Agreement Completed Yesterday Be tween Government and Large
 Wire Concern.

Washington, Oct 9.-Under an agreement completed today between the Postoffice Department and the Western Union Telegraph Company the government agrees to pay all in- terest on outstanding bonds of the company, all dividends and interest payments due on stocks and bonds o1 subsidiary companies, all taxes and operating charges on the property and in addition the sum of eight mll- lion dollars annually.
 This sum insures the present rate of dividend on the company's stock.

ALLIES NAV|ES MAY
ATTACK TEUTONFL
Great Sea Battle to Support
Counter Offensive Against
Germans is Likely.

Washington, April 2.-All departments
OF the government continued today the
:. concentration on the problem of providing
more speedy transport of American troops
to France. For hours this morning the
Super-War Council, of which Chairman
Hurley of the Shipping Board, Fuel Adj
ministrator Garfield and Food Adj
ministrator Hoover are Members, con-
fcrred with Acting Secretary Crowell,
Najor-Gen. March, Acting chief of staff,
and other officials.
The possibility was suggested today
that an Allied naval offensive might be
ordered about the time Gen. Foch began
his counter offensive, which is in inn
mediate prospect. The Navy Depart
ment maintains silence regarding pos
sible operations, but this afternoon Sccre-
tary Daniels presided over a prolonged
meeting Of the Council of National De
fence.
Dispatches today from Gen. Pcrshing
contained no reference 10 the movement
OF American troops IN response To orders
issued by Gen. Foch.
The American forces, placed abso-
lutely at the disposal of Gen. Foch,
will take their orders from him, and
1t is possible that little information
concerning their activities will reach
the War Department in advance of press
reports approved by the Allied COM
mander in chief.
The daily casualty reports given out
by the adjutant-general's office continue
to show only relatively small number
of casualties among the American forces,
indicating that up to date reports have
not been received from the American
engineers and other forces, which, ao-
cording 10 press dispatches, have been
in the fighting.
Today's report from Gen, Bliss and
Gen Pershing made public by Cen
March, throw mo light on the battle.
Gen Bliss dispatch was dated March 81
and received af the War Department at
S.5S this NOR hing 1t deals with the
battle line on March so and 81
Gen. Persb iug's dispatch gave the
battle line on the evening of March 30.
and added:
after day of heavy fighting all
along the line the situation continues
20 improve,
The confidence OF officials and mill
tary men here in the ability of Gen.
Foch TO hold back the Germans and
eventually to force their retirement
was strengthened by the press reports
today. The general feeling among staff
officers last night was that the enemy's
drive had spent its force.
