LONDON, Sept. 9. The albe j

according to French official -jr"fc I
which can only be preliminar of

northeast of Paris, to the f' f.rr i. I

; tlits" left .snd center betwtti. 4i .i.t
mir.iil and Vitry le Francois, ovei .
fivnt of from fifty to sixty rail?
but each time they have been irivn
back.
This is not surprising to miiuatj
men, as the Germans have been
tompolled to advance through the
swamps of Petit Morin. then over
bare uplands to an extremely strong
French position on ihe right. It is
theiv only chance, however, and it is
expected they will strike and strike
again.
They are bringing their reinforce
ments from Chalons on the roads
leading to Fere-Champenoise, Some
sous and Sompuis, in the face of the
French artillery poised on the heights
which gave it great advantage. Gen
eral Pau. who commands the center
'f the French army in this district,
is reported to be advancing north of
Sezanne toward a plateau which com
mands the center of the whole bat
tlefield. On his left the British force has
driven the Germans across the Grand
Morin and Fetit Mo.'in rivers, toward
the Marne itself, while on the ex
treme left the French Sixth army, ad
ancing from Paris along the Ouvcq
river has had further successes,
threatening General Kluck's com
munications. In the east the Germans so far
liave failed in their attempts to
I reak across the rivers, through hills
f Argonne between Vitry le Fran
ois and Verdun on the right wing
of the allies.
Again, according to French reports,
there has been no action against the
ejrand Couronne or Nancy. In the
Ycsgcs. the Alsace situation remains
unchanged. All this favorable news
his cheered the allies, but military
ritics warn the public that the bat
tle has not yet been won. There will
probably be a week or more of
Tghting before a decisive vesult is
i-ttained either way.
There is a possibility that the
Germans are trying to draw the allies
into an attack upon the high ground
that lies between the Marne and
Aisne, about Rheims. and while it Is
l.elieved that some of the edge has
ten taken off the German defensive,
it is not at all probable that it is
j.II removed.
General .Toffre, the French- corq-irander-in-chief.
however, has won
some points. He gained the time he
required, is in better position and
has completed his concentration, so
that he is now believed to have a
fair chance against Invaders who
have hewed their way from Mons to
the gates of Paris.
There is still a pause in the op
erations in East Prussia, doubtless
due to the paucity of troops on the
lirt of Russia, which has always had
eiifficulty in transporting troops
westward. Besides the defeat they
suffered in the fighting between
August 21 and 27 may temporarily
have taken the sting out of their at
tacks. In England, where the saying Is
"Britain is only just starting," the
greatest enthusiasm was created by
the king's messages to India, the
df minions and colonies. In which he
thanks his over-seas colonies for the
promptitude with which they have
responded to the call from the moth
er count ry.
India alone is sending 70.000 troops,
"Kitchener's Pets." as they have beep
railed since Field Marshal Kitchener
reorganized the Indian army. They
include the army of occupation and
the native forces. The latter are M
b commandod by princes and chiefs.
Besides this. India is to pay the
c.tst of transporting her troops to
I.urope and the Indian princes are
fending really fabulous gifts to the
war funds being raised in their own
country and England. The dominions
nisi the colonies have placed their
ships, men and money at the disposal
' 'he home government so that the
whole forces of the empire have been
lecruited against her enemy.
In the United Kingdom recruiting

Managers Make Appeal to
President, Who Thinks
They Need Assistance, but
Is Making No Promises of
Immediate Action.
ASSOCIATED PRSSS OISrATCU
WASHINGTON. Sept. 9 The pres
ident began consideration tonight of
an appeal laid before him by a com
mittee of railroad executives represent
ing every large railroad in the country.
He was asked to aid the railroads in
tiding over tne financial difficulties
arising from the war In Europe. No
specific plan was presented.
The railroad men were hopeful atter
the conference that the president
through a public letter or otherwise
might show that he believed they had
laid the groundwork for a consideration
of specific requests to be made later.
These requests are understood to in
clude a postponement of the considera
tion of the railroad securities bill now
pending in congress, legislation allow
ing the inter state commerce commis
sion to take general conditions into
consideration in passing on petitions for
rate increases and reopening the rec
ently decided advance in freight rate
cases. After the conference the rail
road executives met the members of
the interstate commerce commission.
At the White House it was said the
president would give a careful consid
eration to the problem. He indicated
his sympathy with the railroad men's
appeal but had made no promises. J
He is understood to favor the view
that the railroads need assistance.
The specific requests of the railroad
men were: "That the president call the
attention of the country to the press
ing necessity for the support of rail
road credit by the co-operative, sym
pathetic effort of the public and of all
governmental authorities to remove
immediate burdens involving additional
expense.
"That the president urge a practical
recognition of the fact that an emer
gency is on the railroads which re
quires in the public interest, that they
have additional revenue, and that ap
propriate governmental agencies seek
a way by which such additional reven
ues mev be properly and promptly
provided. '
"The credit of the railroads," said
the statement, "was seriously impaired,
as we believe, before the war started
and they are now confronted by an
emergency of a magnitude without a
parallel in history."

The few returns received yesterday j

LATER SCHEME
NOW PROPOSED
Abandonment of Rivers and
Harbors Bill Which Advo
cates Say Would Make
War Tax Unnecessary
Other Propositions.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. The presi
dent's disapproval of the proposal to
increase the income tax as a means of
raising revenue to offset the treasury
deficit caused by the European war, set
the democratic members of the ways
and means committee to revising their
plans. They will renew their effort to
draft a war revenue bill tomorrow. The
president made his attitude known at
a conference with the democratic lead
ers in congress.
Preliminary steps were also taken
by the democratic senators to readjust
the pending $53,000,000 rivers and har
bors appropriation bill against which
the. republican senators conducted a
filibuster on the contention that the
JlOO.OuO.noo war revenue bill will be
unnecessary if the new projects pro
posed in the bill be abandoned.
Senators Burton, Gallinger, Borah
and others insisted that the bill in Tfs
present form should not be passed, par
ticularly in view of the financial emer
gency now presented. The senators
who champion the bill asked the war
department for revised estimates on
the amounts absolutely necessary to
carry on the existing river and harbor
works and the most urgent new pro
jects in anticipation of pruning the bill.
It was reported tonight that a con
ference between the republican sena
tors opposing the bill and democratic
leaders was held at which suggestions
were made for a compromise, paving
the way for an early adjournment and
removing much of the senate opposi
tion to the war revenue tax.
The democratic members of the ways
and means committee conferred infor
mally today. They were not all disap
pointed by the president's disapproval
of their decision to increase the income
tax of one half of one per cent, to de
crease exemption. The president's
principal objection is said to be that
such a tax was immediately available
and therefore undesirable.
Chairman I'nderwood, discussed the
subject with the president. He is In
clined to agree with this view and ft
is probable that an income tax
amendment will be proposed.
Cigarettes will probably be added to
the list of taxable commodities already
agreed to. such as beer, wines and rec
tified spirits. A plan is also under
consideration to make the tax, on beer
one dollar a barrel which will yield
J65.OOO.0OO. That amount together with
510.onn.000 from wines. $2,000,000 from
rectified spirits and probably $5,000.1)00
from cigarettes and probable taxes on
railroad freight, gasoline, automobiles,
some proprietary articles and soft
drinks, it is estimated will yield all tlie
revenue necessary, particularly if it is
determined not to appropriate all of the
$5.1.000.000 proposed for rivers and har
bor work.
Representative Oglesby of New York.
in a letter to the committee suggested
n tax of 50 cents a horsepower on au
tomobiles, not engaged In commerce
and a tax on golf balls. He estimated
that $25,000,000 would he realized from
an automobile tax. Official estimates
however, are that $15,000,000 would be
raised on motor cars.
The proposal to put a general tax
on railroad freight is the main ques
tion now before the committee. The
real issue is said to be whether to make
up the necessary balance of revenue
by a tax on freight traffic or by diffus
ing the tax among many lines of busi
ness. A levy on freight, it is estimat
ed would easily produce $40,000,000 rev
enue hut there is considerable oppo
sition in both houses. This question
will be decided tomorrow.
