Teutons Expect to Place Their

From Russia - Berlin Socialist
Paper Warns Against Contention.

Amsterdam, May lS.-The Berlin
newspapers give indications that the
prospects OF new thrones in the
East for German princes has stirred
German court circles as seldom il
ever before. The socialist newspa-
per Vorwaerts says that agents
from the court are travelling hithef
and thither in efforts to make prop
aganda for or against the various
families to which the honors might
fall.
This scramble for thrones Nor-
waerts fears may endanger German
unity. 1t therefore urges, probably
in a spirit Of irony, that a comp1o-
mise be effected by filing the
thrones with Turkish princes.
IF Prussia is enlarged It com
ments, something must also be
found somewhere for Bavaria, while
Saxony Wuerttemberg ard other
states will also want something and
there are only six thrones TO dis
tribute among p dynasties.

Kansas City, Mo, May lS.-A de
murrer to all three counts of the
indictment charging Mrs. Rose Pas
tor Stokes, wife of the wealthy New
York Socialist, !. Phelps Stokes,
with violation of the espionage ac,
was overruled today by Judge Arba
S. Van Nalkenburgh in federal court
here.
Judge Van Nalkenburgh also over
ruled motion filed by Mrs. Stokes
attorney Seymour Stewman Of Chi
cago, that the government file a
bill of particulars. According to
Francis NJ. Wilson, United States
district attorney this action means
that Mrs. Stokes will go to trial
Monday on the original indictment.
Mrs. Stedman contended thai
there should be differentiation be
tween government" and admins
tration" in regard to the application
of the espionage act and held ply
sical interference with enlistments
in the army or navy is needed to
constitute violation. The law. he
said. does not contain the phrase
attempted violation"
The indictment against Mrs.
Stokes. returned several weeks ago,
was based largely, it was said, on
a signed communication published
in Kansas City paper in which she
expressed opposition TO the govern
ment.

New York. May lS.-To win the
war. the United States is deter
mined to set no restriction on the
number of men sent to France.
President Wilson declared here to-
night in speech reaffirming the
purpose of America to set no limit
on its effort.
AS many men will go overseas as
ships can be found to carry them,
the president said, after referring to
statements that have been made that
FIVE million men should go.
The United States, he said, will
not be diverted by insincere talk Of
peace from the Teutonic powers.
Their proposals, he declared, spring
from desire to have free hand in
the east.

we'll as France declared the Amer
lean executive.
Text of Speech.
The presidents speech in full
follows:
"Mr. Chairman and Fellow Coun-
lrymen: | should be very sorry to
think that Mr.. Dawson in any de-
gree curtailed his exceedingly in
teresting speech for fear that he
was postponing mine, because | am
sure you listened with the same in
tent with which | listened TO the ex-
traordinarily vivid account he gave
Of the things which he had realized
because he had come in contact
with them on the other side OF the
waters.
We compass them with our I'M
lgination; he compassed them in
his personal experience. and | am
not come here tonight to review for
YOU the work of the Red Cross; |
am not competent to do so because
| have not had the time or the op-
portunity to follow it in detail. /
have come here simply to say a few
words to YOU as to what il all
seems to me to mean-and it means
great deal.
Two Duties Face Us.
There are two duties with which
we are face to face. The first duty
is to win the war. And the second
duty that goes hand in hand with
it is 10 win it greatly and worthily.
"Of course. the first duty that
we must keep in the foreground OF
our thought until II is accomplished
is to win the war. | have heard
gentlemen say recently that We must
get five million men ready. Why
limit it TO FIVE million?
Il have asked the congress Of the
United States TO name no limit, be-
cause the congress intends. am
sure. as well all intend, that every
ship that can carry men or supplies
shall go laden upon every voyage
with every man and every sup
he can carry.

Some Relief Possible for Those
Who Haze Large Income and
Excess Profit Taxes to Pay

A communication of more than
passing interest to the banks. oil
companies and individual operators
as well as many others liable for
large income and excess prohts taxes
has just been received in Ardmore
through Congressman Carter to the
effect that there is possibility that
the treasury department nav decide
TO permit the payment OF these taxes
in installments.
This will be cheering news, as the
withdrawal of the amount of money
necessary to pay these taxes at one
time is sure TO have a depressing
effect on business.
The commissioner of internal rev
enue IS nov engaged in tabulating
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-05-19

the probable revenue receipts and
the impression is that this revenue
will run several hundred million
dollars over what was originally es-
timated. If the oversubseription to
bonds and the extra amount of taxes
are found to be sufficient 20 put the
treasury in good condition it is an
ticipated that a resolution will be
justified TO make the income and
excess profits taxes payable in in
stallInents.
The work OF tabulating the sub
scriptions to the Liberty loan and
the figures on income from revenue
IS about compelled now. so an early
announcement on this question Is
anticipated.

Berlin, May 1S.-(Via Lon

activity along the western bat
tie front has led to violent
hand-to-hand fighting, espe-
cially in the district of Las
signy, according to the official
statement issued by the war Of
flee today, which says that on
Friday 16 allied airplanes and
one captive balloon were shot
down by the Germans.
Paris, May lS.-The beginning by
the Germans of formidable OF
fensive by which they expect to
achieve final success now awaits
misty weather conditions. The
commander-in chief. the French
trops and their allies are waiting
for the shock with the greatest CON
fidence.
The Petit Parisien says the enemy
has massed nearly all his best
troops on the attacking front. Be
tween the Belgian coast and the
Disc, it states, l40 divisions (about
100000 mem have been distribut-
ed 81 divisions on the front line,
or for direct support, and the re-
mainder behind the lines to be used
for augmenting the push at the
principal point of attack.
This newspaper says the German
plan is to threaten Amiens. cut the
railroad between that point and
Glarmont, and break up the allied
forces whatever the cost may be.

by the Austrians to recapture
Mont Corno has failed, according
to the official communication from

In my own mind | am convinced
that not a hundred years OF peace

than that. if possible, il is knitting

every point of vantage showing that
they are seeking selfish aggrandize-
