When Russian Regiment Re-
fused to ErateEnize Posi-
hon Is Attacked
ARE OVERWHELMED BY
ASPHYXIATING GASES
German Guns Again Roaring
Over Greater Part Of Front
Russian FlOtilIa Attacks

Petrograd, May 17.-Fraternizing be-
tween Russian and Teutonie soldiers has
stopped along practically all the north
ern front, according to Nord-Sun
agency dispatch received today.
The cessation of friendly relations
was caused by one incident which, it
was said, brought home to the Russian
troops the duplicity of the Germans and
the hint that the Teutons had some ul-
terror purposes behind their efforts. It
happened on sector of the Riga front.
A certain Russian regiment has with
stood all German Establishments to come
out and talk over things. The position
held by this regiment was overwhelmed
by asphyxiating gases, intense rifle
and artillery fire and hurricane of
hand grenades and trench mortars.
Mines were exploded nearby.
The NordSud dispatch declared Ger
man guns now were roaring over great
part of the front since the soldiers
stopped fraternizing, but that Russian
army morale was being exeeIlently
maintained despite this continuous
pounding.
Russian aeroplanes flying over the
Black sea harrassed the enemy in Ru-
mania, compelling the Teutonic aband-
lonment OF the Rumanian bank of the
Danube. Later when the Germans tried
to re.eross, the Russian flyers again
threw them back.
The news Of Russian submarine flo
tilla shelling and silencing battery on
the Bosphorus was also printed here to-
| day. Heavy damage was said to have
been inflicted on the Turkish position.

&45,OOO,OOO Must Be
Added to Meet Demands
TOTAL $6,464,949,922
TO MEET SUMS ASKED
Radical RevaInping Of Bill to
Increase Revenues Is
Made Necessary

Washington, May IT.-Four hundred
and forty-five million dollars additional
must be added to the 81 500 ,000,0 900 rev
enue bill now before the house, making
it total $2,245,OO0,OOO, Chairman Kitch
in of the ways and means COMMITTEES
told the house today.
Kitchin read a statement from the
treasury department showing that the
total amount of appropriations passed
and pending in congress, necessary for
war must be raised to cover appropria-
tions already asked.
Representative Lenroot, Wisconsin,
moved to increase from IL to 1875 per
cent the surtax on the amounts by
which incomes exceed 100000, but do
not exceed 100000. This was adopted.
81 propose to ask that the tax on
all incomes above the 100000 mark be
increased by rs per cent" Lenroot
said.
Kitchin caused a sensation when he
favored this amendment. He had op-
posed all former amendments to in
crease the income tax. He said we will
, need every dollar that can be raised.
If the committee had known about
the additional $445,000,000, Kitchin
T"we should have put more taxeI
on incomes and excess profits and othei
items and should have found additiona
sources of revenue.
Representative Fordney, Michigan
ranking republican member of the way
and means committee, proposed TIVE
cent tax on all bank checks of 500 O
less, saying this would raise $1,000,000,
900. The ways and means committee
split sharply over the question of rails
ing additional taxes. Representativ,
Hill, Connecticut, committee member
insisted that the whole bill be sent bacl
to the committee and perfected.
Representative Madden, Illinois, re
publican, supported Hill. Garner
Texas, a committee member, opposet
either any increases in taxes under tn
bill or the proposed reconsideration b,
the committee
The committee could meet next Octo
ber and decide on additional taxes.
Radical revamping OF the revenu
bill, with startling increases in taxes OF
big incomes so the war will be mad
pay as. we-go, was forecast by the actioi
today.
Acting in committee of the whole, tn
house adopted an amendment by Len
root, Wisconsin, raising the surtax OF
incomes of over 100000 This action
followed the adoption of an amendmen
late yesterday increasing the surtax OF
incomes $4,000 and over.
McAdoo's IS statement showed total ap
preparations already authorized for de
| ficiencies during the present year ant
for appropriations for the fiscal yea
that starts July l, next, of $l,Ss9,4l2,

AMERICAN COMMANDER
REPORTS: WERE READY
FOR IMMEDIATE DUTY"
Bridshers Surprised When
. DestrOyers Arrive Prepared
for Business

London, May l7.-Knowing that Am
erican destroyers are to9ay combing the
seas along with British warships search
ing for submarines, the terse announce
ment of the American commander -
"We re ready for immediate duty" =
upon arrival of the fIotilla at Queens
town sent thrill through England to-
day.
That the American vessels arrived on
this side ready for instant action, and
that one of the destroyers has already
had a brush with a submarine became
known following the first admiralty
statement announcing their presence.
The British admiralty never discloses
details of actions between its patrol
vessels and submarines-unless there
have been casualties to the British
forces. The same plan presumably will
cover whatever the admiralty may have
to say regarding the American destroy
ers in action In the preliminary an
nouncement, however, it is believed the
admiralty desired to let the people OF
England know that the Americans were
"in the thick of it" and therefore per
mitted announcement showing the de
stroyer-U U-boat action. What the out
come of the brushes, the admiralty
withheld.
Every British naval officer and sea
man who has seen the American flotil'
la is open-voiced in admiration of the
business like appearance of both ships
and men. The destroyers had been
"cleared for action" on the way over,
stripped down to fighting trim and the
personnel drilled to the second.
London newspapers glowed in relat-
ing the incident of how British Officers
who boarded the American flotilla com
mander's flagship to bid him welcome
and to take tea with him, learned that
the American commander expected to
begin duty the next morning.
The British had expected several days

ers on the casket. This was covered with
palms and borne on the shoulders Of the
distinguished pail bearers, immediate
ly followed by Mrs. Choate on the arm

Among these was one from the Bri-
tish embassy at Washington. 1t was

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Petrograd, May l7.-Russia appeared
today to have passed the crisis of her
political sickness and to have started
on the road to convalescence. Differ
ences between the duma government
and the soldiers and workmen s dele
gates were melting away and the for
nation of cabinet which seems GER
tain to command full support of all
factions went on apace.
Today the executive committee OF
the soldiers and workmen g commit
tee met with the duma ministry. They
asked that the ministry include in the
recognized cabinet three social demo-
Gratis and three national socialists
six out of twelve Of the cabinet posts.
Official denial of alarmist reports
of conditions of anarchy at Vladivo-
stol1 was issued today. 1t was asserted
the army commandant there reported
complete quiet and cooperation of al!
classes ever since the revolution.
American Influence Felt
One thing which it seems has had
great e1fect in stopping the inferno
cine strife among factions here is the
series of statements printed IN kus
sian newspapers from prominent Amer
leans urging complete democracy ana
unity of effort to oust autroeratlc
Germany. Today the statements OF
Hamilton Holt, New York editor, and a
number of American socialists that the
United States does not seek and does
not favor ACKNOWLEDGMENT in the war
were received with special favor.
Few people outside of Russia Will
understand why there has been so much
vaeillation about coalition cabinet
why the Soldiers and workmen 8 dele

ed this refusal into acceptance, on Ger
tain specified terms; why the duma
leaders rejected the specific terms and
how it comes today that, there is 80
much "'iockeying" between the two
factions for the organized cabinet. AN

Washington, May IL. - The
first 100000 men under the new
selective service bill will not be
called until about September l,
1t became known today.
Secretary Baker, in letter TO
Senator Jones, Washington, said
that the delay in the call is due
to "the depleted state of war
supplies. -
Senator Jones had written
Baker asking if conseripted
troops could not be used to help
harvest tho coming crops. Bak-
er's reply said that owing to the
depleted state Of supplies, "it
will not be practical to call out
the first 100000 men until about
September l." and that there
fore, "thCre win be no appreei-
: able interference with the labor
supply Of the country until that
; date. -
Baker added that when the
: men are called they will have to
; be continuously trained to the
colors until they are sent
