agriculture. shows the average yield
OF corn to be 1914 bushels per acre, or
total production of 196,599. 900 bush
els, which is 4,375,O0O bushels over
the October forecast The yield of
buckwheat is not up to the 10-year
average, being only 15R bushels per
acre; although the quality Is very
good The yield of both white and
sweet potatoes is better than the 10
year average, and tobacco was consid-
erably above. Glover seed production
is the smallest in many years and
grain sorghum and field peas show a
marked falling off from the average
both in the yield of grain and forage.
All fruit crops are exceptionally short
and the yield of sorghum syrup is 1G
gallons under the 10-year average
Fall sown crops are about as good as
1t Is possible for them to be and the
acreage of both wheat and rye is
considerably increased over last year
The weather for October was excep
tionally favorable to these crops and
soil conditions could hardly be i'm
proved upon.
The yield Of corn varied greatly in
nearly all sections of the state, and
especially in the area covered by the
heavy frost on the morning of June
70. In this section the drought In
July and August also seemed to have
been more severe than in the Other
sections. Much of the corn that was
planted late was used for ensilage
Not great deal of the crop had beer
husked at the frst Of the month, bu
the shortage of feed started many
farmers somewhat earlier than usual
The quality is greatly above the aver
age and the feeding value of the croI
is considerably above last years
Stocks OF old corn on farms are quite
low.

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch. PIN
Piles, rashes. blackheads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid. clean, easy to use and
large bottle, $1.O0. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and Is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
