GERMANS MAKE
SLIGHT GAINS;
LOSSES HEAVY
Foe Pushed by French From
Merry Slope Into Valley
Fight Against Time.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, June 13.-The Germans
at severe cost, continue to push down
the Matzevilly. where an abundance
of small woods afford maximum pro-
lection for French machine guns and
artillery, says Reuters correspondent
at French headquarters. telegraphing
Wednesday. Further west, the French
have pursued their progress on the
Merry Plateau and have pushed the en-
envy off the eastern slope into the
valley.
This position" the correspondent
adds, ION which the enemy believed
himself firmly established forty-eight
hours ago, was of great Importance to
his advance on the centre as 1t over
looks the Matzville valley and COM
mands the junction Of the main roads
between Montdidier and Beauvraignes
through which the enemys troops and
! supplies for the Front in the river val
ley must pass. The French thus have
an observation post overlooking the
German centre, which must already
have become source of grave embar-
rassment to the enemy"

HUNS MAKE PROGRESS

PARIS, June 13.-There was plenty
of fighting yesterday but it did not af-
feet the general situation. AS the
Germans are fighting against time.
this result is distinct gain to the de-
tense.
The Germans, it is true. made slight
progress on their left toward Com
peigne. from which, at Melicocoq,
where they are only miles, but so
did the French on the other wing In
the region of Merry.
AS the nature of the ground around
Merry provides the French with excel
lent gun positions behind Wills from
which they can pound at short range
the road by which all supplies must
pass to the German center In the
thrust toward Compeigne, the French
can claim an advantage in the days
operations. for they also stopped the
German efforts south Of the Aisne
against the forest east of Villers-Cot-
terets.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Wednesday, June II,
(night) The defence of Courcelles,
on the left wing of the battle front,
by the French against attacks re-
peated day and night from June to
June II, makes a wonderful story OF
heroism. The village, which is most
important owing to it's commanding
position, was for 4S hours almost sur
rounded by the enemy, but the French
held on and when a favorable oppor-
tunity came SORTED and counter-at-
tackled. repulsing the Germans from
the vicinity.
The Germans tried every possible
ruse as well as force to take the VII
lage. The growing crops on the fer
tile lands in the vicinity were source
Of considerable trouble to the defend
crs as the Germans could creep
through them until they reached the
edge OF the village. The enemy also
covered their helmets with clumps of
grass and weeds and crawled slowly
forward. They could not, however,
shake the determination of the French
to remain in possession of the vii
lage.

NO NEED FOR ATTORNEYS TO
COLLECT SOLDIER INSURANCE

The Secretary Of the Treasury
has announced that neither the
soldiers, sailors, nor their de-
pendents or any beneliciaries un-
der the soldier and sailor insur-
ance law, need employ attorneys
or claim agents to collect the
insurance; that the employment
of such Intermediates is un-
necessary and inadvisable and a
needless expense.
The procedure for the presen-
tation and collection of insurance
claims is very simple and the
proper blanks can be secured
from the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance in Washington. The
name of the person in the service
who was killed or injured and the
relationship which he bore to the
person making the claim should
be given. If further information
or assistance is required by the
claimant the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance will gladly furnish it..
Circulars have been sent out
by claim agents and attorneys
Offering to assist persons entitled
to the benefits OF this insurance
in collecting their claims. The
pension sharks" who once
thrived and fattened under our
pension laws, are still a rank
memory in this country.
1t was hoped that when they
were legislated out of existence
we would never see their like
again. But their successors seem
to survive, and the action of
Secretary McAdoo in giving
prompt warning against these
would-be proflteers under the in
surance law will be recommended
by all.

WAR FINANCE CORPORATION

The need for the creation of
the War Finance Corporation
which is sought to be established
by the bill recently introduced in
Congress is thus briefly stated by
Secretary McAdoo:
"The Governments borrow
ings. particularly during the
period Immediately preceding and
following each Liberty Loan, has
tended to preempt the credit
facilities of the banks and often
to prevent them from giving
needed and customary help to
quasi public and private enter
prises. Many instances have been
brought to the attention of the
Secretary of the Treasury and Of
the Federal Reserve Board where
railroads, public utilities, power
plants, and other enterprises have
been prevented from obtaining
the necessary loans to enable
them to perform vital services in
connection with the war because
the bank credits ordinarily avail
able to them are being absorbed
by the Government"
Briefly, the War Finance Cor
poration is designed to enable the
banks, both national and State
banks, and trust companies to
continue to furnish essential
credits for industries and enter
prises which are necessary or
contributory to the prosecution
of the war.

THE PRESIDENT TO THE
FARMERS

President Wilson, in his mes
sage to the farmers of the United
States, of January 81, voices a
strong faith in their loyalty and
makes a strong call for their CO.
operation in winning the war.
1t has been the fashion of
many writer's to compare the
production per acre of European
farmers with that of American
farmers to the detriment of the
American. The President, how
ever, makes the assertion that the
farmers of this country are as
efficient as any other farmers in
the world, and that while they do
not produce more per acre, it is
not only not necessary that they
should do so, but perhaps it
would be bad economy for them
to attempt it. The real test is
that they do produce by two or
three times more per man per
unit of labor and capital than the
farmers of any European coun-
try; that they are more alert and
use more labor-saving devices
than any other farmers in the
world. -..ls
The response of the farmers,
says Mr.. Wilson, to the demands
of the present emergency has
been in every way remarkable,
and he quotes figures in proof
of the assertion. These achieve

FROM THE BUREAU OF INTER-
NAL REVENUE

If your income is taXable-and
it must be a modest one to escape
taxation under the War Revenue
Act of October 3, I917-don't
wait to be notified that you must
pay an income tax. The Govern
ment is not required to seek the
taxpayer. The taxpayer must
seek the Government.
The Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue., with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury, has
extended the time for filing in
come and excess profits returns
from March to April 1, 1918.
You may file your return any
time before April I, but if you
wait until April ?, you are sub
ject to a fine of not less than $40
nor more than $1,000 and an ad-
ditiOnal assessment of so per
cent of the amount of tax due.
Returns are required Of every
unmarried person-man or wO-
whose net income for the
calendar year 1917 was $1,000 or
more and of every married per-
son whose net income was $4,000
or more.
The rate of tax is at least 2
per cent on net incomes of UNI
married persons in excess of
$4,000 and on net incomes of
married persons in excess of
$1,000 Payment must be made
on or before June 10. 1918.
The estimated revenue to be
collected this year under the War
Revenue Act is S2,5OO,0OO,OOO, of
which S666,OOO,OOO is in indi-
vidual income taxes. Last year
100000 persons paid income
taxes this year it is estimated
the number will be more than
100000. If you are one of
them, remember that your dol
lars are for the support of the
war. BY promptly filing your re-
turn and promptly paying your
tax you are helping the Govern
nent to early victory. Pay your
income tax i'm the same spirit you
bought your Liberty Bond. The
proceeds are for the same pur-
lpose-to make the world safe for
democracy.

ments. ne urges, should be re-
peated and even exceeded.
The President denies that the
Government has sought to fix the
price Of foodstuffs and not sought
TO fix other prices which deter
mine the expenses Of the farmer,
stating that the Government has
successfully regulated the prices
of many materials underlying all
the interests of the country, and
such regulation was not only for
the purchases Of the Government
but for the purchases Of the pub
lie, and in fixing the prices Of
fOodstuns the Government has
sincerely tried to keep the inter-
ests of the farmers as much in
mind as the interests Of others.
Recalling the historic action Of
the farmers at Lexington, when
they fired the shot that was
heard around the world" presi-
dent Wilson says that the toll,
the intelligence, the energy, the
foresight, the sacrifices, and de-
votion of the farmers Of America
will bring to- a triumphant con-
.clusion this great last war for the
emancipation of men from the
control of arbitrary government
and the selnshness of class legis-
latiOn.
