GREATEST BATTLE
 OF WAR IS RAGING
First Open Fighting Since
 Marne May Decide Issue.

The first great open battle since the Marne is raging in the west between Britons and Teutons in front of the now famous "Wotan line" and farther sOuthward as far as St. Quentin.
 Trenches and dugouts are abandoned, and old fashioned warfare has been re vived. It is now a man to man fight. Europe looks upon the present battle as the decisive military clash of the great conflict
 All along the front the British claim ed victories. Where they did not smash ahead they repulsed Teuton onslaughts, holding firmly every inch of ground gained since the "big push" began two weeks ago.
 The end of the great battle is not yet in sight. The Teutons have hurled into the fray legions of reserves, the bulk of the million fresh fighters that have been kept behind the front for the de- cisive struggle. Hindenburg's forces are striking back with fury and vio- lence that surpasses anything seen in this war.
 The British pushed forward south of
 
 the Bapaume-C -Cambrai liNe and reach ed the St. Quentin canal near Vend- huille, ten miles south of Cambrai Further north they captured two viii lages, Beaucamp and Villers-Plouich.
 Meanwhile, on the twelve mile front where the greatest open battle of the war is raging, between Croisille, to the north of Grayelle, the British stood their ground against the desperate, un- ceasing Teuton counter attacks. This front is parallel with the Wotan line, the famous switch of the Hinden- burg defense system, running straight from Queant northward to Drocourt.
 Here it is all military experts look for the decision. A British break through on the Wotan line and French piercing of the Siegfried line would, in the opinion of experts, spell the great debacle to German arms in the west that would mean Germany's defeat in the whole war.

CONGRESS GATHERS TO DETER.
MINE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES
BEFORE PEOPLE OF U. s.
SINCE CIVIL WAR.
HOUSE TO ACT FIRST ON
ANY WAR RESOLUTION
President Wilson Has His Message
Completed and Will Deliver 1t as
Soon as Both Houses Are Or
ganized-Groups of Pa
cifists Small.

Washington, April 3. Congress
called in extraordinary session by the
President, meets to determine the
most important issues before the PEG
pie of the United States since the
Civil War. 1t Is considered a foregone
conclusion that it either will declare
war against Germany or declare that
a state of wal exists.
President Wilson has completed the
message he will deliver to Congress
and is ready to address a joint ses
sion as o as he gets word that both
houses have been organized and are
ready to hear him.
Either before or directly after his
address the President is expected to
confer with congressional leaders re
garding the specific legislation desired
by the administration.
House to Act First.
The Senate, already organized will
be ready to transact business, but III
view of the fact that any war resolu.
ton is expected to carry an appropri-
alton it is predicted that action will
wait on the House. Democrats and
Republicans of the House have cleared
the way for an immediate effort to or.
ganize and the belief is general that
the Democrats will reassume control
with Speaker Clark in the chair with
in 2 few hours after the session Be-.
gins.
War Resolution Certain.
There is little doubt that a wal res
olution will be passed by large ma
~jorities in both houses. There are
little groups Of pacifists, opposed to
war except to resist invasion, who
will vote and probably talk against
any warlike move. There are other
groups which have their own ideas
about what the United States should
do in the present situation, but none
is strong enough to prevent action or
seriously impede its progress.
May Be F~ar-Reachins Action.
In the House there probably will be
no persistent opposition unless it
m from members who favor more
f~ar-reaching action than the President
recommends. The Senate has it's new
cloture rule to limit debate If a small
group there undertakes to delay ac-
ton.
Aside from the war resolution and
the appropriations which probably
will accompany it, there is not much
pending legislation that leaders be-
lieve necessary to enact before next
winter. The appropriation measures
which failed at the last session, par
ticularly the army bill, the amend
ments to the shipping act giving the
government broad powers wei mer-
chant shipping, some changes in the
federal reserve act, and legislation to
curb spying, are among the things
which probably will be deemed essen
t!al to prosecution of whatever course
Is determined upon.

take up the matter of grazing utiliza-
ton, and stated that today through the
work of Dean Shattuck and the univer
sity forestry department this work is
now farther advanced than in any 9th
er university in the United States.
Dean Shattuck gave history of the
development of the grazing phase OF
forestry. There are now seven or
eight men at work in district four of
the forestry service, he stated, who
were trained in the forestry depart
ment of the University of Idaho, and
the demand for such men is greater
than the department can supply.
