WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Sharp
division began to develop in con-
gress today over the new revenue
legislation asked by Pres't Wilson
yesterday.
All factions were reconciled 70 the
necessity for staying on the job and
carrying out the presidents wishes.
Practically all were in accord with
the president as to the source of the
new taNatiOn-eXcess profits, in
comes and luXuries But wide diff
ferences made their appeara nee
over the extent Of the new levy.
Fix Ratio at 10 To 90.
Word reached the capitol from
the highest official sources that the
administration is desirous Of defin-
itely fixing the ratio of taxation to
bond issues at 40 TO 90 in financing
the war In other words. If the ma
tion spends $2O,OOO.OOO.OOO this
year, in addition 10 loans TO the al
les approximately s12,O0O,OOO,OO0
would be met by bond issues and
SIS O0o.O00.0OO would be raised by
taxation. To put such ratio into ef-
feet. a new tax levy of not less than
S4,OOO,OOO,000 would be necessary.
Many members of congress have
frequently contended for "a $3.50
basis of taxation and bonds. This
element was highly pleased with the
presidents speech The senators on
both the democratic and republican
sides who waged the stubborn fight
last summer for higher levies upon
big incomes and war profits were

dent had virtually adopted their

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN PICARDY (delayed). May a.
Germanys picked shock troops were
outlnatched at every point by the
American troops holding front line
positions here early today in a bat
tie that lasted from 10 8 o'clock.
Attacking in three sections. the Ger
mans were able TO reach the Amer
lean first line They were quickly
driven out, however, and the Amer
leans Immediately cOunteracted and
swept forward we'll within the
enemy lines.
Using hand grenades and their
bayonets, the Americans inflicted
heavy damage on the Germans. Gen.
Pershing's men held their position
in the German lines until they were
recalled by their commanders. They
brought several Germans back with
them as prisoners.
The German artillery heavily
bonn barded the American lines be-
fore the attack. The Huns also drop
ped scores Of mustard gas shells
along the American front.
To Feel Out strength
According 10 military experts. the
Germans purpose in attacking the
American lines was TO feel out the
strength OF the French and Amer
.can forces AS a result Of their
curiosity they got a severe trounc-
ing. The bombardment that pre-
ceded the raid was one OF the heav-
:est American troops have ever felt.
1T is estimated that 10000 shells
dropped within the American lines.
Five hundred picked shock troops
attacked i'm the center and were
supported on one side by force
of 10 and on the other by a force
OF 100
BOmbard Hospitals.
Previous 10 the raid the German.
batteries had hurled so many gas
and high explosive shells around
two American field hospitals in the
PiCardy battle zone that it was be-
leved TO be deliberate attem pt
on the part Of the .Teutons 10
wreck them. Both hospitals are hll-
ed with wounded and the bonn bard
ments bitterly incensed the Ameri-
can troops
SO critical did the situat ton be
come that the officials were on the
eTge OF evacuating one Of the hos
pitals despite the serious character
OF the cases.
In addition TO the bonn bardment
OF the hospital zones. the German n
aviators nightly continue 10 drop
bombs all around the hospitals and
the rear line villages where wounded
are being removed. Red Cross
nurses. Smith college girls and
American ambulance drivers are
working every night in the area
that is bombed by the German air
