HUNS OPEN BIG
DRIVE FOR PARIS
DRIVE BY REORGANIZED
GERMAN ARMY.
One Attack on the Line from voorme.
zeeIe to Locre, Southwest of Ypres;
the Other on Thirty-five Mile
Front in Ainse Sector.

London.-Germany's great offensive
on the western front has been re-
sumed.
With only brief artillery preparation,
two blows have been struck by the
Teuton armies, which have been reor-
ganized since disastrous losses were
inflicted on them by the French and
British during the Picardy and Elan
ders battles in March and April.
One attack was on. the line from
Voormezeele to Locre, southwest of
Ypres; the other, on thirty-hve mile
front, from Pinon, north of scissors,
to Rheims This is known as the
Aisne sector.
In Flanders the Germans have
gained virtually nothing, but, further
south, the Berlin official statement
claims that the German crown princes
troops have carried the whole ridge of
the Chemin-des-D Danes, and now are
fighting on the Aisne river.
Fearful Fighting.
The attack in Flanders is against
positions taken by the French May 20,
when they recaptured BruloOse and
Locre, and strengthened their line on
each side of hill A. which they had
retaken few days before.
One the Aisne front, the present
battle recalls the fearful. fighting of
last summer along the Chemin-des-
Danes, where, for weeks, the German
crown prince hurled his men against
the French positions, only to see them
crushed and beaten. Last year seven
ty-five divisions were engaged in the
German attacks along this line.
The attack here is really in the ma
ture of a notwithstanding operation.
1t is being launched from Laon as a
center, and is aimed at the elbow in
the line formed during the fighting in
Pieardy in March and April. Here
however, the Germans must face per-
manent works, which have been oc-
cupied by the French for long periods,
and which can be defended easily.
Allied Command Forewarned.
Evidence that the allied supreme
command was forewarned of the at
tack may be found in the fact that
British troops are fighting there. 1t
had been believed that the British
forces did not hold positions much
south of the Somme. east of Amiens.
The German crown prince is in COM
mand in this sector, and this may
indicate serious effort to break the
allied line. Crown Prince Rupprecht of
of Bavaria is the nominal commander
in Artois and Pitardy, and the German
crown prince, for dynastic reasons, will
strive to Guido whatever success was
attained by his colleague further north.
1t is probable that American troops
are engaged in the fighting in both
the battles on the French front.

RUSSIANS HATE JAPANESE.
Would Not Stand for Entry of Jap
anese Troops Into Siberia.

WashingtOn.-Mem of the staff
of Ambassador Francis have arrived
in Washington and are making re-
ports to President Wilson and to the
state department discouraging mill
tary intervention in Russia, particu-
larry if that Intervention must be car
ried out by japanese. These men be-
lieve that Japan's intentions are the
best in the world and her anxiety to
interfere in Russia is based on a
genuinely disinterested wish to serve
the great allied cause.
But, they say, Japan is more dis
liked In Russia than any other nation
in the world. The United States is the
best liked of the allied nations.
Ii intervention cannot be carried out
by the United States they believe
there might better be none. If Japan
goes into Siberia, they say it will i'm
mediately drive all Russia into the
arms of Germany and thousands of
Russian men into the German armies.

ASKS CONGRESS TO
PROVIDE REVENUE
PRESIDENT WILSON URGES THAT
BURDEN OF TAXATION BE
LAID AT ONCE.
Declares That the Only Way to otop'
Profiteerng is to Tax Those
Whose Conscience Can Not
be Reached.

Washington-Pre Wilson on
Nav 81 ended discussion over whether
congress shall remain in session thls
summer to enact new revenue leglsia-
ton. by appearing before the mousse
and senate, in joint session, ana Calling
upon members to put aside ponies anu
all other considerations to provide
money for growing war expenses and
to advise the country In advance Oh
the tax burdens it must meet.
As the president was leaving for the
capitol, word came that the German
drive against the west front had beeh
renewed. He gave his visit drainatlc
touch by announcing this news as he
concluded his prepared speech, saying
It strengthened the purpose he had
tried to express.
The demand that with the war at It's
'peak and crisis congress do lts
duty at home, as the soldiers are do
ing their duty in the trenches over
seas, brought instant acquiescence.
There still was reluctance in some
quarters to believe immediate legisla-
ton imperative, but plans for midsum-
mer adjournment were abandoned ana
both Democratic and Republican lead
ers expressed their determination to
go at the task of passing a revenue Dill
with will.
A suggestion by the president that
most of the new taxes probably would
fall upon incomes, excess proiits ana
luXuries, and that profiteers could be
reached in this way, was greeted with
cheers, and congressional leaders said
later that the money needed would
come from those sources.
To initiate the bill, Ii was announced
that public hearings would be begun
early in June by the house ways and
means committee, TO be followed by
cooperation in its drafting with the
senate finance committee. Presentation
of the measure to the house in July
was regarded as assured.
At the conclusion of his prepared adj
dress, the president, pausing. laid his
hand over his manuscript and added
another precedent-breaker to the long

semblage eXtemporaneOusly, speaking
earnestly and forcefully, while his au-
ditors sat in rapt and surprised ST.

said he. Just as | was leaving the
White House | was told that the eX-
pected drive on the western front had
apparently begun. You can realize
how that solemnized my feeling as |
came to you, and how II seemed to
strengthen the purpose which | have
tried to express in these lines.
81 have admired the work OF this
session. The way in which the two
houses of congress have co-operated
with the executive has been generous
aid and admirable, and it is not in
any spirit of suggesting duty neglect
ed, but only to remind you of the com
mon cause"
