TREASURY PLAN
 N0ULDPR0DUCE
 MORE REVENUE
Secretary McAdoo Says It
 Would Bring In Between
 Three and Four Billion More Than Committees
IRe publican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Aug. Secretary McAdoo laid before the house ways and means committee today his plan for an excess profits tax with an alter native war profits >levy to be included in the new revenue bill. The plan pro- poses the retention of existing rates in the present excess profits law with the alternative application of an excess profits tax with a maximum of 80 per cent, affecting about 90 per cent of all the business corporations coming un- der this schedule.
 Secretary McAdoo estimated that the treasury plan would produce from $500. 900 to s400000000 more than under the plan tentatively agreed 10 by the committee recently.
 No Bayonets For Each Other At the conclusion of the conference, Secretary McAdoo and Chairman Kit chin joined in the prediction that they would get together on a plan and Sec retary McAdoo added that you can see that MT. Kitchin and I have no bayonets for each other"
 Some facts entirely new to the com | mlttee bearing on the question were submitted by the treasury with the re- suit that tonight the outlook is that either the treasury department plan will be adopted or that a compromise embodying most of the substantial principles of the treasury plan will be agreed to-
 Bill Still Falls Short Despite this agreement and the in- creased revenue claimed for the treas ury plan, which Secretary McAdoo said would take care of exceptional cases like the Ford industry, some of the Standard oil subsidiaries and others 1t was stated tonight, that the bill stil falls short to the extent of beweer $500, 100000 and $1,000,000,000 of the sS,000, 100000 sought. A port tax or tea, coffee, cocoa. sugar bananas and other tropical fruits. coming through the ports may have to be resorted to it was said. or some other new tax fea- ture considered.
 The first break in the committee oc- cured when Representative Rainey O Illinois. after making a stand for in crease of the taxes on estates in exces: of s1,000,000. and being voted down announced that he would carry on tho fight on the floor of the house.

MEXICO DOES NOT
 RECOGNIZE RIGHT
 TOPROTEsT DECREE
TRepubIIcsn A. p. Leased Wire1

MEXICO CITY. Aug. 14-Replying to | a protest from Great Britain against provisions of the oil decree of February | 22. which was declared to be confis- | catory and in violation of the rights of English companies holding oil claims, l the Mexican government has declared that it does not recognize the right of any foreign government to protest against decrees of this nature.
 Suggests Court Procedure
 It holds that the Mexican govern ment is free to adopt such fiscal legis lation as is necessary. It suggests tha recourse to the courts would be the proper method of determining whether the oil land decree is unjust and con fiscatory.
 WASHINGTON. Aug 14-So far from mitigating the severity of the original decree of February 2 last i'm posing new taxes and restrictions upon the foreign owners and operators of oil properties in Mexico. in the opinion Of officials here, the reply of the Mexican government to the British protest l against that decree has only added to its obnoxious nature.
 Affects American Interests | Although Secretary Aguilars note is | directed to the British government it l is said that it's substance is of equal | application to the American oil inter l ests.
 Some time ago American interests. with the knowledge and sympathetic support of the state department sent representatives to Mexico with the purpose of arriving at an amicable ad- l justment of the grave issues arising | from the determination of the Mexican 1 government to enforce this new oil decree It was hoped if the Mexican | government was disposed to be at all | fair in its treatment of the Americans who had invested so heavily in the de- velopment of the Mexican oil proper | ties it would be possible to arrange new scale Of taxation.
 Changes Original Purpose
 Following discouraging reports from these personal representatives of the oil interests, the letter of Secretary ] Aguilar in answer to the British pro test is taken as conclusive evidence that the Mexican government has not in any degree changed it's original pur- pose to carry out the decree, not only as to English properties but as to American and all other foreign in terests.
 The Mexican denial of the right of any foreign government to protest automatically against mistreatment Or of injustice committed against it's cit- zens has not infrequently been set up by other Latin American countries but has always been firmly refused by the United States.
 From the tone of the Mexican reply it is fully expected that there will be no further delay in the enforcement of the decree. vA

 During tho day our troops, con tinuing their progress between the Matz and the Disc. took Ribecourt. East of eelval our infantry ele- ments, having discovered prepara- tions for a German counter attack, succeeded in taking as prisoners seven officers of whom two were battalion commanders, and cer- tain number of soldiers.

French Capture Important Town
Hold Back Allied Troops


 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.
 From the Somme to the Disc. except 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 anS Rove, upon the capture of which the efforts of the British and French have centered.
 On this central-part of the battle front the enemy continues to deliver violent counter attacks and also has further reinforced his line with men and guns and is using them without | stint to retain his positions, realizing | that their capture would spell disaster See Ultimate Success of Allies | The giving up of front-line trenches north of Albert may mean the Germans | foresee the ultimate success of the American and British operations along | the Somme. In any event the retro. grade retirement seemingly indicates that the ten-mile salient between Beaumont, Hamel and Bray-sur- Somme, with Albert it's apex, next give way in order that the German from here may come into alignment with that in the south across the Somme Probably the German purpose is to re adjust their front from the Somme tC Arras.
 Makes Important Epoch
 The capture of Ribecourt by tht French marks an important epoch 1T The offensive which has for it's i'm mediate purpose the freeing of tn region between the Somme and thu Oisne. As a gain from the strategi standpoint it ranks with the taking b, the French of the forest and hill posi- tons between the Matz and the Disc which has brought the French almos to the gates of Lassigny. Througl Ribecourt lies an open route up tn, Disc Valley to Noyon-a route by raj and the big national thoroughfare, no to mention the canal which parallel the roadways for the greater part o the way.

Officials Anticipate Com
 plete Change in Fighting,
 Foch's Army Assuming Offensive in Fullest Sense
TRepublioan A. p. Leased WIreJ

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14-A new drive against the German positions either in Flanders or between the Disc and Soissons is expected by many ar my officers here as a result of the slowing up of the advance in the Pi- cardy theater.
 Outlining the situation at this mid week conference today, General March. chief of staff. confined his statements to pointing out that the Germans have now been pushed back until they are not within 50 miles of Paris at any point.
 The head of the army has previously laid stress on the fact, however, that the greatest advantage won by Mar shal Foch in military way is in hay ing wrested the initiative from the en emy. The opinion prevails among other officers that the present struggle around Rove and Lassigny would soon terminate in the capture of those points, to be followed'by the taking of Noyon.
 Illinois Guardsmen in Picardy
 General March said that General Pershing now has 1,250000 American troops organized into the first army corps. Presumably the Americans on the British left flank in Picardy, iden- tified by the chief of staff as the One Hundred Thirty first infantry of the Thirty third 0llinois) national guard division, are among those still brigaded for training
 It appeared possible to some off cers that the organization of the first American army might be followed by an all-American attack at some point on the line which it holds beyond Yer dun, where there has been no recent | fighting
 Primary Purpose Realized
 The primary purpose of the two blows Marshal Foch has struck ha: been realized Both in the Aisne Marne battle and again in Picardy thu attacks were defensive measures tt | free Paris from the menace of the twt wedges the enemy had driven in tha direction. The value of the drives il this respect was pointed out by Gen eral March today.
 Officers here, therefore, anticipate complete chahge in the character O the fighting in the next phase of tn battle with Foch's army assuming tn offensive in the fullest sense of tn word and striking to force the enem back in such manner that he canno avail himself of his old Hindenbur line defcnses.
 It appears very probable to some oh servers that the FlahGers front mgh see the next blaze kindled with a dou ble drive by British forces to pinch ou the salient there as it has been pinche out at the Marne and again in Picardy
