Gen. Neville Swiftly Brings His
Forces Nearer St.
Quentin.
HAIG WITHIN STRIKING
DISTANCE OF CAMBRIA
Purpose of Dramatic Retreat of Ger
mans Still Clothed in Con-
siderable Mystery.

French troops. pushing hard on the
heels OF the retreating Germans, are
today within striking distance of the
"Hindenburg line" the supposed goal
of their retreating foe. The milestones
on this line are the historic towns of
Lille. Cambria. ST. Quentin, Laon and
La Fere.
The troops of Gen. Neville were rush
ing toward st. Quentin yesterday at
rate almost unprecedented in the pres
eat world war. and had reached a point
within five miles of the city. Unless
some unheralded factor has entered
into the situation the French have by
this time either entered St. Quentin or
the German retreat has halted.
British Push Forward.
In the meantime to the north the
British are doggedly pushing forward
toward Cambria. and are apparently
within striking distance of that town.
the heart of the Lille-La Fere line and
famous since the days of the Romans.
The British are advancing more slowly
than the French. but nothing, either in
the official reports from Paris or Lon
don or in the unofficial stories of news
paper correspondents at the front, in
dicates that either army has yet come
in contact with the main German
forces.
The theory that the Germans propose
to halt their retreat on the Hindenburg
line has been put forward by military
critics in the allied capitals. but there has
been no indication from Berlin of the
plans of the German general staff and
the purpose and meaning of the dramatic
retreat of the invaders of France remain
clothed in considerable mystery.
Many Troops Released.
French military observers estimate that
the German retirement has already re-
leased 10000 to 100000 troops WI &c

fensive to be launched against the allied
lines at some speculative point. The
Paris newspapers regard some such move

a German attempt to assume the 'initia-

either of these directions to indicate an

DEMOCRACY THE ISSUE

1T does not require many words to

veloped forms Of democracy and in us
it sees only Prussians.
I'VE have always answered by re-
ferring to the absolutism of Russia,
but now czarism has gone and the en-
perors successor is to accept the throne
only if the representatives of the peo-
pie agree. These representatives are
to be elected on the basis Of universal,
equal, direct and secret suffrage.
.'In Asia the empire of the mandarins
opposed every reform. They desired an
emperor with absolute power as long
as he did their will and thereby under
mined the monarchy and laid the foun-
dation of the republic. In the Euro
pean central empire similar spirits seek
to build similar Chinese walls and him

Attacks Chancellor.
why does the chancellor shrink back
now from unconditional necessity? AL
ways the hesitater. the procrastinater.
Bethmann Hollweg wants to begin to
cure Prussia after the war. Russia also
promised all reforms after the war, but
the war lasted too long for the Rus
slams.
why postpone till tomorrow what is
absolutely necessary today. what even
the king himself declared years ago
was one of the most urgent matters of
the business Of the state?
Now is the time for decisive action.
! The difficulties which might arise if
the government adopts the reichstag
system of elections for Prussan cleo
tions are as featherweight as COM
pared with the difficulties which will
come if it does not do this. The chan
cellor should not delay one day. The
Prussian people, as well as the other
German states, will stand as one man
at his side if he acts decisively."
Counsels for Delay.

Hollweg. says:
"A change in the Prussian electoral
system has been promised for a year
and after the war will be debated and
put into practice with all quiet thor
oughness. That is no longer news; it
is an obvious fact. To demand it for
tomorrow and at that in connection

Decision Transfers Issues.
View of Railway Officials.

NEW YORK, March 20.-Full power
by the government through Congress to
prevent railroad strikes. in the opinion
of the railroad officials. as expressed
here today. is the country's chief gain
from the decision by the United States
Supreme Court yesterday upholding the
Adamson act.
An official spokesman for the national
conference committee of railway man
ayers authorized the following state
ment:
The chief thing that the country has
gained out of this decision is that it
establishes beyond doubt that the gov
ernment through Congress has full
power to prevent railroad strikes. The
opinion as read by Chief Justice White
makes it plain that employees of inter-
state carriers. because of the public
character of the railroads. are affected
| with a public interest. and that they
have no more right to strike and tie up
the commerce of the country than have
soldiers and sailors.
This same opinion was recently ex-
pressed by Judge Clements, a member
of the interstate commerce commission.
when he said that railroad employees
are affected with public interest that
| they can no more ignore than can the
carriers.
