Lenders In this movement agreed

whon Congress reconvenes, December
7.
Not more than 50 member of the
IIuiibo and less tlmii a Quorum of the

The announcing of the abandonment
of the filibuster for cotton legislation
followed a conference between Sen

Army Desertions Fall Off.
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.

London. The Petrograd corres
pondent of the Central New sends the
following:
"Soldier from the Warsaw front
say that Emperor William was per
sonally on the field of battle. lie was

ing by automobile."
Canadian Troops Are Sent to Egypt
London. The British government
during the last few days has sent
many Cnnadlan troops to Egypt, ac
cording to news received from well
informed quarter In Constantinople.
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."
Petrograd Is aglow with official re
ports of the recent successes of the
Russian armies the repulse of the
Germans at Warsaw and In the vicin
ity of Ivangorod, fresh capture of
prisoners and the precipitate flight of
the Austrians.
Russia Wilt Free Italian Prisoners.
