Every precaution was taken by the
Americans to spare these unfortunate

hours Of fierce fighting and all the
Germans cleaned out. AS the day pro

this American division will never for

Important Legislation Will
Come Before Congress

Reconstruction. as It relates to trans

follow swiftly upon peace, in the opinion
Of members Of Congress, who already
are beginning to consider these prob
lens. This means that legislation Of
vast importance will be undertaken by
Congress soon after the war is ended
Senator Martin Of Virginia, discussing
reconstruction yesterday. said that when
the war is over steps must be taken i'm
mediately to reduce and stop the huge
expenditures that the government is
now making. Bureaus which have gown
to large proportions must be abolished
or reduced to a minimum in personnel,
he said.

to the huge expenditures. necessary

Must Be Discharged.
He indicated that thousands of per-
sons who have come into the employ
OF the government must be dis
charged as soon as possible.
Congress will not appropriate the
money to continue the employment
OF these people" said Senator Martin.
With the end of the war the food
and fuel control laws lapse. But con-
troll OF the food situation will be
needed Tor long time to come, it is
said. It is certain. however, that eff

In eject after the war will meet with
strong opposition in Congress.
The railroad and wire control prob
iems Will face Congress also. Under
the law giving the control Of the rail-
roads to the President it is specified
that this control must end within
eighteen months after the war ends
me wire control law is for the dura-
ton OF the war only.
Inc question of permanent govern

Of the telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS of the country will come to the
fore. and members of Congress who

these utilities will make a fight to
have the government take them over
permanently.
Shipping Problem.
The shipping problem also must be
faced. Senator Martin indicated that
enough money would be appropriated

hand. The United States Shipping
board Is a permanent organization,
but Its powers, under the authority
granted by Congress to meet the war
situation. have been enormously in
creased. 1t is expected that these
extraordinary powers will be consid-
erably curtailed.
If peace comes before March 4,1919,
it is said an extra session of Con-
gress will have to be called to deal
with reconstruction legislation If
peace does not come, an extra session
Will be necessary to provide the funds
and additional legislation that NAV
be needed for the prosecution of the
war. There will be little time in the
regular session beginning next De-

such legislation, whether there is war
or peace.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT
THE FRONT. November American
troops are taking part in giant Of
fensive which may prove to be one Of
the most important moves in the war
on the western front.
The LIST American Army attacked on
a. twenty-three-kilome fourteen
miles) front between the Aisne and
the Mouse as their part Of a colossal
offensive by the allies pivoting on the
Mouse as on a hinge.
The last of the Kriemhilde Stellung
was crossed, forcing the Germans to
abandon this strong position and re-
tire to new defensive positions farther
north where desperate fighting is con-
tinuing.
Where the Americans are now they
are within easy artillery range Of Blu
Fancy and are in a position to cut off
the German motor supply system. The
victory clears the front of the most
important enemy trench system.
Mist and Smoke Aid.
After the heavy artillery fire, begin
ming at $3.50 o'clock Friday morning,
the infantry jumped of at $50. just as
a heavy fog was falling. The mist
with the smoke from the shells COM
pletely masked the attack and the
German machine gun detachm ents,
which were acting as the rear guards,
were not aware of the advance until
the Americans were on top of them.
In the second wave came the engineers
repairing the roads for the tanks and
artillery. Everything moved with the
was used effectively in the attack.
Ten fresh German divisions were used
in trying to stem the American attack.
Dramatic Sight REVEALED.
When the fog lifted at o'clock
dramatic sight was revealed. The
troops composing the second American
wave were waiting in the lee of a hill
crest apparently unmoved by the shells
falling among them. Suddenly COM
mand was given and they disappeared
over the top of the hill. The German
battery reaction in the early hours was
slight, the shells consisting chiefly of
high explosive projectiles from long
range guns, the smaller caliber cannon
having been hastily withdrawn to pre-
vent capture.
There was bloody fighting in spots on
the long front, certain fortified villages
and woods being alive with machine
gunners who remained at thni- posts
until they were killed. One division re-
ported that girl in German uniform
had been CAPTURED.

Dramatic Sight Revealed.
Large Territory Gained.

Twenty-Five square miles Of territory
were wrested from the Germans in the
first hours Of the fighting. While the
enemy apparently anticipated the neces-
sity of withdrawal he left picked detach-
ments behind with orders to sell their
lives as dearly as possible. he Kriemhilde

impregnable. / saw gates with springs
so arranged as to trap raiders who
would be enfiladed by hidden machine
guns. There were secret covered huts
in which man could hide. emerge
throw grenades and then disappear.
Artillery Works Havoc.
The artillery worked havoc with the
trenches. but the enemy, .foreseeing this.
dug himself in behind every hill and
kept up continuous fight. AS already
noted it was foggy in the early part of
the day. Then there was an hour of

was great help to the Americans. For
the first time of the five weeks of the
offensive the weather was in their
favor. 1t not only prevented the Ger
man machine guns from cross-firing.
but made impossible the aerial ac-
tivity which the Germans had planned.
This was evidenced from the fact that
they had concentrated their flying
circus" on this front several days ago.
Before the zero hour" the infantry
crawled out of their trenches. Expect
ing a counter barrage they dug them
selves in, each man occupying a fox
hole" one hundred yards in front of
the trench. When the command was
given to jump off these fox-hole men,
popping up in the chill morning mist
like jacks in boxes, rushed forward.
Practically not a single rifle was fred
until the first German outposts were
ireacherd and then bayonets were ordi-
narily used.

W.S.C..U. OF |.ICAME
WILL Be PLAYED HERE
CONTEST PLANNED FOR PULL
MAN TOMORROW NIGHT TO BE
PLAYED IN MOSCOW

The contest between basket ball
quintets representing the University
of Idaho and Washington State col
lege which was to have been played
in Pullman tomorrow evening will be
staged in the university gymnasium.
The change of setting was made as a
result of a small pox scare which now
has the state college campus in it's
throes.
Tomorrow's affray will be the third
of the basket ball season between the
varsity and doc" Boilers charges.
The two opening contests were added
to the Idaho "won" column by rather
substantial margins but there is more
than a possibility that form based on
past performances viii be sharply up
set tomorrow.
The announcement has been made
that Elra Hunter, brilliant forward
and acting captain of the Idaho five,
will probably be unable to appear
against Pullman and his lose may
prove disastrous. Chick Evans, the
Moscow high school graduate who will
be substituted for Hunter, is more ag
gressive than the latter and perhaps
plays a better defensive game than
the team captain, but he does not pos
ess Hunters uncanny wizardry from
floor and foul-line.
The prospect of a close and furious
ly contested affray is expected to
bring out the largest crowd of the sea-
son. The hour set is 7:45.
