PREDICTS TAXES
Will Be DOUBLED

Washington, May 16.-Representa-
tive Hill of Connecticut, Republican
member of the ways and means COM
mittee, warned the house the pending
war taxation bill is but start toward
the taxation this country must stand
because of the war with Germany and
that another revenue bill probably
must be passed next December.
IL have no Doubt said Mr.. Hill,
"that Notwithstanding the $1,8O0,O0O,~
900 we will raise this year by this bill
we will be called on to raise $780,
100000 or~double the amount of taxes
next year. -'''5 .s, ,E:tsS.@ =
Il think our expenditures this year
will be $10,000,00o,000 counting the
cost of financing the allies.
I'VE might as we'll face this PROPOSE
ton like men and not haggle about a
tax on jewelry, tax on automobiles,
and this tax and that. It is going to
reach everybody before we get through
with it.
eve have practically entered pro-
gram of financing the allies at the
rate of $400,000,000 month. l think
that is conceded. We will have ex-
hausted the authorized bonds by July.
There are fourteen months of the life
Of this bill, May and June and the
fiscal year of 1919. At $400, ,0O0, 900 a
month we will require $5,600,o00, 200
bonds and we have authorized only

WILL USE ENFIELD RIFLE
American Army Abroad to Have Brit
ish Style of Weapon.

lSn otyte OF VSaPoH'
Washington, May 16.-Use of the
British Enfield rifle in the new Amer
ican war army has been decided on,
it was announced, to insure a suf6-
cient supply of guns for the great
force to be raised for service abroad.
BY taking the output of factories
in this country that have been max
ing guns for the allies enough guns
will be obtained to equip any number
of men called out
The announcement came from the
general munitions board of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense.
It said the Enfield rifle would be
rechambered to use American ammu-
milton and the Springfield rifle would
continue to be turned out in as large
quantities as possible.
Foreign type artillery manufacture
ed in the United States also will be
used in the American army. A three.
inch light artillery gun now made
here, it is said, has proved superior
even to the famous French '75."

Attack Austridns Along Front Of
Twenty-Five Miles.
GERMAN OFFENSIVE BREAKS

What Was Presumed to Be General
Assault on French and British Lines
on Western Front Proves. Only An
other of the Many Sporadic Counter
Thrusts.
London, May 16.-The Italians have
assumed the offensive in the Isonzo re-
gion along front of nearly twenty
five miles.
Following extremely heavy bonn
bardments the Italians loosed their
Infantry in frontal attacks and made
considerable progress at various
points, according to the Italian official
communication The battle is still in
progress.
Another success by the Venizelist
troops, fighting side by side with the
French forces in Macedonia, is re.
corded by Paris, two works extending
over fronts of more than 1,5O0 yards
having been captured and held in the
face of counter attacks
What had everywhere been thought
to be commencement of a strong Of
fensive- by the Germans, against the
British along the Lens-St. Quentin line
and the French from the region north
west of scissors into Champagne ap
parently was only one of~the sporadic
counter attacks which the Germans
have been throwing against the fronts
since the spring offensive began.
Around Bullecourt the intensive
fighting continues unabated, the Ger
mans throwing assault after assault
against the British.
Tuesday four of these were launch
ed, the Germans losing all of them ex
cept the last, when their troops drove
back the British in the western por
tion Of the village for a distance ot
about 100 yards. :S-.st
In all the attacks the German cas-
ualties were extremely heavy, in one
of them about 250 dead and woundel
being left inside the British lines.

A nail not driven entirely in and

cannot be withdrawn without breaking
a hammer handle will come out easily
if it is struck a smart blow first. The
same holds true with screw. If it
