were endcavoring to dig themselves
in at various places, especially in
front OF Monchy-Le-Preux, in which
process they suffered heavy casual
ties from artillery and machine gun
fire. 1t is rather difficult to explain
the exact situation where the attacks
center on arbitrary German field po-
sitions rather than on towns or vii
lagos. But in modern warfare the
taking Of bit of trench or a strong
point, which is marked only on war
maps, may be of far greater impor-
tance and significance than the cap

Britons Advance Mile.
Toward The southern end of the
British line northwest OF St. Quen-
tin an attack was made today over
an extended front and at some places
the British advanced more than
mile. Various important places, in
GLIDING Gouzeaucourt,, were cap-
tured. In the meantime, the Cana
dians further north fought their way
through the wood located on the
eastern front. of Vimy ridge. The
Canadians, by the way, are loud in
their praise of the Scottish troops
that fought south Of them in taking
the ridge. The Killed men everywhere
kept pace with the troops Of the
Dominion, giving invaluable assist
ance in winning the great victory. II
was estimated today that the cap.
tured guns number more than l6O.

House Will Vote on
Seven Billion War
Money Bill Today

Washington, April 13.-Agreement
was reached in the house this after
noon to close general debate at 7
o'clock tonight on the a,000,000,000
war bonds bill and then adjourn until
ii a. m. tomorrow.
Democratic Leader Kitchin said
the bill would be taken up tomorrow
under the hve-miute rule and voted
upon by 2 p. m.
Representative Focht OF Pennsyl-
vania demanded to know whether the
bond issue was for the purpose Of
terminating the war with Germany
or rehablitating the allies after the
close OF the war.
~ would say unhesitatingiy," Mr..
Kitchin replied, that it is to bring
the war to an end and not to rehab
ilitate the allies"
Great applause from both sides of
the house greeted Mr.. Kitchin when
he began his opening statement in
behalf OF the revenue measure. 1t
was interpreted as carrying double
meaning that the bill would pass
without serious objection or delay
and that all chance of Kitchin, being
deposed as majority leader for voting
against the war resolution had passed
After declaring that the measure
was most momentous" and carrying
the largest bond issue ever proposed
to any legislative body, Mr.. Kitchn
made detailed statement Of the con-
tents OF the bill.
Representative Fitzgerald, chair
man of the appropriations committee.
attacked as excessive the provision
which would authorize the expendi-
ture of one-ffth of per cent of the
S5,000,0000,000 bond issue for expenses
of the issue. He also urged a pro-
vision to prohibit the sale OF the bonds
for less than par.
"This $s000,0O0,000 does not scratch
the surface of our credit and we
should not discredit ourselves at the
outset" he said
Proposals to limit expenditures OF
the money loaned the allies caused
Mr.. Kitchin to declare, amid cheers,
that nothing should be done to in
terfere with prosecution of the war
by the allies. He also added that it
is expected virtually all of the money
would be spent in this country.

NEW RAIL WAR BILL.
FILED IN THE HOUSE
1t Proposes to Authorize Presi-
= dent to Requisition Rolling
Stock or Entire Road.
ALSO TO DRAFT EMPLOYEES

Washington, April l5-Power for
the president to order railway officials
10 operate any part Of their rolling
stock during war time as he may see
fit without actually taking over rail-
roads is given in the common carrier
regulation bill Of last session rein
troduced in amended form today by
Chairman Adamson of the house conf
merce committee. Provisions to per-
nit the president to control and op-
crate all railroads, telegraph and tele-
phone lines, to draft their employees
into the military service, to use the
military in protecting the operation
of railway lines and to- Increase the
personnel OF the Interstate Commerce
commission from seven to eleven
members are included as in the pre-
vious bill.
The section by which the president
might order the operation Of part Of
a roads rolling stock is considered
OF the greatest importance. 1t would
permit the government to obtain the
same service that it would if the line
were taken over and at the same time
prove economical in time and cost,
it is believed, Compensation for the
use of rolling stock by the govern
ment would be fixed by the Interstate
Commerce commission.
All property taken over by the pres
ident would be returned to its own
crs at the close of the war. Attempts
10 evade service ordered by the gov
crnment would be dealt with severely.
Coupled with the proposed increase
Of the personnel of the Interstate
Commerce commission would be a
provision to subdivide il with the pur-
pose OF expediting business. As now
constituted the commission finds it
impossible to keep abreast OF its work.
No sepcial provision, other than
permitting the president to use the
military to guard the operation of
trains, is made against strikes.

HARDLY PROBABLE

According to a Washington dispatch, Alaska is to be made Bone Dry" whatever that means. We venture the prediction that congress will do no such thing at least not until our legislature meets and memorialize congress to that effect. Just because our delegate wants to punish his supporters who failed to elect him. congress will not be a party to his scheme. As a matter of fact. congress was not asked 10 make Alaska dry by any authorized representative. The people who voted dry at the last election merely said to their legislators that il their wish to make Alaska dry. They never asked the dele gate to ask congress to do so. not by jug full. In view of that fact. we feel certain that congress will take no action in the matter until our legis- lature meets. and should 1t pass law to make Alaska dry. the act will go through its regular channel until 1t reaches congress. and if that law is approved by congress. Alaska shall become dry, Delegate Wickersham's desire to the contrary, notwithstanding.

FREIGHT RATES TO
Be ADJUSTED SOON
Manager McVann Gives Opt
mistic Report to Governors
of Traffic Bureau.
BACK TO OLD SCHEDULE

A complete report OF the present
status OF the Nebraska freight rates
was made at noon by z. ]. McVann,
manager of the traffic bureau OF the
Commercial club, before the newly
elected governing committee OF the
bureau at the Commercial club
rooms.
1t is believed now that an adjust
ment OF the Nebraska rates satisfac-
tory in a measure to all concerned is
soon to be accomplished. Chaos has
rcigned in Nebraska rates since the
Interstate Commerce commission
overthrow the schedule OF Nebraska
Order No. 49, During a succession
of recent conferences between rail-
road officials and traffic men repre-
senting the shippers of Nebraska
cities and towns and the Missouri
river cities across the border from
Nebraska, a tentative schedule OF
rates has been practically completed.
This will mean a compromise in some
instances, but in general aims at a
readjustment that will put rates back
as nearly as possible on the basis
they had before Order No. 10 went
into effect few years ago. 1t aims
at equalization as nearly as possible.
The conference of these rate ex-
perts with the traffic men OF the roads
is to be continued February 2 at ST..
Joseph Mo. Manager McVann Of
the traffic bureau in Omaha is to at
tend the meeting.
