Washington, May 2'.--Just as the
German cannon were laundering their
herald of the renewed offensive on the
western battle front, President wilson
Today appeared unexpectedly before
congress and demanded that, laying
political considerations and all others
aside, it remain in session until 1t mas
enacted new war tax laws to finance
the growing cost of the war and pre-
pare the country for the burden IT
must bear.
At the conclusion Of his prepared
address, the president, pausinS, lald
his hand over his manuscript and
added another precedent breaker to
the long list he has established, in his
dealings with congress. lie addressed
the assemblage extemporaneously,
speaking earnestly and forcefully
while his auditors sat in a rapt and
surprised silence.
May | add this word, gentlemen,
said he Just as l was leaving the
White House | was told that the ex-
nected drive on the western front had
apparently begun. You can realize
how that solemnized my feeling as |
,ame to you, and how it seemed to
strengthen the purpose which | have
tried to express in these lines.
Praises Work of Congress.
81 have admired the work of this
session The way in which the two
,ouses of congress have co-operated
with the executive has been generous
and admirable and it is not in any
spirit of suggesting duty neglected but
only to remind you Of the common
,ause and the common obligations
that have ventured TO come to you
today.
The president was greeted with
cheers when in his speech he intimat-
ed almost at the outset that new rev.
enue should be drawn from war prof
it's, incomes and luxuries.
The crowded galleries and the
house and senate rose and cheered
loudly when he declared that hun
dreds of thousands of American
troops in the field and in ships are
crowding to the front with regiment
after regiment to join them. until
the enemy shall be beaten and
brought to a reckoning with man

His hearers lauded his declaration

for any necessary sacrifice.
