of a change
Tho plajers refused to go on tho field
unless they receive a written guarantee
from the commission that each member
of the winning team would recohe $1500
and ench member of the losing team
$1000
This was a compromise proposition the
original demands of the plajers being
$2000 and $H00.
The committee guaranteed that the
winning team would divide among Its
plajers $23,1B2 72, and that the losing
team would dlUde $15,435 15, In ac
cordance with the division of the money

500,000 Tons a Month,
Says Piez
NO MORE OF CONCRETE
Production of the steel shipyards of
tho country, Including Hog Island, will
amount to 500,000 tons a month from
now on until next March, and will be
ample to caro for the war shipping
needs of the country, say officials of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation.
In announcing this today, Charles
Piez, lce president and general mana
ger of the fleet corporation, Bald It
probably would mean the abandoning
of further construction of wood and con
crete vessels by the corporation.
At present forty-three concrete cargo
carriers, totaling 300,000 tons, are under
construction In various j-ards, mostly
on the Pacific coast. The fleet corpora
tion also has designed a number of con
crete barges for other Government de
partments and is supervising their con
struction. Wooden Rlilp to Pass
The concrete ship, however. Is still In
the experimental stape, and the wooden
ship, It Is believed, will no longer have
a stable place in American shipping
after the war, when the need tor It will
have passed. Greater carrying capacity
and the longer life of steel vessels are
the two most Important factors con
tributing to Its supremacy on the seas
"With the war costing tho Govern
ment such a trernendous amountof
money," said Mr, Plez, "the Government
must necessarily concern Itself chiefly
vvlth the essential war needs, and Just
now we do not feel th the concrete

ADVISES CAUTION
MTAXINGWEALTH
Longworth Declares Addi
tional Levies Should Be
Borne by the People
DANGER MARK IS NEAR
Wanhlngton, Sept. 10.
Wealth Is taxed to about the starving
point by tho new war revenue bill, rep
resentative Longworth, of Ohio, declared
In the House today when debate on the
huge tax measure was resumed He
warned his hearers that any additional
taxes levied hereafter must be borne by
people purchasing articles of dally ne
cessity, and said that as the cost of the
war mounts a greater proportion of it
will have to be borne by future genera
tions. Pointing out that Congress Is about to
exact from the American people a sum
which would have more than paid the
entire cost of the Civil War, both to the
Union and the Confederacj-, Mr. Long
worth said the tax of 80 per cent on war
profits and the maximums of 70 per cent
on excess profits and 77 per cent on In
comes was "mighty near tho danger
mark." He added that this Is a bill "to
raise war revenue and not reorganize
Bocletj'."
Warns of Financing- Difficulty
"Just as surely as jou Impose a tax
which amounts to "plunder," said the
Ohio Representative, "Just so surely do
you overshoot the mark and render dim.
cult, If not Impossible, the financing nec
essary to prosecute the war effectively."
Most of the coming issue of Liberty
.Bonds Mr, Longworth said, would be
purchased by Individuals and their pur
chasing power would be affected directly
by the taxes on helr Income.

his big guns. He must rehearse his
hhock troops It took the Germans, a
month to six weeks to prepaie for
each of tho major offensives which
they made this spring and summer.
And Toch will probably have to at
tempt an offensive upon something
like that, if he is to continue without
Intermission the process of hurling
the Germans back into Germanj.
Koch 11 lteerve
Will this preparation mean delay' No
one knows, for the strategy of this war
Is known only In France, but It Is be
lieved that the French commander has
been making his preparations for tho
liV Mow as he has been delivering the
smaller ones by which he has harasied
Hlndenburg s reireai. -iiieiu n mo un

There are other known reserves The
advantage of giving the' Germans no
rest, no time in which to restore their
morale are too obvious to be overlooked
by the generalissimo If he has the
strength in reserve to deliver a major
offensive.
Suc-h a blow may como in some part
' tho Mne which has not hitherto been
active One reason for choosing such a
postlon for attacking Is that prepara
tions can be better made for a great at
tack in such a quarter than in any of
the territory over which tho Germans and
the Allies have bren racing back and

prepared posltlcns havo suddenly lost
their value, It .vill be dltlicult for the

The next few Cays will show Just
how much Koch believes he has. He
will wish to take advantage of the un
settled state of the Oerman army
which has Just fallen back many miles
under live pressure. If he has the men
ready he will doubtless attempt a big
drive. At any rate, tho warfare has
gone back to the phase of last spring.

London, Sept. 10.
Tt Is probable that Ludondorff's
claim that by Sunday he had got his
main bodies behind the Hiudonburg
line is correct. Notthwest of St. Quen
tin, nt Vermand, we are now not more
than four miles from this lino, and
from Vermand northward tho strip of
territorj" between out advanced troops
and tho main German position gradu
ally narrows down until Moeuvro Is
reached, where we are In direct con
tact with it.
South of St. Qucntln, as far as La
J ere, the Ft ench are steadily push
tub in the last Get man rearguards,
and between Lu Tere nnd the Aisne
they are in touch with the main line
The progress has been lather slower
in tho last forty eight hours because
our troop-t have entcied an atea honey
combcil vvlth the defenses which wo
.held at the time of the great German
attack of March 21. Part of these
defenses wo were forced to ubandon
prematurely when they wero turned
bv the Germans from tho south. Some
of them vveie, therefore, probably not
verj much knocked to pieces by the
German bombardment, and are noty
giving the machine gunnel s of the
Get man rear-guards opportunities for
delaying our progress
There Is, however, now no portion
of tho Hlndenburg line which is not
uiiiuciiuuii, jimc wucii is noi i
within
range of our guns and this
htage of the German retreat is vli-
tuully at an end.

The Belgian army added Its blows t6

aualnst the Germans and advanced to
a depth of nearly two miles, capturing !

North Sea.
This advance was carried out overf
a front of three to four miles.

Although little has been heard of
the Belgian army lately It has been
dolmr its bit by shouldering a shoW
but dimcult lino on the western front.
Much of the ground held by the
Belgian) Is marshland and flooded
trenches It was there that the Bel
gians repulsed a vicious attack by the
Germans last spring.
The push todav is the most impor

since they took over this Bvvampy low
ground. One hundred and forty Get- f
man prisoners were captured.
The Belgian advance was carried
out In the zdno west of tho famous
