FRENCH ARE NOW 0N THREE SIDES 0F
 CITY 0F NOYON
Germans Must Withdraw to Escape Capture or Be
 ing Cut to Pieces.

With the French Army in France Aug. 20 (By The Associated Press Evening" The operations begun this morning by General Mangin's troops between the Aisne and the Disc, south east of Noyon and northwest of Sois- sons looks this evening to be splen- did success.
 General Mangin has taken from the Germans at Cuts and Mont De Choisy the last heights remaining south of the Disc in that region.
 At Mont De Choisy the French troops are within 2 1-2 miles of the Disc at Pontoise, the direct road to which is now under fire of the French batteries.
 Carlepont, to the southwest, is also in the hands of the French tonight and from this place their guns com mand another road to the Disc, at Sempigny, directly south of N!oyon. :
 Genarl Mangin with his right solid ly on the heights north of the Aisne around Fontenoy is sweeping the Germans off the high ground south of the Disc, obliging them to re- treat across the river or retire east ward.
 In either event the success of the movement will expose the region about Noyon 10 artillery attacks from the south, the southeast and the south west.
 The Germans are fighting hard against this danger, relying princip. ally upon machine guns as in the Thescourt region, thus indicating that some of the artillery already is across or it on the way across the river Disc. i
 The count of prisoners and an in- ventory of the booty taken still are incomplete. One corps in this opera tion had counted 1900 prisoners ul to noon and had immense quantities o1 captured war materials of. all sorts.

DRASTIC TAX 0N
 OPIUM ID BE IN NEW REVENUE BILL
New Measure Cannot Be Completed and Reported
 Until Next Monday.

Washington, Aug. 20-The house ways and means committee after an all day discussion of administrative provisions and other details of the $8,000, 0,000,0OO revenue bill was un- able to reach final agreement on the details of the income and excess profits tax schedules. Chairman Kit chin conceded that it was doubtful if the bill could be reported to the house by the committee by next Mon day. He announced however, that there is no question whatever of the bill raising the total $8,00O,000,00 sought.
 MT. Kitchin announced that Secre- tary McAdoo, in his latest letter, agreed to the plan of dividing busi- ness into groups for purposes of de- duction of pre-war earnings, but that a maximum 12 per cent deduction which the committee had proposed to give to mining and kindred hazardous enterprises was too great and that 10 per cent was more equitable.
 The committee in all probability will write into the bill a division of corporations and other business en- terprises into two groups for deduct zion purposes in the war profitc tax on the basis of pre-war earnings.
 These groups probably will be: Fin ancial and transportation concerns, in- cluding all public utilities, eight per cent deduction and manufacturing mining, gas and oil we'll and other miscellaneous business 10 per cent de- duction.
 A subcommittee headed by Repres- entative Rainey of Illinois was ap- pointed and will report tomorrow in favor of drastic tax on opium and other narcotics with the purpose = meeting the situation which was created by the decision of the supreme court which took away much of the effectiveness of the Harrison anti narcotic law.
