During the hearing before the house ways and means committee on war revenue legislation last Monday, l'rof. O. M. W. Sprague of Harvard. MuttmVUeW a. ouiwyt ihcxis'. ?V taxnUon plan proposing consumption taxes ano heavy levies on war profits. Incomes ami iuxurics. Some of his recommendations were: War profits, SO per cent. based on the Kngiish system; tea. 1 to J cents a pound: coffee, 10 cents a pound: tobacco 50 cents a pound; beer, a substantially increased rate; whole wheat flour, $J to $:< a barrel; hotel bills, JO per cent on all above $J.5t) a night and on all meals above $1; automobiles, a heavy rate on sales; gasoline used lor passenger cars. JO to J5 cents; employers of chauffeurs. $10 to $50 a month; luxury taxes on jewelry. talking machines, dress goods above a certain price, s|tortinc and athletic goods, negligee shirts costing over $o or $S, and a graduated tax on bank checks. Itenjumin Marsh, representing the farmers' national committee on war finance, was ?|Uestioned by Representative Moore of Pennsylvania, regarding an article la wrote saying he had been informed by a member of congress that the reason excess profits had not I taxed was because bankers control the newspapers and that the ne\vs|iupers intimidate congress. He declined to giv? the name of the member. "Do you think that statement is true?" asked Representative Moore. "I am afraid that in some cases it is." he replied. ? Can-Americanism, a pact of all the Americas for self protective purposes? is advocated by President Wilson. This developed Tuesday with the authorized publication of President Wilson's recent address to a group of Mexican editors visiting Washington. Declaring the Monroe Doctrine to be the case of telling Central America "we arc going to Im- a big brother to you whether yon want us to or not." the president said the policy contained nothing that protects Mexico from "aggression from us." As a result, the president declared. he hail observed some sister republics to the south were uneasy lest "our self appointed protection (Monroe Doctrine) might be for our own benefit and our own interest and not for the Interest of our neighbors." He ......i t>iv>iuw,?i to tin- countries "a guarantee that all of as will sign a declaration of political independence and territorial integritv." Such an arrangement, he said, "will have to lie the foundation of the future life of the nations of the world. The whole family of nations will have to guarantee to each nation that no nation shall violate its political independence or its territorial integrity. That is the only conceivable basis for the future peace of the world, and I must admit I was anxious to have the states of the two continents of America show the way to the rest of the world how to make a Imsls of pence. Peace can only come by trust. If you can once get a situation of trust then you have not the situation of permanent peace. Therefore, every one of us. it seems to me owes it as a patriotic duty to his own country to plant the seeds of trust and confidence instead of seeds of suspicion." ? This is the story of a battle royal waged in the air between two flights in \icimuii putiies. hiiii's ;iii .tiwurwiru Press oorrexpondent with the British army. It was an unintentional hut disastrous fight Mween brother aviators during which Hritlsh pilots joyfully and impartially rendered assistance first to the one side and then to the other, until so many of the emperor's fliers had been destroyed or damaged that the conflict could not continue. It was on June 5. that this extraordinary engagement occurred and it began thus: Two British officers in a fighting machine were leading a patrol along the lines when they sighted a Herman Halherstadt two seater which, upon their appearance, tired a green signal light. The British leaders expected a trap and waited to see what this unusual performance meant. In a short time six Herman scouts came wheeling out of the blue and joined the Halherstadt. Almost at once six other enemy scouts dived out of the sun onto their comrades whom they apparently mistook for a British patrol about to attack the Halherstadt. What had happened was this: The Halherstadt had been acting as a decoy and the green light had been meant as a signal for assistance. But there had been no expectation that two flights of German planes would respond at the same time Not being able to distinguish the markings of their friends?and this happmed not infrequently before?the new comers immediately began a furious attack up on Tla Itritish lwnl?Ti?

Then is a very i arlvcd difference between the real ting and the imitation; but that dif- i fence is more easily demonstarted inn described. The public is disposed i support a real newspaper: but it itvlj accords respect to the imitation. The college boy's idea of a newspa r was a few pages of sophomoric fort by different students with a few iges ol' advertising donated by in lnlnt business people to pay tlie ex nsr of publication. The idea of the ofcssional, however, is a reliable lily or weekly record of events with liieh it is necessary to keep in touch.

The advance of the French Infantry 3 over a seven-mile front was sup|>oi-ted by tanks and the infantry found that parts of the field were literally covered with Herman dead. a Kminy attacks further east, neav, <'lierincourt have been definitely brok- '? en. The importance of the French gains may be the better appreciated in view s of the.fact that they are against salients from which the Hermans were |, hoping to break through toward Paris.

(Associated Press.) ^ Further gains have been made by j. the Frcnih troops in the fighting in . the region between Montdidier and Noyon. where in addition to the capture of territory near lielloy and St. Maur. the center of the line, 4uu additional (iermans have been made pris- I oner and some guns and machine guns 'J have been taken. Numerous <}er. man counter-atlLcks have been repulscd. but the enemy succeeded at one point in crossing the Mat/, river. 5 (>n the eastern side of the Oise river the Fivnch have curried out a strategic retirement along the line ot Belloy, Tracy I a- Val and Numpcel. unobserved by the enemy. o Farther south, north of the Marne. . in the region of Chateau Thierry, the . French have recaptured the village ot Montcourt and a |>ortion of the vil- ;i , lage of Prussia res. j In violent lighting between the Aisne river and tbe forest of Tillers Coterels the enemy made slight , gains against the French. The French force o| tern ting on tineas! bank of the (Use river south ot v Noyon have evacuated the Carlf|K?nt !l wood and the Cermans are closely ' pressing them southward, according i to the tierman ottlcial coininuniea- " - itVIUK-.HI.l.t. I III' 1 t'TlllllllIUCUI Mill also assorts that the territory on the i opposite side of the river, near where c the Mat/, enters the stream, has l>eon i clearoil of allied troops. t Nowhere else along the hat tie front ti running from Montdldier to the re. i gion around Noyon is any claim ? made to further advances by the tier- ( mans. On the contrary, the latest . ' communication shows that the enemy evcrywheie has been busily engaged in attempts to hold back the French . ' and other allied troops, among them ' 1 some Americans. No mention is made in the com- ! ' mimical ion of the allies having advanced their front cast of Mery and f the (ienlls wood or of the repulse of ! , violent German attacks along the 1 . Aronde river and at the Iaiges farm ' r ami Antheuil. Neither is there any ' f mention of the fact that the enemy, ' , notwithstanding his numerous at- . . tempts, has been unable to debouch south of the Matz river. , The communication asserts that all I the counter-attacks of the allied forces have been repulsed and that | they suffered heavy casualties. Ii is < ! declared that the number of prisoners l , tiik<n by General von Huticr's army ' , has now risen to more than 13,000. 1 It has been admitted that the posi- ] tion of the defending line on the west i ' bank of the Oise river was a delicate ^ m one 1ne capture by the Oer- j " malts rtWli" outflanking hills to the | west, and a successful drive through , ' the Cnrlepont wood on the opimsfte , side of the stream seemingly would have necessitated a strategic retreat , ' if the troons u-eie nut in i... * Cllt oft".

I To the north of Montdidier the tier- , mans several times have tried to j. drive out the Americans from the , village of Cantigny. but each time they have la-en repulsed. One party ' of 10 (ierinans was routed by the re' volver lire c?f the defenders of the village. Northwest of Chateau Thierry the , Cennans have thrown five divisions . against the Americans lighting side I by side with the l-'rench. but without avail. Attempts by the enemy to recapture the village of Itouivsches went for naught. South of the Aisne river there has been tierce lighting down to the region of Vlllers Cotterets, where the I Cermans are attempting to break t through ami bring their line west of Soisso is toward Compiegne. Kxcept , that tin- coml ats were partleularly , severe on the front of Dommiers. Cnti ry and south of Amlileny, no further f details are available.
