Washington, Aug. 14.-An insistent
demand for high tax on ai-war pro
fits as the basic principle of the ra'7
$4,000, ,OuUOOO war fIevenae on ".
made by Secretary OF the Treasury
McAdoo in a four-hour conference to-
day with the House Ways ana Means
Committee The Secretary advocated
a tax of so per cent FIAT on war pro
fits and the retention of the existing
graduated tax on excess profits, with
notifications to make it equitable.
Under the scheme outlined by Mr.
McAdoo and urged as imperative TO
yield $4,000, 100000 revenue for 1919,
all corporations profting through war
industry would be subject to az al
ternative tax. Under the existing law
Mr.. McAdoo pointed out, many power
ful corporations escape their proper
tionate share of the taxation, while
weaker concerns are over taxed He
wanted the schedule readiusted so
that the richer corporations would
bear the brunt Of the tax.
Secretary McAdoo also discussed
the contemplated income tax, urging
not alone that the present tax on nor
nal incomes be retained. but also
that there be substantial increase,
and that high rate be applied to all
unearned incomes. He also favored
an appreciable tax on luxurics.
Mr. McAdoo's suggestions hi

GERMANS HOLD CHAULNES
On Central Part OF Battlefront Enemy
Continues to Deliver Counter
Attacks.

Paris, Aug. l5.-North and south Of
the Somme the Germans have lost fur
ther important ground. In the former
region they have evacuated their
positions over a -fve-mile front to the
British north of Albert, while in the
latter they have been beaten back in
the hilly and wooded district just
north OF the Disc river by the French
German front line trenches at Beau
mont Hamel, Serre, Buisieuxau-Mont
and Bucquoy have been found unten.
able by the enemy in the face of the
recent activity by the British along
the line from Albert TO Arras, while
the French have preserved in their vio-
lent attacks against the Germans on
the sector which dominates the lower
portion OF the Picardy plain and the
Disc valley and have encroached fur
ther upon the Lassigny massif and
Theiscourt plateau and farther south
have captured the important town OF
Ribecourt.
Unofficial reports have announced
the capture of Lassigny by the French
and of all the German positions be
tween the western outskirts OF Bray
sur-Somme and Etinehem by the Aus
tralians. These Is, however. no Off
cial confirmation of them.
From the Somme TO the Disc, ex
cept in the latter region, where the
French have made further gains, the
Germans seemingly have had further
success in holding back the allied
troops and still are in possession OF
Chaulnes and Roye, upon the capture
of which the efforts OF the British and
French have been centered. On this
central part of the battlefront the
enemy continues to deliver violent
/ counter attacks and also has further
reinforced his line with men and guns
and issue them without stint to re
tain his positions, realizing that their
capture would spell disaster.
The giving up of front line trench
es north of Albert possibly may mean
that the German high command fore
sees the ultimate success OF the
American and British operations
along the Somme and is readjustine
the German positions TO meet any
eyentuality In any event the retro
grade movement seemingly indicates
that the ten.mile salient between
Beaumont Hamel and Bray, on the
Somme, with Albert its apex, now
must give way in order that the Ger
mans front here may come into align
ment with that in the south across
the Somme In fact, II seems not i'm
/ probable that the Germans purpose
TO readjust their front from the Som
me to Arras, and possibly further
northward.

very serious for us and the. Allies,
Italy particularly being entirely de-
pendent on Great Britain for coal and
France largely dependent, while Of
course our own enormous output of
war material depends upon coal.
There are other cases in which the

some hundreds of men, recently re-

WILSON
APPOINTS DRAFT
DAY OVER i. s.
Those Il Since June 5 Must
. Register Aug. "a.
EXPECTS 10000 ON LIST
Those Unable on Account of Sickness
to Register in Person May
Deputize Someone.

Washington, Aug. 14--iiecause mon
are being sent to training camps so
rapidly that Glass / of the draft is
practically exhausted and must be re-
plenished to meet the calls for Sep
tember, President Wilson today is-
sued a proclamation fixing Saturday,
August "a for the registration Of al
who at that time shall have reached
the age of Il years since June 3.
After that, 1t is likely that there will
be weekly registration of all who
reach q during the week.
During September the Provost
Marshal General must furnish 2O0,-
600 men to the training camps. The
number in prospect from which to
meet that call is only little more
than 100000 The deficiency is ex-
pected to be met through the regis
tration to be held August "a
Provost Marshal General Enoch
Crowder said tonight:
"The registration on Aug "a should
not be confused with the larger regis
tration which must be undertaken af-
ter Congress has acted on the legisla-
tion now pending increasing the age
limits.
"Or the basis of the registration on
June last of those who had become
21 years of age since June 5, 1917, it
is estimated that approximately 1885,
900 will have reached that age BE-
tween June 5, 1918, and Aug. "a, 1918.
or this number, judging by previous
experience, something over $50 per
cent should be availab for Glass l.
1T is strongly urged that all young
men who will be affected by this reg.
istration ascertain from their local
boards or from the local boards OF the
towns where they expect TO be On

for registration. Those unable. on ac.
