MARINES ADVANCE
OVERENEMY DEAD
Americans Advance 214, Miles
Over a Front of Six Miles in
Chateau Thierry Sector.
‘300 GERMANS ARE CAPTURED.
iMen After Going Over Top With One
Wave Hasten Back in Order
to Get a Share in ’
Later Assault.
With the American Army in Picar-
«dy.—As the result of the two attacks
‘by the Americans upon the enemy in
the second battle northwest of Cha-
‘teau-Thierry 300 prisoners have been
«captured and the Americans have ex-
tended their line over a front of about
:8ix miles to a depth of nearly two and
-one-half miles.
While the losses of the Americans
mecessarily have been heavy, owing
to the nature of the fighting, the Ger-
man dead are piled three deep in
places. :
A number of machine guns have
ibeen added to the American booty.
The night fighting raged with great
fierceness for five hours. The Ameri-
-cans captured Bouresches and entered
“Torcy.
Twenty-five Americans in Torcy en-
gaged and drove out 200 Germans, and
then withdrew to the main line on the
outskirts of the town.
The importance of the operations
of the Americans on the Marne sector
may be realized when it is recalled
that only the day before the Ameri-
cans entered the line the Germans
advanced about ten kilometers.
The Americans are now holding the
Paris road near Le Thiolet for a num-
‘ber of kilometers.
A remarkable story is told of a com-
pany of marines, #1 the officers of
‘which, including the sergeants, were
put out of the fighting. A corporal
then assumed command, and the men
pushed on and obtained their objec-
tive.
Private John B. Flocken of Olney,
Ill, one of the first men to reach
“Torey, said:
“I never saw such wonderful spirit.
Not one of our fellows hesitated in
the face of the rain of machine gun
fire, which it seemed impossible to get
through. Every German seemed to
‘have a machine gun. They fought like
‘wildeats, but the Americans were too
“much for them.” =
Private Carl B. Mills of Visalia,
‘Cal., was in the first wave of Ameri-
cans to 'go over the top in Veuilly
Wood to smoke out the Germans re-
anaining there. He said that after his
unit attained its objective, many of
the men went back and filled the
ranks of their advancing comrades.
All moved like clockwork, he said.
The favorite slogan was, “Each
man get a German; don’t let a Ger-
aan get you.”
The German prisoners taken, many
of whom are mere boys, have only
been in the line for two days. Some
wore the white bands of the Prussian
‘Guard. ;
Many instances are related of the
heroism of the Red Cross workers in
braving shells in No Man’s Land and
gathering in or aiding wounded.

That is the declaration of a promi-

“An extraordinary panic has result-
ed in the towns along the Rhine from
the allied air raids,” he said.
“The Kaiser's headquarters were
moved from Kreuznaes to Spa because
his staff was afraid he might be hit by

U BOAT SINKS NEUTRAL
Unarmed Norwegian Ship Vin-
land Bombed Off Virginia. |
Armed French Merchantman Reports
Fight With Submarine Off the
Virginia Capes.
Washington. — Two more unarmed
merchantmen have been sunk in Amer-
ican waters by the U boat raiders,
bringing the total number of victims
up to 18. One was the Norwegian
steamer Vinland, sunk within 65 miles
of the Virginia Capes. The other was
an unidentified oil tanker, sunk within
100 miles of Cape Henlopen.
A French armed merchant ship
raced into an Atlantic port during the
day, reporting an encounter with one
of the raiders off the Virginia Capes.
' Thé sinking of the Vinland indicates
that the U boats have not put out to
sea or have returned to their secret
base, believed to be somewhere in
southern waters. Their continued ac-
tivity in harrying and destroying ship-
ping in the coastwise lanes was regard-
ed as proof they are receiving supplies
from a mother ship.
Destroyers, submarine chasers ana
vessels of the coast patrol are comb-
ing the waters in such numbers that it
is only a question of time when the
raiders will be destroyed or forced to
abandon their murderous campaign off
this seaboard. No relaxation of vigl-
lance, however, will follow even when
the raiders have been driven away.
It is believed that the U boats are
receiving information of the move-
ments of ships, and Byron R. Newton,
collector of the port of New York, is-
sued an order forbidding any commu-
nication with ships in the harbor.
The torpedoing of the British steam-
er Harpathian showed the reluctance
of the raiders to expose themselves to
any possibility of attack, and in prac-
tically every instance their victims
have been unarmed.
One explanation advanced for this
is that the raiders were sent here to
secure information and that the com-
manders have been ordered to take
back their reports without risking their
vessels. The information already In
their possession, it was said, would be
of value if it was planned to send sim-
ilar craft out from time to time to
harry the American coastline, always
with the possibility that a laden trans-
port could be caught.

Point Comfort. One man was slightly
injured. The Harpathian was a 4,500
ton vessel. She was launched in 1906
on the Clyde.

TAX NEXT YEAR
McAdoo Recommends Revenue
Measure Which Strikes at Big
Earnings and Unearned Income
NEW WAR PROFITS TAX.
Says We. Will Spend 24 Billions Next
Year and Should Limit Loans to
16 Billions—Should Wipe Out
Inequalities and Raise Rates.
Washington. — Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo made his recom-
mendations concerning the new war
revenue -bill. They virtually have
the approval of Congress in advance,
for members of the house and senate
charged with framing the new law
have beén working on lines identical
with those laid down by Mr. McAdoo.
In a letter to Chairman Kitchin of
the Ways and Means Committee he
said that the new bill should contain
the following provisions:
1—Double the revenue from
taxation, so as to raise $8,000,000,-
000 by taxes of the $24,000,000,000
he feels the government wil. need
next year.
2—Make the taxes on corporate
investments high enough to bring
them “more nearly on a parity
with the return from government
bonds,” and thus to make Liberty
Loan purchases the normal in-
vestment of war profits.
3—Tax away the’ excessive
profits on war contracts, to make
profiteering impossible.
4. Lift the rate on so called un-
earned income from securities,
etc., from 4 per cent. to more than
12 per cent., while retaining the
12 per cent. as the rate on earned
incomes above the exemption
figure.
5—Impose heavy taxation an all
luxuries.
Congress, in advance of Mr. Mec-
Adoo’s recommendation, has been
studying the English system of war
taxation, which levies heavy taxes on
war profits and unearned incomes.
Definitely committed to the policy
that the greater burden of the new
war taxes should be imposed upon lux-
uries, war profits and incomes, the
Ways and Means Committee of the
house is holding meetings to frame the
$8,000,000,000 measure,
The members of the committee are
firmly of the opinion that consumption
taxes on articles such as coffee, tea
and sugar should be imposed only as a
last resort. Every effort will be made
to raise at least three-fourths of the
$8,000,000,000 by means of taxes on
war profits and incomes. Incomes in
excess of $20,000 will bear the brunt
of the increase. To make up the bal-
ance the rates on all other articles
now included in the taxation measure
will be doubled or trebled.
In a general way, the rates will be
raised to the point of diminishing re-
turns, beyond which there should be
no profit in collection.
To simplify the collection and com-
putation of income taxes the law of
1916 and the law of 1917 will be re-
pealed, and the income tax provisions
will be entirely rewritten.
The treasury department’s estimate
of the amount that will be collected
on income and excess profits is $2,775,-
185,000. Members of the committee
thoroughly understand that from these
two sources almost three times this
amount must be collected.
It is not likely that any attempt will
be made to change existing tariff rates.
Republican members of the committee
will offer modifications of the tariff
law to raise a large part of the neces-
sary revenue, but the majority mem-
bers are opposed to opening up the
tariff question at this time. >

PITH OF THE
WAR NEWS
German cities are in a frenzy of fear
as the result of air raids by the
British, letters taken from German
prisoners indicate.
American marines have advanced two
and two-thirds miles in a dashing
attack that has thrilled the French
officers and staggered the Huns.
Archibald S. Hurd declared the sug-
gestion of German air raids on
American cities is absurd.
A wild dash by an American ammuni-
tion train on the day of June 2
helped save the day for the Ameri-
cans blocking the road from Cha-
teau-Thierry to Paris.
American marines attacked at dawn in
the Chateau Thierry sector and ad-
vanced two and a quarter miles over
a two and a half mile front. They:
captured 100 Germans and now hold
all the important high ground north-
west of the town. The Germans
have been forced to hurl three of
their best divisions into the line in
three days.
Another attempt by the Germans to
gain Mount Rouge, on the Lys
saliant, failed. It was directed
against Locre, where the Germans
captured the hospice southeast of
the village, but failed the latter.
His Arrival in Switzerland Sug-
gests Exile or Peace Intrigue.
o>
_—
’
Zurich. — Prince Lichnowsky, Ger-
man ambassador at London when the
war opened, publication of whose
memorandum.tending to show Austro-
German responsibility for the conflict
had caused him to be threatened with
prosecution, has arrived in Switzer-
land. As the prince has a passport, it
is assumed that his presence in Swiss
territory is with the consent of the
German government. A rather strik-
ing coincidence that may point to an-
other explanation than exile is that
Lichnowsky arrives in Switzerland
just as the German press is reported
launching a new peace offensive.
ALLIES HALT THE FOE
Americans and Other Reserves
Play Important Part.
Failure to Advance and Attention ‘oc
Local Action Show Weakness
of Foe.
London.—Definitely checked in their
great rush for Paris from the Noyon-
Rheims base, the Germans, according
to many portentious signs, are prepar-
ing“for a resumption of the offensive
on a still wider front—probably from
the Marne to Montdidier.
Numerous dispatches from the front
indicate that the crown prince is mov-
ing his big guns and fresh reserves up
to this extended battle line.
In the last few days the infantry
fighting has been more or less of a lo-
cal character, with the enemy deliver-
ing assault after assault for tactical
advantages.
The great weight of the present
German pressure is against the two
bulges of the line where the invaders
have driven salients into the allied
left flank.
But, despite continued and most
vicious attacks, the Germans have
failed to gain ground. The allies not
only have held firm at all points, but
in several instances have taken the
aggressive and rewon positions from
the invaders.

With the French Army In France. —
Fighting in this war probably never
has been more severe than that going
on in the great battle of French and
German armies between Montdidier
and Noyon. :
Every foot of the enemy advances
now brings him farther into territory
which is thoroughly well known to
the allies and prepared for defense.
Therefore his task becomes momen-
tarily more difficult. The allied staffs
.1 are prepared to meet every eventual-
ity and display the most perfect con-
fidence in the outcome.
When the German infantry began
coming over in the densest masses
they encountered immediately an ex-
tremely hot fire from both machine
guns and artillery, which mowed them
down. Ever since, as fresh waves en-
tered the conflict, they were subjected
to similar punishment.
With the American Army In France.
—The United States marines attacked
the Germans after daybreak Monday
morning and penetrated the German
lines for about two-thirds of a mile on
a 600-yard front in the Belleau Wood,
northwest of Chateau-Thierry. The
Germans now hold only the northern
edge of the wood. The Americans
captured two Minenwerfers, which are
the largest pieces yet taken by them.
700,000 Americans in France.
Washington, D. C.—More than 700,-

London. — The Germans bombed
British hospitals in France seven
times between May 15 and June 1,
according to a statement made in the
house of commons by J. I. MacPher-
son, under secretary of the war office.
The casualties numbered 991.
Many Weapons Taken From Aliens.
Harrisburg.—Fully 1,000 guns and
revolvers and numerous other weap-
ons have been confiscated by the state
authorities acting under the acts for-
bidding unnaturalized aliens from
owning or possessing firearms since
the first of the year. The bulk of
these weapons have been confiscated
by the state’s game wardens, who are
charged with the enforcement of the

Speelberg was stabbed several times

Speakers against the bill charged that
the move for Sunday games is a pro-

HADN'T TAKEN HIM FOR THAT
Nothing in Nuptial Contract Stipu-
lated That Woman Had United
Herself to Brass Band.
The trifling causes that some people
set forth in seeking a divorce cameq
up for discussion at a social gathers
Ing, when the following anecdote was
related by William A. Smith of Mich-
\gan:
Some time since a woman entered
the office of a lawyer, and on being
asked the nature of her business by
the legal light, declared with a posi-
tive air that she wished to sue for a
separation from her husband.
“Just a moment,” responded the
lawyer. “Let's begin at the begin-
ning. Why do you wish a. divorce?”
“Because my husband snores,” an-
swered the would-be-client. ‘He snores
30 loudly that I'cannot sleep.”
“That is something, of course,” re-
turned the lawyer, with an inward
smile, “but didn’t you take him for
better or for worse?”
“I surely did,” was the prompt re-
joinder of the other, “but I didn’t take
him for a brass band.”—Philadelphia
Evening Teleyraph.
N¢ Restraint.
“I read today, madam,” said the maid
while dressing her mistress to go out,
“that experiments by scientists have
proved the truth of the old theory that
tightening a man’s belt lessens hun-
ger.”
“Really, Clarice ” exclaimed the mis-
tress, “in that case you may dress
me without any belt today at all;
I am going out to dine with Mr. Eze
monee .”

“How did you send your fugitive
poetry?”
“Naturally, in the flying mail.”
