WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. Waste of

charged by Representative Walsh, of
Massachusetts, Republican, in discuss-
ng the war revenue bill today. Citing
orders to publishers to curtail publica

publications and press agents, Mr.
Walsh added:
"The newspapers of America are pa

Taxing children's toys and candy as

he said, "in order to maintain some of
these requirements is indefensible."
Additional -orders affecting news

of print paper.
The board rules that publishers snail
not use premiums, contests or similar
means to stimulate circulation, that no

LONDON, Sept 14. (By the Assool

began a new attack at dawn this morn
ing on both sides of the Allette River
and between the River Aisne and the
Vesle River.
The attack of the French forces in

South of the Allette River the French
captured Mont des Singes and the vll
lages of Allemont and Sancy.
Tne trench also reached the edge Of
tne town oi vailly on the Aisne.
The French advanced for a distance
of between one and two miles on an 11-
mile front.
The attack was launched by the
French at 5 o'clock this morning. One
division at an early hour had taken
1000 prisoners, maklna- a total of 1800
Germans captured on that front alone.
The German counter attack against
the Frenchmen advancing on the
Ailette River front appeared to have
been weak, although the front line
was strongly held. The German pris
oners say they had orders to hold at all
costs.
In their attack south of the River
Aisne the French also made satisfac
tory progress, and captured prisoners.

of the French threatens to turn the
flank of the German defensive posi
tions on the Chemin-des-Dames, and it

which Pastor Mark Comer, of the Ad
vestist Church, upheld the observance
of Saturday as the Sabbath and Rev.

tor from banta Rosa, cu upheld th
observance of Sunday, attracted large
and Interested audiences.
The argument centered around
whether or not the entire moral law Is
contained within the Ten Command
ments and whether or not these were
superceded bv later laws laid down by
Christ himself. Pastor Comer took the
position that these are the laws re
ferred to in all pasaages of the Bible,
which refer to the law, that they
contain the complete moral code and
have never been set aside or super
ceded. Rev. Love's contention was that the
Ten Commandments never contained all
the law and that they were annulled
by the Saviour himself, and the first
day of the week designated as the day
of worship, dating from the resurrection.

Banking Sltaattom Bad,
There Is much speculation among
Russian financiers as to the future of
all the banks in Russia taken over by

The Bolshevlkl found the banks a
great disappointment and were amaxed
at the small amount of money realised

doubtful If any new government would

Clipping In Pocket of Prisoner
Describes Mysterious Death of
Mill Employe.
Joseph Horenstein, aged 28, a Rus
sian who conducts a barber school at
S8 North Second street, was arrested
last night by Patrolmen Hartman,
Phillips and Abbott, of the war emer
gency squad, and charged with viola
tion of the prohibition law. His ball
was set at $1000 and he was released
after a brother, who, the officers say,
conducts a barber school at 2S2 Second
street, appeared at the police station
with ball money.
It is alleged by the officers that
Horenstein has been selling bay rum
and other alcoholic mixtures to cus
tomers. - His arrest followed an in
vestigation made by the officers after
Michael Sinker and Joseph Rochcoff
had been arrested and three bottles of
bay rum found In their possession.
Michael Sinker, who is an employe of
the Northern Pacific Lumber Company,
told the officers, they say, that he
knew John Karsap, an employe of the
Clark-Wilson Lumber Company, who
died under mysterious circumstances
last Thursday at the St. Vincent's Hos
pital. The hospital reported to the po
lice station that the victim had been
poisoned.
