now are about four miles from Ham

Australian troops have forced a
crossing of the River Somme on a
wide front to the south of Peronne,
after severe fighting. British troops
have captured the towns of St. Christ,

Athies, and are now advancing to tho

Southeast of Peronne the British
have reached Mons-en-Chaussee. The
British are striking directly for St.

shows an advance of four
miles.)
North of Peronne British forces are
In possession of the town of Bussu

By the .Associated Press
With the American Army on the
Alsne, Sept. fi.
With the exception of a few machine-gun
detachments, left to sacri
fice themselves In nn effort to cover
the retreat, the Germans are on the
north side of the Alsne.
The American and Frencli troops,
who have followed closely on the
heels of the enemy since the evacua
tion of the Vesle villages began, are
In contact with the Germans, harass
ing the rear guard nnd hastening the
movement of the whole force.
Long before nightfall yesterday the
Americans worked their way down into
the lowlands toward the Alsne oil the
plateau from which they had been
able to see the cathedral towers in
Laon, not fifteen miles away.
It is at that point where the heart
of the present German operations Is
located. Loon Is a great communi
cation center and must naturally be
defended with the utmost determina
tion If the Allied forces are to be
prevented from driving back to It the
German lines from west and south.
The retirement of the Germans to
positions north of the Alsne Is regard
ed as only preliminary to their re
occupation of their old lines of defense
along the Chemln-des-Dames.
In the first phase of tho conflict
the Germans were driven back mile
by mile end desperate fighting mark
ed almost every bit of the territory
yielded. It was entirely different In
this case: It was, In fact, a strategic
retreat and has cost comparatively
little in men and amunitlons.
So steadily and rapidly was the with
drawal of the Germans carried out
that French cavalry was employed
to maintain contact at one or two
places, the cavalry also contributing
to the location of machine gun nests.
The Americans were subjected at
times to a rather heavy artillery fire,
especially while going over the pla
teau. For about two miles It was nec
essary for them to advance In tho
open over high ground plainly visible
to the German observers. There was

slight effect and without checking to
any degree the forward movement.
The French and American artillery,
meanwhile, delivered a punitive fire
directed against the villages C"id roads
beyond the Aisne and shelled the
points where machine-gun nests were
located. The clearing out of these
nests was accomplished more by the
artillery In this engagement than in
previous battles. These machine guns
had been left by the Germans along
a line admirably constructed. The
usual overwhelmlnR number of nuto
mattes were substituted for men, and
these were so placed that never were
they so far apart that from some
angle a crossfire could not be effec
tively used.

With the American on the AUne,

Chemln-des-Dames to the Hlndenburg
line.
American troops went forward
throughout tho night, .opposed on tho
plateau between the Vesle and the Alsne
by hidden machine-gun nests and by
shell fire from, the heights above the
Alsne. There were several sharp fights
in cleaning out nesta of machine guns
beyond Vauxcere, but our progress was
virtually uninterrupted.
In addition to advancing to the.AIsne,

"In the name of France, 1 send

"Let us not forget that debt of gra

GREAT tli
BILL LAUNCHED
Less Than Quorum Present
at Offering of $8,000,-
000,00Q Measure
WIN-THE-WAR SPIRIT
Absence of Party Feeling No
ticeable Kitcbin Opens
House Debate
Washington, Sept. 6.
The war revenue hill, greatest measure
of Its kind ever brought before the legis
lative branch of any Government, passed
Into tho second stage of Its progress
through Congress today, when It came
up in tho House, with less than one-
third of tho members ready In thelr&,)i
scats to cegin Its consideration.
There was not a ndorum present when
Democratic Lender Kitchln arose to call
up the bill, which provides the means of
raising $24,000,000,000 to pay America's
share for the war for the coming year.
Iteprcsentatlva Longvvorth, Republi
can, of Ohio, warned the House tb.at It
was about tp consider the greatest piece
of legislation In tho world's history' from
point of magnitude, nnd gave notice that
he would Insist at all times on a full
attendance.
Representative Kitchln will distribute
half of the debating time among the
Democrats and Representative Fordney
will allot tho temalnder among the Re
publican speakers. Tho plan Is to pass
the measure through the House and
have It ready for tho Senate In about
ten days.
Partisan Rplrlt Absent
There were no evidences of political
dllvsons. The bill is considered by both
parties as a wln-thc-war measure.
After almost an hour's delay the House
succeeded In getting together about half
Its membership, but a quorum, never
theless. Representative Kitchln got a noisy
and cnthuslsatlc reception when he rose
to make the opening statement describ
ing tho general terms of the bill. Scat
tered "rebel yells" mingled with ap
plause from the Republican side of tha
House.
"There was no partisanship In the
meeting of the Wnys and Means Com
mittee," Kitchln told the House. "It
was all patriotism. I could not tell
who were the Democrats or who wera
the Republicans. I'kncvv only twenty
three patriots."
"Eight billion dollars,' he continued,
is twice ns much as any nation since
the. beginning of time has ever at
tempted to collect from the people by '
taxation and It is three times as much
as the combined taxes and bonds of
tho entire Civil War."
Would Kxempt Officers' ray
An amendment to the bill exempting
from income taxes pay of army, navy '
and marine officers was introduced in
the Senate by Mr. Pomerene. of Ohio,
who said tho olilcerB, particularly' dn
Washington, "are being robbed right and
left by landlords and tailors."
