Washington, DniK-rtlona In the Un ited States army last year were lower by many hundreds than ever before In Its history, according to Die annual report of Judge Advocate-General E. II. Orowdor. This Is attributed In large purl to the beneficent legislation by congress mitigating the treatment of deserters and other military offenders. DODGERS OF INCOME TAX TO BE PURSUED Washington, In connection with their estimate Unit there are more than H0.OOU Income tux dodgers lu the United Stutes, congress experts de clare that while they could not expect their early figures to be absolutely correct, the discrepancy Is so large as to be suspicious. The internal revenue bureau months ago began a vigorous campaign to de tect the dodgers, and It was under stood that results might be forthcom ing soon. There is little doubt that every effort will be made to catch up with violators, for as a revenue pro ducer the law has fullen considerably below expectations, turning In about $28,000,000 for Ihe payable ten months of IsHt year Instead of about $40,000. 000 as had been expected, Not a single class of Incomes lived up to the hopes of the estimators. In the $5000 to $10,000 class, however, the discrepancy was greatest, the es timates being 178,000 and the returns 101,718. Incomes from $4000 to $5000 numbered 114,484, whllo the estimate was 126,000. The announcement showed that 44 rciurns were mads on incomes over $1,000,000; 91 on Incomes between $500,000 and $1,000,000; 222 on In comes between $250,000 and $500,000, and 1241 on incomes between $100,000 and $250,000. The estimates put the $1,000,000 Incomes at 100, the next class at 350, the next at 600 and the $100,000 to $250,000 at 2500. There were 6082 marriod women who made separate returns, the totul of all married persona making returns being 278,835. Bachelors numbered 55,212 and the single women 23,551. Seizure of Oil Is Again Protested. , Washington. The United States protested to Great Britain against the recent seizure of the Platurla, a tank steamer owned by1 the Standard Oil company, now detained at Lewis Is land, Scotland. . This protest Is Identical to the one filed In the case of the Brlndilla, hold at Halifax, N. S and requests the Im mediate rolease of the nlilo. 'CENERAL VCN DUEL0W Oonsral Von Buelow, commander of on of the German armies now fight ing the allies on French soil. BRIEF WAR NEWS After a week of strenuous fighting Ihe Ocnnaiis were unable to break tliroii'h the lines of the allies In Northern France and gain a foothold oa tho French const. The remnants of the llelglun army under personal command of King Albert, supported by two brigades of British marines armed with naval guns successfully repulsed tho numerous violent attucks of the (Jermuns. The fighting between Mile and Pun kirk Is described In Berlin as the greatest battle of the campaign and on lis outcome Is said to hinge the fute of the German Invasion of Krnnce, Because of the deadly fire of the naval guns the Invaders are declared to have loft the const clear In an effort to work around Dlxmude toward Mile a Berlin report cluluilng success on the Ysor Canal. It Is evident that along the coast the Germans have found It difficult to advance In tho face of tho hard fighting force drawn along tho Yser Canal, aided by tlin British and French ships, which bombarded them from the sea. It probably Is the most plctur eitque battle ever fought. On shore the troops of five nations are fight lug the Austrian and Germans on one side and the French, Belgian and British on the other. The British monitors, gunboats nnd destroyers and submarines are fight lug side by side with French war ships, while at the same time they are being subjected to attack by Gor man submarines and airships. , In eastern France there has been apparently some progress made by the French In developing their threat agaliiBt Met i, but both side are con cealing their strength In the frontier tone. Little news on which reliable Judgments can be based Is forthcom ing. The French have reports of suc cesses during the week In driving the Germuns north of Verdun, while a strong belief prevails in Berlin that Verdun Is about to fall. The result of the campaign in western France and Belgium will have a paramount influence on the future developments of the war and this doubtless accounts for the meager details of the Meuse and Moselle operations. During the week Russia has check ed, temporarily at least Germany' ef forts to get within bombarding dis tance of Warsaw. This la far from meaning that Russia has assumed the offensive. Nevertheless, the influence of the Russian success will be felt by the allies In France and Belgium, Gen era! Von Hlndcnberg will bo unable to decrease hi forces to strengthen the German western battle line, and, in fact, he has begun UBlng troops In Runt Prussia to relieve the situation at Warsaw. This movement of a Gorman army from Lyck southward to the Vistula may eventually prove to be the utmost important military development in Po land, of the week, Its objective Is not clear, but It seems to be aiming either at Novogeorgievsk, Warsaw's northern flank fortress, or at the dis trict In the rear of Warsaw. The fu ture activity of this army should have an Important bearing' on Germany's offensive against the Slavs, which, at present Is Btalled along the wrong side of the Vistula. The AuBtrlnns, heavily reinforced by the crack Hungarian divisions and first line German troops, are making determined assaults against the Rus sians along the southern reaches of the San river, as well as to the north of Jaroslav. There is apparently a determined effort In progress against the entire Russian left wing, tfnd as a result the main offensive against the Germans who have been- driven from In front of Warsaw to the east ern bank of the Warta river, has been halted. Additional reinforcements are being rushed to the points of danger nnd the Russian forces are expected to prevail shortly. REMARKABLE BATTLE IS BE!H9 FOUGHT Armies on Land, Vessels on Water, Submarines and Aero planes Unite in Struggle. Pari. From Nleuport, on the Bel gian coast, - sweeping southward through Dlxmude, Langbemarcq, Ypres, east of Armentierei and toward Lille and then southwest to Arrus is being fought the most remarkable bat tle In the history of the world. It Is being waged on land, on the sea, un der the sea, and In the air. Engaged are the force of four na tions, English, French and Belgian sol diers and marine are desperately re sisting the endeavor of the great Ger man fighting machine to break through to the coast for the channel and the North sea. The losses run Into the thousands on both side. The combined French and British fleets of light draught monitor and destroyers are shelling the German extreme right wing from Nleuport to Oatend. At the turns time, they are frustrating attucks made on them by German destroyers, who are operating from a base In the deep canal that connects Bruges with Zee-Brugge. The furious nature of the conflict can be gathered from the fact that in front of one British Infantry division in a small space more than 1500 bodies of Germans were found after an en gagement, while 600 German prison ers were taken by the Brltiah In the course of one attack. La Bussee, which form a promon tory near Lille, Is an Important point covering railroads which the Germans seem determined to capture at what ever cost, but the allies' resistance hitherto has been too stubborn. The battle continues Its course with unabated violence near the Belgian coast, and the Germuns have been able to force themselves across the Yser, which is a alugglsh, shallow river, where the allies opposed them with a strong defense along every foot of the ground. Sugar Barred Out of England. London. An official statement says that the government ha prohibited the Importation of sugur Into the Unit ed Kingdom, with the object of pre venting German and Austrian sugar reaching here from neutral countries.

RUSSIANS PRESS ON RETREATING ENEMY Petrograd. An official communica tion Usued by the general headquar ters says: "Our troops beyond the Vistula are pressing the armies of .the enemy In retreat. North of the Pllitza River the Germans are offering only feeble resistance. They have been driven back as far a Sklernlewice. "Along the River San and south of PriemyBl desperate engagements con tinue, but tho advantage is with our troops, who have here made thousands of prisoners. In taking the heights of Tytchentsea, south of Juroslau, we have made prisoners of five' Austrian companies. "In repulsing an attack on the ene my against our corps operating south of Pnemysl, we have captured 600 prisoners and nine rapld-firers."
