Preceding Its Pas
sage by House.

e Washington, Feb. 8.-The house
tonight concluded its work on the
record-breaking war revenue bill by
adopting, $40 to II, after six hours
discussion the conferees agreement
on the measure. 1t now goes to the
senate for final approval, which is
expected early next week.
The conference report, which
proposes to raise $6,000,000,000 in
taxes this year and more than
$4,000000,000 annually until re-
pealed, will be taken up by the sem
ate Immediately after disposal OF
the woman suffrage resolution Mon
day or if delayed, on Tuesday. Its
adoption by the senate and approv-
al by President Wilson are regard
ed as assured.
Levies Declared Too Low.
During debate in the house to-
day, democratic and republican
leaders joined in declaring the
bills tax levies were too low, both
for this year and 1920, and pre-
dicted that higher taxes must be
provided by the next congress.
Opposition to the report was not
based, however, on its tax imposts,
but to minor amendments, particu-
larly the child labor legislation. On
the final roll call seven democrats
Blackburn, Alabama; Dies and Ray
burn of Texas, and Humphreys, Sis

motion of Representative Venable to
recommit the bill and strike out the
child labor section was defeated,

Besides the child labor provision,
several house members criticised as
a "pittance" the 500 pay bonus pro-
vided for persons discharged from
service.
Kitchin for Higher Taxes.
Representative Kitchin, demo-
cratic leader, made the principal adj
dress commencing the bill as a
whole, but declaring it should have
imposed higher taxes and that it
would not meet future requirements.
He expressed the belief that ex-
penditures this year would total
S20,000,000000 and $10,000,000,000 in
1920, and that by the end Of the

MEASURES
HostiIities Cease When Allied
Council Takes Steps for
Protection Of Young Re-
public Of Poland.
By Associated Press.

Copenhagen, Feb, 8.-Negotia-
tions between Polish and German
emissaries looking toward a cessa-
ton of hostilities in German Poland
have resulted, according to advices
here, in an armistice, effective to-
morrow.
The reports add that there has
been violent fighting at several
points in the last few days. The
Poles are said to be concentrating
special storming troops for use in
Silesia. ..-. ..
Poles Advance in Silesia.
Warsaw, Feb. 8.-Czecho-Slovak
troops, according to reports re-
ceiyed here, continue to advance
through Silesia and now are along
the Vistula river, 80 miles from their
original starting point. It is said
that each time the Czechs halt they
ask for new armistice.
In view of these reports, much
doubt is expressed whether the
arrangements made by the peace
conference in Paris regarding the
Teschen district, in dispute between
the Poles and the Czechs, will bear
any fruit. Polish leaders are much
concerned as to whether the Czches
will be able to maintain possession
OF the territory which they have
taken.
Polish forces have occupied Bialy-
stok, about lis miles. northwest Of
Warsaw, and the danger from the
bolshevists is diminishing along the
Polish frontiers.
The Czechs continue their ad-
vance in Galicia.
