Attack a Surprise.


 With the French Army in :: France, Aug. 19 (Reuters) The battle has now extended to both banks of the Disc, and the enemy, hitherto front ing on the west, is now menaced on his southern flank. General Man gins whole objective has ben attain ed along the front of 10 miles.
 The enemy, although he seems to have been aware of the coming at tack, had again miscalculated the day and was in effect taken by surprise on a weakly-held front, the German com- manders apparently having no re- serves within call.
 The allies now command the valley along the whole of fits length. The enemy must accordingly withdraw all but his immediate fighting line behind the plateau on his side of the valley.
 The operation recalls in, scope and purpose General Mangin's attacks at the end of June on similar ground In the Coeuvres-St.. Pierre-Aigle valley south of Soissons, which gave General iMangin possession of the valley and then a footing on the heights above, affording him safe departure line flor his attack of July IS, while pos session of the valley enabled him to bring up tanks and muster reserves unobserved by the enemy. : :t

 Rates.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Disagree- ment arose again today between the treasur ydepartment and the house ways and means committee as to pro- visions of the new $S,000,000,0 re- venue bill, the treasury submitting a letter protesting against increases in the excess profits tax rates of the present law. F. hTecommittee and the treasury have reached an agreemnt as to an 80 per cent war profits tax based on pre- war enarnings, but have been unable to arrive at common understanding on the method of reaching excess pro- fits, which classification it should es- innate will affect only about 10 pes cent of the total corporations to be taxed
 The treasury has asked that the present excess profits law be in cluded in the new bill with an alter native war tax of 80 per cent.
 The committee has tentatively agreed to eight per cent exemption in addition to specific $3,O00 eXemIp- tion on excess profits, with a tax of forty per cent on profits between eight per cent and twenty per cent and a sixty per cent tax on all pro- fits exceeding twenty per cent.
 The comittee submitted it's decision to the treasury for it's views.
 The treasury today, in it's letter, which was not made public. stood firm in it's position in opposition to increase of excess profits tax.
 There was indications today. how
 
 crease the present rates by either the plan that was tntatively agreed upon or some modification.

- important town Of Rove, one of the pivotal points on the battle front be- tween the Somme and the Disc, but there is no official confirmation of this.
 Viewed on the war maps the gains in the new operations are most lmpor- tant one for the allies, for aside from wide areas over which the enemy has been compelled to acknowledge defeat defeat, the weakening in the German defense is becoming daily more noti- ceable and apparently within a short time they probably will be forced to commence retrograde movement on a scale that will mean the entire plotting out of old lines and the talk ing up of new ones to the east and southeast possibly from the region of Rheims to Ypres.
 The Lys salient is fast fading away under the attacks of the British and the voluntary retirement of the Ger mans to new defense positions east ward and seemingly the big westerly bulge into the allied line between Ypres and La Basse soon must disap- pear.
 Germans In Bad Predicament.
 Under the new gains of the British around Rove and particularly those made by the French from Lassigny to the Disc valley and northwest of Soissons, the Germans now are in a bad predicament. Here their positions are dominated by the allied guns from the west, southwest and south for many miles, and apparently retreat eastward across the plains of Picardy and over the Somme and even from the west ern Aisne will be necessitated.
 The latest herman official com muncation asserts that French at tacks between the Aisne and Disc de- livered over a wide front failed, but the French war office statement is specific in announcing the penerta- tion of the environs of Lassigny, the cutting of passage way through the Thiescourt wood and the capture of Pimprez.
 That there has been hard fighting however, is. indicated by the British official statement, which says that northwest of Chaulnes the Germans succeeded in penetrating the British line at several points but later were driven out.
 On the other battle fronts there is little activity, except in the nature of artillery duels and patrol encoun- ters.
