Strong American Patrols
With Severe Casualties
Amsterdam, May 27.. "Heavy
losses" were inflicted upon the
Americans on the Picardy front, in
the repulse of strong American pa
trols on Saturday west off Montdidier,
it is claimed in a semiofficial Ger
man report received yestierday in a
Berlin telegram. 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."
With the American Army In I
France, May 27.—American troops'

Picardy sector on Friday, inflicted a,
number of losses on the enemy In!;
killed and brought back prisoners,:
according to an official statement Is
sued by the American headquarters.;
Unofficial reports say the raid wasj
in the Montdidier region and that,
the Americans killed six men.
Without the assistance of the ar-j
tillery, the Americans slipped into*
the enemy trenches and'' quickly ac-j
tomplished their work.
It was announced last night thatj
the Issuance of communiques hadjj
been discontinued on orders to head-ll
quarters from Washington.

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.

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,

serious injuries, broken wrist and
scalp wounds. Mrs. Slier gave bond
