can i'll afford.
Re-establishment of the French

Scissors by French units are the
most important developments of the
past twenty-four hours. The Ger

Scissors and especially Rheims, with
their imm ediate environs il Won Hin
denburg is to find any reasonable de
gree of security for his new lines. As
long as General Foch can hold his
present positions on these wings. the
Germans must rest very uneasily.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-Secre
tary McAdoo today laid out a drag
net for 100000, 900 Stacker dollars.
SccQes of agents of the internal
revenue department are searching
the nation for tax dodgers and per
sons whose income tax returns were
incorrectly computed. Startling dis
closures have come with the filing oi
more than 100000 tax reports, and
evidence of fragrant disregard of tax
laws and lack of patriotism is al
hand. In thousands of returns also
there is apparent ignorance of ex
emptions and methods Of computing
incomes and profits.
Preliminary reports of revenue
agents show:
That at least 100000 persons failed
to make returns who should, and
these will net s9O,00o,0O0 in add
tional taxes.
That investigations into three
groups of trades-coal, oil and wool
ndustries-show need of applying il
many cases the penalties prescribed
by law.
That the total number of Stacker
dollars out, as computed from those
already uncovered. will reach half a
billion.
The greatest problem facing the
revenue experts is obtaining exact
figures on incomes of large corpora
tions from their subsidiaries.
In several cases it has been dis
covered that great corporations show
tax returns only half as great as they
should.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, May 31.-From every

between Rheims and Soissons,
streams of refugees today poured
down roads leading to central France
fleeing the Hun invasion.
Late last night when j returned
from the fighting line where the
homes of these people are being en-
quilted, the highways We're borderea
with the bivouacs of fugitives. For
miles upon miles the rolling country
side was all a flicker with tiny camp
fires of the refugees On their weary
march to God knows where, they tar
rjed for rest wherever night found
them. sleeping beneath vehicles; the
lucky ones who had thought to bring
little food, cooking and eating 1t
under the stars.
The streams of fleeing humanity
made a pitiful spectacle. Each road
seemed to have its own particular
caravan. and the whole scene re-
sembled the exodus Of the children
Of Israel from Egypt, as it is de-
scrjbed in the Bible. Every con-
ceivable vehicle was in use, from two
wheeled French farm wagons, hauled
by oxen to baby carriages These
OK carts are capable of transporting
the effects of an entire household
On top of plies of goods on some
of these wagons, saw groups OF old
women sitting, with babies among
them. some of the children clutching
pet goats and chickens
In line with these farm lorries we
saw buggies. decrepit cabs, smart
trans and dog carts, even automo-
biles and between them and thanking
them placed the less fortunate fam
lilies who had to march on foot, car
rying their sole possessions in wheel
barrows and baby carriages and hand
carts
And there were some folks still
poorer whose only po5srs.icn; was
what they were able to carry on
their backs. Sometimes the luggage
