German Paper Says They

son Bitterly Attacked.

Berlin, March %, (via London).
March 23.-The Lokal Anzeiger ac-
cuses President Wilson of criminal
carelessness in his conduct Of Amer
ican German relations. The dispatch
says:
dispatches from America and 9TH
er neutral countries repeatedly play
with the idea Of the possibility of
Germany according to American ships
different treatment from that given
other neutral steamers, OH the grounds
that Germany must have. an interest
in avoiding conflict with America.
1t seems q fact that America also is
keeping alive the hope that at the
last moment we may find way to
compromise with the American stand
point. After the chancellor, as we'll
as the other officials Involved have re-
peatedly emphasized that there can
be no going gack for us, it Is only
necessary now to lay stress upon the
following:
1.-THE policy of President Wilson
since the breaking off of diplomatic
relations has been characterized by
careless and criminal errors. He has
played with the destinies of great
peoples. He desires to make his fur
ther course depend upon whether
Germany commits an overt act, that Is
an openly hostile action against al,
armed American merchantmen. At
the same time he lets 1t be known
that he has commanded these armed
merchantmen to open fire on their
part on all submarines Immediately.

WAR SITUATION
President Asks for Material
will Outline Course for
Congress to Follow.

Washington. March 23.-President
Wilson'S address to congress was TAX
en- up in its tentative form at today's
cabinet meeting. Practically all the
secretaries had been asked to bring
material for points upon which it
will touch.
While the exact nature Of the pres
ident's address necessarily will be de-
termined by the developments of the
next ten days. it is expected to be
specific in character and probably will
outline comprehensively Just what
steps he believes congress should take
to meet the warlike operations of
German submarines
Administration officials realize that
during the period of waiting a aus
tanned effort is being. made in Ger
many to place the responsibility for
war on the United States. The hint of
an offer of mediation is regarded as
an added evidence of this movement,
but the president and all his advisers
are determined that If war actually
comes 1t shall be clear to the world
that it has not been Of Americas

Washington. March 23.-The ad-
ministration has under consideration
plans for a new revenue act con-
scripting all personal incomes in ex-
cess Of 100000 year during the pc
riod OF war with Germany.
Such law, it is estimated, would
produce between 32,000,000.00o and
$4,000. 100000 year, which the ad-
ministration believes would be ade-
quate for the necessities Of this coun-
try.
Additional plans call for drastic If.
creases in the tax rates on. incomes
under 100000; ranging from S to SO
per cent. and heavy taxes on corpora
ton incomes.
To Make Wealth Bear Burden.
The purpose of such a law. it is
stated. is to have wealth bear its
share Of the war burden along with
labor
The advantages of the law, in the
opinion of it's sponsors. would be
many-fold. In the first place it would
effectually kill the cry that war was
being waged in the interest of the
rich. In the second place
It would reduce the bonded debt plac-
ed on future generations. In the third

Further south the French are at

French refugees from the devastat-
ed wilderness over which the Germans
have passed add their evidence to the
accumulating truth that Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg's purpose is to
give battle to his pursuers on a line
running from Lille. to Laon. This
means that. in the event of the
French failing to break through at
Lafere, q further withdrawal Of the
Germans is due to take place on the
British front. The sharp salient run

evacuated and. in support of this as

about Arras. This additional retire.
ment would mean the evacuation Of
about 500 more square miles Of

coal mines around Lens.
