WASHINGTON, May U-Just as
the German cannon were laundering
their herald OF the renewed offensive
on the western battle front, President
Wilson today AegesIed .spsSpectediy BE-
fore congress ADD demanded that, laying
political considerations, and all others
aside, II remain In session until ii has
enacted new war tax laws to finance
the growing cost OF the war and prepare
the country for the burden il must bear.
At the conclusion of his prepared ad-
dress, the president pausing, laid MS
hand over his manuscript and added an
other precedent breaker to the long list
he has established in his dealings with
congress. He addressed the assemblage
extemporaneously, speaking earnestly
and forcefully while the auditors sat in
a rapt and surprised silence.
May | add this word, gentlemen
said he Just as was leaving the
White House | was told that the ex-
pected drive on the western front had
apparently begun. You can realize how
that solemnized my feelings as came
to you, and how il seemed 10 strengthen
the purpose which | have tried to ex-
press in these lines.
81 have admired the work OF this ses-
sion. The way in which the two houses
Of congress have co-operated with the
executive has been generous and ad-
mirable and il is not in any spirit Of
suggesting duty neglected, but only to
remind you of the common cause and
the common obligations that have ven
tured to come TO You today.
"Poiitics Il Adjourned"
The president called upon congress
to eliminate politics from the considera-
tion. Politics, he said, is adjourned" i"
The principal increases in taxation, the
president said, should be on incomes,
war profits and luxuries.
II would be manifestly unfair, the
president said, to wait until 1919 be
fore determining what the new taxes
would be The presidents address
was comparatively brief, taking less
than fifteen minutes for delivery.
Warns Against Lobbying.
In specific terms, the president gave
a distinct warning against lobbying in
connection with the new bill,
There 10 indisputsble evidence Of
profiteering at present, the presi-
dent said, and he declared Il must
be reached by the new legislation.
"Profiteering that cannot be got
at by restraints of conscience" said
the president, "esn be got at by tar
alton"
There need be no hesitsncy in taxing
the country" the president told con
gress, If il were taxed Justly" He
appealed TO congress to approach the
great task without selfishness or fear
Of political consequences.
AN intense and pitiless light beats
upon every man and every action in the
tragic part of war that is now upon
the stage" the president declared
Appeals for Free Hand.
The president concluded with an ap-
peal to congress to do its work un-
grudingly and said he could not guar
antee proper administration OF the
treasury unless the question were set
tied at once.

of all the peoples in the conflict dur
ing the past year. Hunger has pinched
them with special severity, largely be-
cause of their lack Of capacity for or.
ganlzat OIL. Fearful Of collapse Ill the
Hapsburg empire, the German govern
ment has appeased the hunger rioters
by sending them food frcm Germany IS
own scanty store. This measure, how
ever, can only be temporary. When
Germany no longer is able to send grain
to Vienna, there will come an intensi-

Russia's Plight
Russia's 5 plight during the fourth
course between the two usual chan
nels Of revolution. There has been no
such series of excesses that marked the
reign of terror during the French rev.
olution, nor have events followed the
orderly precedent of the English revo-
luton. Violence has prevailed among
tthe Russians, but their principal hand
leap has not been tendency toward
crime. 1t has been a waive faith in
formulas coupled with childlike lack
of education. Nevertheless, the revo
luton, however faulty, gives fairer
hope for the future of Russia than a
continuation of the reign of the men
tally incompetent Romanoffs.
Since the separate peace with the
central powers was signed by the boil
sheviki, suggestions have been made
for policy Of revenge toward Russia
on the part of the allies. Wiser advice
however, has prevailed. No scheme Of
Intervention in Russia has been pro
posed that has seemed feasible anC
Iwithout danger to the cause of demoe
racy.
Russian Sacrifices
If democracy's ideals are sound, th'
Germans cannot crush them in Rus
sia. The Russians are accepting terri
Ibe sacrifices rather than permit
Germanized organization to restore nor
Imal conditions of living. The older de
lmocracies of the west should remem
