uted to the United Press developments.

PRESIDENT WILSON

Secretary Of Treasury Work
ing On List Of Facts and
Figures In Question

Washington. May 90. President
Wilson has decided to stand behind
Secretary McAdoo in the tax bill
fight
This development today convinced
members of congress that revenue
measure cf some kind would be fore
ed through this session.
McAdoo himself worked during the
day on facts and figures to present to
members of the house and senate fl
nance committees later this week.
Decision of the president to support
McAdco's s contention for a tax meas.
ure this session will probably result
in early opening Of work on the meas
ure by house and senate committees.
Congressional leaders believed that
congress probably will recess from time
to time while the committees are work
ing-thus enabling senators and repre-
sentatives to get back home for pre-
election campaigning and at the same
time be on time when the time comes
for considering the measure.
There is distinct difference OF
opinion in President Wilson S cabinet
regarding the need for tax bill this

President w. T. Foster of Reed Col

tanee.
The French had no adequate means Of
caring for their wounded and the thous-
ands who were returned from Germany
as unfit for military duty until the Am.
erican Red Cross had established itself
in every section of the country, be said.
AS an evidence of the great work
being done in France by the Red Cross
Mr.. Foster noted the fact that French
soldiers when wounded preferred to be
sent to an American hospital.

the Germans, the speaker from person.

pitals had been bombed, where German
air planes had swooped down killing
women and children, where fields had

With the Americans in Picardy, May
21.-Resumption Of the German often
sive may include this region.
The enemy's persistent aerial activity
day and night and the marked quietude
of artillery fire may be the forerunner
of the storm. The boches have been par
tieularly quiet during the past SO hours,
except aerially.
The Germans have not dug in exten-
sively in the Cantigny and Montdidier
region, possibly indicating that it is no
part of their plan to establish their line
there, but rather to continue their effort
to push on farther.
When the blow comes, il is entirely
possible that the allied line will give
somtwhat in a few places. No sane man
wonld attempt to take blow full on
the chest. He would lessen the force by
drawing back his body, thus giving
greater freedom to the rebound.

perate chances in an effort to cross the
! lines to search for the tell.tale dust
