President Has New
Defense for Repeal.

WASHINGTON, Marcn 5o.-Presi-
dent Wilson is certain that the tolls
repeal debate viii not split the Demo-
cratic party and that his fight for the
repeal will not be defeated.
He stated to-day that his chief re
greet in connection with the debate
was that what promised to be dig
nitied contest had degenerated,i Unto an
attempt to discredit the Admlnstra-
ton He characterized Representa-
tive Knovland's speech, in which II
was charged that the President had
made a deal With the British Govern
ment, as the crownLng insult of a
number of insults in the debate All
of the acrimonN shown against the
Administra ton only makes more GER
tain the result, the President declared
to his caaers
The Chief Executive to-day also
took new ground in advocating a pol
icy which his advocates say is in
violation of the Baltimore platform.
The President points out that the Bal
timore platform contained two planks,
one Of them reiterating the long
standing principle Of the Democratic
party against ship subsidies or sub
sides of any sort. and the other af-
hrming the tolls exemption policy.
The President declared there was no
question in his mind thar free tolls is
subsidy of the clearesl type, and
that therefore, it violates not only a
plank in the Baltimore platform,
which takes precedence over the
other. but we'll esta biished Demo
cratic policy
One OF the proofs Of where the
Democratic party really stood on the
question Of tolls lies in the fact that
ma jority of the Democrats in the
House voted against the tolls ex-
emption bill when it was passed orig
inally. the President said.

details Of the actions closing with the
crossing Of the Aisne. But only the
most meagre communications have
been issued concerning the fighting If
the last two days.
Roughly speaking the line Of the adj
vance of the allies is threaded by six
rivers. four of which have already been
| crossed. The crossing Of the Marine,
marking the assumption OF the ag-
gressive by the allies was purely n
rear guard action in which General
Won Kluck cleverly kept the German
right from being outfanked. So far
as the British were concerned, the
passage Of the Ourcq was not con-
tested. The VesIe river was only
lightly defended by the Germans,
while, as is now well known, the re-
sistanCe of the Germans at the Alsne
was and still is of the most stubborn
character on both the French and Brit
ish fronts.
If the allies hold the shore across
the Aisne, which they gained despite
the heavy artillery fire from concealed
German batteries on the heights above
the river. two more rivers the Ailette
and the Disc. remain TO be crossed.
The country between the Aisne ani
| the Ailette is ideal for defensive pur-
noses and if the German army holds
| the Aisne heights for a few days, de-
fensiYe works can be constructed along
the other two rivers, which may delay
the allies advance on German terri
! tory for a long time.
On the other hand, If the Germans
resume the offensive. the country now
! occupied by them affords an excellent
| operating base.
1t is clear from reports coming in
| from the allies that the victory in the
! battle of the Marine and the assump-
! ton of the offensive had a tremendous
moral effect on the Franco British
armies.
Berlin acknowledges that while Gen
| eral Won Hindenburg's brilliant and
| daring movement across the border
! lake was successful in driving back
| General Rennenkampfs forces. the
Russians were not completely outfank-
! ed and the previous East Prussian vic
! tory against the Russians was not
duplicated as the Russian general re-
/ tired in good order, saving his artil-
| lery.
