TAX BILL OFFERS HUGE
TASK, SAYS Mr.: LODGE
Declares Senate Committee Recog-
nizes Necessity of Haste in Re-
, plying to Secretary McAdoo.

Senator Lodge OF Massachusetts,,
Senate minority leader and senior re-
publican on the finance committee
today. issued a statement in reply to
Secretary McAdoo's letter declaring
that the committee recognizes neces-
sity tor all due expedition, but that
It must have time necessary for the
great questions involved.
Pointing out that, excluding time
taken up by the woman suffrage con-
trovefsy. when it was kept from
work. the committee had only six
working days on the bill before Mr.
MoAdoo's request arrived, Senator
Lodge said:
THE committee without exception
are as anxious to hasten the revenue
bill as the Secretary. but we cannot
perform impossibilities. The hill was
four months in the ways and means
committee and the House. We have
been working very hard. but there
arc many questions of the greatest
importance which we must consider,
questions which the committee can
not shirk or pass by. 1t would be a
mere dereliction of duty to throw it
before, the Senate undigested, uncon-
sidered and unrevised.
we Shau DO the very best we can,
but the bill is an enormous one. The
Secretary himself did not approve the
enormous rates placed by the House
upon excess profits and war profits;
they are so large that it seems inevi-
table <hat they will tend to reduce
profits to a point which will dry up
the sources of income taxes as applied
botn to corporations and individuals
and leave the business organiza lions
of the country in a position where
they will have little money for divi-
bends, no money for proper reserves
and their funds to take liberty bonds will
be So depicted as to have a very serious
effect on placing the loans.
-The responsibility Of the committee
On fn&nce of the Senate is quite as
great as that Of the House or of the
Department, and they cannot neglect
their duty by neglecting or hurrying
the bill to such an extent that It
would not receive the consideration
that It ought to have and which the
country demands"

Tanks Repulse Germans.
When German forces advanced OH
Tuesday in an attempt to capture
Apremont, on the front northwest of
Verdun. American tanks suddenly
emerged from the town in all direc-

bullets into them from all sides and
spreading the utmost terror and con-
Sternation.
The -Amsrfcan tanks after smashing
their way through the German lines
wheeled about and repeated the opera
ton with deadly results. The enemy
losses were extremely heavy. In one
German company nine men were killed
and thirty were wounded out of seventy.
In another company ten were killed and
forty were wounded out of eighty.

PROGRAM FOR SPEED
IN HOUSE IS FRAMED
Acting Leader Gets Cooperation
:, of Minority Head in Effort to
l. Dispose of Legislation.

: Plans for a definite period Of adj
5ournment of Congress went glim-
mering today. Acting House Leader
Rainey of Illinois stated a program
in which he asked the cooperation
of Acting Minority Leader Gillett
This was promised.
According to Representative Raj
ney's program bills on the unanimous
consent calendar should be disposed
of this afternoon. Following that
Chairman Dent of the House mill
tary affairs committee is to be al
lowed preferential consideration for
eight or ten small war bills.
Representative Cantrill of Kentucky
will next bring in rule authorizing
consideration of the bill establishing

considered. in the absence of a quorum
of the House, If any point of no quo
rum is raised Representative Rainey
said he would move for adjournment.
After the bills have been disposed
of, he said, he would move for ad-
journment today, after raiding the
journal. until October IA, when all
members would be notified to be in
their seats and if they were not, it
would be necessary to bring them
here.
This drastic action would be taken.
he said, in order that the House might
be prepared for proper consideration
of the greatest appropriation bill in
the history of the world. amounting
to nearly $4,000. 100000, as an urgent
deficiency measure in support of its
military program.
He ESTIMATED that it would take
about. a week to pass this bill in the
House. While awaiting its return from
the Senate, he said, he would en-
deavor to maintain a quorum.
No Dependable Program.
In reply to questions as to what
his program was regarding a recess
or adjournment after passage of the
appropriation bill. Representative Rainey
refereed to the letter which Secretary
McAdoo had sent to the Senate finance
committee, saying that under the cir
Gums tanceS it was impossible for him
to state any dependable program at
this time. He assured the members
that IN his best judgment the revenue
bill will be passed before the Novem-
Der election.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY ON
THE ST. QUENTIN SECTOR, Octo-
Der 3.-The British troops smashed q
large and vital section of the Hin
denburg line today between St Quen-
tin and Cambria. They have occupied
many additional towns and villages
and 5000 prisoners and numerous
guns have been taken.
The battle was resumed at o'clock

Advance of Five Miles.
The advance has reached depth of
about five miles at it's apex, and it
follows that the principal Hindenburg
defenses here have been shattered. A
few hours may see the British all
way on the other side of the great
German defensive system.
In the battle between Cambria and
st. Quentin the Australians and Eng
lish were assisted by large numbers
of tanks, which carried out their
tasks with the customary efficiency.
Some few of these tanks were manned
by Americans, who had been attach
ed to British tank units.

10 Correspondence Of the Associated

are doing more constructive work in
France today than was ever done on
the Panama canal, stupendous as the
engineering project was, and more
also than was ever done in q day on
all the river and harbor work of the
United States. This comparison gives
some idea of the magnitude Of the
Army construction now going on In
Europe, exceeding the most gigantic
operations ever undertaken at home.
The Panama construction force was

Already it is running seventy saw
mills and 200 more are required to
keep up with the construction. With
this increase the engineering force
engaged on construction Will reach
more than twice as many as were e
largest previous constructive work
the United States ever undertook.
Travelling across France from the
seacoast one sees the magnitude OF
this American constructive work at
every hand, from the ten miles OF new
docks and piers at the ports. then the
American railway. telegraph and tele-
phone lines, vast areas OF warehouses,
shops and factories. and finally the
great stretches of military camps and
