 On other roads mile after mile of marching Americans splashed through the mud which came to their ankles. The horses were steaming from the work they had to do.

Paris, March 31.-On the southern hattle front the French have recap tured Ayencourt and Monchel and gained considerable ground in the re- zion of Orvillers, according to the of hcial communication from the war office tonight.
 With the French Armies in France. Saturday. March 30.-A great flood of German infantry flowed against the French lines today between Nor euil and Lassigny. It was purely battle of foot soldiers. Heavy masses of Germans were uhrled against the French time after time, only to be cast back again by counter attacks.
 This was especially the case around Lassgny, where the battle line fluc- tuated several times in the day. both sides displaying the greatest obsti- macy The French and Germans met often in hand to hand fighting is the villages of Orvillers, Plemont and Plessier de Rove, where bayonets and hand grenades did deadly work.
 The French artillery sometimes found opportunity for getting into action. It overpowered the much weaker German guns. Apparently the enemy has not been able to bring up his heavy cannon. the British and French in retiring having destroyed roads and small bridges This pre- vented the bringing up of powerful German weapons and also put an ob- stacle in the way of supplies.
 Moreuil was the scene of some of Fhe hardest fighting of the day. The 'omhatants struggled in the streets rntl one or the other succumbed.
 At one point German attacking col 'mns came under almost point blank fire of French 75's, which did terrible execution and caused a panic-stricken retreat. N
 The line of attack was entended both northward and southward during the day. Toward evening a slight Hull occurred, but renewed activity was ob served after dark, German reserves evidently having arrived.
 The ground before the French lines is covered thickly with German dead. The attackers are compelled to ad- vance under constant hail of bullets from numerous cleverly placed ma chine guns whose presence is hidden from the view of the Germans until they come to within a short distance French aviators had virtually cleared the skies of their German adversaries so that the attacking infantry was without the valuable airplane assist ance.
 The opinion is general that the bat tie will be long one, perhaps keep ing up for months, with a series of pauses between the various phases. Whether the Germans will be able to make a demonstration in another di- rection while the present struggle is progressing remains to be seen, but indications point to the utilization of great part of their available troops in the huge effort.

The Influenza Epidemic

The closing of Camp Upton to visitors
seems partial veritication of Surgeon
General Rupert Blues prediction that
the influenza epidemic would spread over
the country in the next six weeks. There
is no cause for serious alarm. Although
ten deaths are reported from Boston, the
general testimony is that the contagion
is rather mild and the mortality low. The
suddenness and severity Of the onset are
largely the cause Of the general fear of
it. 1t begins with stiff headache high
fever and a dry cough. On the second
day there is profuse perspiration, the
fever goes lower and generally disap-
pears on the third or fourth day.
In Europe the malady is generally con-
fined to the nose, throat and lungs. The
infection seems to be carried from one
person to another directly, and a crowd,
as in our subways, is an ideal field for
its transmission. This fact ought TO put
the taboo on the coughers and the
sneezers. There is no swifter way, ap-
parently, to infect the community For
that matter, this appears to be true of a
great number of common diseases Ex-
cept for the explosive cough or sneeze,
few would come near enough to the dis.
ease carriers to be contaminated.

Hearst
Keeping Good

But it is also pointed out that had Hearst
attempted to keep him in Paris the French
authorities were likely not to have regarded
his connection as necessary to war service.
At that time Hearst's papers were barred
from cable privileges England restored
the cable service last January, but the
Clemenceau government held off until re-
Gently, when Wilson, head of Hearst's In
ternational News Service, came over per-
sonally "to see what could be done" He
saw Foreign Minister Pichon and afterward
Clemenceau. He made promises which. need
less to say, will be kept if the privileges are
to be retained, for Clemenceau tolerates no
nonsense.
One of Wilson's promises was that no
HeArst propaganda would ever go over the
international wires. Immediately after re-

The Way of One
With Hearsts Money

Hearst paid him we'll, but Berteli lived
high and lost heavily in gambling at Monte
Carlo, especially during the winter OF
l9l6-17. Again, it is hinted he is still on
Hearst's payroll though not in his employ.
This is after the fashion Of John Eddy. who
departed overnight from the Hearst ser
vice. in December, 1912, when Hearst was
called before the Clapp committee in the
United States Senate to explain who OBJ
tanned the Archbold letter.
Anyhow, Bertelli's is the only case Of y
journalist serving an American or British
paper in France who has been taken into
the military service against his will. In
all other cases correspondents under mill
tary obligations have been lSpt at their
posts on the ground that they were doing
work sufficiently important.
After the Bolo trial Berteii was certainly
not particularly persona grata to the French
authorities so perhaps the Italian army
was invited to come and take him as its
own. His application for an American pass
port was made at the Paris embassy He
asserted that he was an American citizen
Inc passport was actually issued and sem
ny Washington TO Paris and was about N
oe delivered to Bertelii when the authorj-
ties learned accidentally that he was born
IN Italy and never lived in America long
enough to acquire citizenship.

The Great Adventure

Colonel Rdosevelt's message in "The
Metropolitan sounds poignant person
81 note which will stir the hearts of ALL
1t also states more clearly than any
words we can recall the exact service
which the war has rendered or is in
process of rendering to all the safe of
heart, which is to say the vast ma iorty
of us, before the war. Let us set down
his text again
Only those are fit to live who do not
fear to die, and none are fit to die who
have shrunk from the JOY of life and the
duty Of life. Both life and death are
parts Of the same Great Adventure
Never yet was worthy adventure
worthily carried through by the man who
put his personal safety first. Never yet
was country worth living in unless its
and daughters were of that stern
stuff which badc them die for it at need,
and never yet was country worth dying
for unless its sons and daughters thought
of life not as something concerned only
with the selfish evanescence Of the ndi-
vidual, but as link in the great chain of
creation and causaton, so that each per-
is seen in his true relations as an
essential part of the whole, whose life
must be made to serve the larger and
continuing life of the whole.
There is all that is needful of philoso-
ply and of religion in these sentences
They come very close to summing up
that minimum Of faith which soldiers
and civilians alike might agree on in
these days of death and destruction. "A
link in the great chain of creation and
causaton" may not hold out hope Of easy
warmth or soft reward. But it is the
testimony Of those at the front that those
closest to death have scant faith in any
life hereafter viewed in terms of reward
and selfish enjoyment. Every one is
needed Every one must count. To fail
ones comrades, ones platoon, ones reg-
ment, ones country, is to commit the
cardinal sin Of quitting.
A simple, stoical philosophy. But it
has its own splendor and magnihcence.
And men are living and dying by it in
numbers and with a devotion never sur
passed in the numbered days Of the
world
We have learned that life is, after all,
the one Great Adventure. 1t is not a
thing to husband and hoard and sift out
with a nser's hand. 1t is ones to spend,
and we have it only as we spend it. Such
is the way of life as we had forgotten in
the soft years before the war and as we
are now knowing in the fulness Of sacri-
flee.

Routing a Fetch

War is smashing the old fctiches. The
House OF Representatives has plucked
up co rage to levy an income tax on
the salaries of the President, Federal
Judges and state officers and also on
interest derived from state securities
But for the war and the pressure Of
war taxation Congress would never have
challenged the exemption long granted
to a few favored ofiiceholders and to
the owners of state and municipal bonds.
1t would have continued an illogical dis
elimination based on ancient interpre~
tations of the Federal compact, which
themselves became obsolete when the
income tax amendment to the Consti-
tuition was ratified.
The Constitution now permits Con-
gress to tax incomes 'from whatever
source derived" 1t is we'll enough for the
worshippers of a dead order to lament
an infringement on the old state rights
theory which absolves the Federal tax
ing power from respecting the majesty
incarnate in the officers of sovereign
S'"SNS' A'oI th"I iudJCotS Was icSQlly
abolished when three-fourths of the
sovereign states consented to the Six
teenth Amendment. 1t remained moral
ly intact, however, so far as Congress
was concerned, until the public was
asked to contemplate the spectacle of
an ordinary citizen with salary of
$4,000 paying $500 tax on it, while
state officer with a salary anywhere from
$4,000 to $4,000 was to get off without
paying q cent.
Injustice in the concrete was too
much for fine-spun distinctions based
on decaying homage of state rights
In a nation at war all citizens should be
Taxpayers The provisions of law which
guarantee the President and Federal
Judges against a dimnution of salary
during their terms of Office cannot pro-

DARIs, Sept. 1.-THE name Of Hearst
4 is sure to be featured in the approach
ing Humbert trial, the date Of which is still
unfxed owing to new and grave evidence.
At tho Bolo trial the relations between the
French traitor and tho American editor
were incompletely examined. Now the
revelations of Attorney General Lewis, af-
fidavits showing meetings of Boio and
Hearst with Bernstortf, make them vitality
important. France found enough evidence
to stand Bolo before the firing squad at
Vincennes without troubling about his New
York supper companion, Hearst, who in any
case could not have been considered by
French military justice.
Humbert, the French Senator, is more i'm
portant fry than Bolo Pacha who went to
America as his agent. Humbert to Bern
stocT, via Bolo, with Hearst rs the con-
Meeting link, would make the affair more
interesting even though America then
neutral and an American could receive
whom he pleased. This according to Hearst,

Outlawing the Coal Strike

What the President said, buntly and
with no mincing of words, to the Bridge
port strikers DR.. Garfield has said to
the striking anthracite coal miners in
Pennsylvania:
First-That he will not confer with
them nor take any step in their behalf
so long as they continue on strike.
Second-That they will be held per
sonally and strictly responsible
1t is an extremely difficult thing to
bring all the units in a nation of
100,0O0,000 to realize what war means;
that it means team work and that the
cooperation of every unit is absolutely
essential to success.
We cannot fight this war without
steel. If the steeworkers should fail the
men behind the guns in France would
have no munitions; they would have no
guns,
We cannot fight the war without food.
IT the farmers of the nation refuse to
plant wheat and other products unless
they have a price which thcy themselves
shall dictate, the men in the trenches
would starvc.
1t is the same with coal Coal is an
absolute essential 1t is as great an
essential as steel, or food, or powder, or
guns, or aeroplancs or tanks. Unless
there is an adequate supply of coal our
army in France viii fail and the plans
of the Allies viii fail. Listen to the
thrilling message of The supreme COM
mander of the armies in France to the
miners in Great Britain. This is the
telegram Of Marshal Foch to the meet
ing of the Miners Federation of Great
Britain a week or so ago:
Coal is the key to victory Miners
of Great Britain, help me on, on My
brothers, the miners of Great Britain, let
not q moment be lost to hasten the hour
of peace"
There is serious shortage of coal in
Great Britain, and a far more serious
shortage in France. There, we know,
the richest coal mines are still held by
the Hun. All this means q still more
painful shortage in Italy.
1t seems evident that the evil forces
which have done so much to hinder
Americas war programme have not yet
ceased their activities, and that among
the coal miners in Pennsylvania there
are sinister influences at work. Some
OF ehe loyal coal miners who have no
wish to continue the strike have APP
pealed to the government for protection
There will be no trfing with this
situation. The President in his message
to the Bridgeport strikers made that per
fectly clear

Mr. Palmer. while not stating specih-
cally that the paper referred to is a
Washington paper, nevertheless creates
that impression. SO much so that The
New York Tribune in yesterdays issue
identified the paper by name.
If there IS newspaper in Washington
that has been bought by twelve or fif-

Washington should know it, or to the
contrary.

a menace to the community.
