Important Unit.
Within division, the battalion is
the really important fighting unit, and
thus battalion problems are the basis
for all that follows. The problems
now engaging the battalions are those
met in ordinary routine trench war
fare. The Americans are working
them out alone, but listening to critl
cism afterward from both British and
French officers. The proper carrying
out of relief in trenches so that the
enemy will not know when one unit
has been replaced by another, is one
phase of the battalion problem, which
is being followed with fidelity through
conditions actally found in front lines.
Offensive and defensive problems in
large numbers and variety are also
being worked out with ,commendable
skill. '<.' 'E'Siis 2 y E"'~ 20"

Washington, D. c., Sept. 27.-The
house rules committee met today to
act on resolutions calling for inyesti-
cation of charges made against mem
bers hy Rep. Heflin of Alabama, and
another alleged to have been made by
Rep, Howard of Georgia, in connection
with the revelation that Count Won
sBernstorff sought $4,000 to influence
congress. Rep. Norton OF North Da-
kota appeared before the committee
to advocate favorable action. a..
Rep. Heflin has reiterated his will
ingness to name to an Investigating
committee the men that he declared
on the floor of the house had "acted
suspiciously" in connection with the
war
Published reports that President
Wilson had rebuked Mr.. Heflin for his
speech are formally denied. in a state
ment issued by Secretary Tumulty.
Congressional investigation of the
charges of Rep. Heflin in connection
with the $4,000 Won Bernstorff
"slush" fund seemed certain today aft
cr Heflin had appeared before the
house rules committee, considering de-
mands for action.
Democratic leaders said that If the
committee did not act by tomorrow
the situation would be taken up on the
floor of the house. Leaders of both
parties are receiving such insistent
demands for immediate action that it
seems it cannot be long delayed. Hef-
lin pleaded with the committee today
to turn it's attention to investigating
how the Won BernstOrff fund was used
rather than to his declaration that 13
or IA members of the two houses had
acted suspiciously." :. .
Mr.. Heflin insisted the committee
should develop who supplied the
money for mailing out Rep. Masons
anti.draft bill, and Rep. Britten's Ger
man-American service resolution, and
about the anti-war activity of Senator
.LaFollette.

'I want to know how many are in
this secret compact to fight the selec-
tive draft in the next campaign; how
many will support Brittens bill to
exempt German.American citizens" he
said.
Mr.. Hef1in also declared he wanted
an investigating committee named by
the democratic caucus and not "by
Speaker Clarke" Chairman Poe an
nounced that another meeting of the
committee would be held tomorrow.
