Military experts are beginning to
appreciate the fact that the attacks

the western army are not entirely

their effectiveness on speed and sur

been shown on the allies’ left. If,

London, 3:56 a. m.— The correspon

referring to the defeat of the Germans,
nays there Is little doubt that the
Russians Intend to follow up the ad

problem confronting them Is very dif

to the experts, win the battle of tho

of the battle on the Russian border.
The battle line along the Russian

PBES’T FAVORS
PLAN TO BUY
MOITICELLO
Movement Started Several
Years Ago for Government
Acquisition of Jefferson’s
Home, Likely to be Con
summated.
Washington.—President Wilson fa
vors government purchase of Monti -
cello, the former home of Thomas Jef
ferson, from Representative Levy, of
New York, It became known today.
He has not, however, committed him
self to the suggestion of Mr. Levy
that Monitcello be used as a summer
home for presidents.
In official circles hope was express
ed that congress would act propmtly
on the letter of Representative Jeffer
son M. Levy to Secretary Bryan In
which he said he would consider a
government offer of $500,000 for Mon
tlcello. Mr. Bryan, It was said, would
refer the communication to congress
at once.
Abhorred "Muieum.”
Mr. Levy In his letter stated he al
ways had abhorred the Idea of Montl
cello becoming a "mere museum.”
“I have maintained It,” he wrote, "as
a home—the home of Thomas Jeffer
son—and If I am to part with It I
should like that thought to be retain
ed. Make It the home—the Virginia
home—of the president of the United
States and maintain It for their oc
casional occupancy and I would be
content.”
Mr. Levy said ho had added to the
21X acres he first purchased until the
original acreage of more than 700
acres had been restored. Ha added he
had spent one million dollars on the
estate.
Induced to Change.
The movement for government ac
quisition of Montlcello, begun several
years ago was led by Mrs. Martin W.
Littleton of New York, and various
bills and resolutions looking to its
purchase have been Introduced in con
gress.
Mr. Levy, however protested against
the plan, declaring he would not sell
the property and was only induced to
change his mind by Hecretary Bryan
who recently wrote to him suggesting
that the acquisition of Montlcello at
this time would commemorate the ad
ministration of President Wilson,
"which Is being conducted on Jeffer
sonian principles."
EPERNAT VINES
ARE UNDAMAGED
London, 4:50 a. m.—Telegraphing
from Epernav, France, the Times cor
respondent says:
''The ebbing of the German Invasion
has left the vineyards virtually un
damaged. The labor question In con
nection with the harvesting of the
grapes has been solved by the presence
of numerous refugees from the north
who are only too glad to earn tho
good wages offered by the vineyard
owners.
“In ordinary times the grapes, as
soon as harvested, are bought by the
htg cnampagne makers for their press
es. During tlie present year, however,
thlß has been Impossible, ow
ing to lack of transportation facilities.
The grapes are therefore being press
ed by growers themselves and ths
Juice will be preserved In barrels un
til Its delivery to the wine makers la
possible. The weather has been fav
orable ,md It Is predicted that the
wine thla year will be of excellent
quality."

Columbia, 8. C.—" Let us do what

Ml-O NA QUICKLY
ENDS INDIGESTION
Eat Your Favorite Food and
Never Fear After-Distress.
There la a way for you to eat what
ever your stomach craves and do It
over again the next day. Many will
say "How I wish 1 could hut I have
tried and every time It nearly kills
me."
The real trouble Is that people who
suffer the untold agony of Indigestion,
do not properly care for the stomach.
Every stomach has a lot of work to
perform In digesting the food and if
crowded with extra labor it rebels and
kicks up a fearful disturbance.
Ml-o-na, a simple, harmless, .inex
pensive and most effective prescrip
tion. easily obtained at any drug store,
will quickly stop this disturbance.
Ml-o-na was especially prepared to
regulate out-of-order stomachs. It
not only helps the over-worked di
gestive organs by increasing the flow
lof gaetrlc juices, but surely and
safely builds up and strengthens the
j stomach walls so that the stomach
can care for the food as nature In
tended.

of these health-restoring tablets from

not banish all stomach distress, there
wilt not be a penny of expense.
DEMOCRATS TO
CAUCUS ON HR
REVENUE BILL
Interest Keen in Outcome.
Party Differences Are Many.
Effort to Avoid Prolonged
Debate on Measure.
Washington,—Stamp taxes on pro
prietary medicines, cosmetics, per
fumes an<r chewing gum such as were
Included in the Spanish war taxes
i were voted into the war revenue bill
today by the Democrats of the senate
finance committee before the meas
ure was submitted to the Democratic
senate caucus for approval or revision.
The committee added the medicine
tax section to make up for any deficit
that their original revision of the
house bill might cause and also to
increase the revenue as much as pos
sible. It was understood the secre
tary of the treasury would not object
if the estimated revenue to be deriv
ed should exceed $100,000,000.
Graduated Stamp Tax.
The amendment proposed a grad
uated stamp tax of % of a cent on ar
ticles costing not more than 5 cents
to % of a’cent for more than 50 or less
than 26 cents articles and % of a cent
for each 26 cents of value additional.
Articles included in the list are pills,
powders, torches, cordials, bitters,
tonics, plasters, liniments, salves,
ointments, waters—except natural
mineral or carbonated natural mineral
waters—essences and all similar ar
ticles for which a- private formula Is
claimed. Similar tax rates would he
applied to perfumery, cosmetics, hair
oils, pomades, hair dyes, dentrifices,
etc. The proposed tax on chewing
gum is 4 cents for each box worth $1
or less and 4 cents additional for each
added dollar of value.
The Auto Tax.
In perfecting the measure the com
mittee stipulated that the proposed
tax of 60 cents a horsepower on auto
mobile sales shoula apply only to pas
senger cars. Another tax added is on
sparkling wines, not otherwise speci
fied in the bill at the rate of 1 cent
for pints or less and 2 cents for more
than a pint.
In the proposed tax of $lO for gen
eral amusement halls exception is
made' to “ehautauquas, lectures, ly
ceums, agricultural or industrial fairs
and religious and charitable entertain
ments.”
Keen Interest.
Washington.—Congressmen awaited
with keen Interest the outcome of to
day’s caucus of senate democrats to
straighten out party differences on
the war revenue bill and hasten action
on remaining legislative business
with a view to early adjaurnment. Re
jection by democrats of the finance
committee of amendments of members
to the war tax measure led to the cau
cus call. Committee members had
threatened to carry the fight to tho
floor of the senate.
Prospects of prolonged debate over
the bill because of the disagreement
and consequent delay in adjournment
caused administration leaders to de
cide upon a caucus to avoid such a
contingency.
For Adjournment.
President Wilson Indicated to the
leaders that he would be ready for ad
journment as Boon as the Clayton
bill, the w T ar tax and the Alaska coal
leasing conference report had been
consummated.
The situation as to early adjourn
ment may be further complicated by
tho threat of Representative Henry of
Texas to continue indefinitely has
filibuster against adjournment until
cotton relief legislation is enactei.
The president has stated, hoverer,
that the house rather than Mr. Henrv
would determine when to adjourn.
Mr. Henry's fight will prevent the
carylng out of agreements for recesses
of the house to permit members to
go to their home districts this week.
Many of them, however, had already
gone home, believing that congress
would shortly adjourn.
Disagree on Them.
The caucus had before it for con
sideration today a number of amend
ments upon which the finance com
mittee disagreed. One would eliminate
the tax on gasoline altogether and sub
stitute a tax on automobile owners
and automobile sales. Another would
eliminate the proposed tax of $2 a
thousand on bank capital and surplus,
substltutiong a stamp tax on checks,
drafts and other negotiable paper.
The caucus may pass upon a suggest
ed amendment to tax government em
ployes a percentage on their salaries.
Other amendments Include proposed
taxes on distilled liquors, an increase
In the proposed tax on beer from $1.50
to $1.75 a barrel; revision of the pro
posed taxes on domestic vines and
special taxes on retail liquor dealers.

Battle ‘North of
Oise’ Is Raging
Confidence Undimished in Paris in Spite of
Brief Announcement of Allies Yielding. All
Combats Heretofore Have Been on Right of
River Oise.
Paris, 7:01 a. m.—Despite yester
day's official announcement that the
allies had yielded somewhat, confi
dence today In the ultimate success
of the French and the English in the
great action on the left wing of the
battle front in northern France has
by no means diminished. Meanwhile
without repose and with no sign of a
truce the tremendous battle of mil
lions of men Is proceeding.
For First Time.
"North of the Oise” has appeared
for the first time In a war office
statement. Till now all the combats
fought on the right bank of the Oise
River have been mentioned either in
the region of Roye or between the
Somme and the Oise. There is much
speculation on the phase of the fight
ing in that vicinity which can have a
greatly varied importance.
The military critics, among them
Lieut-Colonel Rousset, of the Petit
Parisien, refuse to attach any import
ance to the setback or the yielding of
territory, declaring them to be the in
evitable retreats which can be offset
by a progressive movement.
Advantage to French.
The familiarity of the French with
the territory is frequently of consid-

BRITISH, ALRIGA
Washington, D. P.—The British em

by the colonial office:
"During September there has been
considerable activity along Anglo-
German boundary' of East African pro

raid British territory and cut Uganda

been repulsed and raiding parties de
