Novorossisk Fall Gives Nozis
Good Caucasus Advance Base
Port Must Be Supplied by SEQ, but Loss
Hampers Soviet Black Seq Fleet

removed to a port farther down the
coast, but all such ports are un-
satisfactory as regards shelter and
accommodations. The harbor of Ba-
tum, for example, is little better
than an open roadstead, and the
whole of it Is absolutely unsafe for
shipping during the westerly gales
of Black Sea winter. The harbor
of Poti affords better shelter from
these gales but is difficult to ap-
proach while they are blowing.
Sea-Borne Attack Unlikely.
There can be little doubt that the
loss OF Novorossisk has sharply re-
stricted the freedom of action of the
Black Sea fleet at the same time
that it has given the Germans their
first good advance base in the
Caucasian region. AS will be seen
from the foregoing discussion, these
two factors are interactive, and
each increases the value of the other
from the German point of view.
1t does not seem probable that
the Germans will attempt a sea-
borne attack on Batum from No
vorossisk; this, with the Black Sea
feet still In being, would appear to
be a risk hardly justified by exist
ing conditions. An attempt to push
down the coastal road from Novo-
rossisk toward Batum, supported by
inf1ltrations through the mountains,
is conceivable; but the first SHOWS
are falling in the Caucasus, the
passes will soon be choked with
snow, and all operations in this
terribly difficult country seems like
ly to become, If not impossible, at
least painful, uncertain and slow in
development.

Senators 10 Consider
Changes in Tax Bill
Still Short Of Goal
Advocates of Sales Levy
And RumI Plan See Some
indication of Revival
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Members of the Senate Finance
Committee, told by the Treasury
yesterday that their action on
the tax bill had added only
$3.50 100000 to the annual rev.
enue provided by the House, in
dicated they might consider fur
ther changes in the levies on in
dividuals.
With reopening of the tax
schedules which already have been
tentatively adopted, sales tax ad-
vocates hoped to revive a levy OF
this type and there we're indications
that modified version of the Ruml
pay plan might be con-
sidered.
In action yesterday the committee
cut $4,000 900 in potential revenue
off the bill by eliminating proposed
per cent tax on pari-mutuel wagers
and dropping from the House-ap-
proved figure of "a cents a pound
to Is cents the proposed tax on
smoking tobacco.
Senator Clark, Democrat of Mis-
souri,, said there was dispute as to
the amount of annual revenue in
volved in tax on wagering. He said
strong opposition was presented
against the tax by States in which
pari-mutuel betting is legalized.
Cigarette Tax Boosted.
The committee approved House
increase in cigarette taxes from the
present rate of $325 to $3.50 per
thousand and boosted the annual
tax on gaming devices such as slot
machines from $50 to 500. Little
revenue, was involved in the latter
action. -...
Seeking to make income tax treat
ment uniform, the committee voted
to permit citizens of Alabama,
Arizona, California, Illinois, Missis-
sippi, New Mexico, North Carolina
and Michigan to deduct from their
net income, for tax purposes, the
amounts paid in State sales taxes.
The wording of State laws had
caused the Treasury to deny such
deductions to taxpayers in those
States while granting 1t to others.
The committee voted to allow
firms constructing war plants to
take amortization credits currently.
1t revised the victory tax" to per-
NIT credits to be taken for debts
incurred up to September 1. 1912,
instead Of only those contracted
before January /. 1912.
Committee to Meet Tomorrow.
Calling meeting of the COM
nittee for tomorrow morning
Chairman George told reporters the
bill still was open to last minute
changes, but would not predict
whether any would be made.
He said the Treasury had esti-
mated that as the measure stood 1t
would raise s7,1oo 900, 600 more direct
revenue than the $4,000 900, ,ooC
provided by present laws. In addi-
ton, the Treasury would collect
about $1,10o o,Oo0, 900 from individuals
and $500, 10000 from corporations
annually which it would rebate
| later.

Delay Asked in Bon
On Coffee Glass Lids
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-The cof-
Zee industry today asked the War
Production Board for an extension
OF the october / deadline, after
which use of steel for lids on glass
coffee containers will be prohibited.
In a telegram to a board execu-
tive, George G. Thierbach, president
OF the National Coffee Association,
said the order would create "a purely
artificial shortage of coffee" unless
the coffee men were given time to
ind substitute containers.
Mr.. Thierbach said the WBP or
Ger would put out of use machinery
for 3o0,o0o,0o0 packages year and
pointed out that the industry had
gone to great expense" to convert
from tin cans to glass containers.

Kaiser Gift Heads
S5,OO0,0OO Drive for
Seamen's S Service
West Coast ShipbuiIder
Offers 5000 for Eoch
i Way in His Yards

Henry j. Kaiser, West Coast ship
builder. has offered to contribute
$1,000 for each of the shipways in
his three shipyards to the United
Seamen's Service, Inc, as start

initial S5,0o0,000 to provide rest,
recreation and recuperation facili-
ties for the men and officers of the
American Merchant Marine, the
War Shipping Administration re-
ported yesterday.
The Kaiser yards are at Swan Is
land, near Portland, Greg: Rich
nond, Calf, and Vancouver. Wash.
1t was stated that because of war
time restrictions the number of
shipways could not be announced.
Similar contributions probably
will be made by other shipyards
on the Pacific Coast in which Mr..
Kaiser has interests, an associate
stated.
Kaiser Made President.
Mr.. Kaiser accepted the presi-
dency of the USS at meeting held
here Friday, over which Admiral
Emory S. Land, war shipping ad-
ministrator, presided. The new Or
ganization Is sponsored by the Gov
eminent, shipbuilders and oper-
ators, maritime union leaders and
representatives Of American indus
try and finance.
Basil Harris, president OF the
United States Lines, and Frank j.
TAYLOR, president of the American
Merchant Marine Institute, agreed
TO canvass shipowners for contribu-
tions. MIR. Harris said his firm would
make a substantial contribution.
Joseph Curran, president of the
National Maritime Union, and Mat
thew Dushane, of the Seafarers' In
ternational Union, told the meeting
their organizations would make
large contributions.
Roosevelt Message.
/ During the session the USS was
turned over to private sponsorship,
and the delegates received the fol-
lowing message from President
Roosevelt:
I'm the newly organized United
Eeamen's Service, the people of our
country have an instrument through
which we may discharge a small
part of our debt to merchant sea-
men - the men who are vitalizing
the vast tonnage we are producing
to defend our way of life.
The men of our merchant marine
need facilities for rest and recrea-
ton, a chance to build up the
strength and fortitude necessary for
their hazardous journeys carrying
the implements of war to our fight
ing forces. Through the United
Seamen's Service, whose purpose
and aims I heartily endorse, rest,
recreation and recuperation centers
will be established for them. Friend
ly, human service will be ready for
them ashore.
THE United Seamen's Service is
an undertaking deserving the fullest
support of the American people. It,
commands the thoughtful consider
alton all of us want to show to our
merchant seamen."
