"The conscrlptlon-of-wcalth" inneincnt scored a notable ailvancu this afternoon when the Senate, by a oto of 74 to n, adopted the Gerry amendment adding ap proximately $40,000,000 to the ley on in dividual Incomes over $500,000. The" amend ment authorizes a levy of C7 per cent on Incomes In excess of $1,000,000. Wealth-conscription advocates won a second victory when, by ,i vote of 35 to 32, tho Senate approved the Fo-called Lcn root hurtax on Incomes between $80,000 and $500,000. The Lcnroot rate of 13.75 per cent., adopted by the House, was re duced to 12 per cent by the Senate Finance Committee. After the Scnato by viva voce vote bad put back Into the hill all the Lenroot lax rates on Incomes from $30,000 to $500,000 In place of lower rates voted for by the Senate Finance Committee. Senator La Folletto offered a substitute for the entire Income tax section of the bill. Thia substitute begins with a 1 per cent tax on incomes of $5000 and runH to "ill per cent tax on incomes of more than $47,500. Previous to the adoption of the amend ment, Senator Lodge has predicted that before the war was over the Government would have to take 00 or even SO per cent of war profits. Ho defended the present bill on tho gtound that American credit must not be Imperiled, Ho argued that to begin by mak ing the tax rato too high, following Gov ernment regulation of many Commodity prices, would dlstuib business, cut off profits, nnd ruin sources of tevenue. Senator Lewis, of Illinois Injected a sen sation In to the discussion by prophesying that unless wealth Is conscripted tho peo ple will eelzo tho resources of the nation. Ho attacked tax dodgers, saying they have swindled the Treasury of vast sums. Senator Towncnd, of Michigan, also de clared himxelf In favor of taking all war profits, since the war Is not popular. Senator Lodge also asserted that peace at the present time Is impossible. "No peace without complete, victory for Amctica and her allies Is possible," he said.

Alarming proportions were assumed by the strike of shipyard workers today when the Chester Shipbuilding Company's plant, nt Chester, wns forced to close down be cause virtually the entire force of employes had quit. Tho plant was constructing eight large ships for the Government. General Manager W. P. Smith said that tho trouble did not come ns a formal strike, but that the men simply failed to nppear for work. Ho said he doubted whether tho walk-out was pai t of the general strike. Twelve hundred of the men failed to re port yesterday, but work was continued. When an additional 300 were missing today, the plant was closed. The grievance of the men Is purely one of wages, it is said, and tho union's demand for an eight-hour day Is not considered vital by the Chester men. P. J.

Germany's campaign! of "air frightful ncss" against England was renewed on a big scale early today, two attacks being made against the east coast. Two airplanes vvero downed and tho air ships driven off before they could venture over )ho land any distance. The damago as officially reported showed eleven killed and thirteen wounded at Dover in the airplane raid and three killed and two Injured by the airships' bombs. A hospital and sevcstil buildings were damaged at Ramsgate by the airplanes. A chapel and several houses were wrecked and damaged In three small coast villages In Yorkshire by the airships. Only two of the dirigibles ventured over land there. For the first time In months Germany used airships in an ntfhck off the Yorkshire coast last night. A statement, issued today by Lord French, said they were sighted off the coast and one had attacked points around the mouth of the River Humber. dropping bombs, then making oft toward the sea. Margate and Dover are In Kent, near the mouth of ithe Thames. Possibly tho Ger man raiders were bent on following the Thames up tolLondonv Tho Humber River and Yorkshire are at least 165 miles north of the Thames. Hull, one of the great shipbuilding centers In England, Is a short distance up the Hum tier. Probably the attackers were not Zep pelins, as it haH heretofore been the practice of official statements specifically to name such marauders as Zeppelins if they were of thin type. They may have been observa tion dirigibles, like the British "blimps."
