FRICTION SHOWN AT
FINANCIAL. CONGRESS

Moscow. Thursday. May % Thy the
associated Pressl The financial con-
gress just held at Moscow, which was
called to devise plans for financial
reorganization to be submitted to the
fifth all Russian congress of soviets,
which is to meet in Moscow June 20,
developed considerable friction.
The congress named a commission Of
four bolshevil and two social revo-
lutionists to frame the plan but the
social revolutionists thereupon quit
the congress, declaring their repre-
sentation on the commission was not
in proportion to their membership.
The congress adopted a resolution
restricting the commission to devise
a temporary scheme for taxation
pending the adoption of the larger
measures contemplated. Under this
scheme the local soviets win be per-
mitted to continue to levy contrlbu-
tons provided the provincial soviets
approve the levies.

The great German military machine
is in full motion along the twenty
five mile front in the Aisne river sec
tor between Vailly and Berry -au Bac
and, grea aly outnumbered, ne Brit-
ish and French everywhere are giving
ground.
According to the German official
communications, numerous towns and
villages in the fighting zone have been
taken by the enemy and $1,000 al
lied troops already have been made
prisoners.
At last accounts the Germans were
ondeavoring to press back the defend
ers upon the Vese river which runs
parallel with the Aisne, and at several
points had reached positions domin-
aring the ycs.c valley Ine oiteifslye

est rapidity, for the high command
evidently is well aware of the fact
that General Fochs reserves have
been reported to be coming up rapidly
TO reinforce the hard pressed British
and French who are fighting valiant
ly against the terrible odds and MAX
ing wave upon wave of the enemy
pay dearly in casualties for every foot
of ground they obtain.
Allied Front Is Intact.
Notwithstanding the rapidity of
the drive and the large number of the
enemy pressing it-some unofficial
estimates place the number of shock
troops alone at % divisions, or about
100000 picked men-the allied front
nowhere has been pierced but under
the onslaugh1s has been bent back in
perfect liason and all the time giving
battle. With such precision has the
retirement been conducted that both
the British and the French troops
have been able to carry back with
them all of their supplies and guns
or to destroy those they were not able
to handle
At present it is impossible geogra-
phically to depict the extent of tho
German gains, but it would seem evil
dent that the deepest salient they
have driven is in the region due east
of Vailly-about eight miles.
Although the Germans for the mo-
ment at least, seemingly are having
their own way on the southern part
OF the line in France, on the sectors
around Montdidier and southwest of
Ypres theyaare being screly harassed
hy the Americans and British and
French.
Americans Make History.
Tuesdays fighting in the vicinity Of
Montdidier will mark an epoch in
the war, so far as the American troops
are concerned. Here in an attack
they captured their first village, Cam
tigny-which lies northwest of Mont
didier They also took several other
detectives and held all of them in the
face of counter attacks. The Ger
mans suffered severe losses in men
killed or wounded and in addition left
behind them 200 made prisoner and
among them two officers The Amer.

GAINED GROUND ALSO
AT ANOTHER POINT
ON AMIENS FRONT

While the German stroke
is still delayed, the French
have taken the initiative on
the southern front and de
livered a telling blow south
east of Amiens. The ground
gained between Hailles and
Castel, more than a mile, was
probably more valuable than
any similar area on the en-
tire SOmme line.
Hailles is the point where
the Germans had effected a
footing three miles from the
Amiens-Paris railway.
