TAX BEFORE SAT-.
-W.S.S.-

Los Angeles, June 13.-Income and
excess profit taxes are coming in at
the rate of $5OO,OOO daily, with but
three days left in which to make pay
ments, Chief Deputy Jones of the In
ternal Revenue Collectors office said
yesterday.
!. The office will remain open until
4:3O o'clock Saturday afternoon. The
time limit is midnight of Saturday.
"From present calculation we should
be getting in at least $1,000,000 daily
in order to come up to the income tax
estimates for this district" said Mr..
Jones. "We cannot impress upon
everybody too strongly that this tax
is an imperative one. Heavy penal
ties will follow neglect to pay. Let
this serve as a last notice for all to
come in at once and show their con-
fidence in the government by paying
the tax"
Collector Carter was confined in
his home yesterday with a slight in
disposition due to overwork in attend
ing to tax payments.

the north bank of the Matz river. ViO-
lent combats continue between the
Aisne and Villers- -Cotterets forest
The Germans have progressed as far
as the ravine east Of Laversine and
north of Cutry.
The Germans violently attacked the
Americans between BOuresches and
Belleay wood. The Americans broke
up an attack and inflicted severe
losses on the enemy, and held all
gains. The enemy obtained a foot
hold at COeuvres and st. Pierre Aigle
after violent fighting.
There was plenty of fighting yes

-W.S.S.--
With the American Army in France,
Wednesday. June 12.-(By Associated
Press)-American artillery fire was
largely responsible for the capture of
400 Germans by L. S. marines in the
fighting which cleared Belleau Wood
of the TeutOns.
The Germans, who had been told to
avoid capture because the Americans
would torture them, started to run al
ter American machine gunners made
the wood untenable. but a perfect ar
tilery Darrage blocked their escape.
A major, a captain and four lieuten-
ants were among the prisoners taken.
All were poorly clad Some had bread
tied to their uniforms with strings.
Several of the prisoners expressed a
desire to live after the war. The pris-
oners declared that Germany's plans
called for an ending of the war this
fall.
The scarcity of officers in the Ger
man army is shown by the fact that a
first sergeant, one of the prisoners,
was commanding the entire company
He said this was common now. All
the prisoners are confined in the rear
of the American lines, which hold
more prisoners of war than the Unit
ed States has had in one building al
any time in more than fifty years.
