Senator Lodge insisted that it strikes a fair balance.' Its, tx levy, he said, is sufficient and that without dis tnrbing business. Peace on :the status before the war was opp6sed by Senator Lodge, who declared that the United States is fighting -for .its own safety and independence. "We can have no peace "withput complete victory," he aded.4 "I don't believe a German victory is' possible . for "not Senator Lodge defended the con sumption taxes, declaring the princi pal objection came from politicians, public men and statesmen.? Of the jreat amount of letters received by him not one protest from a consumer had come to him, he said.; As ' all classes of consumptions should do their share in furnishing revenues to conduct this war, he approved the tax es on amusements, automobiles and patent, medicines. Senator Lodge contended the chief source of war taxes should-be war profits and that the committee had followed the-lan of nearly all bellig erents. Under the House excess profits plan. he explained, the United States Steel Corporation would pay about $2I400, 000 while under the bill as amended , in the Senate coramitfeeTit would pay about $118100,000 not including about $52,000,000 in other war taxes. Alter protracted debate in which many Senators urged heavier levies on incomes and war profits, the Sen ate today tentatively adopted Sen ator Gerry's amendment which would add $-:o,?,75,000 by greatly increasing surtaxes on incomes exceeding $500,- is crred out; but all the consequence -u-le from the Pope's proposals must be understood to, be included therein, namely, the disappearance of the British naval bases at Gibraltar.

(By 'Associated Pregj).) Washington, Aug. 22. ptficial dis patches received from Russia within ,te last 24 hours are of such a char acter as to cause some concern' over the situation there. They will not be made public or discussed at this time, by American officials, who re gard them as indicating a condition with which the provisional government j has to deal. Sugegstions that the dispatches deal iwith the possibility of the Socialist element gaining an upper hand and forcing some consideration of peace Out of harmony with Russia's allies; or some new undef-current seeking to undermine Premier Kejensky, meet the the reply that the dispatches can- l not be discussed or made public. It is known, however, that they refer to no ' physical event such as would be suppressed by the censor ship at Petrograd, but rather are an estimate of political conditions. The extent of German intrigue in Russia is well known, and the sub ject matter of the dispatches, it is' be lieved, is connected with. that.
