Associated Press Summary

v
 After five days of extraordinarily hard fighting between the Canadians and the Germans, the little village of Fresnoy, lying southeast of Lens, and the adjacent woods, are again in Ger man hands.
 In retaking these positions, where the Canadians had stood for days, holding the most advanced salient in the British line projecting toward Douai, the Germans paid terrible price.
 Preceded by a heavy artillery fire, in which asphysiating gas shells were freely used, counter attacks were launched in the early morning. Ma chine gun and rifle fire of the de- lenders swept the Germans as they threw themselves forward, but they would not be denied and finally pene- trated trenches northeast of the vil- village.
 Their tenure of the positions, how ever, was shortlived, for the Cana- dians soon afterwards returned, drove out the Germans and again held full sway.
 Reforming later, and reinforced by two fresh divisions, the Germans again made a bid for victory on the entire front before the village and wood. The right wing of the de- lenders held steadfastly and inflicted heavy losses on the Germans. The left wing, however, notwithstanding e evacuate the village and wood.
 Berlin reports 200 prisoners and six machine guns fell into the hands of Germans.
 There has been continuation of violent fighting southward in the Bullccourt and Roeux sectors, with out notable changes in positions. AL though the latest French communica- tion reports no infantry action dur ing Tuesday on the line held by the French in France, the Associated Press correspondent tells of desper- ate German attack south of Berry all Bac, which was sanguinarily repulsed. the Germans leaving many dead and 120 prisoners. The prisoners, with others taken in small raids. have brought the captive by French since April 16, to between 29,000 and 3O.cOO.
 Artillery activity along the entire Macedonian front continue violent. in- dicating possibly the near approach of a general offensive.
 Small engagements between entente forces and Austrian and Turkish troops between Lakes Ochrida and 'Presba, and between entente forces and Teutonic allies along the Czerna, are rep0rted

Washington, May S-The war reve- coo during the coming year by tax atiOn. was approved by the house ways and means committee late today, by unanimous vote.
 Democratic Leader Kitchens an- n0unccd the measure will be reported tomorrow, and will be brought up for consideration Thursday. It will be passed. 1t is believed, without political division, within q few days, although there will be vigorous opposition to some of it's features from both Demo- crats and Republicans.
 In the meantime. the senate finance committee will begin public hearings Gn the measure Friday, with the view of being ready to report the bill soon a fter the house acts on the measure.
 Tariff On Everything.
 To raise the total to the amount desired, the house wrote into the measure flat increase of 10 per cent in all tariff duties now in force and placed 10 per cent. tariff on all articles now admitted free. This is expected to bring in a revenue of $240 ,0OO, 900 more than double the present tariff revenues. The house committee decided also ] to make all income tax increases retroactive, beginning with the pres- ent calendar year, although all other features of the bill become effective when it is signed by the president.
 The income tax increase, applying to both personal and corporation in comes, is designed to produce $533, 900 O0O more than the present income tax receipts.
 Most of the new revenue will come from income taxes, excess profits taxes, inheritance taxes. and tariff duties.
 Letter mail will be increased from 2 cents to 3 cents an ounce, and postal cards from 1 cent to 2 cents, while $19,00O,0O0 will be added to the charges against newspapers, on the new system, based on the parcels post zone system.
 Internal revenue taxes on liquors and tobacco will be increased and there will be taxes on amusements and manifold stamp taxes.
 Lower Income Exemption.
 The war income tax section doubles the present normal tax of 2 per cent. on individuals and 3 per cent. on corporations. The measure lowers the income exemptions from $4,00O to s2,OOO as to married persons. and from $3,OO0 to $1,000 for unmarried persons.
 In addition, beginning with incomes of $50,00O, there will be graduated super-taxes imposed in addition to the normal per cent, ranging to B per cent. on all incomes of more than $50O,000.

British Foreign Secretary Makes Address on Floor
 of Senate Chamber.
DEMOCRACIES TO
 PRESERVE LIBERTY
"Three Great Nations Now Aroused and Fired With Determination, As- surfing Triumph of Free lnsti-
 tutiOns," He Declares.

Washington, May s. Foreign Sec
 retary Balfour declared in an epochal
 address in the senate chamber today
 that the war conference here had ce- mented an alliance of three great de- mocracies, destined to crush the greatest world menace of all time, and to save civilization and liberty. Though severe trials still must be faced, three peoples now have been aroused and fired with determination, insuring the ultimate triumph of free institutions" he said.
 "This war is to be settled by hard fighting" said the British statesman, "and when it comes to hard fighting, neither America nor Britian nor France need fear measuring them selves at any moment against those who have risen up against all that we hold dear for the future. It requires every man and woman on this side of the Atlantic, as on the other side, to throw their efforts into the scale of right, but that effort unquestion- ably will be made. I speak with con- fidence about the issue of this great struggle, a confidence that is re- doubled since you have thrown in your lot"
 The submarine campaigns presents situation just now he said, but more than one difficulty of like mag nitude has been overcome" The war should not be won by the killing of helpless women and children, or un- warranted attacks on neutrals. Fail ure to comprehend that the two great English-speaking peoples would and could fight for an ideal he character ized as the greatest blunder made by the Germans in the war.
 Because we are unmilitary they jumped rashly to the conclusion, first, that we were afraid to fight and, second, that if we fought, we should be negligible quantities. think they are beginning to find out their 
 The foreign secretary expressed full appreciation of the warm recep- tion given the war missions by the government and people, declaring that this attitude had raised the whole level of the conferences from a purely business nature to a signifi- canoe that appears in history as epochal.
 In his visit to the senate MT. Bal four was accompanied by lieutenant General Bridges and Admiral de Chair, of the British mission, and they were given a reception rivaling in en- thusiasm that given them in the house.
 Vice President Marshall presented the foreign secretary as "the foremost champion of the Magnus Charter" an instrument of liberty without which neither America or France would be or have hope of being"
 Applause from the floor and the galleries punctuated MT. Balfour's speech and at the end the senators arose in their seats and cheered him.

All Forces Are United in Opposition to Policy of
 German Chancellor.
IS BLAMED FOR
 WARS DURATION
German Versions of Recent Fighting On Western Front Altered for "isome YOnsumptiOn' and Show Defeats
 of Entente at All Points.

Copenhagen, via London. March B. have now brought up their heavy ar tillerv in the battle against EhaDccl- Tor vOn BethmannIlollWeg and boldly lay the blame for the long duration of the war at his door. The conservative Deutsche Tages Zeitung eXplaines that three or four days delay in German mobilization at the outset of the war, due to the chancellor's hesitant policy caused the loss of the battle of the Marne.
 The paper holds the troops that were detached to stem the Russian invasion of East Prussia would have been sufficient to change the defeat of General Kluck's army into vic- tory and that in that case the war would have ended in a speedy and decisive German triumph. The Tages Zeitung goes on to declare that the chancellor threw away a second chance of terminating the war by Op- posing ruthless submarine warfare It cites Field Marshal Conrad von Hcetzendorf, Austrian commander in cnleI, as say Ing recently.
 "The war would have been over long ago if the submarine campaign had begun year earlier
 The pan-Germans and annexation ists are all comparing the chancellor tc Bismarck and demanding his re- tirement because he does not measure up to Germany's "iron man." The agitation for the downfall of von Bethmann-Hollw is unconcealed in press and parliament and is rein forced by mass gatherings organized by imperialist leagues and the inde- pendent committee for German peace The bitterness increases as the chances grow for reform of po- litical conditions in Germany. The chancellor's opponents couple their attacks with far from flattering re- marks about the Austro- Hungarian government for it's declarations in favor of moderate peace terms.
 Allied Reports DOctOred.
 The German version of the French official war report of last Saturday suppresses entirely the reference to the character of a portion of the HlnuenDurS line southeast or VauXll- lon. Other evidence of the factoring of allied official reports to make them agree with claims in the German of- ficial statement indicates the anxiety of the German authorities to the ef- feet of the news from the western front upon public opinion.
 A supplementary report supplied to the Monday morning papers through the German official news bureau ig-
