CRUHAl EVENTS NEAR,
 IS WASnINToN BELIEF
TherH Is Evidence That German High Command Is Planning
 Withdrawal.

By Associated Press.
 Washington, Sept. 11.-Behind the apparent Hull in the battle in France events are swiftly shaping for opera tions of crcc!a. importance in the opinion of officials here who are keeping m hour to hour touch with developments.
 These observers believe weeks time will see either the greatest bat tie of the war in progress along the old Hindenburg line, or the enemy again in full retreat toward tho Bel gian frontier, refusing to meet Mar shal Foch's forces.
 There Is evidence that the German high command may plan further ex- tensive withdrawal in order to short en it's defensive lines and ease the strain upon Germans waning man. power.
 There is now little doubt that il was lack of fighting electives that forced the enemy to abandon all he had gained in his drive of this year and narrow his front.
 Unofficial estinates from France say the Germans have left behind them during the withdrawal mope than 30O,00O prime fighting men, kill cd. bandly wounded, or prisoners.ss,,
 This Is in addition to Tthe heavy losses in the frontal attacks by which the enemy early. in the summer drove his way toward Paris and the channel ports. ;

REAL WORK STARTS ON REVENUE BILL
 FRIDAY MORNING
New Bond Legislation Will Probably Yield Treasury
 Fifty Millions.
Bv The Associated Press.

6y The ASSOclaCeO FTeSS. k, q, Washington, Sept. 11.-Whfle the house continued general debate today on the $8;OO0, ,OO0, 900 war revenue measure, leaders arranged to begin real work on the bill and amendments Friday, and at the same time pass the new bill urged by Secretary McAdoo to facilitate sale of Liberty bonds by making a larger amount of these bonds held in individual hands exempt from income surtaxes.
 Majority leader Kitchin privately estimated that the new bond legisla- tion probably would reduce the rev. enue yield about $50,0O0,OOO.
 No revision had been planned, >he said, to make up for the loss. The ways and means committee consid- cred this measure today and arranged to hear Assistant Secretary Leffing- well tomorrow.
 Without prospects of little or no opposition the committee expects to pass the bond bill Friday, under, an arrangement made for cooperation by Senate leaders. r
 As proposed by MT. McAdoo, in stead of the present law exempting from income surtaxes bonds up to $5,- 900 owned by any individual or cor poration, the new bill would exempt $30, 1000 ,of the new, fourth loan and $45,OOO of the second and third or the converted securities of this issue.
 Speech making, in the house drag 'ged along, with not more than fifty members in attendance.
 The speeches in the main were pa triotic, interjected with severe criti- cism of the bill's provisions, altho members said they would support it and that the country would bear the tax burden cheerfully.

':
 He pleaded only that the constitu- tion guaranteed the right of free speech and declared his willingness to die in prison for the principles ot socialism to which he has devoted his life.
 In his first words Debs said:. I "I have nc dispute with the evl- dence by the government, no criti' cisf for the counsel, for the prosecu- tion. ,.. 4
 "I- would not take back word o1 what I believe right to save myself from the penitentiary. .L
 "Isam accused of crime, but l look the court in the face: l look the jury in the face; I look the world in the face; for in my heart no accusation of wrong festers."
 He spoke of sympathy for the Bol 4 sheviki.
