Intensive Fighting
 Around BeIIeCourt
GERMAN TROOPS MAKING AT.
 TACK AFTER ATTACK
LOSSES WERE HEAVY
What Was Supposed to be a Strong German Offensive Along the Lens- St. Quentin Line Proved to be Only . Series of Counter Attacks.

What had everywhere been thought to be a commencement of strong of fensive by the Germans against the British along the Lens-St. Quentin line and the French from the region north west of Soissons into Champagne ap- parently was only one of the sporad. c counter attacks which the Germans have been throwing against the fronts since the spring offensive b. gan. Around BuIlecourt the intensive fight ing which has been going on for m ore than a week continues unabated, the Germans throwing assault after as- sauit against the British. Tuesday four of these attacks were launched, the Germans losing in all of them ex- cept the last, when their troops drove back the British in the western DOT ton of the village for a distance of about a hundred yards. In all the at tacks the German casualties were ex- tremely heavy, in one of them alone 25o dead and wounded having been left Inside the British lines.
 Along the front held by the French artillery actions prevailed throughout Tuesday, the Germans failing to fol- low up their infantry attacks of Mon day, in which the French war office says they suffered heavy losses.
 The Italians have assumed the of- fensive against the Austrians ip the IsonZo region along a front of nearly twenty-five miles. Following extreme ly heavy bombardments, the Italians lcosed their infantry in frontal attacks and made considerable progress at va rious points, according to the Italian official communication. The battle is still in progress. Another success by the Venizelest troops, fighting side by side with the French forces in Mace donia. is recorded by Paris, two works extending over fronts of more than 300 yards having been captured and held in the face of counter attacks.

GENERAL DEBATE CLOSED
 ON WAR REVENUE BILL
kitchin Predicts Final Vote Will be
 Reached Some Time Saturday.

Wasi1inton, May 15.-GeneraI debate on the s1,S0o, 100000 war revenue bill closed tonight after five days of dis cussion, and Democratic Leader Kitch- in predicted a final vote would be reached some time Saturday.
 The bill will be opened to amend ment tomorrow under the five minute speech rule and a flood of proposed amendment which would permit firms to add the amount of their increased taxes to contracts made prior to the passage of the law probably will be the most important new proposal offered by the way and means com rnittee.
 Vigorous fights will be made against the excess profits income, and auto mobile taxes and the proposed in creased rates on second class mail
 Many republicans will seek to sub stitute the English excess profits tax law provisions for those now in the bill on the ground that they would reach more firms and provide a more equitable tax.
 Debate on the measure again to- day centered largely upon the second class mail matter section. Repre- sentatives Johnson of North Dakota, spoke against the proposal, declaring it nfair to publishers generally. Representative Johnson proposed substitute plan to tax newspapers a flat rate of five per cent. on their ad- vertising returns. Representative MondelI declared the proposed rates would make it impossible for maga- zines and newspapers to maintain their present general circulation.
 Representative Young said that if the government would pay for the free advertising given by newspapers the papers could afford to pay first class mail rates.
 Representative Lunn of New York, assailed the bill as negotiable, par tfcularly in regard to the excess profits tax section.

GERMAN GOVERNMENT NOT
 MEETING WITH SUCCESS
In It's Efforts to Break Down the Rus
 sian Provisional Government.

Washington, May 15.-On the eve of the departure Of the American com mission to Russia, the state depart ment has received advices that the German government is not meeting with success in it's effort to break down the Russian provisional govern ment and bringing Russia to q separate peace.
 Hope is felt here that the provision al government, which already has sur mounted many obstacles, not only W stand firmly by it's understanding wi the other allies that there shall be no separate peace, but will continue to prosecute with vigor it's plans for set ting up a permanent democratic gov. ernment and rehabilitating the coun- try.
 To meet sinister misre representations of the purpose of President Wilson in dNsparching the mission headed by Elihu Root to Russia, it was authori- tatively stated today that the mission contemplates no interference in the in- terna affairs of the newborn repub- lie. There are just two objects to be served, to convey to the Russian peo- pie the high sense of qualification with which the United States has witnessed the sudden transformation of an an cient despotism into a republic and to render any helpful service possible.

TO SPEED UP CONGRESS
 ON WAR LEGISLATION
Imperative Necessity for Prompt Ac- ton on Food Control Legislation.

Washington, May 15 President Wilson tonight began an effort to congress to speed up war legislatio At White House conference with members of house and senate agricul- ture committees he emphasized the imperative necessity for prompt action upon the food control legisla tion.
 The conference was general in character and no specific agreements were reached. but there were indica- tions that the committeeman went away prepared to undertxS1e early en- actment of laws to prevent specula ton in foods and to assure an equitable return to the producer and a fair price to the consumer.
 Woe to SpecuIators.
 The president disclosed the food sit uation in the United States, the allied and neutral countries. There were suggestion that there had been too much alarmist talk about food condi- tions. The president stated emphat- ically to those gathered about him that it would be difficult to express in parliamentary language what should be done with anyone who would specv- late in food products in a situation like the present.
 The various bills now before con- gress probably will be revised into three measures to express definitely the ideas of the administration as to food control. The two house bills very nearly provide now what the adminis- tration believes is the best program.
 Secretary Houston made clear the administrators intentions concerning price control. It is not intended, he pointed out, to fix maximum prices generally, but only in specific instances to force the unloading of hoarded stocks of food. Minimum prices would be fixed generally. to producers if necessary to encourage production. Maximum price fixing would be resort ed to only to prevent extortion and food corners.
 Three Vital Factors.
 The president told the committee men that in his opinion the three fac tors that will control the war situa- tfon, in the order of their importance. are the actual fighting forces, control of the food situation except for ap- propriation bills and conference reports until passed.
 A bill to prohibit speculation in food products was introduced by Repre- sentative Sabath of Illinois. It pro- vides that all sales or pufchase of foodstuffs shall be unlawful under penalty of from one to ten years' inn prisonment.
