house Monday, Jan. 3.
We have for more than a year
been laying plans and raising money

Where one has never made the ex-

Attack without Drum Fire.
On the eighth day reports reached
the German lines that the Russians In
tended to make . surprise attack that
night without any drum IRE The Ger
man artillery therefore shelled the
Russian woods at q terrific rate at
hourly intervals through the night. All
the troops remained on duty without Q
minute Of sleep. but NO Russians
came. The next day was quiet.
That night again II was feared there
might be Q surprise attack and 20
again the German artillery shelled the
Russian lines until morning. But there
was no attack until the following noon.
when. without any artillery prepara-
ton, the Russian onslaught was re-
peated. A German omcer told me the
story OF that attack. He said that II
ne had not seen It himself he would
never have believed II possible that
an attack would come out of the Rus
sian woods. where the lines were a.
most 1900 yards apart.
Suddenly, without any warning. .
mud-colored wave began to pour forth
from the forest. It was . line of Rus
SLAMS three ranks deep, containing
more than l 1000 men. They marched
step by step. and did not run. Be-
hind this was a second wave like the
nrst. and then a third. the intervals
between them being about $50 yards.
The German artillery tore holes In
the ranks. which merely closed up
again. marched on and made an At
tempt to IRE. They marched, a.
though on parade. 1T was magnin-
cent. but criminal" said the German
officer.
Then came a fourth line like the
other three. The first line was less
than 1000 yards from the German
trenches. It came so slowly that It
was possible for the Germans to
make plans with cruel precision TO
meet IT.
Caught Between Walls Of Fir.
When the fourth line emerged from
the Russian wood the German artil.
lery dropped a curtain Of fire behind
1t and then a similar wall of shells
ahead Of those in front. They then
moved these two walls closer togeth-
er with . hail Of shrapnel between
them, while at the same time they cut
loose with the machine guns.
The splendid formation of Russians,
trapped between the walls of fre scat
tered heedlessly in every direction.
but in vain. Shells gouged deep holes
in the dissolving ranks. The air was
filled with clamor and frantic shrieks
were sometimes heard above the in
cessant roar and cracking or explode
projectiles.
Deafened men sought to dig them
selves into the ground in the foolish
belief that they could find safety there
from this deluge of shells. Others
raced madly for the rear and some e.
capped in this way As II by q miracle.
Still others ran toward the German
lines. only to be cut down by the Ger
man machine-gun fire.
In less than twenty minutes the ter
rible drama was over. The attack had
cost the Russians 1000 lives, and yet
not a Russian soldier had come within
500 yards of the German lines. ct

German soldiers, who, bundled up
were standing in the water-filled dug
outs waiting for the attack which they
knew was inevitable. At eight O'Clock
the attack came and this time 1t was
more successful.
Despite the artillery, despite the ma
chine guns and despite the infantry
fire, the apparently inexhaustible regi-
ments of Russians swept on over the
dead, over the barbed-wire barriers be-
fore the German line, over the first
trenches and routed the German SOL
diers. who were half frozen in the mud
Of their shattered shelters. A terrific
hand-to-hand conflict followed. Hand
grenades tore down scores of defend
ers and assailants alike. The men
fought like maniacs with spades. bay

Within 100 Feet Of Victory.
But the Russians won at . fearful
price for 80 slight . gain. It might
have been worth more had the Rus
sian deluge swept farther, but 1t did
not. The Russians stopped within a
hundred feet of victory. 1t may have
been lack Of discipline. lack of Officers
or lack of reserves: no one knows.
The Russians seemed helpless in
the German trench; instead Of sweep
ing ON into the second lines they tried
to intrench themselves in the wrecked
German first line. Immediately Ger.
man artillery hurled shells of the
heaviest caliber into these lines, and
tore them into fragments.
Then came the German reserves, and
by nightfall the Russians had again
been driven out, 800 Of them being

lever the Ways and Means Committee
OF the House Of Representatives has
reported q new tax bill which is ex.
pecteds to raise an additional s2O0,000..
900 this year and possibly more. AS
fhe Senate is raising the army and
navy appropriations to the unexam.
pled total of $500, 900, 900, the sum
sanctioned in the bill is none to large
and it 10 feared will be insufficient

Treasury, as figured out by McAdoo's
new system OF bookkeeping.
u 10 interesting to note that the
eouthern gentlemen who have levied
these taxes have seen to 1t that most
pf II shall be paid by those living In
the North, East and West. The South
win scarcely feel the extra taxes at
al. Altincome taxes are doubled and
the stirtax on large fortunes is more
than doubled. War munitions r to

seek to hide behind q technicalty while they follow a pl
ratieaI policy under the cover Of q law which they chang
ed after hostilities began. But when Germany makes
merchantmen OF her submarines and English cruisers find
Il impossible to hold them up for visit and search Il
Is perfectly legitimate to contend that international law
should be suspended as far as these new craft are con.
cerned.
The truth Is that war has SO twisted the moral fibre
and the reasoning faculties of the people in the bellig.
erent nations that they are utterly unable to see more
than one sIde-their own-of any question. When war
Is over and the nations begin to count the cost IT is going
to be found that international law has not been altered
in the slightest by changing implements and conditions
OF the first big war that has occurred in the occident
since murder became a matter Of exact science. The law
is going to stand and the general STATS and war coun-
ellis will have to do the changing. The ~barbarity Of
the present conflict and the moral astlgmatlsm which It
has caused Is bound to bring about measures to keep the
next conflict within something that resembles the bounds
Of civilization. Even the Red Cross conventions have
been shot to pieces In this conflict, and the world thought
that they at least were safe from the savagery of nations
flying at each others throat.
