1. Italian offensive: "The Austrian
line is beginning to bend and give
way at various points," was the latest
word from the Home war office this
evening, jubilantly greeted not only
in Italy but throughout all entente
countries. The drive, which began al-
ready Sunday, as the prelude to the
concerted allied push, continues, al-
though necessarily at a reduced speed
owing to the stiffening of Austrian re-
sistance after the initial blows. Home

being called to Washington by tele-
grams from their colleagues, BO that

Interesting amendments to the in-
ooma tax section were submitted to-
day by Gerry of Rhode Island. He
proposed a surtax of 25 per cent on
incomes of $500,000 to 17 60,000; 45
per cent on 1750,000 to 51,000,000.

IaFllette Attacks Wealth.
The speech by Senator LaFollette
was the speech of the day. He occu-
pied the floor three hours with a
carefully prepared argument. Fre-
quently he departed from it to make
attacks upon capital. Vigorous as
mini he pounded the desks, waved
his hands, run them through his hair
and strode up and down the aisles.
"So long as there is an income in
the oquntry," he said, "so large that
it yields a surplus over and above
what its possessor needs for the com-
fort or even luxuries of life for him-
self and family, I am in favor of
taking it all before we take one penny
from the slender income of the man
who receives only enough to provide
himself and family with the bare
necessities of life.
“Ho long as a man can be found
who is making "war profits' I am in
favor of taking such portions of
those profits as the government needs
for war purposes before one penny
is added by taxation to the burden
of the man already staggering under
the load of high prices caused by the
Never before was there such an op-
portunity to tax war profits and in-
comes as now. declared the Wiscon-
sin senator. He contended that these
f tw would burden industry "little if
at all, because if you took all the war
profits, you will have the normal
profit left, and if you taxed Individ-
ual Incomes above 950,000 it would
not damage business."
Probable Cost nt the War.

Follette predicted that thirty or forty
billion dollars might be spent by this
country next year. _
"If this bill raises $3,006,970,000
and the >1,125,500.000 estimated re-
ceipts for ths year are added,", he
said, “there will be a total of $3,347,-
470.000 raised by taxation. What are

year so far as we now know ? The

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21—Heavy

day in the senate. Lxe senator John-
eon of California. Senator Lafollette
of Wisconsin today arzued strenuous-
ly that war profits and incoznes
should be conscripted to pay the cost
of the war. In an Impaarioned speech
he begged that the consumption taxes
be eliminated from the pendm, two
biilon dollar war revenue bill.
The idea that moneyed Interests
should hear the burden of the war
seems to gain popularity with the
senators. LaFollette will begin intro-
ducing his amendments to this end
tomorrow and will carry on a bitter
problem, have taken

tin—everywhere Teuton arms went

Five thousand had been counted by

Two courses appear possible, assuming that the governor will

other is to persist in refusing and see what the house will id

however, that the price will be in

The price to be set on Sept 1

is not receiving particular attention

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 21.—T. C.
Ashcroft, mayor of Memphis, who
was to have faced the court Thur-
day to answer an ouster bill filed
against him, resigned this afternoon.
Harry H. LAtty, a political supporter
of Ashoroft, was elected as his suc-
cessor by the city commission.
W. J. Hayes, chief of police, against
whom an ouster bill was being pre-
pared, resigned with the mayor.
Jernes P. Quinlan was elected as
his successor. Hayes was elected in-
spector of police.
Late today Mr. Ashcroft issued a
statement saying that he resigned be-
cause he had learned that his politi-
cal enemies had selected the judge
who would preside in the event ho
went to trial in the ouster case. The
bill charged the mayor with failing
to enforce the prohibition laws and
with tolerating vide and orme. A A

While It is stated that the prices
are "not only fair and just, but lib-

men in close touch with the coal
situation that the figures would
prove a severe blow to the pro-
ducers.
The prices are fixed by states and
range from 92 to 99.25 for run of
mine and 9215 to $3 50 for prepared
sizes and 91-75 to $3 for slack or

These prices will affect the public

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.—Jan. 1
has been tentatively set for the sec-
ond draft; the number of men to be
called will be approximately 750,-
•00.
This, learned in war department
circles today, is in answer to the
question, what will President Wilson
reply to the pope’s peace proposals?
With the allies striking on every
front the United States—through the
officials charged with carrying on
the war—let drop sufficient hints
today of preparations for the future
to make it plain that there is little
hope for peace in administraton
circles at this time.
Indications were that President
Wilson through the state department
has been in touch with the entente
governments and that the basis on
which answer to the pope will be
made has bgn decided upon. It at
least has beeh drafted in broad out-
line and only details remained to be
disoussed.
Transportation Problems Solved.
With an army of more than 1,200,-
000 assured, the government is de-
voting its entire attention to trans-
porting the men already enrolled or
drafted to France rather than at-
tempting to increase the number un-
der arms.
The principal problems are being
met with much success. It was def-
initely learned today, with so much
success, in fact, that after a cer-
tain period, the length of which
must remain a secret, there will be.
a constant and uninterrupted flow
CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Hogs and
sheep gave Chicago and the na-
tion disagreeable shocks today.
Hogs went to a new high price
at the stock yards, light butchers
selling at >20 a hundred. At the
tame time wool producer end
consumers, to sees inn here, wi®*-
tled with plans for sthmulating
sheep raising and averting a crisis
that may force America to de-
velop entirely new textile indus-
tries.
Only one sale of hogs was re-
corded at the S1O figure, but mar-
ket experts regard that as well
below the price that will be set
before the new hog crop begins
to reach market, a month hence.
The high price is attributed to the
unusual between seasons shortage
of animal* Canadian buyers
seized most of the early surplus,
leaving America insufficienty
supplied for its own needs until
fall. There has been a striking
shortage of swine since Jan. 1,
the run since that date to the
Chicago market being 4,800,000,
as against 5,471,cA0 for the cor-
responding months of tilt.
The demand for fresh meats is
lowing down because of the high
prices, and economy is inevitable
at the present level of values.
Packing in the west is short at
280,000 bags for the week, com-
pared with 889,000 last week and
417,000 a year ago. Since March
1 the total is 11,011,000 hogs, or
177,000 toss than a rene ago.

army experienced difficulty In out-
fitting even the national guard when
it war drafted into federal service
and the coming in of the draft forces
will drain the Inst uniform and rifle.
Indeed, the prospect today was that
there will not be sufficient materials
on hand Oct 1. when the last in-
crement of the conscripted force fe
brought to the colors, to properly
outfit and eqUip them. Many men
may be forced to drill in civilian at-
tire or makeshift uniforms for sev-
eral months.
No More Available Equipment.
An Immense amount of detailed la-
bor remains to be done before a sec-
ond draft can be called. As the situ-
ation stands at present there not
only is no equipment for the men
should they be celled immediately, but
there are no camps to send them to
and no officers to train them.
Before the second draft can be offi-
cered, the men who go into the reserve
officers' training camps on Aug. 27
will have to be trained and commis-
sioned. That will take until Decem-
ber. It will require at least four
months to replenish the depleted army
stores.
The war department is considering
turning the national guard camps in
the south into draft army camps if
necessary, but nothing definite has yet
been accomplished on this line. It is
pointed out that the guardsmen will
bu at the camps only a comparatively
short time. They will have a period
of intensive training and then will be
sent to France. Present plans call
for their presence at the American
base before Christmas. That will leave
the southern training sites vacant
but in order to encamp a draft army
there it will be necessary to supply
vast amounts of tentage, or ask con-
gress for millions to build additional
wooden cantonments. The national
