of sweeping importance by the
French army Of the Oise and the
winning Of valuable successes for
the British arms were the out
standing features Of the conflict
on the Western front yesterday.
The French advance is a part Of
the fanking movement being con-
Quoted to the north of Fere and
extends for several miles from the
junction of the Serree and Oise
Rivers along the Oise. The heav-
lest British fighting was between
St Quentin and Cambria on the
Canal du Nord and resulted in
some advance and a material
strengthening Of position. To the
northwest of St. Quentin counter
attacks were repulsed and the Bri-
tish tenure of the line was
strengthened.
The French drive started in the
vicinity Of Nendeuil, nine miles
south Of st. Quentin and between
three and four miles north of Fere
and appears to be part of the en-
circllng movement for the reduc-
tion of Cambria. Nendhuil was
taken and part of the French
forces proceed on to the OiSe be-
tween \ cndhuil and Tracy while
other forces swept on to the north

"Saue the Waste and Win the War"
NEW WAR TAXES.

DRESIDENT WILSON'S appeal to congress tor ne"
tax legislation virtually means its enactment Con-
xr,ss has been prompt in answering the presidents re-
quests since war began and there is no reason to think 1t
will hesitate now The president is right in his statement
that the consideration which dominates all others now IS
winning the war and patriot would withhold the money
essential to make victory certain There is room however
10 question the wisdom of the policy of raising OF this
money BY taxation than being done In collecting
s4OOOOOOOO as under the present law the United States

taxes than this country did in any preceding war or
than any other country has done in this war or any other
Higher taxes will almost inevitably higher prices,
higher wages and hadshps for those who don't get them
and more difficult readjustment after the war. AS more
money needed and will be needed it might better
be raised by additional loans.

been in the form of loans allies and at higher
interest than the American bonds pay and this can hardly
be charged to our expenses Money put into ships will

But the higher taxes are fairly certain because the
president has asked them and the legislation should
help some by correcting the obvious defects in the present
measure If it also provides special profit tax
for war industries it will also Justify itself to

RATES AND THE PEOPLE.

MORE SMOKES FOR SOLDIERS.

THERE still chance to add to the JOY OF some soldier

thought when the government cornered the visible and
future supply Of Bull Durham and several other cool sweet

COAL PREPAREDNESS.

WHEN the mercury is hitting the high places and collars
w willing under the suns bright rays, it is painful
to write OF coal and equally trying read of such topic
But it is duty which cannot be Shrked 1t is always
May, nor June July and August Cold coming
later and preparedness is important Next fall when crops
moving to market there will be less motive power and
other rolling stock available for hauling coal and
will shiver needlessy for neglect this time Besides by
buying now the output of the mines will be increased and
there will be coal available for all purposes 1t is
quite likely the maximum output will be needed partcu-
arly another winter like last winter should put the
country in cold storage
Another reason why coal should be summer purchase
here is pointed by H Johnson county fuel chairman
when he says local dealers lack facilities for keeping large
quantities in storage, and might estate risk extensive
storage il they had room A mild winter such as is
possible but improbable in this latitude would leave them
with surplus their hands The gas service is quite
likely to be bad usual next winter and the colder
gets the it will be, therefore there is wisdom in
laying in coal supply sufficient for all probable emer-
gencies
Then there is the lower price for coal delivered in the
summer months, and the possibility OF securing a better
grade of coal at this time Good sense as we'll as patriot
should prompt early purchases but do forget that
patriotism also has bearing To maintain the efficiency
of the country is essential the of the war and
this preparedness in the matter of fuel is tfng factor
well the comfort and the ll-being of the peorS
Don't put off your preparedness until stirred to action by
blizzard or cold wave signal That may be too late.
