Men Had Good Seasoning on Mexican Border and Say They Are in Prime Condition.

(Houston Post Special. CHICAGO, August 28. Instead of departing for Camp Logan at Houston, Texas, this week, officers of the Seventh regiment anticipate orders from Washington that will take the regiment to an Eastern mobilization point. Thereafter the officers believe that the regiment will be transported to France as soon as transports are available. That the Seventh is destined to be on the firing line soon was reported Tuesday-following the farewell given the regiment In Grant park Monday night.

It was the gossip of the regiment. What basis there was for the belief was not revealed, but all the men seemed certain they were going to see France immediately. That the Seventh is in excellent trim is conceded In guard circles. Tho regiment saw much service on tho border last year and ever since has kept up to a high standard. The men do not think thev need the training at C'mp Logan.

Thev believe that with the training at their mobilization ramp in the F.ast and what they get hack of the trenches in France will fit them In a Jiffy for trench Service. Significance Is seen In the fact that the Seventh was not among the Illinois units which major General Ueorge Hen. Camn Logan's commandant, has requested to be sent to Houston. The general specified the First and Third infantry, the Second field artillery and the First engineers. As a result of the general's request these four units will be on their way In a few days it Is oeneveu.

Letter Postage Stays At It It. tkssaeimtti Prosi Report. WASHINGTON, August 28. Senate finance committee leaders recognising the growing demand for heavier taxation upon war profits, tentatively drafted at private conferences Tuesday amendments to the war tax bill designed to Increase the gross levy on this source from 28 per cent to about 38 per cent and the revenue to be derived from It $562,000,000 to about $850,000,000. These amendments will be offered as a compromise In an ef fort to head off more drastic increases advocated by Senators Johnson of Cali LaFollette, Borah and others.

Leaders of the so-called conservatives confidently predicted that they would muster surncient strensin to insure aaon- tion of a compromise, but advocates of higher rates were equally sure that they would make the levy not less than 50 per cent. Consideration on the senate floor of war profits taxation the vital issue in the light over the revenue bill drew nearer during the day when the senate struck out provisions for 1-cent increase in letter postage and arranged to dispose of publishers' tax features Wednesday. Senator Hardwlck motion to eliminate the letter postage tax, estimated to raise 150,000,000, was adopted, 39 to 29, and the senate spent the rest of the day debating the proposal for Increases In second class mail rates and a 5 per cent special tax on publishers' incomes. In eliminating all taxes on first class mall a provision was retained for free postage on letters mailed by American soldiers abroad. During the debate Senator LaFollette presented his plans for taxing war profits.

He introduced eight amendments proposing to take from 76 to 48 per cent of the war profits, or from $2,280,000,000 to intending to offer the maximum first and, if this Is rejected, the pthers In order downward. The war profits' fight is expected to begin late Wednesday after disposition of the publishers' tax provisions. The cloture petitions circulated Monday and now having virtually the necessary two-thirds signatures for adoption of a rule to shut off debate, are held In abeyance.

Quite recently one of the regiments of Siberian rifles, which had fought so splendidly at the beginning of the revolution, abandoned Its position on the Riga front. Nothing except an order to exterminate the entire regiment availed to cause It to return to its positions. "Thus we are implacably fighting anarchy In the army," ihe commander continued. "Undoubtedly it will finally be repressed, but the danger of fresh debacles is weighing constantly on the country. SITUATION ON THE FRONT IS BAD.

O'he situation on the front is bad. We have lost the whole of Galicia, the whole of Bukowina and all the fruits, of our re cent victories. At several points the enemy has crossed our frontier and is threatening our fertile southern provinces. He Is endeavoring to destroy the Rumanian army and is knocking at the gates of Riga. If our army do not hold the shore of the Gulf of Riga the road to Petrograd will be opened wide.

"Robert Lansing. Secretary of Statl of the Ijnited States." Allies Supposed' to Concur in Reply. i 4stociatett Press Report. WASHINGTON. August 28.

President Wilson's rejection of the pope's peace rro-posals is regarded here as the high water mark of tho war. Furthermore, it Is indicative of the virtual selection of the president by the allies as their spokesman before the world. The note comes as a climax to the remarkable series of state documents in which President' Wilson has argued the cause of world democracy against autocracy in the 'high court of public opinion and accepted more and more hy the peo ple of all the allied countries as expressing their ideaTs. There appears to be no doubt that the Vnited States was selected to make answer before th world in advance of the others. nether tne entente nations wiil Bend extensive replies is not known here.

It is regarded as probable -fhat they will in measure adopt the president's reasoning for their own and send notes of endorsement. The general tenor of the president's reply had been anticipated everywhere, but there was no inkpni; of the forceful words which he would employ to say that the world can have no faith in the autocratic government of Germany. Stixlents of diplomacy see in his denunciation of the military autocracy a fresh appeal to the war-ridden German people to throw off their military masters and join democracy with a government fit to deal with the rcrsainder of the world. Although, this appeal probably will not In- permitted to become known in Germany before Germany has had time to mold the temper of the people for its reception by denunciation through a Aiovernment controlled press of what has been characterized as Interference in the internal nffairs of Germany, the hope Js that It will fall on- fertile soil. ConsMering the extraordinary character of the president's communications i of immense impcrtance in definitely terminating for tho present at least all efforts to reach a compromise peace and the assured fact that it represents the views of all of the entente allied powers Joined with America in the war against Germany, the time consumed in the preparation of the reply was remarkably sViort.

The feature that Is certain to fix public attention Is the cold determination not even to permit the subject of peace negotiations to be broached so long as the evil and dominating forces of autocracy and militarism control the central powers. If Is not even necessary to read between the lines of the -president's response- to see cloariy apparent the inflexible purpose. For this reason the president was not to be led into any discussion of the peace conditions detailed by Pope Benedict' though that field was made alluring by the pontiff's adoption of some of ihe proposals laid down by President Wilson himself itvearly utterances. On the other hand thefir-was no effort to evade responsibility for an expression of view as to the bases of sound and enduring peace, for the president's response in its concluding paragraphs restates the purpose for which America entered the great war.

The radical difference that appears to exist between the pope and the president touches this very matter of a stable and enduring peace. The pontiff looks to the restoration of conditions as they existed before the war; the president turns Us back upon these, convinced that a return to the status quo ante bellum could never bring permanent peace which can be) secured only by agreement between free peoples on both sides. As one official commenting expressed It the president's response, reflecting at It does the views or the entente allies, sounds the doom of Hohenzollernism and military domination of peoples. That this can and should be accomplished without the destruction of the German people is one of the striking expressions in the president note when he expressly disclaims anv Intent to seek Dunltlve dam ages and the dismemberment of empires or even the punishment of the central powers after the war by gigantic economic combinations against them. SHAFT AIMED OVER HEADS OF RULERS.

This shaft is aimed straight over the heads of the army-controlled German for elgn office at the understanding and appreciation of the German' people, already manifesting many signs of a determlna tion to assert their right to govern them selves by parliamentary methods. It Is assumed here that there will fol low a fierce outburst of denunciation against the attempt from the outside to dictate to the German people their form of government. But it also Is believed that as the hardships of war and mis- government bear with ever Increasing severity upon the German people, tney must, in the end, throw off their mili tary masters and take in their own hands throuuh a representative govern ment the conduct of negotiations looking to a fair, honorable and permanent peace. Active exchanges have been in prog ress between the president. Secretary Lansing and the entente powers, mainly through the American diplomatic rep resentatives abroad, regarding the an swer to be made to the pope's proposals! ever since these were delivered to the various foreign offices.

It seemed, by common consent, that to America war- con flded the heavy responsibility of framing and delivering the first of the replies. The Dronrletv of this course was ap parent from the consideration of the fact that every one of the entente premiers and foreign ministers who had spoken publicly on the subject of peace had turned to the language of President Wil son's historic address to congress and his other public utterances on the subject as disclosing their own conception of the proper basis of peace negotiations. And. even more potent than this con sideration was the conviction that Amer ica was best friend of all nations to de what it was hoped would be the death blow to autocracy of the uerman type. Kvery precaution was taken to prevent a premature disclosure of the president's response.

Few members of the cabinet were informed on the subject before Tuesday's cabinet meeting. Tuesday ninht the document was handed over to the trusted telegraphers 01 tne stale ae partment to be sent on its way by cable to Ambassador Page in London, who was to deliver it to Foreign Minister Balfour for transmission to Rome. At the sametime copies of the coin munloation as a matter of courtesy were placed In the hands of the diplomatic representatives of the entente powers In Washington for their information. Although the pope's proposals were addressed to the leaders of the nations at large which, of course. Included President Wilson, and was signed by the pontiff himself, the response was signed by Sec retary Lansing.

As the matter expressly stated that he was merely transmitting the president reply; however, the meth od was strictly within the diplomatic proprieties. Pope Not Ready to Issne Second Note.
