Germany's great offensive on the
western front has been resumed With
only brief artillery preparation two
blows have, been struck by the Teu-
tom armies. which have been reorgan-
ICED since the disastrous losses were
inflicted ON them by the French and
British during the Picardy and Flan-
ders battles In March and April. One
attack was ON the line from Voorms.
aeels to Locre. southwest Of Ypres;
the other ON Q thirty-five mile front
from Ptnon. north to Scissors. to
Rheims. This ID known a. the Aisne
sector.
In Flanders the Germans have
gained virtually nothing. but further
south the Berlin official statement
claims that the German crown princes
troops have carried the whole ridge Of
the Chsmin des Danes and now are
fighting on the Aisne river.
On the Aisne front the present bat
tie recalls the fearful fighting Of last
summer along the Chemin des Danes
where for weeks the German crown
prince hurled his men against the
French positions, only to sec then
crushed and beaten. The attack here
10 really in the nature Of line
Strengthening operation.
It is being launched from Laon as q
center and is aimed at the elbow in
the line formed during the fighting in
Picardy in March and April.
Evidence that the allied supreme
command was forewarned of the At
tack may be found in the fact that
British troops are fighting there.
The German crown prince is in
command In this sector, and this may
indicate q serious effort to break the
allied line.
Crown Prime Rupprecht Of Bavaria
IL the nominal commander in Artois
and Picardy, and the German crown
prince, for dynastic reasons, will
srive to outdo whatever success was
attained by his colleague further
north. .
The late official reports are known
to be holding positions.
Almost coincident with the new
German assault, the Italians launched
Q blow at the Austrian lines In the
mountain region to the northwest Of
Lake Garda. According to reports
they have carried Monticello Pass.
village of Presena. Monte Zigolon and
the mountain spur to the east. Before
them lie parallel streams leading
down into the Lagarina valley, and
II they successfully carry out their
attack there, 1t is possible for them
to outflank the entire Austrian posi-:
ton in the north Of Italy.

CRISP FIGHT To
TAX INCOMES Of
OFFICIALS IS WON
AFTER LONG TIME
CONGRESSMAN FROM THIRD DIS
TRICT SUCCEEDS IN HAVING
PROVISION WRITTEN INTO WAR
REVENUE BILL MAKING SALAR-
les OF OFFICE-HOLDERS LA
BILE AS INCOME.

Americas friends of Representa-
tive Charles r. Crisp will learn with
qualification that he has just won his
fight in the House for the provision
he wrote into the war revenue bill in
committee which levies a tax on the
income from the salary of federal,
state or municipal official thus plac-
ing them on the same footing with
the members of Congress who have
been subject to an income tax ever
since that went into effect. Crisp
made a strong speech in support OF
the provision, answering those who
claimed that it was a dangerous in
fringement of the rights of the states
or that it is not constitutional by
stating that this is specifically a war
tax and that any feueral Or state Of
fetal, president, Judge, governor or
mayor, ought to be willing to bear
his portion of the war burden to the
extent imposed by this tax.
Chairman Kitchen warmly support
ed the Georgia member, saying that
if there was any doubt about the con-
stitutionality of the tax, it could
easily be settled in the courts. He
protested against the assertion that
it was an unwarranted interference
with the taxing powers of the states.

escape was reported 10 the local po-
lice on Monday. August 5. the day
before the crime was committed. and
is stil at large.
Fairfax County oficials said last
night that the new clue will be in
vestigated Immediately.
Walter Oliver. attorney for Lou
Hall, the woodcutter held in the Fair
fax County Jail for the crime, said
that he believed the new clue 20 be
promising. Mr.. oliver also stated that
he had recently received some infor-
nation that would be Of interest II
Hall ever comes TO trial
