Germany's great offensive on the
western front has been resumed. With
only brief artillery preparation two
blows have been struck by the Teu-
ton armies, which have been reorgan-
ized since the disastrous losses were
inflicted on them by the French and
British during the Picardy and Flan-
ders battles In March and April. One
attack was on the line from voorme-
zeele TO Locre, southwest Of Ypres;
the other on q thirty-five mile front
from Pinon. north to Scissors, to
Rheims. This is known as the Aisne
sector.
In Flanders the Germans have
gained virtually nothing. but further
south the Berlin official statement
claims that the German crown princes
troops have carried the whole ridge Of
the Chemin des Danes and now are
fighting on the Aisne river.
On the Aisne front the present bat.
tie recalls the fearful fighting Of last
summer along the Chemin des Danes
where for weeks the German crown
prince hurled his men against the
French positions. only to see then
crushed and beaten. The attack here

1t Is being launched from Laon as a
center and Is aimed at the elbow in
the line formed during the fighting In
Picardy In March and April.
Evidence that the allied supreme
command was forewarned Of the at

British troops are fighting there.
The German crown prince is in
command In this sector, and this may
indicate a serious effort to break the
allied line.
Crown Prime Rupprecht OF Bavaria

PROMINENT TRAINMAN STATES RAILWAY MANAGEMENT TRYING

Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb 5.-There is an organized attempt being made by the management of various big railroad systems to render the operation of railroads ineffective, according w. G. Lee the president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainen who is here sultng with the government wage commission which in vestgatng the demands of the raroaders for increased pay Mr. Lee declares that he has in his possession facts that prove that experienced railroad permit ted to operate their divisions and systems their training dictates.
 The attempt to dscredit government operation is de- liberate and codbooded said Mr. Lee. Tt is not flare in the pan but organized for the purpose of killing all idea oi government ownership of railroads and other public utilities for all time to The arrangements of these roads realize well anyone that the public will let the roads go back under private ownership if government management succeeds and they fighting operation by the government and rendering futile its plans
 Mir. Lee is of the most prominent union officials in the United States He conducted the fight for the four big railroad broherhoods which resulted in the Adason eight hour law and his ability conceded by every raroader to be unequalled

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. s. The. treasury department today an- nounced that during the first ten months since the break in diplo- matic relations with Germany the war has cost the United States ST. 100,000.000.

AMERICANS MAY SHORTLY TRAIN
 WITH TOMMlES
Associated PrAss)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. B. The war department today stated that plans have been suggested to the American government by the al. lied military experts whereby the op- portunities for training Americans in France will be greatly broadened It is now suggested that the American troops be sent to the English trench es for training.
 The suggestion has the undoubted value of increasing training facili- ties. The Americans could train to much better advantage. 1t is believed, under English officers than French, as there would be no need for inter- preters. and both men and officers would be able to understand every thing going on.
 It is now probable that in a short time American troops may appear in the British trenches in Flanders. This. in addition to the American training camps already established, will accommodate a large number of men. When the course of train. ing has been completed in the Brit ish trenches the Americans will be sent to join General Pershing in the American sector. A definite deci- sion will be made in a few days

TWO OUNCES IS
 BREAD RATION
(Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Feb. B. The first ration to be placed in ef- feet in America which is compul- sory was announced today by the national food administration. The or. der issued by MT. Hoover. head of the administration, places the bread ration on all dining cars, in hotels and restaurants at two ounces for each person fed. The ration allow ance will be strictly observed by those concerned.
 This action is considered to be necessary on account of the diff culty which Is being experienced in getting some of those affected by this order to cooperate with the government in it's conservation mea. sures. The amount Is thought to be sufficient. Many of the hotels and restaurants already observing the former requests for conservation have stated that the average amount of bread consumed by their patrons has not exceeded two ounces. and this figure was determined upon by the administration. Any violations of the order will be punished by revoking the offenders license or similar mea- sures.
