REVENUE BILL IS DEBATED
Galllnger Predicts Iteturn of Coun
, try to Principles of Protection.
Democrats Indicted on Reo
ord Previous to War.
WASHINGTON, Ao?. 25. The first
clash of the session between so-called
old-line and progressive Republicans
occurred In the Senate today li the
course of the debate on the emergency
revenue bill. Senator Gallinger, the
minority leader, criticised progressive
Republicans for the overthrow or ex- ,
Speaker Cannon and attacks on the late
Senator Aldrich, drawing- a vigorous
reply from Senator Gromna.
Senator Gallinger declared that cer
tain Republicans who had sown seeds
of discontent over the Dingley tariff
chose ex-Speaker Cannon as the
"Jonah" on whom to heap the burden
of blame and that they preached the
false theory that the high cost of
living was due to the Dingley tariff.
Free Trade Charge Resented.
Senator Gronna insisted that the
tariff had nothing to do with the
overthrow of Cannon and that he was
attacked only to end an era of auto
cratic domination of the House. He
also denounced hotly inferences that
progressive Repubycans had at that
time demonstrated free trade tenden
cies and charged that Republicans of
"the Old Guard" had sought to subject
the farmers of the country to free
trade In agricultural products.
Republicans held the floor through
out the day's discussion. Senator Gal
linger predicted a return of the country
to the protective tariff policy and as
sailed the Underwood tariff in un
reserved terms.
"The history of the 10 months dur
ing which the Underwood act was oper
ative under normal conditions," said
he, "was sufficient to justify our pre
dictions, and further, to put the stamp
of disapproval upon the law, which,
but for the war, would have ruined
most of the industries of the United
States, and which, if still in effect at
the close of that war. will make this
country the dumping ground for all
the surplus products of foreign labor.
In the first 10 months of the Under
wood law there was an increase of
$88,000,000 in imports and a decrease of
$312,000,000 in exports.
Factories Closed Down.
"Sugar factories closed down or were
opeiated under reduced conditions,
steel mills drew their fires, woolen
mills retrenched, many cotton mills
wore forced out of business, factories
that remained open reduced their out
put, stocks depreciated. 3.000.000 wage
earners were out of employment, the
largest percentage since 1894-1897.
Freight cars to ihe number of 350.000
wtre idle, as were the locomotives and
engineers, freight handlers, firemen
and others depending upon their oper
ation, 60 per cent of the railroad mile
tute of the country was in the hands
-f receivers. di idends were passed,
railroad gross earnings dropped $100,
000,000 in the 10 months, or $10,000,000
a month; breadlines were the longest
ever known, and there was the greatest
demand for charity. "When we pre
dicted these things we were called
"calamity howlers,' but I am reciting
bistory now.
"Disappointed and suffering citizens,
nrown desperate by these conditions,
when they ventured to ask for relief
were told by the President that the ap-
Jiarent distress was "purely psycho
ogicaL' Trade Balance Wiped Oat.
"By June. 1915. our trade balance
was wiped out and reversed, showing
imports of $233,000,000 more than our
exports. The record is certainly a ter
rible indictment against the Democratic
party, and it does not require a stretch
of the imagination to predict that never
again will such an industrial catas
trophe occur as was brought about bv
this minority-elected Administration."
Senator Weeks attacked the proposed
doubling of the income tax, which, he
said, was designed originally to be
used only in a great emergency, and
Senator McCumber showed through the
export statistics, had it not been for
the war in Europe, the business of the
United States would have been demor
allied.
Senator "VVadsworth criticised the
principle of the revenue bill, asserting
that, if it were followed in future, it
wouia aeveiop into an effort on the
part of Congressmen to tax commodi
ties which would least affect their own
constituencies. The New York Senator
called attention to the fact that susr-
1". gestlons of the President for emer-
, gency taxation, made in his opening
message to Congress, had been entirely
- disregarded. Amonsr the commodities.
"- he said, which the President suggested
were gasoline, .automobiles and iron
.". and steel products, none of which are
taxed in the pending bill.
Fish Section Advocated.
Senator Jones advocated a section of
the pending bill proposing to prohibit
the admission of halibut and salmon
from the North Pacific Ocean through
t-.anaaa, except in bond from an Ameri
can port.
The Democrats of the finance com
mittee today agreed to strike from the
bill the proposed stamp tax on insur
ance policies, against which there has
been a flood of protests. An amend
xnent to the bill by Senator Hitchcock
proposes a. graduated tax on news
print paper selling for more than $45
a ton to check the advancing price of
the paper. Senator Overman introduced
. amendments to provide that the pro
posed 5 per cent tax on manufacturers
of materials entering Into the making
of munitions, especially into gun
powder, should not apply to agricul
tural products. The amendment is de
signed especially to exempt cotton.
More than $12,000,000 has been expended
by the Cigarmakers' International Union In
caring for its sick, unemployed and des
titute members and families during the last
89 years.

Congress Lining Up for Last
Big Legislative Drive.
DEBATE TO BE CURTAILED
Wild Horses, Say Senate Lieaders,
WU1 Not Be Able to Hold Quo
rum After Deficiency and
Revenue Bills Pass.
WASHTNGTON. Aug. 25. Congress is
getting ready to adjourn next Friday,
if possible, ignoring all threats of
members to Dress special bills for con
sideration over protests of Administra
tion leaders.
It is expected that a Joint resolution
to provide for adjournment Friday
night will be submitted to both Houses
next week as soon as the general de
ficiency appropriation bill has passed
the House, probably on Tuesday. Dem
ocratic leaders declare the discussion
will be abbreviated, and that this will
operate to check a threatened, pro
longed fight in the Senate over the
Owen corrupt practices bill, which
aroused a fusillade of charges ana
counter charges of political corruption
yesterday.
Senator Owen a determination to ae-
mand a vote on a motion to take up
the corrupt practices bill still hangs
over the Senate, but several influential
Democrats said today his motion, if
he got an opportunity to make it, would
be defeated. Senator Smith, or BOutn
Carolina, intends to seek another op
portunity to pass the immigration bill
and he might get it through if it could
be dor.e with ur provoking debate.
After the deficiency and revenue bills
are passod, however. Senate leaders on
both sides say, "wild horses could not
hold a quorum.
To clear the way for adjournment.
Majority Leader Kitchin sent urgent
telegrams today to all House absen
tees, asking that they return at once
for the final legislative drive of the
session. The House has the shipping
bill as amended and the forthcoming
revenue bill conference report to dis
pose of next week. In the Senate it is
planned to lay aside the revenue bill
tj pass the deficiency appropriation
bill as soon as It gets througn tne
House.
"When that is done," said Senator
Simmons, chairman of the finance com
mittee, "all general debate on the rev
enue bill will halt and it will be rushed
through. In the meantime Senate
amendments to the House bill are being
Informally considered with ways and
means committee members, and a final
report will be ready almost as soon
as the bill reaches the House to be sent
to conference. With the revenue bill
passed, I do not think that anything
can stop adjournment of Congress un
less something entirely unexpected
should develop."
If anything should happen to pre
vent adjournment next Friday it will be
necessary for Congress to stay over un
t'l the following week, as President
Wilson will be in New Jersey Satur
day receiving formal notification of his
nomination for re-election.
BRITISH AREKHNING LINES
(Continued From First Page.) '
This move will make possible- a flank
ing movement against Ginchy.
Haig-"s troops now have the advan
tage of advancing: downhill toward
Flers. This village presents strong de
fenses, though they are hardly of. the
character of Guillemont. Thus it is
likely that progress will be faster in
this direction.
The French, by the capture of Maure
pas, cleared the way for flanking
Combles, an important center on the
south. The British today have opened
a path along which it can be flanked
from the north. The allied advanced
lines have now been driven within two
miles of Combles. 1
In considering the Somme battle. It
must be understood that the allies are
depending largely on their artillery and
are unwilling to sacrifice their infantry
merely to gain ground. It is interest
ing to watch the .unity of action among
the Anglo-French troops. One . begins
an attack at the moment when the
Germans assume the initiative against
the other.
FIGHT GROWS IX BITTERNESS
German Effort to Regain Stone
Quarry One of Bloodiest of War.
WITH THE. BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Aug. 21, via London, Aug. 25.
There has been murderous work on
both flanks in the Somme region,
where, with every stage of the British
progress the fighting seems to have
become more bitter and the artillery
nre hotter. On the left the Germans
hold to Thiepval and on the right still
cling to Guillemont.
The result last night of a German
attempt to drive the British out of the
edge of Guillemont, the neighboring
stone Quarry, was one of the most
sanguine since the war began.
The British have been making fur
ther progress east of Delville wood
and further tightening the pinchers on
Ginchy and Guillemont. They pressed
forward tonight another lap toward
Thiepval. and observers witnessed an
other artillery curtain of fire which
utterly silenced the German machine
guns as the British charge picked its
way among shell craters for 400 yards
up a hillside, entered the German
trench and sent back bunches of Ger
man prisoners.
All was seen clearly as if on a stage
and viewed from a gallery, even to the
detail of men standing on the edge of
the trench and throwing bombs as they
might toss biscuits into a basket.
Clearing out the snipers, plodding
ahead with their supplies of bombs and
carrying their light machine guns, that
persistent line of Infantry, under the
cover of the continuous blasts from
their own guns and in the midst of
bursting shells of the enemy, never
faltering, reached the very top of the
ridge at one point for a front of 1000
yards.
They were within only 600 yards of
the pulverized remains of what once
was the. village of Thiepval, which has
become the most redoubtable position
to thousands and thousands of men.
Meanwhile the British kept on send
ing 15-lnch shells into Thiepval and
into the German dugouts which lie
deep under the wreckage of houses.
Spouts of dust and smoke rose to the
height of 200 feet, and what looked
like the bodies of men or sections of
timbers were tossed about.
