Jerusalem is a holy city Of the
Moslems as well as the Holy City of
Christians. Having been in Islam 5
possession, except for brief intervals,
since the sixth century. it has been
closed to Christian pilgrims except
under restrictions and has been vir-

under Christian protection. research

Of the early years OF Christianity and
perhaps, even of the life and char
acter Of its founder NAV be won.
Jerusalem, moreover. is a very an
cient city, older than Rome or Ath-
ems, and if younger than Egyptian

and Nineveh. So that from ii much
may be learned Of the civilization

quests of what we now call Palestine. |
Excavation at Mycenae in the Pc

perhaps to 5000 B. c. A vast prehis-

IDEAS MAY UNDERGO CHANGE
South Ameriean's Impression as TO
Qualities OF American Soldiers 10
Subject to Revision.

How the first American soldiers 10
arrive in Paris impressed the corre-
spondent of certain South Ameri-
can newspaper is indicated by the
following excerpt from Inter-Amer-
lea.
Large. slow, phlegmatie, the
Americans filed through the streets
of the city [ Paris without being az
fected in the least by the parade.
They are dressed rather as cow
bows than as soldiers, and they SAVIOR
of the far West. Among them there
is no display of gold lace, no fine
trimmings, and barely an oak leaf,
an eagle, or star shows on their
collars or shoulders to indicate their
rank. They are strong and healthy,
and they are not warlike.
They give the impression Of be-
ing good, frank, well-trained boys;
and they viii get themselves killed
since this is what they came for
and they will die in the Dantesque
waste of No Mans Land with great
valor. while seeking with their al
most infantile blue eyes the maternal
bosom of their native heavens and
the soft horizon Of the prairies.

Fish-on-F friday Habit

We Americans do not eat enough
fish, and the fisheries bureau saws il
is largely because Of the fish-On-fri-
day habit. The average housewife.
having acquired the habit. will not
buy fish ON any other day Of the
week.
This means that the individual
consumer must buy when everybody
else Is buying. thus enhancing the
price. And the dealer must obtain
from one DAYS sales enough to cover
six DAYS expenses. This also makes
prices 20 up.

U.BOATS ACTIVE
 OFF J. 5. COAST
Torpedo British Steamer 100 Miles Out From the Virginia COast-Baker Plans to Estab- fish Aircraft Stations.

Washington, June 6.-Sinking of the British steamship Harpathian, 100 miles off the Virginia Capes, at 9 o'clock yesterday morning by Ger man submarine, was announced to- night at the navy department. The crew was rescued by the steamer Pal mer, which arrived late today in Chesapeake bay.
 The submarine used a torpedo. One member of the British crew was in- jured, The Harpathian was freight CT of 2,S00 net tons.
 Confidence in the measures taken by the navy to deal with submarine raiders was expressed in the Senate today by spokesmen of both parties. Senator Lewis of Illinois, Democratic whip, and Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts, Republican, joined in, de- claring that the navy is on the alert and ready for the enemy. These ex- pressions came in the midst of sharp debate precipitated by the read ing by Senator Brandegee of 'Connec- ticut of newspaper editorial criti- cising the navy department for not warning shipping of the presence of the submarines.
 Senators Lewis and Lodge agreed there was no complaint against the navy, though they had very different theories as to what drew the sub- marines to American shores. Senator Lewis said the attack was invited by false statements in Congress and else where regarding the nations unpre- paredness; while the Massachusetts senator suggested that "loose brags and boasts" about the number of American troops transported overseas had contributed.
 While this discussion was in pro- gress a request for a $16,000,000 ap- propriation for 16 new balloon and airplane stations along the Atlantic and gulf coasts to supplement the army's preparations for repelling sub marine or air attacks. Equipment for the stations is said to be available and they probably will be established within a few weeks after the money is provided

AMERICANS WIN
 FIGHT NEAR TH|ERRY
Marines Advance 2 1-2 Miles, Take Important High Ground Activity Causes Germans to Bring Up Many Reserves.

Although the latest German official communication announces that the ,tuation on the battle front is un- changed. there has been a change on me of the most important sectors in p;cardv. And American marines were responsible for it.
 Attacking on a front of about two and one-half miles in fight that be- can Thursday at daybreak, the ma rnes in four hours, drove back the enemy over distance of two and one- Onarter miles and occupied all the inn uOrtant high ground northwest of Chateau Thierry, which, in previous dght. the American machine gunners had turned into shambles by the accuracy 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 fighting was in progress for this important sector, which commands the Marne at that

EIGHT BILLION BY
 TAXATION IN 1919
McAdOO Would Greatly Increase Levies on Big Incomes and LuXuries-TO Spend Twenty four Billions.

Washington, June G. Secretary McAdoo today recommended in let ter to Chairman Kitchin of the House ways and means committee that the new revenue bill be drawn to raise $S,000,000 by taxation, one-third of the estimated ,0OO,00O,000 ex- penditures in the fiscal year 1919.
 He also recommended that war profits tax be established at high rate, to be superimposed upon existing ex- cess profits taxes; that the normal in come tax on unearned incomes be raised, and that heavy taxation be inn posed on luxuries.
 The suggestions were made in re- sponse to letter from MT. Kitchin, and constituted an outline of the treasury's ideas, not only of taxation to meet the nations ruge war ex- penses in the future, but of prepar- ing the way for floating additional billions of Liberty Bonds. Increasing the rate of normal taxes on incomes from which Liberty Bonds are exempt said the secretary, will tend to make these bonds better investments and to permit them to compete with indus trial and municipal securities bearing higher rates of interest.
 MT. McAdoo made no attempt to specify the means of carrying out his suggestions in revenue legislation and did not intimate what articles might be classed as 'luxuries" for heavier taxation. He said, however, that in many cases the present excess profit taxes do not reach real war profits, for instance, where a corpora tion with big earnings made directly out of the war has also big over capitalization and therefore an ap- parently low rate of profit.

BATTLE SITUATION
 NOW SATISFACTORY
Although Paris Papers Expect Renewal of German Attack SOOn-An0ther Act of Ger man Treachery.

Paris, June 6.-The battle situation IS frankly satisfactory, says a Havas agency review today, and the enemy, temporarily at least, is not likely to make attacks all along the front be- tween Rheims and the Disc. Local at tempts seem to indicate that the Ger mans have renounced, for the moment their purpose to win decision on the battlefield picked out by their com manders on May 27.
 Nevertheless, the newspapers do not believe that the German offensive is ended. The Petit Parisien thinks that General Ludendorff is preparing a blow which he expects vii have pro- digious results.
 French experts now anticipate that the Germans will attempt to break through somewhere else, possibly be- tween Noyon and Montdidier. with the object of converging their ad- vance toward Paris, although it is not impossible that the enemy will attack in a totally different sector. This would be in accordance with the Ger man strategy of pressing an attack in one sector until the momentum is ex- hausted and then turning sharply of to strike elsewhere. The proximity of Paris in this case, however, may indicate a departure from these tactics.
 The Petit Parisien records a new manifestation of German treachery In the Domeramey section yesterday says the newspaper, British airplane was brought down by a "Spad" ma. chine carrying French brocade.
 "The close range and the elevation at which this happened" says the Petit Parisien, make it impossible to doubt that it was a case of a Ger man airman securing a cheap victory by using undeterred the emblems of a machine which had been captured"

prat of the front where the battle line swings eastward toward Rheims. The marines took 100 Germans prisoner Tn the early encounter, while the French troops, on their left, also ganied an anvantage over the enemy and made 160 of his men captives.
 So hard pressed have the Germans been by the attacks of the Americans in the Chateau Thierry sector during the last few days that they have been compelled strongly to reinforce their front, using three divisions of picked troops in an attempt to hold back the Americans. Thus far, however, their efforts have been unavailing.

DRIVE AGAINST NEW PORTIONS OF WEST
 FRONT Is EXPECTED
U. s. Officials Regard it as Possible That Blow May Fall Against Americans North west of Foul.

Washington, June 6.-Demonstra- tions in force against new portions of the western front are looked for by the war department officials, now that the third drive has been slowed down to struggle for Improvement of positions west and south of Soissons. It is regarded as entirely possible that increased activity in front of the American sector northwest of Foul may indicate an impending blow there.
 The conclusion is based on the opin- ion strongly held by some officers that the drive was designed to draw off reserves from the Amiens and Elan ders sectors. An attack on the Amer ican sector in such strength as to drive the line back, it is argued, might hamper General Foch in his employ emnt of American units to support his lines in Picardy, Flanders and the Aisne regions.
 Officers regard the fact that no new blow has been struck at the Amiens front as conclusive evidence that Gen. eral Foch outguessed his opponents when he determined to let the Aisne front stand on it's own strength, even at the cost of much territory overrun by the enemy, until he could assemble additional units from scattered points along the line beyond Rheims. The very success of the Germans in press ing on to the banks of the Marne, it was argued, meant that Foch was re- solved not to weaken his lines to the north.
 Another indication that the French strategists have outguessed the Ger man general staff is seen in the fact that theo riginal strength used by the crown prince in the Aisne drive was put at 25 divisions He has since employed in this theater double that number Officers point to this fact as evidence that the German hope was that Foch would bring up his northern reserves to hold the Aisne front while the German reserve was held ready tS take instant advantage of it's shorter line to sweep down again on the Amiens sector.
 The territory yielded by the French in retiring to the Marne, eventually absorbed most of this German stra- tegic reserve and the plan failed. Observers here believe the great battle is certain to be fought out on the original sector selected by the Germans for their supreme effort. They believe also that General Foch will not be in position to wrest the initiative from the enemy until Amer ican strength has become available to him in great force. They do not look for any extensive counter offensive for months to come, possibly not be- fore fall, if even then.
 The critical battle, the final German effort to break through to the channel coast, will not be fought, officers be- lieve, before General Foch finds him. self able to turn the tables on the enemy and to begin what they are certain will be a march to Berlin if complete victory can not be won short of that goal.
