 LONDON, Sept. 9--The British in an advance over a four mile front between the Havrincourt wood and Peiziere have captured all the German positions on the high ground between these two points and won their old trench positions overlooking Gouzeau- court, according to the official communication from Field Marshal Haig tonight. The Gouzeaucourt wood also is in British hands.
 The text of the statement fol- lows:
 This morning advanced detach- ments of English and New Zea- landers attacked and carried the German positions on the high ground between Peiezere and the Havrincourt wood. After sharp fighting, in the course of which heavy counter attacks were re- pulsed with losses, we gained the old British trench line on the ridge overlooking GouZeaucourt and cap tured Gouzeaucourt wood.
 "On the left of our attack other English troops successfully ad- vanced our line in the eastern DOT tion of the Havrincourt wood. We captured a number of prisoners in these operations.
 "On the remainder of the British front there was fighting on certain sectors. Hostile attacks against posts we recently established west of La BaSsee were repulSed.

JEROME, Ariz., Sept 9.-Thirty thousand hand bills. half printed in English and half in Spanish, calling a general strike for two weeks beginning tomorrow, were seized here today with the arrest of Walter H. Johnson, held by federal and city authorities.
 Phe handbills announced the pur- pose of the proposed strike to force release of Thomas J. Mooney, William D. Haywood and others now in custody including members of the I. w. w. re- gently convicted in Chicoga of violat- ing the espionage act.
 Arresting officers said Johnson had been tarred and feathered in Bisbee Arizona, last spring in connection with the I. W. W. activities there.
 GLOBE, Ariz., Sept. 9-Handbills calling for a general strike of two weeks duration, beginning tomorrow September 10, were secretly circulated throughout the Globe Miami district this afternoon.
 The authorities have so far been un- able to locate the distributors of cir culars but are keeping close watch al all entrances to the mines in the hope of detecting some of the ring leaders. The handbills ask that the workers lay stress on the fact that Tom Moon ey and 101 men lately convicted 1T Chicago be immediately released. thai services may also be applied to the | cause that confronts each and every l one of us today"

DISTRIBUTION IF MINERALS PURPOSE
 IF THIS MEASURE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Sept.s 9.-ConSid- eration began in the senate today of the bill providing for government pro- auction and distribution during the war of metals and minerals essential in the prosecution of the war and ap- propriating $50,000000 as a revolving fund for the purpose.
 The bill, which is proposed as a sub stitute for one passed by the house, does not affect the production of gold, silver. copper, lead and zinc.
 Senator Henderson of Nevada. auth or of the measure, said it is endorsed by President Wilson, as well as Sec retary Lane and Chairman Baruch of the war industries board.
 Could Acquisition Metal
 The president would be empowered to requisition any undeveloped or in sufficiently developed deposits of the metals named in the bill, as well as mines and smelters, and 10 operate them under lease or royalty agree ments. He also would be authorized to form one or more corporations if deemed advisable to carry out the pur- poses of the law.
 Senator King Objects
 Senator King of Utah objects to the broad powers conferred on the pro- posed corporation, but Senator Shaf- roth of Colorado, a member of the mines committee. said he and other members believed it to be better policy for the government to have a revolving fund by which the minerals desired could be produced rather than to fix maximum and a minimum price.

CRITICISM IF WAR
 REVENUE BILL IN
 HOUSE DEBATE HO7
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, Sept 9.-Criticism of the war revenue bill by the republi- can spokesman occupied in the house today in the general debate
 Inequalities and inconsistencies in levying taxes, characterized as unnec- essarily high and charges of waste in government expenditures were the principal complaints made in speeches by Representative Fordney of Ntchi- gan. and Representative Moore ot Pennsylvania. Both promised to vote for the bill despite their criticisms.
 Hearings by the senate finance con- mittee on the bill, resumed today, were confined to objections to minor sec tions.
 In the house the debate was attended by less Strenuousness.
 Touch Politics During Discussion There were touches of politics in to- days discussion. While partisanship had not entered into framing the bill, Representative Fordney charged that President Wilson "alone has shown partisan politics" and MT. Moore said the republican minority was helpless | in framing the bill.
 Among instances of alleged waste oi | government money, Representative | Fordney included certain publications | issued by Chairman Greet of the con- mittee on public information, who, ht said, should be kicked out" Repre- sentative Moore called attention to tht aircraft expenditures and "cost plus contracts covering contractors taxes.
 Would Investigate Contracts
 Urging an investigation of govern ment contracts which includes taxes or contractors expenses, Representativ Madden of Illinois, declared they "ar' not only an outrage, but also an in iquity and the sooner investigated, tn better"
 Suggestions by MT. Moore for ta- of $3 a bale on cotton stirred up mem bers from the cotton states. Repre- Isentative Hardy of Texas, protested tha wheat and corn were not taxed an Representative Crisp of Georgia de clared cotton growers were patrioti enough to pay a tax, but it would b unfortunate.
 MT. Moore replied that the govern ment was controlling prices of whea corn and other agricultural product and ought to tax cotton to equaliz conditions. Steel, he said, already wa heavily taxed.
 As an inequality, he cited the fac that 7S per cent of all corporation an income taxes in 1916 were paid by northern, mid-northern and wester states.
