Newspaper Page Text2 SENATE REJECTS ALTERNATIVE TAX HOUSE PROPOSED WASHINGTON. Oct. 32.—The senate finance committee today rejected and eliminated from the >8.000.1)00.000 war tax bill the alternative war and excess profits feature written into it by the house. The committee adopted an amendment which- still provides for war and excess profits, but which does not give the taxpayer an alternative meth od of computing his tax. nor the treas ury department discretion to say whether a concern shall pay war or ex cess profits taxes. The senate amendment will reduce slightly the aggregate amount to be collected from war and excess profits. It reduces somewhat the excess profits rates in accordance with the views of Secretary McAdoo, who has vigorously urged that the excess profits rates pro vided for vb the house be lowered. Under the house plan a concern would pay whichever of the two taxes war profits or excess profits—was higher. The senate plan provides that upon excess profits up to 20 per cent, a SO per cent tax shall be raid, and on excess profits of over 20 per cent, a tax of 60 per cent. YOU CAN'T FIND INY DANDRUFF.

JUSTIIIL REPORT I AMSTERDAM, Oct. 23 —The Austrian authorities in the part of Poland occu pied by the Austrian armies have for mally handed over the administration to the Polish authorities, says a Vi enna dispatch to the Vossische Zeitung, i of Berlin. The German and Austrian govern ; ments early in the year agreed to givt. independence to former Russian Po land. The step now taken bv Austria probably is in keeping with the agree ment. The portion of Russian Poland oc cupied by Austrian troops probably is not very great. GERMAN AUSTRIAN DEPUTIES FORM OWN ASSEMBLY Oct. 23.—The German-Aus trian deputies in the Austrian reichs rath have formed an assembly for the purpose of conducting the affairs of the Germanic people in Austria and have issued a declaration announcing the creation of the "German state ot Aus tria.’’ Karl Zeitz, leader of the German So cialists in Austria, has been elected president of the new assembly. The deputies have announced their desire to I bring about the autonomy of the Ger- I mans in Austria and to establish rela tions with other nations, the assembly I has drawn up a resolution respecting the form of government of the terrl- I tory occupied by Germans. The "German ' state of Austria” will seek access to the I Adriatic sea, in agreement with other • nations. Pending the establishment of a 1 constitution, according to this program, the people will be represented by the reichstath deputies constituted as a provisional national assembly. This body will represent the Germans in Austria in negotiations for peace and will ex ercise legislative powers. The executive branch will consist of twenty members who will have power to contract state debts and administer interior affairs. There has been evidence for some time that the German people in Austria, distrusting the wavering policy of the Austro-Hungarian empire and fearing its dissolution or that it might draw away from Germany, were desirous of ensuring their own close unity with the German empire. The German population in Austria forms the center of Austrian society and is the largest of the many eth nical elements in the kingdom. The cen sus of 1910 gave the German-speaking population as 9,950,000, out of a total of 28.325.000. HUNGARY AND AUSTRIA IN CAMOUFLAGE PLOT? WASHINGTON, Oct 23.—Hungary, “essentially Germanized.” is working hand in hand with Austria to prevent disruption of the dual monarchy and the military defeat of the central powers, according to advices from Rome today, that the recent manifesto announcing the actual separation of the Hungarian government, including its army and its The belief was expressed in Rome diplomatic corps, from Austria, was but a link in an extended plan of the Ger manized Hapsburgs to deceive the en tente and the oppressed nationalities of the conglomerate empire. MEASURES TAKEN FOR HUNGARIAN INDEPENDENCE PARIS, Oct. 23. —(Havas.) —Measures are being taken to carry into effect the proclamation of Emperor Charles con ferring independence on Hungary, says a Zurich dispatch to the Petit Parisien. It is reported that Count Julius An drassy will be the Hungarian foreign minister. Hitherto Austria and Hungary, al though having separate ministries for the administration of Internal affairs, have had one minister in common for each of the departments of foreign af fairs. war and finance. Count Andrassy is a former premier of Hungary and has figured prominently in efforts toward peace. SAYS PRESIDENT F.AIM TO ANSWER QUESTIONS BASEL. Tuesday, Oct. 22. —Official comment in Vienna on President Wil son’s answer to the Austrian note ex press a complaint that it does not an swer the precise question put forward, and that it is necessary to again ask the president's attitude toward an ar mistic and the re-establishment of peace, according to advices received from the Austrian capital It is added that officials say there is a contradiction in the reasons given by Mr. Wilson in justifying his refusal to enter into peace negotiations and his an swer to Baron Burian on September 15. Herr Erzberger Sang Different Tune in 1915 LONDON, Oct. 23.—it is recalled by the correspondent at Berne of the Times that Mathias Erzberger, leader of the German centrists and a member ot the government formed to convince the outside world of the peace-loving character of this government, in a newspaper article written in February, 1915, expressed sentiments quite the contrary to those he is now supposed to entertain. He wrote: “The greatest ruthlessnss is in real ity the greatest humanity. If it should be possible to destroy the whole of London that would be more humane than to allow one of our fellow coun trymen to bleed to death on the battle field, because such a radical cure would lead most speedily to peace. “England has stolen from us more than 400 merchant ships. The answer to this should be mat for every Ger-« man merchantman one English town or village will be destroyed by our I airmen.” The German newspapers are laying | ffreat stress on the supposed attitude lof Herr Erzberger on the peace ques tion. They refer at length to his plan F 'or a league of nations. HICKOMT CANT KOK FOCH GREENSBORO. N. C..

Freeman, of Wetumpka, Ala., and Cleveland C. Frost. Berea, Ky. The Ticonderoga, formerly the Ger man steamer Camilla Rlckmers, was torpedoed almost 1,700 miles from shore and the only known survivors were three officers and five men of the crew.

LUXEMBURG MAY JOIN ALLIES AFTER WAR’S CONCLUSION WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—Luxemburg, from which Germany is drawing iron for munitions, will cut itself free from German domination and join the allies after the war, according to diplomats here today. Allied military successes may make this possible earlier. Information leading to this conclusion has been received in official quarters here, it is stated. After the war Luxemburg will be either: 1. An independent state under pro tection of the league of nations, or, 2. A province of Belgium adjoining Belgian Luxemburg. Nominally an independent grand duchy, Luxemburg has been held vassal by Germany for years because of her extensive iron mines which have fed the Krupp munition factories and made possible Germany’s super-preparedness program. Misled by a pro-German court, the people of Luxemuurg have now appealed to President Wilson for protection and have demanded that the German armies evacuate her territory which was over run at the outbreak of the war in vio lation of a neutrality treaty. Popular resentment was long held in check by the grand duchess. who sanctioned the marriage of ner sister to Prince Rupprecht, Bavarian crown prince. But dispatches here indicate the par liament is striving to cut loose from Germany and join the allies. They have demanded an explanation of the mar riage allying their court with that of the kaiser. Popular indignation is high, reports indicate. Luxemburg contains a percentage of French and Belgian population and French is spoken among the educated classes and dominates the peasant dia lects, experts say. Germany signed treaties in 1867 and in 1902 guaranteeing neutrality of Luxemburg and promising not to use her railroads for troop movements. JJut without a seaport, Luxemburg was forced into the German customs union an|d German tariffs were exacted on all goods coming into her borders. She was thus forced into economic de pendence on Germany, having few man ufactures and being forced to take Ger man goods in exchange for iron, coal and farm produce. Allied military successes have en couraged parliamentary leaders in Lux emburg to protest against German usurpation. The tiny country is with out a large military force and will be helpless to defend herself against Ger many until allied successes push the kaiser’s hordes from her border. Her vast mineral resources and agri cultural products will be of great aid to allied peoples nearby and she would in turn have better access to the sea by obtainoing free passage through Bel gium and France, diplomats point out. GERMANS DEMAND GALLOWS FOR WAR INCITING JUNKERS AMSTERDAM. Oct. 22. (British Wireless Service.)—German provincial and socialist newspapers continue their campaign against the “chief culprits” responsible for the war. The Frank ische Tagespost, of Nuremburg, the the first paper in Germany to demand openly the abdication of the emperor, declares that the accession of the crown prince is entirely out of the question. “The German people are searching for the guilty,” says the Volks Zei tung, the organ of the Nuremburg so cialists. “The pan-Germans and junkers are silent today, but we do not forget that they are the great war inciters in Germany, that they remain the sup port of social and political reaction and that they are a menace to the future healthy development of the German empire". The Pan-German policy has gone bankrupt, but unfortunately it has led the German people to disaster. “To the gallows with the guilty, who ever they may be”’ The socialist Arhelter Zeitung. of Vi enna. urges the German socialists to punish the "chief culprits without Germany,” adding: "When the German soldiers return home from the trenches, after four years of unparalleled suffering, there will be a reckoning for the neonle who hnve led them to this catastronh" The Gorman people wll Isweep a wav the (linkers and tnke its own destiny into its own hands,” WHWW.S'T* JfW.niw matt-S WASHINGTON, Oct. ?2 --All printed matter nut opt h’- or in th- io’crpof r,r •he Trdustria!

Postmaster General Burleson ♦ndiy ngjrified nostmastors not to each such m:?,ter destined for Canad OLD HICKORY MEN HAD GLORIOUS PART IN GREAT ADVANCE WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Oct. 23.—The story of the part the Americans played in the re cent fighting has been obtained by a half day’s journey into the wrecked country beyond the Hindenburg line. The battle, in which the Americans participated, lasted three days, begin ning at 5:20 Thursday morning, when with the British on either side of them, they attacked from the St. Souplet line (south of Le Cateau) on a front of 5,- 000 yards (nearly three miles), without artillery preparations. Tanks manned by Americans were important factors. The position from which they at tacked was on a ridge west of the Selle river. Their objective was the ridges beyond, including a valley more than a mile wide. The river was irom six to twenty feet wide and three feet deep. There were Germans behind the first ridges. Beyond the river were new trenches. A heavy morning fog Thursday hid the German machine guns and almost caused the tanks to lose their way. The German resistance was bitter. It began simultaneously with the attack when they let down a heavy barrage that lasted 36 hours. It included gas and was directed at St. Souplet and the line of villages on either side. Five German divisions, including the famous third naval, and elements of six others, participated in the fight ing along the American second corps front, of which the New Yorkers had the left wing and Carolina and Tennessee troops the right The f'rst day, the German naval di vision attacked from the left and an other division from the right. Fight ing continued by moonlight. When one battalion established head quarters at L’Arbre de Guise (a mile east of St. Souplet) the major used a tank for an office. Molain, St. Mar tin-Riviere and L’Arbre de Guise were captured the first day in a two-mile advance. The river was waded in some places and in others was crossed on bridges built by the engineers. The day before the attack a party of 23 had waded the river, captured 3) Germans and dragged them back. Val uable information was obtained from these prisoners. At 7 o’clock on the first day the en gineers engaged in building bridges for the artillery under shell fire were em barrassed by prisoners who had sur rendered to the tanks which had plunged on ahead. On the second day the Germans held strongly until the middle of the after noon when they broke and gave ground The British in the meantime had passed Le Cateau on the northward. The Americans took Ribeauville (two miles southeast of St. Souplet) and pro ceeded as far as Mazinghien (a mile northeast of Ribeauville), which an of ficer entered by moonlight and found unoccupied. He reported back, where upon a regiment inarched in behind its commander as though on parade. This gave the Americans the third ridge. The third day was spent in clean ing up the slope beyond, which resulted in an additional advance of 1.500 yards (nearly a mile). The three days’ fighting resulted in numerous casualties from rifle fire as well as from the artillery. In a period of thirteen days, only six of which were spent in actual fight ing, these Americans advanced a total depth of thirteen miles. The entire second corps includes the Fourth division of the regular army, the Thirtieth (Old Hickory) division of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Caro lina and District of Columbia national guard; the Thirty-sixth division of Mis souri and Kansas national guard, and the Seventy-seventh New York and Eighty-second Georgia, Alabama and Florida national army men. Can Use Airplanes For Capturing Infantry WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Oct. 14.—(Correspondence of 'he Associated Press.) —Airplanes can be used for capturing infantry, it was proved by the British in their recent advance. Flying fairly low seeking parties of Germans or war material to bomb, two officers in one machine were fired upon from a sunken road. The pilot dived and the airplane’s machine gun quickly ac counted for four Germans. Very quick ly the Germans hoisted a white flag in token of surrender. The airmen were in n dilemma, as there was no British infantry in the vicinity. They descended to fifty feet however, ami ordered the Germans out I of the rond—6s of them in all They ' obeyed. Then rounding up the party the airmen directed them toward the British lines. They circled over them with the ever-menacing bombs and ma chine guns until they encountered a party of British who took the entire lot to a’ prisoners' cage. HJIGWIIESDBIVE UPOK HUN DEFENSES WTOWEK PARIS, Oct. 23.—The British are in Valenciennes, it was learned today. • WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 23. (By the Associated Press.) —The town of' Brieulles, on the western bank of the Meuse, which has been ly defended by the Germans, has been given up by the enemy. This is the latest point at which the Amei leans have driven a dent in a the Geiman defenses, despite the fact that the enemy resistance is still as strohg as formerly. The Germans set fire to Brieulles late Tuesday and American patrols early to day reported that the Germans had withdrawn from the town. Heavy fighting is taking place in the region of Grand Pre, on the western end of the American sector. A bitter struggle, also, is taking place in the cen ter of the line. The Germans are hold ing Bantheville in strength and along the Bantheville-Aincrevilie road every available point has been fortified with machine guns. • Throughout last night the Germans bombarded the greater part of the Amer ican front and the roads far to the rear. Improved visibility today resulted in greater aerial activity. AMERICAN PATROLS ENTER BRIEULL ES, LEKL BY HUNS BY FBED S. fTHGUSOS WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN FRANCE, Oct. 23.—Brieulles has been reeamured. The important defense point on the Meuse, south of Dun, was entered by American patrois today, aft er the Germans had evacuated. The enemy following their withdrawal from the village began shelling it vigorously. Staff dispatches yesterday reported the Germans had set fire to Brieulles, which was captured by the Americans. BRITISH ATTACK BETWEEN LE CATEAU AND SOLF.SMES LONDON, Oct. The British began a new attack today on the front between Le Cateau and Solesmes, south of Val enciennes, Field Marshal Haig an nounces. The British have captured Bruay, two and one-half miles north of Valen ciennes, and have reached the west bank of the Scheldt. • The statement fellows: "At an early hour this morning oflr troops attacked on the Le Cateau-Soles mes front and are reported to be making good progress. “Farther north, between Valenciennes and Tournai. we have taken Bruay and reached the west bank of the Scheldt at Bleharies and Espain. Considerable re sistance was encountered on this front yesterday and sharp fighting took place in which our troops pressing the enemy vigorously, inflicted many casualties upon him and drove him from his posi tions, capturing a number of prisoners.” FRENCH GAIN 2 TO 3 MILES AND REACH SERRE LONDON, Oct. 23.—(1 P.

BRITISH STORM DEFENSES TO WEST OF MAUBEUGE NEW YORK, Oct. 23. (Summary of I European Cables to the Associated Press.) —British troops again are storm ing the German defenses west of Mau beuge. The new attack, launched early today between Solesmes and Le Cateau, is reported to be making good progress. Field Marshal Haig in driving for ward on the seven-mile front north of Le Cateau also is increasing the menace to Valenciennes, through the western suburbs of which the British are fight ing. North of Valenciennes the city has been outflanked by the capture of Bruay. It is not probable the Germans will be able to hold out in Valenciennes. Once the Scheldt is crossed here the British wil be in position to Threaten seriously both Mons and Maubeuge. Between Le Cateau and Solesmes the British are on the high ground east of the Selle river and it is from this favor able position today’s attack was begun. The German resistance here has been bitter, as the line is vital to the se curity of the German defenses over a wide front to the south and southeast. BRITISH GAIN MILE IN DRIVE BEYOND SOLESMES LONDON, Oct. 23, 1 P. M.—ln Field Marshal Haig’s new attack this morn ing between Le Cateau and Solesmes the British advanced a mile on a front of from five to six miles, according to dispatches from the battle front. North of the town they have forced a crossing of the Scheldt, while on the south they have reached the western bank of the river on a four-mile front from Brieulles to Bleharies. South of Le Cateau the enemy is re sisting stubbornly French attempts to cross the Serre river and take in the rear the German positions east of the Oise. South of the railroad junction of Montcornet, the French have made progress between Nizy-Le-Comte and Le Thour. GERMAN WITHDRAWALS ADMITTED BY BERLIN BERLIN, Oct. 23. (Via London.) — German troops east of Courtrai have been pressed back to the eastern out skirts of Vichte (eight miles west of Audenarde), the war office announced today. South of Marie, the Germans evacu ated the Bridgehead which they had de fended temporarily. "Along the Serre they withdrew in the region of rhe Souche.” BRITISH FIGHTING WAY INTO CENTER OF VALENCIENNES WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Oct. 23.—(8y the Associated Press.? —British troops were fighting their way into 'he center of Valenciennes early today. They were facing a strong enemy machine gun fire from the east bank of the Scheldt canal, which flows througn the city. North of Valenciennes the British have forced their way almost through j the Raisnes forest Along the entire | front, between Valenciennes and Tour-1 nai recent rains have made the ground difficult and progress has been slowed up. The Germans ,on this front recently have been following the tactics of re treating at night. The British have not been able to establish contact with the enemy rear guards until noon of the next day. The rear guards endeavor to hold the British in check until night fall, when they again retreat. There appears to be a good indica tion that the line on which the Germans are resting temporarily in this region will not be defended very long. The entire country between Valencien nes and Tournai is as barren as a des ert as far as the personal property of the French inhabitants is concerned. Liberated civilians say that the re treating Germans carry so much loot that thev stagger under the loads. Ap parentlv’ the alleged instructions given ( the German troops to take the most strict care as regards the property of civilians are not observed nt the front.
