BRITISH ARTILLERY
At Sa i Time Lack of Them
Mi German Fire
ess Work
By W n Philip Simmv
( United Press staff correspondent.)
With the British Armies in the Field,
Juno 11. As a result of the important,
in fact, the decisive part played by Bri-
tisn airmen in tho success at Messines,
will be made to have American military
efforts centered on aviation.
British flying men made possible the
Messines victory- In no single engage
ment in which the British have partici
pated have the nir fighters played so
important a part. They do not only
"put out the eye" of the German artil
lery, thereby decreasing its effective
ness fully but, having driven the Ger
man flyers from the air, they hovered
over every sector of the battle front
nd gave minute directions as to where
aud when various units could and
should advance.
Their effectiveness was so great and
their daring uncovered so many new
possibilities of co-operation and offens
ive action that a much greater concen
tration on aerial construction is bound
to eventuate.
Airships Do Great Work.
It is presumed that the Germans will
also seek to profit by tho lesson.
While the allies are confident of
their ability to excel the German output
of flyers and flying machines, there is
a feeling among airmen that were the
tremendous manufacturing resources or
the United States concentrated on aorial
construction the 1918 campaign would
see Germany 's air fighters not only out--.
classed, but completely smothered.
In every phase of aerial work the Bri
tish, flyers at Messines dominated the
situation. A flock of racy little one
seaters working at an altitude of .ap
proximately 20,000 feet, kept the upper
altitudes varying from three to five
thousand feet .scouts equipped with ob
servers and wireless outfits reported
i-very phase of the developing fight and
gave ranges to within a few yards of
the battery positions, and . points at
which reserves were moving.
Worked Behind German lines.
Below these men, perfect swarms- of
heavy fighting machines equipped with
bombs and machine guns hovered a few
feet from the ground and worked dead
ly execution with bomb and machine
gun. They were especially effective
iii destroying observation posts aud va
rious staff headquarters on individual
units. One daring- flyer swooped upon
an-automobile containing five German
staff officers and a driver and with
well placed shots wiped out all six. ".'
So intense was the British barrage,
and so much more deadly than the Ger
man artillery fire that the British avia
tors, instead of working behind their
own barrage, crossed clear above it and
sought safety back of the German lines,
themselves keeping wpll beyond the line
of the approaching British curtain fire-

Victory Was Made Possible
By Work of Airships and
Their Control of the Skies
By William Philip Sinims
(United Press staff correspondent)
With the British Armies in the Field,
June 11. General Pershing and his
staff arrived in Europe at the precise
moment when they can profit best by
lessons of the Messines victory. Anil
.the outstanding lesson of that achieve
ment was. the tremendous saving in
lives to be attained through use of the
proper machinery of war.
Staff estimates today show that the
day s fighting of the Wytschaete-Meh-sines
battle cost the British less than
ten thousand men. Comparative fail
ures in somewhat similar operations
earlier in the war i-ostmany times this
figure. German prisoners put their own
losses at 35,000.
Foremost in the saving of life as
judging from the Messines battle, is
ability to kill off the other fellow
from long range in. other words con-
centratinn of artillery. But artillery
concentration isn "t unless it is eoneeu
trated accurately. And the only way of
accurately concentrating shell fire is
by aerial observotion,- .
General Plumer's victory entourages
me belief. Here, as already expressed by
American experts that the war may
be decided in the air.
Were the Main Factor
It was pointed out that in this mes
sines fighting the airmen outweighed
all other factors. The British air craft
"ranged" the enemy for the British
guns and the two together smashed the
enemy lines, leaving the infantry at the
mercy of the British awaiting tho get
away word. -
At 3:10 o clock of that morninz when
the roar of tho barrage fire readied
its highest - cresendo and the British
first leaped over the trenches. I could
hear far overhead, the thrum of the, mo-.

German Loss Heavy
From the 'perspective today of four
days after the victory, the efforts of
the Germans to turn the Messines fight
ing into a German victory is ludicru-
joua. The Teuton eomander, General Sixt
on Arrmn, is evidently trying hard
to save his job. He was literally stun
ned by the British General Plumer'a
blow and remained in dreamland for
forty hours. Some new divisions helped
him to his feet and then he tried to re
gain some of the lost ground.
How feeble those attempts were was
related by British officers "resting
up" today. They were regarded at the
time as merely the usual night raids
and the British kept alertly waiting
for the customary attacks in force.
Thev .never materialized. The raids
were squelcher by 8ir Hubert Plumer'a
artillery and machine gun fire. '
The German claims of heavy British
casualties are ridiculausly false. Few
bodies of British soldiers were to be
seen after the- fighting but the ground
was - .ittere by the Oerman ded.-- I

GAVE NEEDED THINGS
FOR CHEAP TRINKETS

While "Fraternizing Russian
Soldiers Traded Soap for
"Jack Knives
By William O Shepherd.
(United Press staff correspondent.)
Petrograd, June 11. Germany not
only had her eye to the main chance for i
peace in urging her soldiers to fratern
ize with their Russian opponents, but
she encouraged her fighting men to
"trade with 'the enemy." German sol
diers got incredible quantities o'f soap,
bread and linen from their Russian
"comrades" when jjhe .fraternisation
was in nrogreaa. ,
Orders from the war ministry forbid
ding not only fraternization, but the
tossing over to enemy trencnes or an
article except with hostile intent, re
vealed the full extent of the German
scheme today. The Teutonic soldiers
were furnished with a vast amount of
cheap cutlery, pen knives and the like,
and with these they did a, flourishing
business in trading. The scarcity of
oils in Germany has made soap a luxury,
so that this commodity was most in de
mand. The newspaper Novoe Vremya today
asserted that the trading scheme was in
full operation over a front o'f nearly
100 miles, the vest suppljcs of cheap
trinkets along this line making it per
fectly apparent that the whole idea
was conceived by the German authori
ties. A remarkable demonstration against
fraternizing by Russians occurred on

HOUSE LEADER IS
ON WARPATH AT
SENATHACTICS
i
Kitchin Declares Senate Is
Trying to Relieve Rich of
All Burdens
IF THE POOR MUST FIGHT
THE RICH MUST HELP PAY
Incomes, Excess Profits and
Luxuries Must Bear
Their Share
By Robert J. Bender.
(United Press staff correspondent.)
; Washington, June 11. The rich must
do a big "bit" in this war.
This is the mandate today of House
Leader Kitchin, who, angered at the
senate tendency to free the wealthy
from tax burdens, ig preparing to stage
a parliamentary riot in the house.
Kitchin has two sore spots about the
senate tactics first, that the poor are
getting the short end of the upper house
finance committee's deal, and second,
that tho upper house apparently is try
ing to absorb some of the lower house
prerogatives, as to originating finance
it-gitttiiun.
..If senate provisions, relieving the
rich, still stand, or if tho senate substi
tutes a measure of its own for the house
bill, Kitchin will oppose even entering
a conference with senators.
' If this fails Kitchin will kick over
the traces in conference and take his
fight back to the house floor, where his
followers will doubtless give short shift
to the poor man's taxes. .
Some of the Objections.
Some liberal senators, . too, , share
Kitchin 's idea that the rich man should
stand the brunt of the money burden,
especially as the. poor man will do the
bulk of the fighting. -
, Here are the specific things to which
the anti-wealth crowd objects:
. Deduction of levies on wealth and in
come and increase of the amounts to be
obtained by sale of bonds, thus making
tho poor man do the fighting and bear
a tax load in later years.
Tender treatment -of great, watered
corporations, who practically dodge add
ed taxos, while such corporations as are
taxed can pass it on to the ultimate
consumer the poor man.
Taxation of the poor man's necessi
ties, such as coffee, tea, cocoa, sug r
and proprietary medicines, while the
rich man's jewelry and the like go un
scathed.
These Must Bear Part.
Escape of munitions makers with
bloated incomes from taxation while
athletic goods with which the poor mnn
iV raise ins uuymcui nun.o hic ioaiu,
total 1,800,000,000 revenue from in
creased income taxes and excess profits
taxes along with at least 500,000,000
on luxuries; many of which have es
caped in the senate deal.
The first ot the fights will start in
the senate itself, probably Thursday
when the revenue bill is expected from
committee. Western senators will bat
tle to restore the houso sur tax on swol
len incomes and will try to scotch the
proposed consumption levies. It will
probably take two or three weeks to
puss the bill in the upper house-
Cherrians Will Have
An Extra Busy Week
The Cherrians will be busy people
this week: Tonight they will drill at
the armory and again Tuesday even
ing! Wednesday evening they will ap
pear, in uniform at the armory at 7
o'clock and march in a body to Will;
son park to participate in the ceremony
of the presentation of a flag and flag
nol to the city by the local lodge of
Elks. Thursday at 12 o'clock they will
meet at the Oregon Electric depot and
travel to Portlond by a special. After
arrival in Portland, just 20 minutes
ia allowed to form and take their place
in the line of march. After the parade
of all afternoon, they will report for
.duty.at the gold room of the.MuUnO'
mah .hotel for the dinner dance at 7
o'clock. The special will leave Portland
about 11 o'clock that evening or lalrr
if the Cherrians and their friends want
to dance a little longer. The Rosarian
ball will be given in Cotillion hall Fri
day evening and several Cherrians will
stay in Portland for this big event.
This is surely a busy week for Cher
rians. FIRST TO BEACH NOME

Washington, June 11. The govern

propriation of gome $500,000,000 to
$800,000,000 as the first move in de
veloping the American aeroplane sor-
vice on a grand scale. - This became
known today when tho decision was
reached by the sub-committee of tho
senato military affairs committee to
begin hearings tomorrow on the Khcp-hard-Hulbert
bill, creating a separate
aeroplane department in the govern
ment. ' .
"Before tho year is over congress
will be asked to appropriate at least
$1,000,000,000 for aero service," Rep
resentative. Hulbert said today. It la ,
tnc idea of the Council of National De- "
fenso to establish aciation stations at
intervals' aerdss the continent where
men can be trained and machine! pro
pared for service.
"It will be' impossible' for this gov
ernment to send any considctable num
ber of troops to the European battle
fields for nine months, er a year. We
can train five, thousand aviators, how-
1 ever,. in from-six weeks to two months
and have five thousand machines ready
for them t use by the last of July or
the first of -August.".' . . .
Ask for this Berries
Hulbert said that all the military au
thorities of England and France have
stated that air service must be devel
oped, on a great scale and declared
"the greatest service the United 8tate
can do in this war at the present tints
is to Bend mach nes and aviators (
France." - - .
The sub-committee to meet tomorrow
includes Senators Shepherd, Beekham,
Brady and Sutherland. It is proposed
to hear military authorities on the ad-
visabil ty of. adding a new administra
tive, department to the iiovcrumert to
direct the arco work.
"We're going to spend a billion dol
lars this year in aero work," Hulbert
said. "It a obvious with this sum t
be handled, there 'must bo a separuto
executive department."
Owing to the novelty of tne service,
leaders in congress believe thousand
of young men would offer their services
at once in this -department.
May ba Dec ding Factor
That the aeroplanes will be the "fac
tor that determine the optcome of tho
war," was expressed on many sides to
day, following careful digestion of re
cent dispatches from tho'Britit-lj front
showing how the aero service mado
late allied .victories possible.
"Put out the eyes of the enemy anil
artillery will do the rest," Hulbert
said.
Hulbert has -gone over the subject
carefully with members of the Council
of National Defense and believes ths
only wny to ctrectiveiy carry on m
gigantic work ahead is to establish a
separate department.
"Ammunition, when shot away by
the billion dollars worth, is gone for
ever," he said. "Cannons, after this:
war is over, will be turned into l''0"
shares. The aeroplane, however, wilfi"
live forever, and those s'ntions which
it is proposed to establish now to pro-
pare men tor.tiying will jaicr oeioiim

roads. "
