Text of Address.
The presidents address in full fol-
lows:
Gentlemen OF the congress:
at is with unaffected reluctance
that | come to ask you to prolong
your session long enough to pro-
vide more adequate resources for
the treasury for the conduct OF the
war. | have reason 20 appreciate as
fully as yor do how ardous the ses-
sion has been. Your labors have
been severe and acted. You
have passed long series of meas
ures which required the debate of
many doubtful questions of judg-
r,ent and many exceedingly difficult
Questions of principle. as well as of
practice. The summer is upon us in
which labor and counsel are twice
as arduous and are constantly apt
to be impaired by lassitude and ia
t.gue.
The elections are a. hand and we
ought as soon as possible to go and
render an intimate account OF our
trusteeship TO the people who dele
gated us TO act for them in the
weighty and anxious matters that
crowd upon us in these days of criti-
cal choice and action. But we dare
not 60 to the elections until we
have done our duty to the full.
I hese are days when duty stands
stark and naked and even with
closed ewes we knesr L Is there.
Excuses Arc Unavailing.
Excuses are unavailing. We
Rave either done our duty or we
have not. The fact will he as gross
and plain IS the duty itself. In such
a case lassitude and fatigue seem
negligible enough. The facts are a
tonic and suffice to freshen the
iabor.
And the facts are these: Add
t.onal revenues must nanifestly be !

London, May H.-Stronc German
attacks developed early this morning
against the British and French po-
sitions between Rheims and Sois-
sons, the war office announces.
The attacks were preceded by
heavy bombardment.
The Germans also attacke this
morning in Flanders, between Locre
and Noormezeele, on the northern
side of the salient.
BY their attack OF today, the Ger
mans have extended the active battle
front as far east as Rheims. taking
new sector which has been quiet
since last fall. The thrust between
Locre and Noormezeeler is along the
northern leg of the Flanders salient.
on sector MEASURING about eight
miles where the Germans met with
one of the bloodiest defeats of the
war when their drive for the chan
mel ports was halted last month.
The attack between Scissors and
Kheims, however, is the distinctive
feature of the new German opera
tions. This battle is being Tough.
along the sector which usually is
referred to as the Aisne front, owing
to the fact that for long time the
line of battle followed the Aisne
river. The present battle line runs
along the Ailette river north of the
Aisne. Over the larger part of this
sector the French have advanced
their line.
The front OF attack is about ~
miles, which is about IS mile, short
er than the line of the original Ger
man attack of March 81.
In turning to a new sector to
strike their blow, the Germans have
taken a course contrary 10 that

FOE LAUNCHES HIS
DRIVE At FTERF0UR
WEEKS OF REST
STRIKES IN SOUTH BETWEEN
RHEIMS AND SOISSONS
AND IN FLANDERS.
TRIES FOR CHANNEL PORT
Program Seems to Be as Hereto
fore to simultaneously Push
Through to Sea and to Smash
Onto Paris in the South.
(By The Associated Press.)

Germany has resumed her drive
for division on the western front
after a lapse of nearly four weeks,
striking in the south between
Rheims and Scissors and in Flan-
ders on the northerly side of the
Lys salient.
While it is too early for the true
formation to be disclosed, the eff
fort apparently is simultaneously to
push through to the channel ports
in the north, thus breaking up the
British front, and to strike for Paris
in the south, in an effort aimed
mainly at the French.
The southerly blow covers a front
OF some forty miles and apparently
is by far the more important of
the two.

BRITISH AlRMAN HAS
 THRILLING EXPERIENCE
LANDS WITHIN THE GERMAN LINES AND HAS BATTLE
 WITH TROOP OF CAVALRY

Ottawa, Ont, Jan l-The follow. ing dispatch has been received hero by the Reuters Limited Agency.
 "A dispatch from British headquar. ters states that the enemy's attacks yesterday northwest of Iacacquerie were carried out after a fierce bonn hardment. The attack was concen- trated on a half mile front and the enemy waves advanced under cover of liquid fire. Parties swarmed into a short length of trenches on the right, but elsewhere they were unable to rush the parapet in face of machine gun and rifle fire.
 While our supports were organiz- ing for the counter attack our gun ners put up a fierce barrage against the invaders, driving them to cover and we took the whole of the trenches the Germans had carried. It was a very struggling remnant of the orig inal storming enemy party that got back across No Mans land
 The New Year was ushered in ac- cording to custom. At midnight groups of batteries put over salyos of high explosives in bursts of 8 dozen at a tim thus indicating that it was 12 o'clock. Then other gunners broke out with salvos, indicating the numeral 1918, after which boquets of gas shells were sent speeding to wish the Germans a happy New Year.
 A wonderful story is told of the adventure of a young airman who in thick weather landed and asked a peasant his whereabouts. At that moment he beheld troop of German cavalry galloping toward him He i'm mediately opened his engine full and skimming the ground charged the ad vancing Germans.
 "The leading officed fired an au tomatic pistol and the airman began operating his machine gun. The enemy's casualties include the off, cer and numerous men and horses The remainder bolted
 ''The airman intended leaving noth- ing to chance so he flew a great distance westward to insure landing on the British side When he next landed it was needless to ask his whereabouts because he recognized the British forces only a few kilo- meters away"

GOMpERS WARNS PEOPLE
 AGAINST GERMAN VICTORY
WORKERS HAVE A PART IN THIS WAR Co-EQUAL WITH THE
 SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

Washington. Jan Samuel Com pcrs. president of the American 8red eration of Labor gave out the fol lowing today:
 "The fighting and the concrete is- sues of the war are so far removed from the people of our country that not all of our citizens have a full understanding of the issues involved An understanding of the principles of autocratic force, which the central powers desire to substitute for the real principles of freedom, makes clear to all citizens of this republic the effect of our possible defeat upon their own lives and activities.
 "ln addition to the fundamental principles at issue, labor has an ad- ditlonal interest in the war This war is in the last analysis a peoples war -labors war The final outcome will be determined in the factories, the mills, the shops, the mines. the farms. the industries and the transportation agencies Of the various countries.
 That group of countries which can most successfully organize its agencies of production and transportation and which can furnish the most adequate and effective agencies with which to conduct the war. will win
 "The workers have a part in this war co- equal with the soldiers and sailors on the ships and in the trenches.
 Continuous production is an in- dispensable prerequisite to produc- ton of necessary war supplies. The government, as well as the workers themselves, is yitally interested in maintaining such conditions that there shall be no occasion for interruption in production.
 "The chief representative agents of the government have shown a desire to be fair and an understanding of the human clements involved in this prob lem. The organized labor movement has also shown an -Qually broad un- derstandng and grasp of the situa- tion"

 Director General McAdoo spent <, busy New Years day He broke rail- way precedents by ordering that the Pennsylvania cOmpany's tunnel under the Hudson river. heretofore re- stricted to passenger trains be used to hasten coal supplies into the heart of New York City The orders are to be followed. even if they inter- fere with passengev schedules.
 This action was considered signifi- cant by railroad men, not only be- cause of the direct results, but be- cause if indicated how determined the government is to use all facilities to their utmost, regardless of previous practices, to relieve congestion and promote efficiency
 -At the first conference of MT Me Adoo in the new year with his ad- visors and executives, it was decided to put additional ships now controlled by the shipping board into service carrying coal from Hampton Roads to New England
 The number of vessels which can be spared will be determined tOmor- row and they will be immediately put into the service
 Early action to divide the country into operating divisions with gov eTnment supervisor over each, and possibility of federal railroad agent for each state has been urged upon Director General McAdoo and he is said to be considering this policy
