its from bonded warehouses in antic-
ipation Of a raise in the tax rate in
the forthcoming war revenue bill con-
ress probably viii ne asked to make
the effective date Of the new tax
rate earlier than the passage of the
measure. Thus the overnment would
obtain increased revenue on many
million gallons of whisiley which 9TH
erwise it would lose.
Approximately 21O,0O0,0OO gallons OF
whiskey is stored at the present time
in bonded warehouses, subject to
withdrawal upon the distillers' order
Officials compare the situation with
that in 1904 when the tax rate was
raised from 80 cents to S110 a gal

drawn then between the passage OF
the act ard its effective date, the

BRIDGE BLOWING
ATTEMPT Fooled
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

PORTLAND, Ore. April 14.-One of
two men detected by guards in the act
of placing a bomb on an Oregon Short
Line bridge early today was seen to
plunge off it into the water when the
guards opened fire The guards then
rushed to the center of the bridge and
threw the bomb, with fuse lighted and
sputtering, into the river.
Information received here indicated
that only timely action saved the
bridge from destruction.
Two men approached the bridge on
the opposite side from which the guard
was stationed. When first seen they
were STOPPING near the center of the
structure A guard ordred them to halt
and they replied by opening fire. Other
guards were attracted by the shots
and a general fusilade ensued.
When one of the men plunged off the
bridge the other ran, mounted a horse
which he had left nearby and made off,
leading another horse, while the guards
were removing the bomb.
The man who plunged off the bridge
was not seen again.

with the German positions as practice
targets.
All winter long the British guns
have rOared in order that when the
offensive began every artillery man
would have a thorough knowledge and
familiarity with the various phases of
the modern school of gunnery.
The rapidity and precision with
which the bombardment was carried
out has been one of the distinct feat
ures of the new success. The small
losses suffered were due largely to the
cooperation and effective work of the
artillery. Every step now made for
ward finds guns of all calibres merely
waiting for the word to place a de-
structiVe fire or a protective barrage
wherever the infantry desires.
! Canadian patrols, pressing far east of
Vimy ridge today rescued from the
Germans two British officers of the
royal flying corps who were captured
five days ago when forced to descend
in the German lines.
| One of them had a fractured leg
+ The Germans had kept them in a
dugout and had given them small bits
! of food and water but did not have
! time to remove them to the rear.
! A Canadian brigadier, patrolling
with several of his men, entered a
German dug-out further along and
personally captured two prisoners

shells broke. With the usual British
white puff, balls were mingled densely
with black puffs, the latter being the
German So shrapnel recently captured
and turned against the Germans.
Several times previously during the
war German light field pieces have
been turned against them, but this was
the first time the heavier calibres
We're loosed.
Some of the points surrounding
the British, were thorns in the side of
these same soldiers during the famous
battles of the Loos Salient 1t was
impossible at that time to blow the
Germans out of their stronger posi-
lions. But now all this is changed.
The difference between the lombard
ment with which the offensive began
last Monday and that when the British
| inaugurated the battles Of the Somme
| last July was so great that it is diff
cult to realize that they came from
| the same army.
! AT the time set for the Somme bonn
bardment to begin, some of the British
ARTILLERY officers were seeing large
shells fired from their guns for the
/ first time. When the battle of Arras
began the British officers and gun
crews handled the weapons like veter-
ans. Behind them lay six or seven
months of constant training, not only
