depth of two and one-halfmiles, to

of small arms.

captured by marines who had seen
service in the island of Hayti. Some
of these men rushed to the very
muzzels of the guns and bayonetted
the astonished gunners and captured
everything in sight without any
seeming effort. The Americana
fought like Indians taking advan
tage of trees, bunches of hivh
brass or any other object that of
fered shelter from the enemy bul
lets, until they reached a position
close up, when they would rush
forth, bayonet the gunners and thain
the guns upon the fleeing enemy.

tle front, to the Northwest of Cha

By order of the City Health Officer
Dr Neuman
the enemy defenses and by the un
expectedness of their continued ad
vance are inflicting very heavy
losses on the Germans. The Ger
man troops seem very much surprised
to see the Americans troops taking
part in these new drives as they
had been led to believe that there
were no Americans in the vicinity
of these positions. The American
mode of attack has greatly puzzled
tho Germans and is ' forcing them
to fight at a great disadvantage.
The French troops have also ad
vanced to the South of the river
Ourcq and have succeeded in re
capturing a number of important
positons recently lost to the enemy.
A heavy cannonading has devel
oped along the Aisne river sector
and an enemy attack is momen
tarily expected. More French re
serves are arriving on this sector
and positions are jft’catly strength
ened.

' WASHINGTON, D. C. June 8—
The Senate today adopted the reso
lution introduced by Senator Borah
of Idaho, calling upon the Secre
tary of thiei Treasury , Wm McAdoo
to furnish Congress with all avail
able evidence, in his possession, per
taining to profiteering.
President Wilson, in his speech
of last week, roundly criticised the
profiteers and the resolution re
quests that the Secretary of the
Treasury ill his report to Congress
furnish all evidence referred to by
the President and also asks for the
names and incomes of all corpora
tions earning over fifteen per cent
last year and the net earnings for
nineteen-aixteen. Borah in his res
olution calls for a full investiga
tion of the methods of the profiteers
and it is believed that the informa
tion thus gained will undoubtedly
fe used by the senate when the new
War Profits Tax Measure comes up.
for consideration.
WjASHINGTON, D. C. June 8—
Representative Charles H. Dillon of
South Dakota, today introduced a
bill to limit the rights of the United
States Supreme Court to declare
laws unconstitutional. The bill, if
passed, will make it necessary here
after for three-fourths of the Justices,
to rulo a law unconstitutional and.
not as nc w where one member eas*
override the opinion of 110,000,000
people. The measure introduced
by Congressman Diilon is a direct
result of the Supreme Court’s deci
sion in holdinug the Child Labor
Law ' unconstitu tional.
((Wra would like to know, if any
ono can inform us, if the Supreme
Court cannot hald any measure curb

PRESIDENT WILL INTERCEDE
THREATENED T.&T. STRIKE
WASHINGTON, D. C. June 8—
In view of the threatened tie-up of
all telegraph lines throughout the
country by the Telegraphers Alnion
as a result of the refusal of Presi
dent Carleton to even recognize the
Government representatives, Presi
dnt Wilson today moved to prevent
the trouble crippling the nation. The
President, firmly believing that un
less the present unrest of Labor
throughout the country is quieted
and immediate steps taken to ad
just the Labor difficulties, the war
preparations of the nation will be
halted, has. called the Secretary of
Labor Wilson to the White Hous
for a conference.
The two most important of the
Labor trouble^ at tile present time
are the threatened strike of the
Telegraphers and the street railway
strikes which in some cities have
turied into general strikes. Labor Is
united as never before and insists
on being heard and granted its
rights.
The President has determined
that there shall be no interruption
of war preparations and it is under
stood that pressure will immediately
be brought to bear upon President
Careton of the Western Union Tele
graph Company, whose arbitrary ac
tion in refusing to recognize the
jurisdiction of the War Labor Beard
has brought about this crisis. Cade
ton will very probably be summon
ed by tho President and if h' wilt
not listen to reason the Govern
ment will in all probability take
control of the telegraph systems.
((We cannot understand why any'
man, simply because he represents.
“Bigt Business,” should have, any
more consideration shown him when
he sets his interests above tL. of
I the Government while a state of
I war exists, than another. If it wero
an ordinary working man who did
I this, these parasites, whose fiery
patriotism has not made them ad
: verse to making excessive and dls
| honorable profits out of their coun
! try and their countrymen, would im
ni'liately make the welkin ring
! with their howls to have him .thrown
^ into prison for life or stood up
j against a wall and shot as a trai
! ;or.' Ed.
i “JACKSONVILLE, Fla. June 8—
I The American steamer Arapahoe ar
