GERMANS WOULD NOW
ATTEMPT TO FLANK
RHEIMS DEFENDERS

offensive with the German shock troops
meeting the French counter assaults in
repeated clashes.
Yesterday, the Germans began throw
ing in their reserves, which had been
masscd in the rear. These were origin
ally intended to he used only in develop
irg any great initial success. The fact
that they are being thrown into the COM
bat now is another indication that the
Germans are hard hit.
French and American hammer blows
have crashed into the enemy lines at ev-
cry point since the drive began.
Dispatches received during the night
said the Germans had started an attack
on the line from FossOy to Oeuilly, a
front Of more than 16 miles, along the
Marne. This battle takes in some of
the ground recaptured In American and
French counter attack earlier in the
week.
The Germans are across the Marne on
front of abuot 10 miles but the strong
est effort to develop this advantage is
being made only along the roads to Ep-
ernay. To the south. they were not alb
lie TO exploit their gain inasmuch as the
whole river valley was under constant
showers Of French shells.
A new feature of the offensive is the
developments Of screen fire over a great
belt of terran behind the Ines. In many
places this belt Of shell fire is 20 miles
deep. The American and French bat
tories are searching every inch Of the
enemy back areas with nigh explosives
and allied bombing raids in which vass
scores of machines drop quantities OF
missiles are frequent.

SIX PER CENT TAX
LIMITATIONS LAW
is CONDEMNED
Commission Will Complete
Pendleton Budget Of
States Needs

"The six per cent tax limitation is a
calamity upon this state and we must
take steps to meet it," declared Cover
nor Withyeombe yesterday, when the
state tax commission met to consider the
question of initiating u NH to provide
an additional tax levy to raise more
funds than can be raised under the
tax limitation.
To get the matter down dpon busi.
ncss.like basis, as suggested by Socre.
tary of State Olcott, the commission
will compile tentative budget of all
the state S needs and meet again Aug
ust 15 for further consideration, and to
give anyone who desires to be heard
an opportunity to appear before the
commission.
Governor Withycombe said appropria.
tions made by the last Legislature for
the maintenance of the state institu-
ions totalcd 81, ,399,l35 and that the in.
crease in cost for the next biennium will
average 25 per cent, making an addi
tional requirement of $349,7S9.
Deficiencies have already been allow.
ed for 100000, he pointed out, and said
Likely 100000 more will be necessary
making a total of $500,O0O.
"That will absorb all of the six per
cent increase in taxes and fees to be col
lected," " he said. "Not dollar will b..
left to meet the $349,OOO increase and
war demands.
He said money will be needed for the
military police, state council of defense
and other war activities. He advocated
the construction of hospital at Port
land for wounded soldiers, saying the
state and Multnomah county and city of
Portland should unite in bearing the
cost, which he placed at about 100000.
He said the government will have
1900 men in training at 0. A. G. aud
the state should provide buildings for
them.
State Treasurer Kay said new build
ings will be needed at the state insti.
tuition for feeble minded, at the Oregon
state hospital, and probably another in
stituticns. A committee of women, he
said, is now investigating the boys
school and also the school for girls, and
they probably will want additional
buildings.
Both the governor and the state treas.
urer attacked an article which appeared
IN the O1ogon journal Sunday, giving
estimates on the requirements Of the
state government.
Mr.. Kay said the article was unfair
because it eliminated all requirements
for new buildings for the state and he
| took exception to the statement that the
legislature would have enough funds NV.
ailable to meet the state S needs.
If the supporters Of this six per
cent tax limitation are going to fight
a measure for more funds, " he said, "l
for ore will leave it TO them to get the
state out of this muddle." +"
Governor Withycombe said the stats
treasurer should not pay any attention
to such twaddle.
Any paper which makes that report
Is unreliable, unfair aud dishonest" he
declared. "It is the cheapest kind Of
twaddle from a brain unfair and rlr
scrupulous.

cuH swallows Revenge.

L. NJ. Hollingsworth tells story of
the way a cliff swallow treated a blue
bird who had stolen its nest:
"While making my home with
grandmother, an uncle told me the
following incident in the life of the
cliff swallows. One spring, on re-
turning to their old home under the
caves, pair of the swallows found
their nest already In possession OF n
pair of earlier blue birds. They tried
In vain to drive them out. At last
they called council of war in which
the whole company Joined. After
reaching a decision. they formed a
constant line OF swallows from the
horse pond TO the nest, each carrying
n little pellet of mud Each one built
his pellet into the mouth of the neg,
until they had the blue bird that held
the nest walled up within it. The
nest afterward became dislodged and
fell with the carcass of the blue bird
still within it. The bird mad isd IL
ita prison"

MAY Draft Doctors.

Washington. The government is
about to assume control of the entire
medical profession in the United
States to obtain sufficient doctors for
the army and at the same time to dis
tribute those remaining to the locali-
les or services where they are most
needed for civilian work. This mobi-
lization is to be accomplished either by
enrolling all doctors in a voluntary
service corps, under pledge to accept
whatever service, military or civilian,
is assigned to them, or, If the volun-
tary plan is not successful, by legisla-
ton providing for drafting them into
service.

ARMORED CRUISER
SUNK BY U-BOAT
SAN DIEGO SENT DOWN OFF
FIRE ISLAND WHEN SUBS
RESUME OPERATIONS.
OF a Total Of 1889 Officers and Men,
All Escaped Without Injury When
Vessel is Attacked BY German
Sea Raider.

New York.-German submarines ap.
pear to have renewed operations off
the American coast. The United
States armored cruiser San Diego was
sunk not far from the entrance of New
York harbor on July 10. Circum-
stantial reports reaching here indicate
that she was torpedoed.
A total of 1889 officers and men are
known to have been saved from the
armored cruiser San Diego, which was
sunk off Fire Island, N. Y. There were
no casualties and none was injured, ac-
cording to latest adyices to the navy
department.
The return of raiders was not unex-
pected. The San Diego was the first
major war ship to be lost since the
country entered the war. None but
commercial coastwise ships fell prey
to the submarines on their first raid
and In the war zone none but Destroy
ers, transports and small patrol boats
have been successfully attacked.
Despite reports Of attacks on other
ships and that warnings had been sent
to coastwise shipping to keep close to
the coast, naval officials steadfastly
maintain they had no information on
which to believe that the submarines
had come again. The sinking aroused
the war spirit in the capital more than
the news of the great drive by Ameri-
cans in France, which as PROPOSE
ton of military Importance is of vastly
more concern than the loss of COM
paratfvely unimportant ship.
