In- 18 FROM THE BATTLL)FRONT, Via Baris, Sept. was the 17th day of hard fighting along tho 150 mile front from the Somme to the Moselle, ami yet there is no definite Indication that the historic battle is nearing a finish.

There are, however, evidences (hat the Germans are re- edinpj before a forcible and sustained pushing from the armies, especially on their west and east wings, while the center, where the Germans are more strongly entrenched than at any other point, remains almost stationary. It is generally concluded by French military experts that some Important move must soon lie made by the Germans, who have found it impossible to stent the advance of the allies, though they offered the sternest and most desperate resistance. The German wings appear to be folding back on the center leaving the sole loophole for a backward movement by way of Rethel. '1 he German main supply base at Kuneville, which is protected by heavy masses of troops, as it is essential that this place shall be held for the revictualling of the German army in northerecstern France, appears to be placed in a somewhat precarious situation with a single line of railroad. The line of battle changed considerably since the beginning of actual contact between the great armies whose number and real position It is not permitted to make public.

BARIS, 30. the ter- riiic fighting in northern and eastern France, the trimps of the Allies have had little sleep. There has been a great deal of fighting, and heavy rains have made the positions of tlie men in the trencnes vastly uncomfortable. The trenches within the circle of forts are cloaked before by mist. and tln-re, hidden under tom- pbrary shelters, a groan or murmur where the soldiers sleep on straw, behind the entrenchments.

The stations of the local lines are filled with straw, and among sacks and accoutrements the more fortunate are asleep, crowded lose, under the oDeu sheds. and there as one moves, shadows loom out of the mist, the close standing Singular lP-tures, hidden in white vapor to the waist. All wearing heavy cloaks of different types, but made uniform by the military cap, the or grounded musket. Tho challenges run round, in subdued tones. Even suspicion seems lulled.

In the truio or the night the mind even of the is passive. The artificial atmosphere that makes all hut known uniform au enemy is forgotten for Hie moment. Looking back at Baris, the city is shoulder deep in white mist. Only tin- spires towers emerge, gray and sleepy. The summit or the Eiffel i ower is lost again in a yet higher Vet only a few miles to the how few the citizens do not yet know advance patrols of the enemy are also resting, sleeping under the same bands of white mist.

They are at Bontolse; some of them have been even ross the Seine in the glades of the Forest of St. main. And behind us, also hidden by the mist, the restless movement of our troops continues. Trains are shunting and banging, is tiie rattle of heavy wheels on the roads. The yellow light widens; the mist lifts and thin.

The sentries seem to tin niseives, and swing tln-ir douks. A general stir out of the shelters. The clatter of cooking pots and boots, even of voices, begins round us. The night; has been warm, and a sultry feeling falls again at ym-e with the opening of A cavalry patrol, visible ul ready In its lighter blue uniforms, tiles past. The men move out to their work on Hie earthworks.

There Is the rattle of arms us the inuskots are freed from their standing stacks. Strange sheaves these, in their threatening lines, by Hie edges uncut ids. They begin to glitter as they Jified in the early sunlight. The sound of a distant shot, unexplained, startles my little circle of view into alertness. The truce of the night in an instant with the mist.

Suspicion the sharp tension of spectfve k. change in a second tho atmosphere. Orders, voh-es and movements tell the beginning of another absurd day iu the unnatural war. Burls, as I return, is already awake; outliiunt and stirring, carts are moving in and out of one gate, which has early. Small parties of offh-ers roll out noisily in motor cars from their city quarters.

It is time to get back to the suppressed, shepherded existence of a cl viliau In a town under military gov eminent, for whom rumored ignorance is considered to be tbe only safe agalnat panic. (By Associated Press to The Herald) WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. Amendments to the war revenue bill now being considered by the Democrats of the finance committee include one to eliminate entirely the projmsed tax of $2 per 1,000 on bank capital and surplus. Other amendments to make up for the deficiency that would be caused by abandoning the bank tax and the elimination of the tax of two cents a gallon on gasoline aro: A tax of two cents on all hank checks, drafts, letters of credit, a tax of five cents a gallon on tified whisky, which, it is estimated, would yield $50,000,000 revenue, an increase of 25 cents a barrel in tho proposed $1.50 tax on beer, making tho total levy $1.75 a barrel to yield a total estimated revenue of a tax of 25 cents per horse pow-er on all passenger automobiles.
