PARIS, Oct, Office in sald: “While it is not our custom to reply to the {naccuractes of the German press, it seems to us proper to de- nounce the false news published in certain German newspapers concern- ing the pretended destruction of two divisions of French cavalry. This in- formation is absolutely erroneous, The truth is that certain forces of French and German cavalry, with supports, have been engaged for sev- eral days along the front at La Bansee, Estaires and Bullleul, The German cavalry succeeded in making @ very slight advance between the canal of La Bassee and the Lys, but they were obliged to draw back in the territory north of Lys. “The losses sustained by the Ger- man cavalry are assuredly os per- ceptible as our own, One of the Ger- man divisions suffered particularly because it was pursued during one entire day by our aviators, who did not cease to throw bombs down upon the German troops. “Another case is the fact that the Germans announce that they ‘are un- dertaking the investment of Verdun In this instance also, to learn the | truth, it is sufficient to refer to ‘the situation as set forth on several dif- ferent occasions in the French offi- cial communications.

PETROGRAD, ‘Oct. 14 (United Prees).—Fierce fighting west of War- saw was reported in official advices to-day. The German centre, it was sald, had been heavily reinforced and was making an unsuccessful attempt to break through the Russian line. The Russian positions are described as advantageous, and there is no prospect of the assault gaining any headway, The Russian army has the advantage of a strong base at War- saw.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—Proposed taxation of proprietary medicines in the War Revenue bill was ordered stricken out to-day by the Democrats of the Senate Finance Committee.

The committee also accepted amendment to the proposed tax shipments of newspapers. This would eliminate bills of lading in the ship- ment of newspapers and provide tha’ all bundles included in a general Package on a single train or other’ conveyance should be regarded as one shipment. In Hou of bills of lading the amend- ment would require publishers to ianue on the 15th of each month a sworn statement of the number of such shipments made in the preceding month and attach to these statements stamps to the value of one cent for each shipment.

A reduction of $2,000,000 will be made through the striking out of the tax on proprietary medicines, If the falling off in the consumption of beer which has been going on for the past few months continues, Mc- Adoo explained, the total will havo to be reduced to $90,498,286 (not counting patent medicine tax). Inasmuch as the war tax applies only to domestic beers, the expected decrease pointed out by Secretary McAdoo was attributed solely to less drinking of beer by Americans.
