House Committee
Billion Short Of Its
Eight Billion Goal

Washington, Aug. l0.--The house
ways and means committee tonight
is an even billion dollars short Of
its $S,000000,000 goal in the framing
of the tentative draft OF the revenue
bill.
Chairman Kitchin of the committee
expects to confer with Secretary Nc
Adoo next week before the bill is
given its final approval, and differ
ences between the treasury and the
committee regarding the excess
profits tax are expected to be
Strengthened out.
In considering how best to raise
the remaining billion dollars there
was renewed talk among committee
members today of the feasibility OF
gross sales tax. \ s....
There was also talk OF an excise
tax on tea, coffee and sugar A tax
of 3 cents a'pound on sugar and coffee
and 10 or IS cents a pound on tea,
it was stated, would produce between
S400,000,000 and $500,000,000.
Some members urged a resort to
the tariff, saying an increase in Gus
toms duties to produce 100000 900
should be adopted, but the commit
tee has been trying to avoid reaching
into the tariff.

GERMANS UNABLE
TO ORGANIZE FOR
COUNTER STROKE
Allied Pressure So Heavy as to
Give Enemy NJ Time
to Form Defensive
Lines.
By Associated Press.

London, Aug. l0.-The advance OF
the allied armies on the Picardy front
continued today, according to
the latest dispatches reaching London
this afternoon. Nowhere, it appears,
have the Germans yet been able to
organize for any severe counter
stroke.
No further count of prisoners had
come in at this hour, but the total is
probably mounting rapidly, because OF
the disorganization OF the Germans.
The allied casualties, including all
the killed, wounded and missing are
less than 5000, or nst more than one
fourth OF the number of prisoners
counted. On the other hand, the Ger
man casualties have been uemend-
ously heavy.
The guns captured by the allies are
now nearly 400 in number.
Eleven German divisions have been
not only defeated in the fighting OF
the last three days. but so utterly
crushed that the German higher COM
mand has been unable to make any
counter stroke anywhere.
The German communications have
been so disorganized that thus far
only two divisions OF reserves have
been identified and tbcse new troops
have not been able to make any inn
preston on the advancing allies.

Rainb0U Division
Proves Its MettLe
In Numerous BATTLES

Answering a question as to the
Forty-second divisions record, Gen
eral March today said:
,"The Rainbow division had its
combat training in the Lorraine
sector north of Luneville. 1t left
that position to arrive east of
Rheims where on July IS it helped
break the main German attack.
When the French-American count
er offensive was launched on the
Marne salient the division appeared
there shortly in relief of other
units. Our reports indicate the
following:
"In eight days of battle the For
ty-second division has forced the
passage of the Ourcq, taken prison.
ers from six enemy divisions, met,
routed, decimated a crack division
of the Prussian guards, a Bavarian
division and one other division and
driven back the enemy's lines for
16 kilometers."
