New York, June 6.--Although the latest German official communication announces that the situation on the battle front is unchanged. there has been d change on one oG the most in- portant sectors in pioardy. Aul American marines wer irresponsible for it.
 Attacking on a front of about two and One-half miles, in fight that began Thursday with the break of I dawn, the marines, in four hours, drove back the enemy over a distance of virtually two and one-QudrJer miles and occupied all the important ,high ground northwest of Chateau Thierry, which village in previous light the American maebine gunnera had turned into a shamDles uy the ac- curacy of their aim as the Germans | tried to wrest bridge from them. After a breathing space in Thurs days battle, the Americans late in the afternoon returned to the fray and at last accounts hard iishlns was in progress for this important sector which commands the Marne at that part of the front where the bar l tie line sWiugs eastward toward | IRheims The marines took roo Ger mans prisoner in the early encoun ter. while the French troops on their | left also gained an advantage oyer the enemy and made iG0 of his mon captives
 So hard pressed have the Germans been by the attacks of the Ameri- cans in the Chateau Thierrg sectoy | during the las. few days that they have been compelled strongly 10 re inforce their front, using three di- visions of picked troops in an attempt to hold back the men from overseas
 Thus far however, their efforts had not been availne The AmeriIns would not deny their obiectives.
 Around Veuilly -la-Poteric, where recently the Americans have deal | the Germans several savage blows and captured portions of the terraif they were occupying. the enemy now seems fearfrl of another onslulgh' and is deluging the reeion with shells
 No infantry attack by either side ha. been reported, however.
 It seems not improbable that tn' Germans soon are to ask the Ameri-

With the American Army in Picardy, June 6..-American ma Tines attacked the Germans at dawn th,s morning, gained three and one half hlometers over a four kIlometer trent and captur- ed 100 prisoners in the Chateau Thierry sector The French at tacking at the same time on the left took 16o prisoners.
 The Americans now hold all the important high ground north west of Chateau Thierry.
 The marines again attacked at five o'clock this afternoon and the battle is still raging.
 The fight started at 3:45 o'clock this morning and the Americans had attained all their opIectVes by 7:3o o'clock. The Americans have been pressing the Germans so hard that the enemy has been forced to throw three new divisions of his best troops into the line the last few days.
 The Americans are like tigers. Their commanders have all they can do 10 hold the men in check eVen the wounded are enthusi- astio and eager to fight. They are proud of their wounds. A general who visited a field dess ina station said he was elated by the sight.
 The Americans sang and whistled "Yankee Doodle" and cheered as they went over the top. They made their way swift ly through the German dead that lay strewn in No Mans Land. In addition to prisoners the RmerIcans captured ten machine guns.
 German prisoners said they had not been fed for four days owing to the deadly fire from the French and American guns which prevented the bringing up of supplies, These Germans were without helmets. They were tired Of the war. They had been told the British opposed them as their commanders were afraid to let them know it was the Americans. The Germans were cleared out of ceuilly woods also by the Americans, whose guns were numbering against the en- emy this morning. The tiercest fighting was in progress at last reports near Torcy which lies about two and a half miles east of Veuiliy.
 The French attack ths morn ina was to straiahten out the American line and it was bril- liant performance ln this they were asscted by the American rorces. American infantry clear ed out one group Of thrty-fi uhlans who ware mounted

 The Americans adva1ced in a solid pnalanx, their strong, de- ternined faces and great physi cue was an inspiration 10 their gallant French comrades, who now regard them with brotherIy affection.
 On Tueseay the Americans faced a Saxon division and on "Wednesday a guard division and tcday crack Prussian division and also battalion of famous Jseqer snarpshooters.

 Explaining his ideas for a new tax to reach actual profits made out oi the war, MT. McAdoo wrote;
 "The existing excess profits tax does not always reach war profits The rates of excess profits taxation are graduated and the maximum is sixty per cent. In Great Britain there

In entering into war contracts they take grave risks. They are called upon to make vast expenditures of capital for purposes which may prove unproductive after the war.

 The way in which higher normal rate on incomes would promote the sale of Liberty bonds, particularly to persons of big means, was explained as follows:

TWENTY -FOUR BILLIONS
 WANTED FOR WAR FUND
would Exempt Liberty Bonds From Taxiation So as to Make Them More Attractive From an Invest nent ndpoint-Expeets Bond Issues of Sixteen Billions.


Washington, June 6.-Secretary McAdoo today recommended in a let ter to Chairman Kitchen of the house ways and means committee that the new revenue bill be drawn to raise $S,000000,0O0 by taxation, one-third of the estimated $24,000.000, ,000 ex- penditures in the fiscal year 1919. ] He also recommended that wal
 profits tax be established at higl
 rate to be superimposed upon ex istlng excess profits taxes; that the normal income tax on unearned in comes be raised and that heavy tax ation be imposed on luxures. The suggestions were given in re- sponse to letter from MT. kitchfn and constituted an outline of tne to meet the nations huge war eX- penses in the future, but of preparing the way for floating of additional bil- lions of Liberty bonds.
 Increasing the rate of normal taxes on incomes from which Liberty bonos are exempt, said the secretary, will tend to make these bonds better in vestments and to permit them to compete with industrials and munic- ipal securities bearing higher rateo of interest.
 MT. McAdoo made no attempt to CT 70 N,t suggestions in revenue legislation, ,and did not intimate what articles might be classedo as "luxuries" for heavier taxation.
 He stated, however, that in many cases the present excess profit taxes do not reach real war profits, for in stance where a corporation with big erannings made directly out of the war has also a big over capitalization and there an apparently low rate of profit.
 After explaining that his estimate of s24 100000 GOO expenditures in the fiscal year starting next July 1 is based on expenditures ill the past and a calculation of the rate of increase, MT. McAdoo said it would constitute unsound financial policy to raise $20,- |000,000,00 of that sum by Notation of Liberty bonds to make up the deficit, that would follow. if there were no increase in the $4,00O.000,000 revenue obtainable under existing law. About one third of the SIP 2,50O, ,000,- 900, or S13000, 100000 expenditures this fiscal year ending June 30 will come from taxation and this ratio, he suggested should not be reduced.
 If may, without impropriety, oi-- fer a suggestion as to the revenue measure" wrote the secretary, q should recommend:
 That one-third of the cash ex- penditures to be made during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919. be provided by taxation. According to my estimates this would involve raising $S,0O0,OOO,0oO through taxa ton.
 "2-That a real war profit tax at a high rate be levied upon all war profits This tax Should be super imposed upon the existing excess profits tax in such a way that the taxpayer should be required to pay whichever tax is the greater The existing excess profits tax should he , amended in certain important par ticulars go as to remove inequalities
 "3-That there should be a sub stantial increase in the amount of normal income tax upon so-callcd unearned incomes Under existing 1 laws earned incomes above certain exemptions are taxed four per cent
