Over a front of so miles from the
region of Arras to Peronne, Field
Marshal Haig's forces have literally
smashed the German front.
The southern portion of the famous
Drocourt- -Queant switch line which
had been heralded as the impregnable
bulwark of the German defense in the
north has given way under the vio-

PRICE OF 1919
wheat FIXED At
S2.2o BY WILSON
Disinterested Commission Will
Be Appointed in Spring to
Investigate Justification
of Increase. 49,.

Washington, Sept. by procla-
nation issued today President Viii
son set $2.20 bushe1 as the mini
mum price guaranteed by the govern
ment for the 1919 wheat crop.
A disinterested commission, the
president stated, will be appointed
next spring to see whether the in
creased cost of farm labor and sup
plies would justify an increase above
that price.
Possibility OF peace before the mid
die of 1920 was indicated in men,
orandum written by the president and
accompanying the proclamation, as a
factor in determination of the presi-
dent to maintain the present price for
the 1919 crop.
"In giving a guaranteed price for
wheat one year in advance (the only
industry guaranteed by the govern
menD, there is involved consider
able national risk" the president said.
Huge Loss Possible.
"If there should be peace or in
creased shipping available before the
middle of 1920, Europe will naturally
supply itself from the large stores of
much cheaper wheat now in the
southern hemisphere; and, therefore,
the government is undertaking risk
which might, in such an event, re-
suit in a national loss of as much as
$5O000000O through an unstable
surplus; or, in any event, in maintain
ing high level of price to our own
people for a long period subsequent
to freedom in the worlds markets"
The proclamation fixes as reason
able guaranteed prices for No. !

alents at the principal primary mar
kets the following:

invested by the. British and French
armies, while north of Soissons the
French and Americans are in posi-
tions of vantage from which they
carry out turning movements which
will outfank Laon and the Chemin-
Des-Dames and Aisne lines. The
situation of the enemy, viewed from
the war maps, is the most perilous he
has yet been in.
Flanders Sore" Spot.
Added to the troubles of the Ger
man high command is the situation
that is fast developing in Flanders,
in the region around Ypres, where
the Germans daily are being forced
out of their positions by the British
and American troops. All over this
sector steady progress is being made
eastward in the blotting out of the
salient that has long existed there.
The Americans who took Voorme-
zeele Sunday, now are well into the
region east of the town, having over
come the strong resistance OF the
Germans who endeavored to bar their
way. A few more strides by Haig's
men in this region and Armentieres
will be within striking distance. AT
ter Armentieres it is but a step to
Lille.
Hard fighting has been in progress
between the British and Germans
around Peronne, where the Austral-

ians successfully withstood violent at
tacks and have taken several thous-
ands of prisoners. Between Peronne
and Bapaume the Germans also have
imposed strong opposition to the
British, but the St Pierre-Vaast wood,
Letransloy and Allaines and Haut-
Allaines all have been successfully
carried.
On Road to Ham.
On the southern end of the front
the French have made another i'm
portant crossing of the Canal Du
Nord, this time east of Nestle, which
places them we'll on the road to Ham,
the last remaining important point in
the Somme-Oisc sector with lines
leading from it to st. Quentin and
LaFere.
North of Soissons equally impor-
tant progress has been made. Here,
where the Americans are i'll line with
the French, gains have been made on
the plateau east of Crecy-Au-Mont
and Juvigny and the villages of
Leuilly and Terny Sorny have been
taken, notwithstanding stubborn re-
sistance.
These gains, If they are continued,
seemingly cannot but result shortly
in the enemy Withdrawing northward
from the Velse river positions he
holds and reconstituting his entire
front to Rheims.

REVENUE BILL TO
YIELD Big sum OF
$8,O12,792,00O
Will be introduced in House
Today for Consideration
Friday; Great In
crease Over 1917.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The new
revenue bill, with a levy, affecting
every individual and business con-
Germ in the country, was approved
unanimously today by the house
ways and means committee. Chair
man Kitchin will introduce it in the
house tomorrow and ask for consider
alton Friday, Leaders hope to send
it to the senate within 10 days after
debate begins.
The final committee estimate Of
the revenue to be yielded under the
new bill is $s,0l2,792,000, as against
$3,94l ,633,000 last year, under the
present law. The largest source of
estimated revenue is from taxes OH
excess profits, including war profits
$3, 100, ,000-and the next is from taxes
on incomes-$l ,4S2 10000 from indi-
viduals and $828000,000 from cor
porations.
The exemptions under the new bill
are the same as under the old, $1,000
for single persons and $4,000 for
married persons with 5000 additional
allowed for each dependent child un-
der 18 years old. An exemption of
| $500 for each dependent incapable of
self-support because of mental or
physical disability also is allowed.
Provisions of Bill.
The report, which will be made
public tomorrow by Chairman
Kitchin,' explained the provisions of
the bill in detail. 1t said the COM
mittee determined what proportion OF
the cost of the war this year should
be financed by taxation and by bonds,
not from previous experience, as there
was no analogy in history, but upon
thorough consideration Of the effect
on the morale of the people upon
price imitation, upon production, and
upon relative ability of the people to
pay taxes now and after the war.
The committee explained that IL
had decided upon the raising of $8,-
OOO,O0O,00O by taxation because it had
accepted as a sound fiscal policy the
recommendation of Secretary Nc.
Adoo that one-third of the govern.
ment's estimated expenditures of $24,,

With the American Army In
France, Sept. 2.-The American troops
reached the embankments of the
Bethune- -Soissons roadway late Sun
day night by literally cutting their
way through acre after acre Of barbed
wire--the work of two great armies.
In gaining the road the Americans
passed over great open places con-
sisting of an immense network OF
wire.
The first wire entanglements had
been stung by the French. Then the
Germans came along and for their
own protection erected an additional
wire system.
Yanks Hold Objectives.
The American spearhead east OF
Juvigny was driven across the
Bethune- Scissors roadway by a great
early morning hammer blow, and the
Americans spread in great semi
circle and held their objective.
In the face of machine gun and air
plane fire. the Americans began a
powerful night assault from the
Bethune-Soissons roadway, which
they reached Sunday. They held the
roadway until after dark, despite ma.
chine gun fire from the high points
ahead and enfladed by machine guns
from the south in the direction OF
Terrny-Sorny. The attack carried
them to the De Castillo trench, more
than half a kilometre east Of the road
