French Army Elated;
at Success of Great
Drive Against Teutons
Bp Associltcd Prcss

Paris, March 20.-The latest news
from, the front accentuates the feel
ing of optimism in military circles
here and convinces the critics that
the Germans are now engaged in a
most difficult and dangerous opera
ton in view of the large front in
volved. According to the hitherto ac-
cepted theory to effect such a move
ment with any safety it was neces-
days march should be maintained be-
tween the pursuing and retreating
forces. Under the present circum-
stances both armies are in close con-
tact.
The Germans are carrying out their
retirement under the cover of small
but picked rear guards, sometimes en-
tirely composed of officers and nom
commissioned officers, which make
counterattacks when the pursuers
press too closely on their heels. TIE
weather, which continues clear, is IN
favor of the advancing allies. French
military critics maintain that it is
more and more unlikely that the Ger
mans can reach the Lille-La-Fere line
without mishap. 1t is assumed that
they propose to convert this line,
which was their former base. into
their principal position and remove
their base seventeen miles to the rear
on a line running from Falenciennes
to Laon. 1t is asserted that from any
point of view the Germans are facing
an aggravation of an already difficult
position and confront even less favor
able fighting conditions in the imme-
diate future.

Russians to Build
Great Railway System
Ru .Associntcd Press

Washington, March 20.-Extensive
railway construction in Russia during
the next ten years aggregating almost
sixty thousand miles, recommended by
a special commission, has been ap-
proved by the Russian Council of
Ministers. A. report to the Depart
ment of Commerce says about $780,
600, 900 will be the cost of fifty-one
projected lines, aggregating 20,779
miles, recommended for construction
during the period of 1917-1922. 1t is
recommended that other lines total
ing thirty thousand miles>be built be-
tween 1922 and 1927.
The objects sought by the commits
sion are to connect new trade centers
with the interior markets for the pur-
pose of cheap exchanges, and creation
of new systems as means of access to
districts abounding in natural re-
sources.

HOUSE CLEARED
!, OF VISITORS
Speaker Puts Rule Into Effect
For the First Time in Years
and People Kick


Members of the House of Represent
of the House cleared of all persons
not authorized to enjoy privileges for
the first time in years. Speaker Bald
win put into operation the rule which
permits only members, former mem
bers, officers and employees and author
lied newspaper correspondents to be
upon the floor and the wives and
friends of members had to go up into
the gallery.
The chairs along the sides of the
chamber. the famous side lines" We're
all taken out and the pages chairs
were fastened together so that no one
could move them about. 1t was the
most !. busfnesslike appearance the
House has had since the new Capitol
was put into use and the splendid
order maintained during the evening
was much commented upon.
The Speaker decided upon this move
last week when people swarmed on the
floor during rollcalls and while there
was some objection by members they
acquiesced in the effort to get order.
When the usual Monday night throng
appeared the sergeants-at-arms were
at the doors and no one got in who
was not authorized Storms of wrath
beat about the doors and while few
persons got into the chamber on pleas
which sounded good they were stopped
by the brass railing and found them
selves lonely. Some of the lobbyists
held Indignation meetings and quite
few prominent folks had to cool their
heels in the anterooms and lobbes
For some reason or other there was
antipathy to going into the gallery.
1t was the only place from which to
view the proceedings.
The floor of the Senate was also kept
clear last night and there were some
tough times for persons who had been
accustomed to parading over it. Even
members of the House were required
to tell why they appeared
