The first act by the department
when war became a fact was to pre-
pare copies of the war resolution and
proclamation for all the foreign mis-
sions here for immediate transmission
to their governments. Gables were
sent to American missions abroad and
full mail dispatches prepared to go
forward at once. So much of this
work had been foreseen that it merely
awaited release on word that the
president had signed the proclamation.
Instructions prepared several days
ago were sent by the treasury depart
ment to cease transmitting details of
the armament and armed guards on
merchantmen entering American har-
bOrs, on the ground that henecofrth
no restrictions will be placed on such

PARIS, April G.-The French official
communication issued tonight reports
progress for the French troops north
west of Rheims, where sanguinary
fighting has been in progress for two
days. Elsewhere commandments have
predominated. The communication
says:
Northwest of Rheims we have made
progress by means Of grenades east of
Sapigneul. The Germans have violent
~ bombarded Rheims
In the Argonne a surprise attack on
an enemy trench at La File Morte
enabled US to make a number of Ger
mans prisoner, among them being three
officers. Our airplanes destroyed two
German captive balloons
"Orierte Great activity by the
enemy artillery is reported in the Mo-
nastir-C erna sector The enemy at
tempted vailly to attack with grenades
Italian troops in the vicinity of Hill
1850. On our part We repuised five at
tacks on Tarvena Stena river west of
Monastir."
LONDON. April 6.-Continuing Brit
ISL attacks north of st. quentin, the
I British have captured the village of
Lempire, north of Ronssoy. The Of
fetal communication from headquar-
ters in France adds that prisoners were
taken and that large numbers of Ger
man dead were found.
The operations in the past week be
tween St Quentin and Arras, the state
ment adds, resulted in severe German
losses.
The statement says:
we continued our attacks north of
s., Quentin YESTERDAY in the neighbor-
hood Of Ronssoy (ten miles north Of
-. Quentin) and carried the village
where further prisoners and three
more machine guns We're captured
rye numbers of German dead were

Today We made further progress
northeast of Noruk (about ten miles
southeast of Arras,) and drove off a
German counter attack after stiff fight

or by both methods. and that there
could be no appeal whatever to the his
private banking interests to underwrite
any part of the issue
Radical revision of the present in
come tax is considered as among the
probabilities of the war revenue meas
ure to be placed before CONGRESS-. This
revision probably will concern both ex-
tremes of the scale; involving the low
ering Of the present exemptions of S.
600 and $4,000 in individual incomes.
and heavy increases in the rate of tax
alton at present imposed on incomes of
s25 600 and over.
The opinion prevails among members
of the ways and means committee that
the governments revenue from this
source alone could be brought without
'Tdra hardship to any one uD to ST.
100000 annually and possibly more. The
income tax at nresent rates will yield
approximately s325000.0 600.
Revision of. the excess profits tax
likewise seems certain. The present
measure, which allows an exemption of
$4,000 and taxes net earnings of corpo-
rations in excess of eight per cent an
nually at the rate of eight per cent is
designed to yield s226.000,000 annually.
Experts have recently been studying
somewhat similar methods of taxation
in Great Britain and France and par
allel measure in effect in Canada which
imposes taxes up to 25 per cent on net
earnings.
One estimate is that the government
could obtain s1,000,000,000 annually
from this source.
Other proposals included increased
taxation on whiskey, beer and tobacco
and revision of the estates tax.

ASKS
PEOPLE To AID
THEREDCROSS
TRepub;ican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, April 6. - Relief
work which is undoubtedly ahead of
u.s." was referred to by President Will
son in a Letter sent tonight to the
Washington branch of the American
Red Cross. saying that as the official
volunteer aid organization of the Unit
cd States the society should receive
the generous support of the American
people. The letter was read at meet
ing to raise funds for the local organ
ization.
IA order that relief work which is
undoubtedly ahead of US should be
made thoroughly efficient" wrote the
president, ''it is most desirable that
it should be co-ordinated and concen-
trated under one organization.
Having been made the official vol
unteer aid organization of the United
States the American Red Cross comes
under the protection of the treaty of
Geneva and has received due recogni-
ton from all foreign governments. It's
status at home and abroad is now
definitely determined and assured.
The surgeons general of the war
and navy departments are members of
the executive committee of the Amer
lean Red Cross. BY act of congress
medical officers of both branches of
the service are detailed for service with
it in order that it's military relief may
be SO organized as best to supplement
the medical services of our fighting
IoT =
The civilian relief is under a train
ed and experienced personnel eSpe-
cially fitted to care for soldiers faml-
lies and other non combatants. The
accounts OF the associations are audit
&c by the war department in order
thoroughly to safeguard the funds con-
tributed by the public.
Recent experience has made it more
clear than ever that a multiplicity of
relief agencies tend to bring about
confusion. duplication, delay and waste.
Moreover, it affords temptations to
dishonest persons to take advantage Of
the general willingness of the public to
subscribe to such agencies to defraud
subscribers and rob the soldier of the
assistance he so much needs Expert
ence is certainly the most convincing
teacher and we should learn by Euro
pean examples how to conduct our own
relief work with the most thorough
efficiency, with its cathoHcity and its
democracy the Red Cross is broad
enough to embrace all efforts for the
relief of our soldiers and sailors, the
care of their families. and for the as
sistance of any other non -combatants
who may require aid.
las the president of the American
Red Cross our branch of the great
international organization, most earn
estly commend it to your confidence
and your support. Upon your aid, upon
the amounts and promptness and your
gifts and cooperation must defend the
! fulfillment of the duties that are i'm
posed upon it. 1t serves so noble and

peal to all who love their country and
who love humanity

without waiting for the end of the war
is necessary as a military and political
measure to counteract the tempest Of
the worlds public opinion" as the Yer
Waerts puts it, is evidently gaining
ground in all except reactionary cir
cles.
The demand that Germany follow the
example of Austria Hungary and de-
clare itself in favor of a peace without
anneXations is heard from moderate
liberal as well as from socialist quar-
tiers. This demand no longer repre-
sents alone the belief of many think
ing persons that annexation would be
against the real interests of Germany,
hut also the realization that after the
United States joined the ranks of the
cIemy the time has passed when Ger
many could hope to dictate terms.
The Associated Press correspondent
heard this view in even gloomier terms
from various sides in Germany at the
time of the rupture of relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
namely, that if the United States de
cided to take an active part in the war
Germany could no longer hope to gain
a victory, but. after holding out for
year and half or two years, must
inevitably submit to the economic
pressure of the blockade
Significant evidence of this change
in sentiment is given by yesterdays
