now t^able articles together with increases of taxes on internal revenue and new taxes which reach to the remote. departments of. business and household life are proposed to make up tffb jyearly income of $1,800.000,000.

Increases on postage rates include newspapers which it is proposed to charge on the parcel post zone system: Publishers who are hurrying to Washington and some of thoee who conferred today with ways and means committee members said that such a line of taxation as is proposed upon them practically will' force many out of business.- Mailing charges for papers of average circulation, it was said,, would be increased m^py/thousands of dollars yearly. One draft of the bill proposed to impose a tax of 5 per cent on receipts from advertising but as finally prepared for the house this tax was made not to apply to newspapers and periodicals. The new taxes include levies on life and fire insurance on household electric light bills,telephone bills, railroad tickets, admissions to amusements, club dues, automobiles, pleasure boats, jewelry and practically/ everything thai enters into the life of a family.

In an effort to spread the taxation over the business life as wfell is the social life, of the nation,t new taxes are proposed on corporations, on excess profits and other elements of' commerce.

nicourt, the next German stronghold north of Queant. Decision Far Off. .^Everything indicated that the present struggle on the British front. is regarded on,both sides as one of the most important actions of the war but it may be many days before any decision is reached. The determination with which the Germans are fighting and their strenuous efforts at the concentration of guns and reserves sfiowj tihat the Drocourt-Queant line is regarded by them as of vital importance, and Iwill only be surrendered in the last" extremity.

From two other war theatres news comes that opens up many possibilities. The fighting on the Macedonian front, constantly developing in intensity and extent, gives renewed color to the belief that General Sarrail is initiating operations of major importance and possibly a general offensive. The developments on this front appear to have given fresh impetus to the revolutionary movement in Greece, reinforced by the news that Venizelist troops are on tho firing line and have been victors in thei first clash with their ^hereditary foes, the Bulgarians. The king has been declared deposed at a great mass meeting in Saloniki and ah Athens dispatch says the king's followers are deserting to the provisional government in increasing numbers.

Mesopotamia offers the second point of interest with an announcement from Petr,ograd that Russian troops are .again on the move on the Persian border. The unexplained inaction of these forces was believed in some quarters to have been responsible for the sudden halt in the victorious advance^of the British army fromkBagdad. General Maude's successes had resulted in the practical surrounding of the Turkish army in Mesopotamia when the Russian withdrawal from Mush and the halting of the Russian drivo from Persia changed the situation. The condition of affairs n this remote region is still, however, obscure and presents possibilities rather than probabilities.

PARIS AUTOIST FINED.
