SUSPEND THE GENERAL S-HOUR LAW

LANSING,S WORKING FILE
Chicago Herald)

As collector and dispenser of information em- barrassing to the Secretary Lansing is sue cess Never a question arise but that the Secretary of State is able to add opposite data Never
 gap appears the continuous exposures of treason and the perfidy representatives and agents in this country but that the man in the State De. partment appears with the clarifying connecting link
 What bulging archives MT. Lansing must possess! His files fertile beyond praise But how embar- rassing these riches must be to German officaldom and it's servitors Courage for denial must utterly have trickled away Why deny when the chances that Lansing has the proof? Why challenge ac- cusations of infinite baseness when the State Depart ment may let loose the discriminating documents?
 How he secured this marvellous library; who the minor whose courage, ingenuity and good fortune achieved such a compilation; whither the awakening series leads-these specuations insolube now But assured it is that has brilliantly triumphed In the hand of Secretary Lansing publicity has in very fact become pitiless.

ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN

Give up money, give fame, give up science, give up the earth itself and all it contains, rather than do an immoral act. And suppose that in any possible situation, under any circumstances, it is best for you to do dishonorable thing how slightly so it appear to you. Whenever you to do thing, though it never be known but to yourself, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at and act accordingly.

ers are not issued, disclose the fact
that Chicago will be hard hit from

out.

affected-Chicago & Western In

handle the greater part of Chicago
shipping. Freight crews on these
roads as well as all switchmen on 10
lines in the Chicago district will be
the first to obey the strike order.
SECOND BLOW SUNDAY.
The second blow to be struck will
fall at p. m. Sunday, when trainmen
on the Great Northern Northern Pa
cific, Norfolk & Western, Chesapeake
& Ohio and the Virginia railway will
go out.
If it is necessary to call out third
group, the strike is scheduled for p.
M. Monday. This order is expected to
affect all men still at work.
Local railroad managers have made
no plans to combat the strike. From
their attitude 1t appears that they are
willing to test the strength of the I'M
ions at this time with the expectation
that, having fulfilled all legal require
ments, the government may intervene.

official war office statement today.
Samara is 20 miles distant from
Bagdad. Although the Constantinople
statement purposely is vague as to the
new positions, it may be significant
that a point so far distant is men
toned. All statements from the Brit
ish Mesopotamian expeditionary force
have indicated utter rout of the Turks
at Bagdad and hot pursuit by the Brit
ish, which would make forming of
the Turkish lines necessary at a con-
siderable distance from the present
battle line-possibly even 20 miles.

GER M AN CITADEL
ON THE WESTERN
FRONT MENACED
Germans Expected to Aban-
don Bapaume Before End
of Week and Retirement
May BE General.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SlMMs.
United Press Staff correspondent.

With the British Armies Afield,
March 14.-Bapaume seems doomed.
II this citadel-which Hindenburg
has called another Gibraltar"-does
not fall before the end of the week 1t
will be because the British plans have
been laid otherwise.
1t would not be surprising II the
German retirement spread over far
greater territory. Meanwhile the coun-
try is being laid bare as 1t progresses.
Grevillers and Achiet Petit are now
directly menaced.
The famous Loupart wood was given
UP by the Germans without struggle.
The British are now before the Ba-
paume line. After this there is an open
undulating country back to the Ger
man defense line--a country on which
the Germans have long forced civilians
to work.
The Germans claim of 1877 prisoners
in two raids south of Ypres, in the re-
gion of Wytschaete recently is a cuSi-
Gus exaggeration. Upon request of the
United Press staff correspondent the
official reports of these raids was dug
out. 1t showed only 81 men missing
on the day in question. 1t was obvi
ously impossible for the Germans to
have captured 127 on that date.
Simms' article was evidently written
prior to issuance of the official British
statement last night. which details the
occupation Of Grevillers. Simms men
tons this city as being "menaced"
The official report also mentioned the
capture of Loupart wood.
