WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES ON THE MARNE, June 7. The American marines who began second attack on the German lines late yesterday captured the village of Tor-
cy and drove their way Into Bourescbes northwest of Chateau Thierry.
This morning they were holding Torcy In the face of repeated counter attacks and were pushing back the Germans through the streets of Bouresches. Virtually all their objectives in this attack were attained. The American plan did not include the taking of Torcy but the marines swept into it and drove out the Germans. The one point where the objective was not reached was on the right of the attack in the Belleau wood. The fiercest fighting is continuing here. (By Associated Press) WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES ON THE MARNE, Thursday, June 6. The second attack made today by American marines on German positions northwest of Chateau Thierry early gave promise of being as successful as this morning's assault. The marines reached all, their objectives set for the first hour within that time limit and pushed beyond them. The
Doubtful if Roosevelt Will Speak in Richmond June 12
. Theodore Roosevelt will pass through Richmond on the evening of Wednesday. June 12. enroute from Indianapolis to the east on a speaking tour. It is not known whether the former president will make -a talk in TUchiuond, but if he consents to do zo he will speak from the platform of his train. When it was learned that Roosevelt would go through Richmond,. W. W. Reller. chairman of the Wayno county council of defense, sent thef ollowlng lelegra'n to Will Hayes.chslrman of the national Republican committee: "Kindly get in touch with Roosevelt and ascertain if he will stop in Richmond for short address on night of June 12, as he " returns through Richmond after making address at Bloomington that day. Roosevelt disappointed big audience which waited hours for him in the Coliseum here a few years ago because his train was late, and he had to go on east without stopping here. He said at the time he would return and we feel this an opportune time. Put it up to him strong and wire me at our expense. I talked to Charles Jewett over phone tonight and he advised that I wire you and joins me in request." Message. From Hayes. In reply to this telegram the' fol
lowing message was received .from
early reports indicated the Germans a musical program will feature each
on the run for the time being and sur
rendering right and left to the Americans. , One of the toughest of all the objectives. Belleau wood, some four miles from Chateau Thierry, was swept by the marines without serious trouble. There seemed reason to expect German counter-attacks in strength before long, for previous to the beginning of the afternoon attack, which brgan at 5 p. m. the roads behind the German lines were filled with troops, guns and wagons, but the American artillery turned on them and created havoc.
UNION WITH HUNS IS NOT DESIRABLE
my ARo.iaten Press) AMSTERDAM, June 7. A great majority of the Lettish and Esthonlan populace do not desire a union with Germany, says the German author, Hans Verst, writing in the Berliner Tageblatt. Antagonism to the Baltic Germans Is ingrained deeply in the Esthonian and Lettish peoples, he says, and this antagonism is deepened greatly by the social gulf. .The voluntary union of the Baltic provinces with Germany cannot be obtained on a democratic basis, the writer declares, further, adding: "If the German Baltic upper classes and their new Lettish and Esthonian satellites are permitted to decide this question, then the annexation of the Baltic provinces to Germany can be maintained only so long as the countries are refused a democratic constitution." Permanent German occupation, Herr Vorst concludes, can only keep in force such annexations.
Urgent Need of Firemen for Service in Navy An urgent call has been received by Navy Recruiter Klenzle to enroll men as firemen in the navy, even at the expense of the seamen branch. The service of fireman is one of the best in the navy, and men in that rating have several advantages over the men of the seamen branch. They work shorter hours, 8 off and 4 on, in com- . parison to the deck force of 4 off and "4 on; they have better rates of pay; they are In direct line of promotion for nearly all the mechanical trades, land the work is not difficult as most nt the ships now use liquid fuel only.
ilitia Uniforms are
Expected by June 18
The Richmond militia company will appear in full uniform soon after June 18, according to reports received here Vriday by Lieut Verne Pentecost, from
the Quartermaster department at Indianapolis. The reason given for the delay in
"shipping the uniforms was that the
militia companies were to nave been filled with men meeting certain qualifications, but owing to the draft weeding out many of the militiamen, the standard was lowered. '

HARVEST DISCUSSED BY COUNTY AGENTS
J. C. Kline, Wayne county agriculture agent, went to Connersville Friday to attend a district meeting of county agents where plans for the wheat and harvesting season were discussed. Agents were present from the counties of Wayne. Blackford, Randolph, Jay, Madison, Delaware, Henry, Fayette, Union and Franklin. The meeting was held in the Connersville Chamber of Commerce rooms.. The business primarily discussed was the saving of every bit of wheat this year, and an effective means for locating, saving and rightly distributing the choicest of seed from the district's whole crop, for sowing this fall. - A letter has been addressed to Congressman Elliott' by A. T. Morrison, Fayette county agent, asking that he try to have congress make some arrangement by which the farmer who holds his wheat for a time after threshing shall be fairly compensated for doing so. No reply has as yet been received to the letter but It is believed that Mr. Elliott will look upon the matter with favor. The reason this request is made Is because the elevators will hardly be able to handle more than one-fifth of the total wheat crop at one time. Indiana faces the greatest wheat crop the state has ever known, in the opinion or farmers, elevator men and county agents throughout the state. With the price of wheat fixed by the government the farmer will have no Incentive for storing It in his own bins, and will therefore wish to get it to market as soon as possible after thrashing. Before more than 0 per cent of the wheat is taken care of the elevators will be full to capacity and some of the farmers will have to store their wheat until such time as the elevators can handle it. This will mean additional handling and expense, and there is bound to be some waste In storing. There Is also some risk to run, and the county agents at the meeting expressed the belief that congress should do something to compensate the farmers who will be compelled to store their wheat. Plans were also discussed at the Connersville meeting to secure ample
help for the farmers this year in harv-.
esting and thrashing their crops.
"Have Just talked to Roosevelt's office and learn that his engagements are such as to makeit absolutely impossible for him to leave the train on the evening of the 12th. Has to be back in the east for an engagement he cannot break." The" tone of this message gives" no indication that Roosevelt will talk in Richmond, but Reller said that he intended to make a trip to Indianapolis next Wednesday and would try to get the colonel to at least appear on the rear platform that Richmond might see him. even if he does not consent to talk.. Reller wired Hayes again Friday to see if some arrangement of this kind could not be made.
URGES BUYING OF REAL ESTATE
That now is the logical time to buy real estate because money is plentiful and wages are high, was the opinion expressed by J. W. Fieldhouse of Elkhart, president of the Indiana Real Estate board, before the members of the Richmond association at the Arlington hotel Friday. "Long after the war, money will be plentiful -and "wages high," Fieldhouse said. "If necessary people -can afford to go into debt to buy real estate because realty is due to rise in price. Anything well bought is half sold. Real estate is the last thing to go down and the last thing to go up. Wages and prices have gone up by leaps and bounds, and the logical deduction is that real estate will soon make a corresponding advance." Fieldhouse, In company with C. B. Durham of Indianapolis, has been visiting all parts of the state to become acquainted with realty conditions in general. Because of the high cost of labor, building at the present time, these men say, Is at practically a standstill, but vacant lots suitable for home building are selling well and at reasonable prices.. Fieldhouse predicted that the American soldiers, when' they return from Eurote, will be anxious to get back ine?eaceful pursuits and will be eag"ef o obtain homes. This demand will undoubtedly cause a raise In the prices, he said. He contrasted the present conditions with those that existed at the close of the Civil War. Prices of realty mounted high after the war was over, and just such an advance can be looked for at the close of the present war; according to Fieldhouse. The Richmond Real Estate association will not, at the present time, join the state association, but later on this move will probably.be made in the opinion of real estate men here.

NEW -SELECTS-CAN : ENTER NAVY NOW
The local conscription board has notified Navy Recruiting Officer Kienzle, that It cannot grant waivers for enlistment in the Navy to any men in Class 1, as the calls received for 82 men will make it necessary to take men from Class 2. Bearing this in mind, young men who registered yesterday, and who will be required to register as they become of age should grasp the opporeunity of enlisting in the Navy while they can secure releases from the local board. It Is mandatory upon the board to grant such releases as long as the men are not Included in a current quota, but at the rate they are calling men now, those who registered yesterday will be called to the colors before the end of July and possibly before that. "We are urgently In need of firemen, machinists with shop experience and auto repairmen to be trained for machinists' mates (aviation)," said Navy Recruiting Officer Klenale this morning. . "A wrong impression seems to prevail relative "to a firemen's duties consisting of very hard work, when in fact it is more a matter of skill than anything else. Firing aboard ship is no longer a matter of shoveling coal, for in fact, all our firemen have to do on most of our ships is to operate an oil valve, v "A fireman can be as clean as the deck hand. The opportunity to advance to gold stripes is unlimited, because the Navy needs firemen. The
greater number of our ships make
tneir power by burning oil. "Men without experience can row enlist as fireman third class at $36.20 per month; men with locomotive experience as fireman second class at $41.00 per month; and men with marine experience as firemen first class at $46.50 per month. From these ratings they are advanced to oilers, water tenderers, second and first class enginemen and chief machinists' mates, with pay as high as $83.00 per month. After three years' service they can take the examination for warrant machinistvwhich pays $1,500 per year and are then in line for promotion for a commission as their ability will allow them to get. "If the young men who are registered will come in and talk things over vfllile they nave opportunity of enlisting in the Navy, it will make the local boaid hustle to fill any quotas out of Class 1 men." .. ,

WHEAT CROP TO BE NEXT LARGEST EVER PRODUCED Forecast for Year's Harvest in U. S. Gives Total of 931,000,000 Bushels. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C, June 7. The second largest wheat crop in the history of the country is In prospect for this year's harvest. The department of agriculture "today forecast a total of 931,000,000 bushels of winter and spring wheat combined. That Is only 69,000,000 bushels less than the billion bushel crop" the government had hoped for and continuation of the ideal growing conditions such as have prevailed during the last month might yet produce a crop of one billion bushels. Winter wheat conditions was 83.8 per cent of normal." . Spring wheat conditions was 95.2 per cent and the acreage 22,489,000. s ' Production of oats was forecast at 1,500,000,000 bushels, the acreage 44,470,000 and the condition 93.2.

Chief Interest in the June crop report of the department of agriculture today centered in the production forecast of this year's wheat crop. That is an essential factor in the feeding of the armies of the United States and the allies, and the civilian populations. With the American people fusing the last amount of wheat possible and sending to Europe every bit they can spare, the size of this year's crop will determine the extent to which wheat will be available for home use until the 1919 harvest. The government had hoped for a billion bushel crop and while conditions for winter wheat have not been the best, a crop of that size may yet be realized. Almost ideal weather conditions have prevailed during much of the spring growing season and it was felt today's forecast would show an increase in the estimated production of winter wheat which is growing on the largest acreage ever planted to that crop. A large increase in the acreage of spring wheat, announced today for the first time was looked for and the condition of that crop was expected to be excellent. A forecast of 572,539,000 bushels of winter wheat was made last month from conditions existing May 1 when the report 6howed. the plant to be 86.4 percent of a normal. ,Last year on June 1 it was 70.9 and the crop was 418,000,000 bushels while the ten-year average condition is 80.8 and the production average 552,000,000 bushels.

Americans; Game to the Core, Have One Thought Only: "Kill Germans"
fBy Associated Press-) NEW YORK, June 7. Experiences faced under fire and difficulties faced by correspondents on the battle front in France are told In a letter Just received by The Associated Press, from one of its correspondents with the American Expeditionary forces. He also tells, of the fine morale of the American troops. "The conditions in the north, in the Oise district, were quite exciting for correspondents," he writes. "When.I was there, I was living in a town so close to the line that six inch shell3 came in one us. A number of shrapnel broke right over my bouse, breaking off the brick-like shingles. A 'Carnegie bowler (steel helmet) was my best friend. There is nothing quite so upsetting as to be writing a piece for the papers and hear that whistle of a shell coming your way, hear It break almost overhead and then hear the whistle that shrapnel makes as it shoots downward. The incessant racket, kept up day and night . Nights are Worse. "Nights it was worse; absolutely preventing sleep. There were the rumble and roar of French and German guns nearer the line, the crash' of a French heavy about a block away, the whistle of shell going out and coming in and the "c-r-r-r-ump!" of Bochs H. E. shells exploding. When you finally drop off to sleep about three in the morning the racket is not so great, but you never know whether

you will wake up in the bed where you went to sleep, a hospital bed, or whether the next thing you hear will be the 'voice of eld St. Peter telling you to wipe the mud off your shoes before entering. "Added to other troubles probably I-have a small quantity of gas in me. I got a whiff about three weeks or so ago. It wasn't enough to do any harm, aside from making me vomit once and making my eyes and throat smart. The throat is still a little sore. I did not get enough, luckily, to make me go to a hospital or even see a doctor. But I am glad I only had one small whiff instead of a couple of big ones. Full of Excitement. "But the whole business is full to the brim with excitement, bred by uncertainty, and quite the most interesting thing in the world. I would not have missed a single one of the experiences I have had for a million dollars. Any front. I think, is probably the most cheerful place on earth, although ' nobody would ever think so. The farther you get away from the lines the more gloom there is. But where shells fly and life is worth about a nickel, nothing mattersto anybody. A laugh and a smile is the thing. I suppose this Is because the American soldier goes into battle or into the front, firmly convinced that he'll only get a wound if the luck is right, and at the same time determined to forget all about it and enjoy life. I have heard more funny stories and more laughter among our men in one night than I have heard In all the rest of the time, that I have been in Europe. "And they are a great crowd, these fighters of our; whether they do their fighting on the ground or in the air. They are game to the tore, cheerful and happy, and have one thought only. That is: 'Kill Germans,' and they never overlook a chance. You can't beat an army that sails into an enemy with a grin on its face and a chuckle in its heart."

U. S. TAX IN 1919 EIGHT BILLIONS
(By Associated Press.) . " - ' WASHINGTON. June 7.- With the: recommendation of Secretary McAdoo i that the new war revenue bill be! drawn to raise one-third of the nations' expenses for next year, or $8,000,000,000 before it, the house ways! and means committe formally took up ! the drafting of the tax raising mess-' ure today b ythe Inauguration of a series of hearings.' Benjamin C. Marsh, representing an organization favoring;
increases in income and excess profit taxes, was expected to be the first witness before the committee. Framing of a bill which wll double the revenues derived from the existr
lng schedule was the task before thej committee. Such a bill would leave' approximately $16,000,000,000 to be raised in the fiscal year of 1919' through loans. The committee hav-l ing the outline submitted by Secre-1 tary McAdoo in a letter to Chairman! Kitchin, made public last sight, as aJ guide, is expected to make rapid pro-1 gress in the drawing up of the new bill. Super-imposing upon existing cash profits taxes of a new war profits tax raising of the normal income tax on unearned ir comes, and heavy taxation of luxuries, were recommended by the head of the treasury department in his letter. Explaining that the present excess prof ts taxes does not always reach war profits. Secretary McAdoo asked the committee to consider a tax to be super-imposed upon the existing tax in such a way that the tax payer should be required to pay the greater of the two taxes. The new Income tax in its increases, the secretary recommended, should follow the lines of a large increase up-1 on so-called unearned Incomes. In-! comes above certain exceptions should be taxed eight per cent, earned Incomes twelve per cent, and for unearned Incomes a higher rate than twelve per cent, should be imposed. The classification of luxuries, upon which it is proposed there shall be a heavy tax, was left to the committee by Secretary McAdoo.
