German casualties in the. battle for St, Quentin, which now is quieting down, .have been rhost heavy owing to the closes character of the fighting and the sturdy resistance of the Teutons. The sixth 'Brandenburg division was raked to 'shreds yesterday by a machine gun barrage. The villages of Holnon and Lempire have been entirely cleared of small pockets of Germans.. North of St. Hel ene the Australians pushed on. The Germans; were-not disposed to come to grips and only six were made prisoner. In addition to the 18 enemy, divisions engaged on "Wednesday between Gouze aucourt and "the Sorhne prisoners have been -taken from at least two more di visions of the reserve. One of these divisions was withdrawn only a week ago after 'losing 1000 prisoners. The others were withdrawn from Uesle on September 3, after losing 800. Neither of these, units have been refitted or re stored. Despite strong resistance the British drove- the Germans through the , ruins of Moeuvres, gaining the cemetery and the line of railway.

MOEUVRES HAS FALLEN Important Position Near Cambrai Now Definitely British American Big ' Gmus Shelling The Fortress of Metz. (By the Associated Press.) Although there has been somewhat of a let-up in the intensity of the fight ing from the region of St. Quentin to Cambrai in the French theatre, both the British and French armies have been able materially to better their positions in front o fboth Cambrai and j-St. Quentin. Moeuvres,. lying to the west of Cam brai, over which there has been ' such intensive fighting for more than a week, in which the town several times changed hands, now is definitely Brit ish, The large numbers of German dead strewing the ground attest the value they placed on Moeuvres as a point of strategic value in the defense of Cambrai. - , To the south on both sides of St. Quentin the British ana French have moved in more closely the jaws of the fpprw4ifc14seiAf)C poised ulUinalte: ly to pinch St. -Quentin out of the bat tle line. Most 6 fthe German strong points which have been the means of holding back the allied troops in this region .have been overcome and ap parently it is only a matter when Gen eral Foch will give the order for the pressure of the pinchers . and the cap ture ofv St. Quentin. In the region northwe'st of Soissons, the Germans are still using machine guns in large numbers to hold back the French from further encroach ments on the Chemen des Dames posi tions and also are launching heavy counter attacks in efforts to expel the French from the positions they have attained. Notwithstanding these stren uous efforts, however, the French have gained further ground northeast of the Vailly. Little additional fighting has devel oped on the front held by the Ameri cans north of St. Mihiel, but American long range guns are heavily shelling the big German fortress of Metz. In Macedonia the British, Serbians, French and Greeks continues hard af ter the Bulgarians, driving the enemy1 before them and taking large numbers of prisoners. in northern Russia, the allied troops have gained additional successes over the enemy .forces. SCOTTISH TROOPS CAPTURE THE VILLAGE OF MOEUVRES London, Sept. 20. Scottish troops Friday morning finally overcame the resistance of . the Germans still in the village of Moeuvres, west of Cambrai, where there has been much violent fighting recently and completely cap tured the village, according to Field Marshal Haig's communication tonight. METZ IS UNDER FIRE OF AMERICAN CANNON Newspaper In the Fortress City Pub Ilsne An .Article Relative to the Bombardment. Amsterdam, Sept. 20. Metz is under fire of American cannon. An official communication relative to the bom bardment is published in the news paper of that city, according to a Ber lin dispatch. It follows: "The enemy for several days, has been bombarding Metz with a long range gun .Such 'bombardment has been always possible throughout the war and has long, been expected. Mod ern guns have a longer range than, for example, from south tff Pont-A-Mous-son to Metz. The present bombard ment, therefore, is in nowise connect ed with the fact that the enemy, after our evacuation of St. Mihiel salient, drew nearer to the town. It is only a concomitant phenomenon of the present battles west and, southwest, of Met and will cease when' these bat tles come to a standstill. Regulations regarding entry and departure from the fortress zone, therefore, are un altered." Nine Inch Guns and Larger. Washington, - Spt. 20. The forts of Metz are under fire of American guns of nine-inch and larger calibre,' mem bers of the house military committee were told today at their weekly- con ference with acting " Secretary Crowell and Ojther war department J officials. : " - Remain.

Washington, Sept. 20. Changes in the battle situation in France are foreshadowed by the impending cap ture of St. Quentin and the clearing of St. Gobain forest, indicated by the unfaltering progress of the British and French armies to be only a. matter of a few days. Both allied and Ameri can military officials here are. confi dent that new blows will f afl immed iately on the Germans, denying them any rest or chance to reorganize their battered units, but the actual plans of Marshal Foch are as much . of a mystery here as they are in Berlin. It appears ( certain that General Pershing's first army has for the mo ment completed its alloted task, hav ing blotted out the St. Mihiel salient and restored railways to allied use. It was pointed out today in addition the new American positions In the vicinity of Metz constitute a direct threat at that fortress. As yet, how ever, there is nothing to indicate that the American commander has embark ed on the far-reaching campaign which would be necessary to capture this German stronghold. , ' For the moment ;the allied offensive effort is concentrated on the St. Quen-tin-La Fere-Laon ifrpnt. . There is", therefore, a stronj1 vfeeling h.ere that larger operations' nCttce1 immefllaeftr ture hinge on breaking the enemy's resistance in this region and forcing him to a new retirement. The Germans are known to be fev erishly -active in the preparation of a new line of efense along a wide front roughly paralleling the Hindenburg line and some eight or 10 miles far ther to the east. Again behind that front, according to information here, they are at work on two other de fense positions and are prepared to fall back by stages, fighting as he goes, if he is unable, as is now indi cated, to hold his present front. The capture of St. Quentin and clear ing of St. Gobain forest, it is felt here, will almost certainly send the enemy's main forces back to the first of his new defensive positions. It is when that movement begins that the mo ment for launching a new offensive will come, in the opinion of many ob servers here. Throughout more than, two months of unceasing battle on other parts of the western front since Marshal Foch struck his first eounter last July the Rheims-Verdun front has remained quiet. To the eastward Pershing has cleared up the St. Mihiel salient and many officials feel that a thrust be tween the two French fortresses of Rheims and Verdun now is to be ex pected with the purpose of flanking the whole German front to the north and at the same time paving the way for a campaign, against the .great Metz-Thionville stronghold. There are enormous difficulties to be faced in the breaking of the German grip "n Lorraine by the reduction of Metz, it has been pointed out. It is not possible to regard that city as a single fortress which might be en circled and cut off. Tn effect, a whole block of country some 30 square miles surrounding Metz and Thionville 'has been turned into a vast fortress. Beyond doubt, it is i said, the position is stronger than Verdun against which the German army, at the top of its power, proved unavailing. Metz was created by the Germans as an offensive post from which when the time came to hurl a great army into France.. German maneuvers al ways took on that character and Ver dun and Nancy .were girded with steel as the French answer to that threat. Officials here feel, that the Ameri can people should fully realize the great strength of this position and not pin their hopes to anyswift campaign by Pershing's men for its capture. The thing can be done, it is said, because any fortified ,-position can. be blasted away by modern artillery and with the huge American neavy ordinance coming forward to supplement the French guns, a concentration would be possible that could sweep away the hills themselves But it would take time and infinite labor and "there may be other ways of reaching the same end.

Washington, Sept. 20. President Wilson will fix the price of cotton, plac ing the last of the principal commodi ties necessary, in the prosecution- of the war under government regulation, despite strong pressure from the south ern states. In addition to determining the price, the government will take over control of the distribution of this year's crop. The decision of the "president, defi nitely announced at a conference this week with senators and representatives from the cotton states, became known today. Plans to carry out the decis ion are said to be under way. - Agitation for . fixing cotton prices -has been prevalent for a number of months, owing to the rapidly mount GERMANY DID NOT AWAIT AN EXCUSE Was Preparing For War At Least Six Weeks Before Sarajavo Incident.

Another con vincing . link in the proof , that Ger many was preparing to start a war of world conquest at least six weeks be fore the excuse for it was offered by the assassination of the Austrian heir apparent at Sarajavo, concludes the amazing series of disclosures which the American government has given to the public through secret docu ments brought out of Russia. . Two authenticated documents are included in the final chapter of the story which began a week ago with evidence removing any doubt that may have existed that the Russian bolshe vik government, headed by Lenine and Trotsky, is a, tool of the imperial Ger man government. One of these is an original circular from the German gen eral staff dated June 9, 1914, directing that all industrial concerns be noti fied to open their secret instructions for 5 industrial .mobilization. Another, dated November 29, 1914, is from the. German naval general staff, and re veals that within four months after hostilities began in Europe, "destruc tion agents" were ordered to Canada and the United States to hire anar chists and escaped criminals for the bomb plots and work of terror which finally played a part in drawing the United States into the war. : In, addition to this anthenticated evi dence, Edgar Sisson,.who obtained the papers for the committee on public information, offers a remarkable group of circulars put out in Russia text at Petrbgrad last winter purporting to ba copies of documents taken from the archives of the counter-espionage bureau of the Kerensky government supplemented by some from the files of the same bureau before the fall of the czar. Some of this matter has been published previously in France and iv. this country. The circulars tell of German arrange ments six months before the outbreak of war for the establishment of the financial agencies in bordering central countries which" latter furnished the" money for the operation of the bolshe vik!; of prdera to German v banks tj establish close . and secret relations with American and Finnish banks; or the launching of revolutionary pro paganda against the czar's government in Russia as early as November,. 1914, and of instructions to German diplo mats ir all neutral countries v:o co operate with agencies set up in ;hose countries: for stirring up social un rest, strikes and sentiment igalnst war. within the enemy,, states. . , Thp; name of Seheidemann, the er nian socalist lead already me ntio.i- involved. in the, dealings of the Ger man go vernmen t , with bolshevik!, ap pears to one of the unauthenticated do--cuinebts. - It is a note announcing that 150 kroners had oeen placed 'o the e.-edit if a - Russian newspaper ard asking that Vorwaertz (the- name of ths Scheidcmann's organ at BerVn) publish what appeared in the subsidized journal.' :,;V --'f- ' : An appendix to ' the concluding -installment is what .purports 0 be . a transcript of a unique telegraphic con versation between Tscbern in now ool slievik foreign minister at ' Pecrograd and ' Trotsky,; at , .

Feigen span, president of the United States Brewers association, tonight made pub lic a letter to Senator King, chairman of the senate , sub-committee on the judiciary, 'in which he "frankly and freely confessed" that the association furnished Arthur Brisbane funds to finance the purchase of the Washington Times. . ' Feigenspan also admitted that ' the association and the brewing interests have maintained lobbyists at Washing ton and in various state capitals "whose business it was where possi ble to protect us and checkmate those representing the opposition to our in dustry." Charges of disloyalty or pro-Germanism, both personally and on behalf of the association,, were vigorously de nied by Feigenspan who asked that he be permitted tosappear before the sub committee fed questioning "without limit" on all 'the charges involved in the communication regarding the pur chase of the Washington Times sent to Senator King by A Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian. Declaring that for the last 25 years, an organization has existed with the avowed purpose of utterly destroying the brewing industry and has "spent dollars where we have been able to 1 spend pennies" Mr. Feigenspan ''"frank ly confessed" that the brewing indus try generally, "in common with every other business, every other organiza tion and every other industry in the nation affected by local, state or na tional legislation has bn represent ed at these legislative centers by gentlemen, usually lawyers of recog nized ability and unquestioned integ rity, but commonly referred to as lob byists, whose business it was to try, where possible, to protect us and checkmate- those representing the op position to our industry." He further "frankly and freely admitted" that the brewers, "in common with, every other industry and every, other business in the country have' tried to get before the public every fact that we felt fair ly favored the preservation of our busi ness, even to the extent of supplying the finances for the initial payment on the purchase of the Washington Times." r Feigenspan declared, however, that the "attempt through inunendo to associate the Times transaction with ."certain notorious pro-German activ ities terminating in the control of the New York Evening Mail, is a gratui tous insult, a dastardly and outrage ous libel and unworthy of any repre sentative of this . American republic. Unequivocally denying, both on his own behalf and : that of the brewing industry, any charge against his loyal7 ty, Feigenspan said be wished to "fling the charges back in the face of those who made them" - and offered to match his record with - .that of "any man, of high or' low degree, in this nation.

PASSES HOUSE b UNANIMOUS VOTE Provides $8,182,000,000 and Is Largest Bill of Its Kind In History. SENATE IS YET TO ACT Leaders There Say All Possible Speed In Its Passage Is i Assured. J Washington, Sept. 20. The house late today passed the war revenue bill, designed to raise by taxation approx imately $8,182,000,000 of the 24 or, more, billions needed by the nation for the" current year. The huge measure the : largest of its kind in the history, of any nation now goes to the senate. . Passage of the bill was unanimous. A formal roll eail, demanded by Ma jority .Leader Kitchin, .recorded 350 yeas and no nays which, when an-' nounced by Speaker Clark, was greet ed by . roar of cheers and applause. All possible speed In the bill's course through the senate is assured, accord ing to leaders, the senate finance com mittee having concluded formal hear ings. Desire for the bill's enactment before the November elections has been expressed by . leaders of both houses but this is considered doubtful. Con sideration of the measure by thefhouse today prior to the vote was brief. An amendment by the house ways and v means committee which drafted the bill'"' : extending the, depletion allowances to gas and oil wells and mines to include .J'timber and other natural deposits' was adopted. s r , Representative Moore v,of Pennsyl vania, republican, renewed his propos al for a committee to . supervise war . expenditures ( but it was , disposed of on a point" of order as was. another amendment offered -by Mr. 'Moore .for , a house committee to investigate means -of preventing wasteful expenditures. " Representative Good of Iowa, repub lican, made, a vigorous but futile fight ' for his amendment to provide $3,500 exemption for income, taxes for per sons serving in the military establish ment overseas instead of limiting the : exemtption as proposed in the bill to government salaries. A substitute . amendment by Representative Austin of Tennessee, republican, to exempt all privates from income taxation also was rejected. An amendment in the interest of . wine producers was denied considera tion because of objections by Repre sentative Stafford of Wisconsin, repub- v lican. It provided that wine growers could extract, alcohol '"from wine and sell non-alcoholic beverages. , Just before the final vote, Represen- tative Longworth of Ohio, republican, characterized the bill as "a mighty good Job" and the "best answer the ' American congress can give to the whining peace proposal from Aus-v.1. tria." - j As passed over to the senate, the principal - revenue-producing sources . , of, the measure incomes, war excess , profits, liquors, tobacco, and luxuries- . were approved by the house substan-s tially as drafted unanimously by the ways and means committee after three: . months' labor. . Roughly the;total tax , levy doubles present returns from ia-v, ternal revenue under existing laws. In the senate, mounting war expen-' ses and revenue reduction by prohibi- v tion are factors entering into revision .i. expected to be extensive. Much senate sentiment exists for reduction of the ' bill's aggregate levy, while Secretary McAdoo already has dissapproved any substantial increase., Major tax features of the bill, as transmitted to the senate and estimat ed revenue yields include: . Income tax: Individuals' normal rate . increased from 5 to 12 per cent, with, the first $4,000 at per cent and ex emptions of $1,000 for single $2,000 for . married persons $14,000,000. y , Individual surtaxes In incomes over $5,000; present ranges of one to 65 -per cent increased from two 63 per cent, $1,068,000,000,:. v Corporations' incomes increased from ' six to 18 per cent., but- with only 12 per cent payable on dividends distribu- v ted, debts paid and new Liberty bonds , bought $894,000,000.
