AR 1B 4 : ron hed Army in Northern France, April 29, 10 p.m., via london, April 30.--The great artil- lery duel, one of the most collosal of the war, has abated. + Only a few shells are falling to-day along the battle-line, where General French's forces have once again thrown back the high tide of the German offensive. Ypres suffered greatly, but the wonderful Cloth Hall Tower, the most noted landmark in Flanders, still stands. It miraculously escaped destruetion in the hail of shells with which the town was deluged by the enemy. The entire battle front was comparatively quiet to- day, an eloquent tribute to the valor of (Gieneral French's men, who still hold- the gateway to Calais and the Straits. There have been some pathetic incidents. A long- range German shell falling in the yard of a convent in Poperinghe blew off the top of the head of the aged Mother Superior while she was gathering the aged and infirm inmates about her preparatory to leaving for a place of refuge. Another shell killed three of the nuns and wounded fout Al ig TAXES ON BRITISH LIQUOR SARE STRONGLY OPPOSED 7 a (Special to the Whig.) on, April 30.--Proposals in- oduced in the House of Commons yesterday aftornoon by David Lloyd- George, chancellor of the exchequer, to double the duty on spirits, quard- ruple the duties on wines ana to in- stitute an gnerease by graduated tax on beer--to encourage the use of lighter beers--were strongly oppos- ed, and it is generally believed that the new taxes will have to be mode- rated before Parliament win accept them. The O'Brienites, as a protest against an additiopal taxation on Irish whiskies and "beers, brought abofit the first division in the House since the outbreak of the war, by taking the unusual course of voting against the provisional resolutions bringing the taxes into force at once, to prevent withdrawls from bond while Parliament is dealing with the matter. The resolution relating to spirits was passed by a vote of 89 to 6, the minority being composed of O'Brienites. - The Nationalists protested against the measure also, but did not vote. The Unionists, who withheld eriti- cism util all the facts could be placed before them, also abstained from voting. . Usually these provisional tions are carried wjttout division, for, should Parliament refuse to sanc- tion the taxes; they 'are refunded to those who may have paid. The Labhorites promised to ly t | the Chancellor's pe charges that a mia- ority of the workmen, lured away by drink, were not tting their best into the work of pr ucing material whiok is so badly needed by the soldiers at the front. The extra taxes will be incladed in the budget which Chancellor Lloyd- George will introduce in the House of Commaons- the' mosh ill 1 realm act, will be posed for second goading at a Rotor tte when the debate on it will take place.
