The people of the United States will not tolerate fur ther taxation of life's necessities, Sen ator LaFollette, Wisconsin, told the senate today in a speech flaying the government s war finance policy. If the attempt is made, lie suid, the moss of the peoplo will lose confidence in tno war. He urged immediate con scription of big incomes and war prof its, to make wealth pay the bigger share of tho cost. Ho predicted that war expenditures si tno present rate will reach thirty to forty billion dollars next year alone. The majority make a passing sug gestion that at some other time moro convenient to tne owners of big- in comes and huge war profits there will be another tax bill. At the next ses sion, or in the next congress or in the next world "But why not now why put it off? Whoso interest is to be served by keep ing down taxation on income and war profits, and mortgaging the masses to the money lenders" LaFollette urged striking out consumption taxes on tea, coffe and sugar and raising all the revenuo through increases, in the war profits and incomes- He would increase the sum to be raised by the bill $1.- 500,000,000, making it total $3,506,970,-000. I am no prophet, but I am greatly mistaken if the people accept this bill. Consumption taxes upon the necessar ies of tho people will be no longer tol erated in war. Surely it is not too much to ask that they be relieved of the burdens of war taxation, until those who profit by the war and those who live in luxury and security have con tributed a substantial portion of their surplus" wouia uonnscate wealth He urged the senate to "declare here and now that the wealth of this country will be taken as mercilessly through the power of taxation as men are taken by the force of the draft." "In this great cataclysm of destruc tion," said LaFollette, "when thrones are tottering, and -eabinets changing almost daily because they do not meet the popular will; when the cry of dis tressed and suffering is heard around the world, when governments are ans wering with bullets their people's cry for bread, when the people everywhere are asking for peace while their gov ernments are demanding war; when our own government is raising by draft a million men, eighty five per cent out of every hundred of who are protesting against being loreed 'into , the army, this is not the time to adopt this un just financial policy. :-T .

E. Thomason at "Maple Lawn" under the .huge maple which was decorated with twelve large American flags, Thursday August 10th, Besides the prisoners who composed the Honor Gang employed at pulling flax, many persons of the surrounding vicinity were present. The program of the evening began with a selection by the band boys who were members of Walter Thompson's gang. Next came a very educative and interesting discourse upon flax, its cul ture, growth, ancient and modern meth ods of manufacture. This discourse was ably given by J. Sidney Starling, pres ident and general manager of the Pa cific Coast Linen Mills of Portland. Next on the program came a band selection, "Evening Shadows," this was followed by a vocal solo, "Pussy foot Prance," by Jess Taylor, encore, " When the Sun Shines down in old Alaska." A boxing exhibition of four rounds duration came next, In which was shown some exceptional speed and clcv ernoss, both boxers, Taylor and Nelson, were in prince of condition and worked so hard in their attempt to please their audience that the referee was forced to call the bout a draw. A number of songs were sung by Brown during the intermission between the foregoing and the following bout. The latter bout was a more tame affair inasmuch as Spot Smith had no previous ring experience while his opponent, Abe Roehstein, is an old timer. , Coyote Bill of world fame, accom first lines in an amazingly short time after leaping over the parapets. The Germans sent out hurry calls and mass ed great reserves, but in vain. Later special stross-truppen uuits (picked storming troops) were assembled for counter attacks several at Beaumont at once. In all the hell of fire in tho air one picture stood out vividly. It was an attack made by a German airplane on a French observation sausage" bal loon. The French observer leaped out of his basket, but his parachute caught on the edgo, leaving him suspended hundreds of feet over the earth. The German flyer dareed gaek and deluged the air with a hail of machine gun bul lets as French soldiers down below pull ed frantically to bring the sausage down. When the balloon was finally brought back to earth, the observer was disentangled, absolutely unharmed. Prisoners who poured back hchin.l tho lines 'in a steady stream today were authority for the statement that an average of a hundred Germans desert ed each day during the weeks fearfully concentrated artillery preparation for the attack. They described the effects of the French shells as nerve shatter ing. Germans in the front line trench were half crazed from the inferno of noise and death around them. Scores crawled away from their positions rather than face the French bayonets after such an artillery pounding Austrians Lose 20,000 I By John H. Heaxley (United Press staff correspondent) Home, Aug. 21. Italy's prisoners in the greatest of all drives her troops have made in tho world war, reached a total of 10,000 today. Semi-official estimates placed .the Austrian losses in dead and wounded at a minimum of this same- figure. On the three fronts today the Ju lian, Carso and Isonzo General Ca dorna's drive was continuing in a fierce combat of men and of tuns that resounded over nearly a hundred miles' of front. Italian airmen reported desperate at tempts by the enemy to reinforce breaches in tho line already achieved oy ino attacKers.

At the lust named place ammunition depot was set afire. On August 20 French pilots brought down 21 German machines, nearly all of which wero utterly destroyed." Similar dispatches today laid em phasis on the ferocity of" tho German counter blows. They were delivered ap parently with every resource of guns and of men that the German war chiefs could muster. Specially picked, train ed men fought madly to eject tho French from their gains. The' battle was continuing throughout today. Germans Repulsed London, Aug. 21.
