The report, in the. course of a description of Satur<dayts military operations, says: "West of Montdidier, strong Amer ican patrols advanced againsti bur front. One American patrol was entirely cut up by our fire. Thet oth ers were thrown back by counter attack. The Americans thereby! suf fered heavy losses." Regarding the Amea-ican "hordes" training in the French camps, the semiofficial North German Gaaette,) of Berlin, remarks: "Fresh reinforcements are mean while maturing in our recruiting de pots behind the front ami we will, wait and see whether the lightning-, trained Yankee will bold his own! against the German lads, who have" had military training from theirj youth."

ROOSEVELT AND TAFT MEET IN A CHICAGO HOTEL The Former Presidents Grip Hands and Have Half Hour's Lively Talk Chicago, May 27.—Theodore Roose velt and William H. Taft, former Presidents of the United States, met last night in a Chicago hotel and held their first extended amicable conversation since the National Re publican Convention in 1912. It was at that convention, held in Chicago, that the Progressive party was born and Colonel Roosevelt was made its nominee after the Republicans had nominated Mr. Taft. The meeting occurred In the din ingroom. Colonel Roosevelt was at dinner, when Mr. Taft entered and made his way to the Colonel's table. The men gripped hands and smiled broadly, while the other diners rose and cheered. After the greeting, the former Presidents sat down and engaged in animated conversation for half an hour. Finally, as Mr. Taft rose to go, they shook hands and each seem ingly was in the best spirits. Neith er the Colonel nor Mr. Taft would divulge the topic of conversation. "Mr. Taft heard I was here and immediately came to see me," said Colonel Roosevelt. "We had a very enjoyable half-hour's talk and I am very happy to see him again." Mr. Taft said: "I heard the Colonel was here be fore I saw him. X missed the op portunity of seeing him at the time of the dinner to Marshal Joffre in New York. I was very glad to see him at this time." The meeting followed publication here this morning of the news of their exchange of telegrams last winter, when Mr. Taft telegraphed a I hope of the Colonel's speedy recovery j while the latter lay ill in a New I York hospital. OLIVET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH REDEDICATED The Rev. A. L. Taxis presided at dedicatory services at the newly-re modeled Olivet Presbyterian Church, corner of Derry and Kittatinny streets, yesterday. The Liberty Or chestra furnished music, and the Rev. A. .K. Hansen, pastor of the Park Street United Kvangelical Church, de livered the invocation. The Rev. Ray mond Ketiedge. pastor of the Camp Hill Presbyterian Church, read the Scripture, the choir sang an anthem, nnd Dr. Lewis S. Mudge, pastor of the Pine Street Presbyterian Church, spoke on "The Ideal Sunday School." The dedicatory address was made by the Rev. Harvey Klaer, pastor of Cove nant Presbyterian Church. Charles E. Pass spoke on "The Past, Present and Future of Olivet Church." IIAPTIZED IN GREEK CHURCH Athens George acted as godfather yesterday at services in Royal Hall, when the Rev. Joseph E. Hauthopolos, pastor of the Greek Orthodox Church Evangelismos. of Wilkes-Barre, offici ated in the baptism of young folks. The following were baptized by the officiating pastor: George Scandlous, son of Charles Scandlous. this city; Marie Janavaras, daughter of Chris. Janavaras, of Carlisle; Dimitrola Framokis, daughter of Tony Framo kis, this city; Mary Vorakes, daughter of John Vorakes, Carlisle. WHILE HUNS DRIVE PRESIDENT EXHORTS [Continued from First Pa#e.] ut> to act for them In the weighty and anxious matters that crowd upon us in these days of critical choice and action. "But we dare not go to the elec tions until we have done our duty to title fuU. These are clays when duty stands stark nnd naked and even with closed eyes we know it is there. Kjciisc.s ore unavailing. We have either done our duty or we have not. The fact will be as gross and plain as the duty itself. In such a case lassitude and fatigue seem negligible enough. The facts are tonic and suf ficient to freshen the labor. Must Advise People "And the facts are these. Ad ditional revenues must manifestly be provided for. It would be a most un sound policy to raise too large a proportion of them by loan and it is evident that the four four billions now provided for by taxation will not of themselves sustain the great ly enlarged budget to which we must immediately look forward. We can not in fairness wait until the end of the fiscal year is at hand to ap prise our people of the taxes they must pay on their earnings of the present calendar year, whose ac countings and expenditures will then be closed. We cannot get increased taxes unless the country knows what they are to be and practices the necessary economy to make them available. "Detlniteness, early definiteness, as to what its tasks are to be, is ab solutely necessary for the successful administration of the treasury. It cannot frame fair and workable reg ulations in haste; and it must frame its regulations in haste after it is not to know its exact task until the ver yeve-of its performance. The present tak laws are marred, more over, by inequities which ought to be remedied. Indisputable facts, ev ery one; and we cannot alter or blink them. To state them is argument enough. Enormous Loans Freely Spent "And yet, perhaps, you will permit me to dwell for a moment upon the situation they disclose. Enormous loans freely spent in the stimulation of industry of almost every sort pro duce inflations and extravagances which presently make the whole eco nomip structure questionable and in secure, and the very basis of credit is cut away. Only fair, equitably distributed taxation on the widest incidence ani drawing chiefly from the sources which would be likely to demoralize credit by their very abundance can prevent inflation and keep our in dustrial system free of speculation and waste. We shall naturally turn, therefore, I suppose, to war profits and incomes and luxuries for the ad ditional taxes. But the war profits and incomes upon which the increas ed taxes will be levied will be the profits and income of the calendar year 1918. It would be manifestly unfair to wait until the early months of 1919 to say what they are to be. It might be difficult, I should imag ine, to run the mill with water that had already gone over the wheel. Treasury Must Anticipate Moreover, teaxes of that sort will not be paid until the June of next year and the Treasury must antici pate them. It must use the money they are to produce before it is due. It must sell short time certificates of indebtedness. In the autumn o much larger sale of long-time bonds must be effected than has yet been at tempted. What are the bankers to think of the certificates if they do not certainly know where the money is to come from which is to take them up. And how are investors to approach the purchase of bonds with any sort of confidence or knowledge of their own affairs if they do not know what taxes they are to pay and what economies and adjustments of their business they must effect? I cannot assure the country of a suc cessful administration of the Treas ury in 1918 if the question of further taxation is to be left undecided until T919. Winning War Dominant "The consideration that dominates every other now and makes every other seem trivial and negligible, is the winning of the war. We are not only in the midst of the war, we are at tJie very peak and crisis of It; hundreds of thousands of our men. carrying our hearts with them and our fortunes, arc in the Held and •ships aro crowding faster and faster to the ports of VVance and Kngland witfli regiment after regiment, thou sand after thousand, to join them until the enemy shall be beaten and brought to a reckoning with man kind. There can be no pause or in termission. The great enterprise must, on the contrary, be pushed with greater and greater energy. The volume of our might must steadily and rapidly be augmented until there can be no question of resist ing it. If that is to be accomplished, gentlemen, money must sustain it to the utmost. Our financial pro gram must no more be left in doubt or suffered to lag than our ordnance program or our ship porgram or our munitions program or our program for making millions of men ready. These others are not progrs, indeed, but mer plans upon paper, unless there is to be an unquestionable sup ply of money. But One Way to Meet Duty That is the situation, and it in the situation which creates the duty, no choice of preference of ours. There is only one way to meet that duty. We must meet it without selfishness or fear of consequences. Politics is adjourned. The elections will go to those who think least of it. To those who go to the constituencies with out explanations or excuses, with a plain record of duty faithfully and disinterestedly performed. I, for one, am always confident that the peo ple of this country will give a just verdict upon the service of the men who act for them when the facts are such that no man can disguise or conceal them. There is no daneer of deceit now. An intense and pitiless light beats upon every man and every action in this tragic plot of war that is now upon the stage. If lobbyists hurry to Washington to attempt to turn what you do in the matter of taxa tion to their proection or advantage, the light will > at also upon them. There is abundant fuel for the light in the records of the Treasupry with regard to profits of every sort. HIT BY AUTO A touring car driven by Mrs. Slier, of Middletown, struck James Wertz, 1420 Herr street, as he was waiting for a trolleycar Saturday afternoon on the way from work at the Middle town aviation plant.
