In the Picardy battle center the Cenrnns are trying to stabelize their line from Albert to the south to Chaurles and to check the French ef f .-t to envelop them at Lasigny. There has been an enemy effort of pome ssuccss that to hold the north flank of the line while xhe allies have ptjshed eastward towards Per rionne' and Kam on the southern ed of the front. The Germans in this vicinity have been unable to slow down the progress of the allies.

War taxa tion with all its . problems, and its benefits as well as its evils, is the subject which will occupy Congress almost to the exeiiisioBi of all others fwhen it reassembles for regular ses sions on August 24th. A statesman of an oldlr genera tion once remarked that government was nothing more or les9-jfchan the power to levy and collect $a?es. It is obvious that while the sibject of war taxation has the .attention of Congress it must necessarily com mand the attention of the American people, because, the stability of gov ernment is measured chiefly by its revenue. , ' ' ' The ways aiid means committee of the House, no wNis engaged in the pije- n . i m m ii .

After the bill has been passed by the senate, it will go to "conference" often referred to as the place where bills are really made. Here a joint committee representing senate and house smoothes out conflicting pro visions, arranges compromises for ; hard fought amendments, and final ly, inducing each side to give way a little, or when agreement is shown ; to be hopeless, discarding provisions '. entirely, reports back to both Houses cf Congress a completed bill.
