Mr. Kitchin said the United States could finance the war hy taxation better than C.reat liritain, France and (lermanv combined could. He said the time might come when high consumption taxes would be nec essary and if it ever did come the American people wou!d be ready to give up all profits and all incomes over living expenses to win the war. In taking up the bill by sections, the chairman explained the income tax, and replying to questions said a married member of congress would pay 4470 out of his salary of $7,500. "How about a single member?" asked Representative Denison of Ill inois. "For being unmarried, you must pay $550" rejoined Mr. Kitchin. Greater surtaxes on income were not provided by the bill, Mr. Kitchin said in answer to Representative Moore of Pennsylvania, because high er rates the maximum now being 65 per cent on incomes of $5,000,000 tni:ht cause the purchase of tax-free securities, and also adversely afTect the market for government bonds The largest income of anv American citien, he added, is $JO,(MM).000.

British posts west of the Canal Du Xord, north of Jnchy, have been pushed forward, but patrols on the west bank of the canal were heavily fired upon from the east bank. One of the British patrols crawled across a damaged bridge and came upon an enemy outpost asleep. The British pounced upon the sleeping Germans and captured three. Using Up Gas Shells. In the north, where the British are reported to be making advances, more fires are raging. In many places north of the Sensee river the Ger mans for several hours have been firing thousands of gas shells, so in discriminately as to make it appear that they are trying to get rid of them. A number of fires have been re ported in the area south of the Es-taires-Armentieres road. There have been three counter-attacks against Hill 63 and the surrounding positions. Two of those broke down completely, but during the third, north of the hill, the British were compelled to fall back slightly. Further north the British reacHied the crest of the important ridge northwest of Wulvergheni, but were unable to make further progress for a time because of the heavy enemy machine, gun and trench mortar fire. Still further north piece after piece of ground is being regained. The British have reached Canteleaux and are pushing on toward Violaines. Weak enemy counter-attacks south of I'loegsteert were easily smothered. German Machine Gun Defense Fails to Slow Up Pace of Americans American Headquarters in France Sept. 6. (Reuter's.) The Germans are across the river Aisne and this time they made no attempt to veil their retirement or even exact ordin ary penalties for the advance of the Americans. The opposition which they put up between the Vesle and the Aisne was slight. The Aisne region was illuminated last night by stores and villages set afire by the Germans to celebrate their final retirement from this part of their captured territory. The machine guns left behind to check the American advance were quite Inadequate even to slow up the pace. Further east the French are up against stiffer resistance, but the Americans everywhere have gained the crest of the hills. Library Course Reduced.
