The fall of. Lille to the allies takes
from the Germans the last of their
great bastions which for four years
held up the enemy defensive system
from the north sea to Switzerland.
Cambria, Laon and st. Quentin have
been given up in the last few days and

and one of the great fortresses guard
ing the French frontier.
The old forts and citadel, however,
were built so many years ago that their
worth in modern warfare is doubtful.
Taken in First Hun Rush.
The city was taken by the enemy in
his first rush into France and until
within the last four weeks it never
had been threatened greatly by the
vance in Flanders, however, it has
become increasingly evident the Ger
mans would have to give up Lille. as
one of the steps in their retirement
from France and Belgium. The allied
advance in Flanders outfanked Lille
on the north and at once compelled
the Germans to draw their lines

Before the war Lille was the center
of the great manufacturing district
of northern France and was known
throughout the world for it's manu-
features Of flax and textiles. 1t had
Il population of nearly 100000 and
sent it's products to every corner of
the earth. The famous Isle thread
was manufactured there and from it
the familiar Isle hosiery and SIM
liar goods.
Also Great Railway Center.
With the towns of Tourcoing and
Roubaix the city also manufactured
machinery and steel and iron products
Of various kinds. In addition to its
industrial Importance Lille also is
great railway center and in the
midst Of highly developed system
Of canals. The city is handy to the
coal fields Of France and Belgium.
Lille was founded early in the four
teenth century and has since played
prominent part in the political and
commercial history of northern
France. 1t formerly was the capital
of French Flanders and now is the
capital of the department of the Nord.
Lille Is eight miles east of the Fran
co-Belgian frontier and with Tourco-
ing and Roubaix occupies a little an
gle of French territory which is hor-
dered on the east and north by Bel

Eighty Per Cent War
Profits Tax Proposed

Washington, Aug. 7.-The house
ways and means committee today stood
to write an eighty per cent war profits
tax in the new revenue bill, after once
practically rejecting the proposition.
The committee 5 "turn about on the
war profits tax means that Secretary
Of the Treasury McAdoo has won out in
his first skirmish with the congress as
to what will go into the bill
The treasury proposition is that either
the 30 to so per cent excess profits tax
or the war profits tax alone in the bill
allows the escape of some who should
pay. Both plans in the bill. operating ON
alternative basis, will catch everybody,
the treasury holds.
The committee has also decided the
rates on incomes abouve 100000 so that
these taxes will range from so to rs per

was nothing to do but count them.
In 1917 the ten cents per scalp law
was still in effect and the fund fol-
that year amounted to $4l25.00. The
hunters of moles, gophers and graydig
gers found it quite a fine business al
ten cents head and again in 1917
the funds had been paid out by May
/, and Al ,250 scalps had been counted
and collected in the office of county
clerk.
But the 1917 legislature was inform
ed that the bounty Of ten cents scalp
was such that the funds in most of the
counties were soon exhausted and in
order to keep up the business through
out the year, the tax assessment had
to be raised, or the amount of the
bounty reduced. The legislature fig
ured it would be safer to reduce the
bounty and hence it was reduced to
five cents per scalp. AT ten cents a
scalp the funds had lasted only four
months in 1917, and there was no
money to pay out in Marion county af-
ter May /, of that year.
This year with only five cents boun-
ty per scalp, business has not been so
rushing as there was no hurry as in
former years when many appeared at
the office of the county clerk with a
fine string of sealps only to hear the
sad news that the funds had all been
paid out and that no more would be
available that year.
January of this year was the bes.
month for business from the stand
point of mole, gopher or graydigger
scalps. In that month the county clerk s
office paid out $l,l4655. In February
last, business dropped to payments
amounting to $20S.95 at five cents per
scalp, March showed a continued fall
ing off in business as only $16S.30 was
paid out, and in April only SS3.75, But
as the payments were only five cents
per scalp, business was really as good
as in former years when it came to
the number Of sealps received.
During May $l4S.05 was paid from
and in June, the sum was $l42,45. An
other low ebb, from the standpoint of
money pald out was In July or tins
year when the amount was $l27.S0.
But the number actually counted has
been almost equal to former years and
there is money in the treasury on Aug
ust /, 1918 with barely half of the
mole, gopher and graydigger fund paid
out. To be exact, there is now exact
ly $2l65 of this fund on hands to pay
out for sealps at the rate of five cents
a head. All of which means that 42,700
sealps may be brought to the office of
the county clerk this year and there
will be money in the fund to pay the
regulation five cents per scalp,
Since the legislature enacted the law
in 1915, bounty has been paid on 16S,
400 gopher, mole and graydigger sealps
in Marion county,
