STILL DEADLOCKED

E DILL Conferees Can't Agree on War Profits Tax -Big Business' Exerts Influence. International New Service : WASMlNfiT.'iX, Sept. j;. Although they were still tightly deadlocked over the war profits tax. the conferees on the $2, .100. 000 war revenue bill were confident of re. idling some definite conclusion at today's sessic n. Failure of the conferees to reach an agreement would cost the gov ernment more than a billion dollars I . of revenue, it is estimated. It would be necessary to postpone enactment of any kind of war taxation until December. Thi would permit billions of war profits and millions of swollen incomes to escape war taxation. War INrofits Problem. The bone of contention between the conferees is the basis of exemption in computing the war profits tax. Fpon their decision hangs hundreds of millions of the gains of the war profiteers. Just what assets to include in capital and how much of a percentage on capital to allow as a normal and reasonable prolit is the problem which the conferees in their two weeks' wrangling have been unable to solve. The war revenue bill has been before congress now more than four months. It has bt en the cause of more controversy than any war measure, or for any matter, any legislation proposed in recent years. The most powerful influence that big business ha-i been able to bring to bear has been exerted in the contest over the bill. The outcome of the conference fight is being awaited with much interest by all members of congress, but particularly by those who fought to force heavier levies upon bi income? and war profits. EADY I DRIVE Complete Capture of Important Plateau and Gain Favorable Positions. International New Service: WASHINGTON. Sept. '2 7. Italian troops have completed the occupation of the Rair.sizza plateau and it is now firmly in Italian hands, according to official dispatches from Rome today. The greatest work is at present being done by Italian aviators, who are scouting over the rear lines of the Austrian army and bombarding' barge bodies of Austrian troops. The- jresenf state of the Italian front appears full of promises and surprises, the dispatches say. The Austrian., thinking the solution of the war is to be expedited only in the result of the tight on this front, are desperately accumulating defenses to oppose a new Italian offensive. New Offensive. Hungarian papers, according to a Ferne dispatch received in Rom.? and transmitted here, say the allies will attempt a new' general offensive before winter comes in order to insure themselves the most favorable positions for tin; definite blow they are preparing for next sparing. These papers say Ge:i. Cadorna's armies are already in position to start a new offensive along the Isonzo. ENGLISH STEAMER SUNK BY ENEMY SUBMARINE Ii.trii.ttio.ial News Servi.-c : AX ATLANTIC PORT.
