Disagreement Over Finances.

Mr. Kitchin. who will be at the head
of the committee which has to find
revenue. and Mr. McAdoo, who is the
chief spender of the revenue. do not agree
as to the assets. Mr.. kitchin finds n
deficit, Mr.. McAdoo a surplus. I have
known such disagreements III families
where the provider and the spenders
looked at the bank account from different
angles. but it is not common for two
great administration leaders to take such
radically opposing views as to a fact
THE Treasury either has a surplus or
it has a deficit, and the party in power
ought to make the situation clear to the
country, at least from its own point of
view, before it asks the minority party
to cooperate on plan TO spend millions
of money which may not be in existence
Three years ago the administration did
not consult republicans about the reduc-
ton of taxes. They made their tariff bill
in secret caucus, and bound their mem
bers to vote for II without amendment
of any kind from the floor.

made. Meantime, the bail of the de-

TRY TO STOP
 WAR SHIPMENTS
MILWAUKEE FIRM CHARGED WITH VIOLATING LAW
 OF STATE,

MILWAUKEE, April 3O.-The AL disclaimers company has been charg- ed with plotting to manufacture war munitions and send them to Euro pean belligerents. The charge IS be- leved to be due to the activities of the German-Americans in the state who are taking every step to prevent the shipment of war supplies to the Allied nations. The state law relat- ing to the matter is believed to be sufficient to prevent the shipment of war material but the company is de- termined to fight it. The case will probably be regarded as test to prove the right of American manu- factures to ship arms and ammunition to any foreign belligerents in time of war.

ROME, April 30.-It is persistent ly reported and on the most reliable authority that Italy is about to cast her lot with the powers of the Triple Entente notwithstanding the umorS that she had come to an agreement with Austria. The governments in- volved in the negotiations have main tained so deep a secrecy that very lit tie is known to the public about the points at issue. It is stated unofficial ly that while Austria is willing to make some concession of territory at the request of Germany she has utter ly refused to hand over all the provinces of Austria inhabited by peo- pie of Italian nationality.

FIGHT HARD IN WEST.

LONDON, April SO.-The Germans are now bombarding the French and Belgian lines south of the Yser while these two allied forces are advancing slowly northward along the banks of the Yser in the effort to dislodge the enemy from the positions captured by him on his first unexpected rush. The fight for the recapture of St. Julian is apparently lulled for the present, probably for the purpose of enabling the allies to reorganize after their severe experience while the Ypres battle was at it's height. Sir John French is reported to be again dis-sat- isfed with the work of some of his subordinate commanders as he was after the battle of Neuve Chapelle where, he said in his official dis patches, the laxity of some field off cers resulted in a deplorable state of dis-organization after the fighting The news from all quarters today shows that the crucial time of the war is now approaching Both sides are evidently girding their loins for the supreme test during the spring and summer months.

GERMANS NOW LAUNCH
 OFFENSIVE IN THE EAST
Great Struggle Continues to Rage FierceIy on All Fronts in
 European Conflict.

PETROGRAD, April 3O-The struggle in Poland and near the front iers of East Prussia has been renewed with the Germans launching a strong offensive against our lines. Their chief attacks are being delivered along the line running from Mlawa westward to Flock. The former city is near the East Pussian border and the latter is on the Vistula to the southwest. Flock is northwest of Warsaw.
 Little change has taken place so far in that arena although the fighting is fierce. The roads are now soft owing to the spring thaws and rains and op- erations are more difficult than they were last fall before the snow fell. The fighting in the Carpathians is still confined to the Uzsok and Stryl pass es but nothing decisive is reported even in those places although both sides are continuing desperately the efforts begun a couple of days ago. Both the AustrianS and our troops take the offensive alternately but the defensive positions of each are so strong that no important advance can be achieved.
