Washington Expects That
 Allied Offensive Will Re- quire Men Who Can Go Over Top and Keep Going
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 6.-American troops in training at home are being es- pecially schooled now in preparation for the forward movement of the allied armies expected to follow the ultimate cruising of Germany's offensive power. It was learned today that orders have been issued to division commanders to lay greater stress upon training for open warfare and to reduce the time devoted to teaching trench specialties.
 The men are being hardened to long marches, given target practice without end and thoroughly trained to take care of themselves in the give and take of open combat.
 Ready for Quick Work
 Military observers say this change in the midst of the greatest effort of the German general staff of the entire war speaks significantly of the spirit of confidence that pervades the councils and armies of America and the allies. When many of the men now in train ing here reach France, long marches and swift maneuvering against a re- treating foe may well be the order of the day.
 Fixed Trench Work Obsolete Influential officers returning from
 
 upon greater attention to general ele- ments of warfare and less to the fine details of position fighting in fixed trench lines. These officers say the American soldier takes naturally to training of this sort and that he should be developed as highly as possible in all round soldering. leaving the de- tails of trench warfare education to be added bv brief post graduate course when he reaches France. This view found ready sympathy here, for it Is believed the old stalemate of the trench ] lines has been broken, never to be re- stored.
 Hun Leaders Outgeneraled Today's news from the front added ! to the growing conviction that General Foch has outEeneraled the Ge1nans on the Aisne front in having brought them to a halt without weakening the defenses of the channel ports. Terri tory has been yielded but no point or 1 strategic value and the Germans muss 1 try again to draw away the supporting lines in Picardy and Flanders or face | the necessity of hurling their army into the wall of man power French, British and American, that now blocks the road to the channel ports.
 American Stream Steady Officers who have come from the l front say American units pouring into l France in a steady and growing strean, despite German U-boats at both end> of the 5000 mile water haul. are ar {, irving well advanced in training for
 the business ahead of them.
 Commenting upon the high tribute paid by French and British officers tC ! the Americans it was remarked today
 that while the engagements in which the Americans have been given a chance as yet have been minor affairs approximately always the dash has been there. One officer recently back from the front pointed out that while | French and British veterans are brave beyond words, ready for battle when
 ever and wherever it may come, they
 are cooled by long years of the strug-
 gle. The Americans are craving 2
 chance to fight. for it is all new tC

Waiting for 6ig Prey

The fact that the submarines are bravine the dangers from the patrols which are converging around the area of operations, leads officials to believe that the raiders are waiting for much bigger prey than they have yet found. The place where they have operated most recently is in the lane of travel up and down the coast and through it must pass much of the important ship ping going in anr out of the Virginia capcs.
 The sinking of the Harpathian brings the total of vessels known to have been sent down on this side of the Atlantic by the raiders to 14-six steamers and eight schooners. All the vessels were American except the Eidsvold and Harpathian.

EIGHT BILLIONS
 BY TAXATION IS
 PLAN OF M'ADOO
Secretary of Treasury Has
 Outline of Taxation Idea Which Includes Big Tax
 on LuXuries and Incomes
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Secretars McAdoo today recommended in a letter to Chairman Kitchin of the house ways and means committee. that the new revenue bill be drawn to raise sS,000,- 900 by taxation, one-third of the esti- mated $24,OOO,O00 expenditures in the fiscal year 1919.
 He also recommended that a war profits tax be established at high rate to be superimposed upon existing ex- cess profits taxes: that the normal in- come tax on unearned incomes be raised, and that heavy taxation be im- posed on luxuries.
 Outline In Letter The suggestions were given in re- sponse to a letter from MT. Kitchin, and constituted an outline of the treasury's ideas not only of taxation to meet the nations expenses in the future, but in preparing the way for floating of additional billions of Liber- ty bonds. Increasing the rate of nor nal taxes on incomes, from which Lib erty bonds are exempt, said the sec- retary, will tend to make these bonds better investments and to permit them to compete with industrials and mu- nicipal securities hearing higher rates of interest.
 What Are "Luxuries" Mr. McAdoo made no attempt to specify the means of carrying out his suggestions in revenue legislation and did not intimate what articles might l be classed as ''luxuries" or heavier tax. ation. He stated. however. that in many cases the present excess profit taxes do not reach real war profits, for | instance where a corporation with big earnings made directly out of the war has also a big over capitalization and, therefore, an apparently low rate Of | profit.
 Twenty four Billion After explaining that his estimate of | S24,000,000 expenditures in the fiscal | year starting next July l, is based on expenditures in the past. and a calcu- lation of the rate of increase, Mir. Me Adoo said if would constitute unseund ] financial policy to raise 0,000, ,000, 900 | of that sum by flotation of Liberty | loans, to make up the deficit thaAwoulc l follow, if there were no increasSin the | S4,000,000,000 revenue obtainable under existing law.
 About one -thlrd or the $l2,50O,0OO DOC or sl3,000,000, 900 expenditures this fis- cal year, ending June 3, will come from taxation and this ratio, he suggested should not be reduced.
 What McAdoo Recommends
 If l may, without impropriety, of fer suggestion as to the revenue measure, wrote the secretary, q should recommend:
 "Q) That one-third of the cash ex- penditures to be made during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, be provided by taxation. According to my esti-

U-Boats Go Out to Sea

The suDmarInes opefaIlns orr IHt coast had not previously been heard from since the Norwegian steamer Eidsvold was sent down at o'clock Tuesday afternoon 40 miles off the Virginia capes. The Harpathian was sunk about 60 miles further out to sea. indicating that the underwater craft had gone further into the Alt Iantic to escape patrol boats
 The raiders apparently operated In @ comparatively small area Tuesday and Wednesday. The French steamer Radioleine was attacked off Maryland early Tuesday morning and about the same time the schooner Edward R.. Baird, Jr.. was sunk further down the coast. That afternoon the Eidsvold was sunk near the capes, the raiders having escaped sOuthWard through the paifol fleets.
