Paris, June 2.-Sixteen times since May 20 the Germans have attacked he positions taken from them on that day by the French at Mount Carnillet and the heights of the Teton and the Casque, south of Moronvilliers in the Champagne. All the efforts have been characterized by the greatest obstin- acy, the assaulting waves retiring only when their ranks were so thinned by French 3-inch spells and machine gun fire that they could no longer hold together,
 The most violent of these attacks was one upon the CasQue and the Te- ton, which are the most advantageous observation points in this sector, com mandng a view of the entire Moronyil- Hers region. The fighting went on all day. The first column of troops that advanced was decimated by the French fire. The second. after suffer Ing heavy losses, got into some of the advanced trenches on the Teton The 3-inch rifes and machine guns of tIhe French quickly decimated this attack ing force and bayonets accounted for what were left.
 At nightfall two more columns re- turned to the attack. Both were broken up before they reached the French trenches.
 Four columns were sent in quick succession against the Teton and the Casque on the night or May 30, They came on stubbornly in spite of heavy punishment hy the French guns until some fractions got to the French trenches. where furious hand-to-hand fighting occurred. The French bayOn- cts drove the Germans back each time except at one point, where they held on until morning, when they were driv- en out The parapets of the French trenches and the harbed wire entangle- ments were thick with German dead after this futile effort

PUBLISHERS OPPOSE
 INCREASED MAIL RATES
AS A WAR TAX MEASURE URGE THAT A TAX BE PLACED ON
 THE ADVERTISING.

 lications having dhe second-class or cent-a-pound mailing rate
 The publishers were asked to sug- gest taxation plan and the unan- mous recommendation Of ewing upon advertising receipts was the result af- ter an hours dis,pission. Tine in. creased postage rates would put mafy publishers out of business and could not be passed a'ong, the committee was told, while q tax on advertising receipts could be met by increased ad- yertsing rates.
 The plan proposed by Senator Hard wick and indorsed by the postoffice department to leave present postage rates on news portions of publications and heavily increase that on the ad. vertising carried was condemned by the publishers as more detrimental to their interests than the house zone system already rejected by the com mittee.
 In asking the publishers views, Sen ator Simmons made it clear that the committee was determined to levy war taxes of some sort upon publishers. He suggested a combination postage and advertising tax, but the publish CTS protested against any change what ever in mai, rates Senator Simmons pointed ont that letter rates are to be increased one-half postcard rates doubled and parcel post shipments taxed. adding that there was a tsrong sentiment in congress against except ing second-c ass mail entirely from the increase.

They in dlcated that they had positive contir' nation of oyertures designed to secure control of the island, but that they were uncertain whether the effort had met with any degree Of success.

Since May 20 their fruitless assaults have numbered six teen.
 The last important assault was car. ried out on the night of May 20 and for this selected German regiments were especially trained behind their own lines before they were thrown against tn French lines, but they on v met with disaster
 On this occasion the first and sec ond assaulting waves were every. where annihilated before they were half wny to he French positions. A few men in the waves that followed ob- tained a footing in the French lines and the fiercest bayonet duels ensued, in which all the German assaulting forces were killed except in one trench. where a German detachment held out nnti daybreak. These men then were wipd out in the course Of a French counterattack
