Failed to Agree on Excess Profits Tax Washington, Aug. 20.—The —house ways and means committee; aiter ali-day discussion of administrati rrovisions and other betails of tie §8 000,600,000 revenue bill, wus unable to reaci a fipal agreement on the de- tails of the income and excess profits tax schedules. Chairman Kitchin con- ceded that it was doubtful if the bill could be reported to tie house by the committee by next Monday. He an- nounced, however, that there is no question whatever of the .bill raising the total $8,000,000,000 sought. Mr. Kitchin announced that Secre- tary McAdoo in his latest I@tter agreed to the plan of dividing business into groups for purposes of deduction of pre-war earnings, but that a maxi- mum 12 per cent deduction which the committee had proposed to give to mining and kindred hazardous enter- prises was too great and that ten per cent was more equitable. The com- nittee in. all probability will write irto the bill a division of corporations and other business enterprises into two groups for ceduction yurposes in the war profits tax on the basis pre-war earni . These groups pro- bubly will be: financial and transpor- tation’ concerns, including all publiz utilities, § per -cent deduction, and manufacturing, mining, gas and oil well and other ‘miscellaneous business, 10 per cent deduction. Chairman Kitchin made this state- ment: ““The committee has been discussing administrative, reguiations in_the bill not affecting ‘the rates at ail. We adopted a provision for a board which will"draft legislative matters, the board to be composed cf:two members, one to be appointed by tne speaker cf thee house and the other by the vice president as the presiding head of the senate. We have taken no fur- tker action as to earnsd and unearned ircomes, but have asked the treasury department to work out a plan for administrating a_differential of three per cent against unearned incomes, on which the committee reached a tentative agreement tine other day. “The only main problem left is that of excess profits and we will try to ree on that tomorrow. We may {linally pass on the bfll Friday, but it is mot at all certain.” S. 32 ¥ J. HOW WASHINGTON REGARDS NEW FRENCH OFFENSIVE. Washington, Aug. nterpreted at first a local operation intended pr marily to enatie the allies to retain complete possession of the initiative on the Picardy front, the rapidly de- veloped success of the French east of the Oise tonight was accepted by | many military officials here as a defi- nite and fully prepared effort having a specific part in the larger strategic plans of General Foch. Latest advices tonight, describing the advance of the I'rench Tenth army for two and a half miles on a front of more than fifteen miles, was taken by experts her» as conciusive evidence that the major plan of the allied gen- eralissimo 15 tar more comprebensive than has been supposed in most cir- cles. It is believed now to inélude & ill occupy ¥every moment until the arrival of win- ter rains makes, the plateaus of Picar- dy and piains of Fiznders impossible for large troop movements. 5 Most observers agreed that the im- Imediate objective of General Mangin's forces appeared to be the “picking” last|of the Roye pocket, with the subse- | quent control of the important supply lines between that city and Nopen. or the larger objective, toward which efforts of the ailies are being sent. was seen the capture of Noyon and a resultant breakdown of the German defensive line over a front of scores of mile: ’ Activities of the British army east of Arras, around the Merville sector are thougnt to_be linked up with this larger plan. Not a few strategists in rmy circles foresee in the near future a more important thrust by these forces, completing the cycle of offen- sives from Rheims to the sea. P. FRENCH AVIATOR DOWNED THREE PLANES IN 20 SEC. Paris, Aug. 2 ieutenant Rene Fonck, the famous French aviator, who shot down three German airplanes on Aug. 14, as announced officially Sun- day, accounted for all three of them in the record-breaking time of twenty {'seconds. d Fonck went out escorted by two patrolling machines. two-seater battle planes flying in dian file with only a few hundred yards between each. The French fly- er fell upon the first enemy machine with his machine gun. It fe!l in flames in ten seconds. Later he got his sights on the second machine with the same result. The third dodged side- ays before Fonck could take aim and escaped, but by a swift turn of the rudder he dashed at the fourth air- plane and sent it down to join the first two.
