While the British surge forward toward

the Disc River line, are pounding both sides
Of the German salient at La Fere and
coucy. Along the fighting front. between
ct. Quentin and Laon, the French are
thrusting themselves against the German
defenses in an effort not only to pocket" the
Teuton stronghold of St Quentin. but to
turn the German line north of the Aisne
River.
The Allies have had to withstand savage
counter assaults all along the long line.
The suggestion of military critics that
the present German enterprise is stra-
togic mask for a bigger movement else
where is strengthened by the following dis
patch from Amsterdam in the Morning Post
today:
The Nieuw Courant is informed that
between March Is and lS German
troops were transported in Belgium on
q larger scale than at any other time
since the beginning of the war.
The dispatch did not say whether = the
troops were being sent into the eastern
theatre Of war or whether they were being
massed along the northern end of the west
ern front, ostensiby for drive against
Calais.
There has been no break in the contin-
nous fighting along the battlefield between
Arras and the ,Aisne, according to dis
patches reaching here today from behind
the front
Along the Bapaume highway
where the British captured Lagnicourt, the
Germans delivered counter-attacks in mass
formation and there were heavy cannon
ades on both sides.
Between the Somme and the Aisne par
ticularly hard fighting is reported from the
sectors of Essigny-le-Grand, Vendeuil. For

Correspondents in the front telegraph
that the German troopers are evidently
holding their positions along the "Hinden-
burg line" In great force and are putting
up most stubborn resistance.

GIRLS ESCiPADE IS
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Mrs. A. Benson Arrested and
Her Husband Wanted for
Aiding Girls

Mrs. A. Benson, who lives in North
Salem near the old polytechnic school,
was arrested this morning by Chief Of
lice Cooper, on the charge of assist
ing and aiding Osa Roberts, Josephine
Mary Oliver, and Margaret Brennan,
inmates of the Girl s Industrial school,
to escape last Sunday evening. Mr..
Benson, who was dairyman at the state
mute school, could not be found by the
Officers but it was learned that
Wednesday he had suddenly left the
city for the harvest fields. He it is al
legged was the state employe implicated
in the trouble that arose between the
runaways and caused thin to return to
the school after being away two days.
Mrs. Benson appeared in Justice
Webster's court this morning, and un-
less she can furnish bail, will be given
preliminary hearing Saturday. If
she can furnish bail the hearing will
probably be next week. 1t is desired
however, by the authorities, that Mr..
Benson be apprehended shortly so that
both can be given hearing at once.
The story told by Josephine Oliver
about two boys coming to the school fof
them in an automobile has been ex'
ploded as fabrication when the girls
admitted they walked away from the
school alone. They went Immediately
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Benson,
where they were given shelter, food,
and clothing. They remained there
Sunday night Early next day they
were taken to the woods north OF the
Benson home and supplied with blank
cts. Here food was brought to them.
Monday evening they were taken to
the Benson barn, where they were to
be lodged for the night.
Two of the girls did not like the ac-
tions of Benson and the dissatisfaction
arose that broke up. the escape, osa
Roberts and Margaret Brennan re-
turned to the city and telephoned to
the school. Josephine Oliver remained
| in the barn and was found wrapped up
in the blankets by Sheriff Needham
and Chief Cooper At the investigation
Wednesday the girls would not say
whether improper advances had been
made or not.

citizens associations, all fighting to for
ward the interests of Washington, but
organized for different subsidiary pur-
poses, and battling along varied lines of
approach and with distinct methods of
attack, cannot with advantage to Wash
ington be merged and welded into sin

the maximum in the capitals interest
under scientific system of energetic
and efficient cooperation.
! The immediate merger task in Wash

new members of the Chamber of Com
merce The new members exceed the old
in number and their views are unde
fined or at least, as yet, unexpressed in
regard to the primary purposes of the
organization, whether commercial or
civic; its framework of government,
whether democratic under home rule or
dictatorial and alien; its dues, whether
heavy or moderate, and the methods by
which its ends are to be accomplished

periority in efficiency. Washington will
have a fine and highly useful CONNER
cial organization, dominated by the mer-
chants and manufacturers of the city
into which the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation would then by merger naturally
be absorbed.
When hurtful lack of harmony among
Washington organizations can be cured
or minimized by intelligent co-opera-
ton, merger should in the public in
terest be avoided. For in it's first stage
merger is destructive. involving the
death of the organizations to be merged

the resurrection of an ideal organiza-

experimental about the prospective
resurrection there must be no prelimi-
nary ante-merger murder.

House. Senate and Tariff.

The leaders of the House are dis
turbed over the report that the leaders
of the Senate may present and pass
revenue bill of their own fashlonlng'
Hence the House question: of our Dill
is thus to be done for, what was 1t be-
gun for'"
Well, it cannot be denied that the
House bill was very hastily knocked TO-
gether. and as hastily passed. There
were no committee hearings. No con
sideration whatever was paid to husi-
ness interests desiring and requesting
hearings. They should have been
granted day in court. But the com
mittee doors were locked, and the work
was done behind them.
There was practically no debate in the
open chamber. What answered to that
name was hurried. A bill carrying
nearly two billion dollars-a record
was whipped through like race horse
on the home stretch. Objections from
the outside were unheeded. The fact
that the business world was vocal with
protests made no impression. The com
mittees work was approved.
In that strait the business world
turned to the Senate. Other refuge had
it none. Wisely and properly the
finance committee granted hearings;
and both it and the country at large
have profited from them. Everybody
understands the situation now better
than before. Why, then, should not the
Senate shape its course by the light thus
obtained? Why not fashion bill of
its own, and let the House bill slide?
This is not to say that the Senate
the light obtained. If reports are cor
rect, it is meeting with some serious
difficulties, and hesitating at some i'm
portant items. But it is at least weigh
ing matters.
So should the full Senate when the
time comes weigh what the committee re-
ports. From no other course is work
able revenue law-securing money with
out wide disturbance to business-pos-
sible. The Senate committee has the
right to amend the Houses work, and
the Senate the right to amend the work
of its committee, and both rights should
be fully exercised. The tussle in con-
ference will come later; and the more
strenuous that is the better may be the
measure which in the end will be laid
before the President-who will not be in
critical mood-for his signature.

The American Duty.

Washington will surely do its part in
the liberty loan It will without ques-
ton 60 beyond its allotment of $780,
600, perhaps beyond its self named limit
Of 100000. 1t is already in po-
sition to claim to be setting the pace
for the country.
Counting today, FIVE days only remain
before the loan closes. The Treasury
announces that the totals still show a
heavy deficiency from the aHotments,
and that unless there is big speeding
between now and Friday the loan will
be undersubscribed.
This must not be- The United States
must not stand before the world as fail
ing to support the government in its
financial call for war sinews. 1t must
take the loan and go beyond in it's of
fers of cash. Otherwise it wiz be pro-
claimed as Stacker.
Consider, citizens, what this would
mean-to be recorded as Stacking in sup
port of the government in its greatest
undertaking! Contemplate the shame
that would be east upon the republic if
with all its wealth the American ma
ton were to withhold funds from the
government for war work!
The enemies of this country would de-
clare that the people of America are
averse to the war. and that there is no
support for the declaration. The allies
of America would feel that all the fair
words uttered, words of support and
sympathy. are mere mouthings without
sincerity.
There is today no lack of support for
this work. There is genuine patriotism
throughout the country, in terms of will
ingness to sacrifice all, if need be. for
the cause of humanity and American
rights We here in the United States
know it to be true, We are perhaps i'm
patient with the slowness of the sub.
scriptions. but we have faith IN the
final taking of the entire loan.
Now the test has come in these last few
days No matter how high the cost of
living: no matter how uncertain the
future with regard to the taxes; no mat
