Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 5-Cardinal Gibbons strenuOusly denounced the na- uonal prohibition amendment in a statement issued by him tonight and declared that legislators of the states should not bow to the 'fanaticism that seems to be ruling us in this respect"
 He declared that some of the law makers seemed actuated by cowardice in voting against their convictions for the amendment.
 The cardinal declared that if the na- tional prohibition bill is ratified com monwealths will lose control of the regulatory powers they now possess. as well as the revenues that rightfully belong to them"
 T feel" said the cardinal. that if the amendment is ratified there will spring up in all parts of this country illicit stills that will manufacture a low grade of whiskey that will do more harm than the good grade is doing. Beer and light wines will pass out of existence and the man who wants d drink will have to resort to the brand of intoXicant that ,5 made surrepti- tiously and we all know what effect that will have on the men of the coun- try.
 Tt seems that some of our legisla- toiS Noulu IHdke MOndmmeudnS or us. Mohammeds tenets forbid the use of wine, yet the Mohammedan drinks his wine or his liquor despite his faith.
 Tt will be a calamity if this amend ment is adopted. It will be only step in the abridgment of other liberties that we enjoy. Those favoring the amendment will not be satisfied with this victory and they will try to i'm pose other obnoxious laws upon us that will make our personal liberty worth very little."

 q felt in those shell swept trenches - for they are shelled every day-that there the mighty preparations of America were be- ginning to be realized and that the end would be the overthrow of au- tocracy in Europe and safety for the world"
 Captain Amundsen reached the foremost trench in a thick fog and stood up on it's edge and peered into the fog toward the German trenches.
 "Yes," he said, "there was plenty of mud and water at the front, but the dugouts further back were dry, the furnishings the barest elemen- tary things, but enough for rude comfort. There was much lively talk back there, singing, whistllng and laughine.'
 Of his impressions of some of the eighteen American officers schools back of the line, which he inspect ed, he said:
 "lt was rather odd to see in the staff colleges officers being taught the higher art of war almost on the battle field.
 q was delighted to see colonel of Norwegian ancestry as one of the leading q-jnstructors."

From the North sea to the Swiss frontier military activity is growing in intensity, and some of the big battles that have been forecast may break.
 American, British and French arm ies have been taking whacks at the German line, either by patrol attacks or bombardments, while the Teutons have been giving attention on various sectors to their enemies
 The Americans again. have nipped in the bud an impending surprise attack on their trenches and taught the Germans a salutary lesson with their artillery. The Teutons were awaiting the word to go over the top, when the Americans opened a heavy fire.
 Heavy casualties are believed to have been inflicted on the Teutons and considerable damage was done by the 75's on the German trenches.
 The Germans have not yet been able to re-occupy the trenches and dugeuts battered by the American fire Saturday evening and have been forced to build another line of trenches
 Next in importance have been at ldChS DN NItInldnS dSdliSl fTeQcn Tn the Aisne region and north of Yer dun. The French war office asserts that the attacks were repulsed, but the German war office says that south of Beaucourt, Baden storming troops pushed far into the. French front, inflicting heavy casualties and returning with prisoners.
 The British have carried out sue cessful raids against the Teutons southwest of Armentieres and in the vicinity of the Ypres Staden railway, where many of the enemy were killed and others captured.
 Intensive air fighting has been go- ing on between the French and the Germans in France and between Ital- ian and British airmen and the Ger mans in the Italian theater. Sunday thirteen enemy planes were downed by the French far inside the German lines, while an equal number were shot down by British and Italian airmen.

 PARIS, Feb. 5.-"The qualities that most impressed me in the American troops at the front" said Captain Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer, today, "are their cheerfuIness, confidence and certainty of being able to do their part in beating the Germans"
 Captain Amundsen is the first civilian foreigner to see the Amer ican front line trenches. He is about to leave for the United States to deliver addresses on the war as it appears to citizen of a neutral country, although he himself is not neutral.

 Its Neutrality-Hope of Compromise Is Expressed
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 CHRISTIANIA, Feb 5.-Norway's reply to the proposals from the Ameri- can war trade board regarding sup plies from the United States to Nor way, published today emphasizes the firm resolve of the Norwegian people and government to remain neutral.
 Norway, in her commercial policy, cannot break with one belligerent." the reply says. without imperilling her general neutrality
 'The Norwegian government enter tains no doubts that the United States and her allies will understand Norway's difficult situation. Norway justly claims that the country should not go without bread. thus being confronted with the alternative of complete dis tress or an agreement that might en- danger her neutral position and pos sibly expose the country 10 war which in a short time might destroy what the Norwegian people have taken centuries to build.'
 The reply also emphasizes the i'm portant benefits rendered to the United States and her allies by Norway. and especially by Norwegian commercial | shipping. which have been attended by great sacrifices in human life and ships
 The reply points out that Norway has endeavored to accommodate the United | States so far as she can reconcile this with her civilians, saying:
 Norway offers to the United States and her allies the greater part of her ! exports in return for supplies neces- sary for her national health and pro- ductivity."
 The newspapers commenting on Norway's reply. including the govern ment organs. display reluctance to meet the United States amicably. This is in great contrast to previous articles in | these papers. The feeling in political circles is hopeful that a compromise will be reached.

 Pleas of lack of proof, sickness, re- cent marriage and ignorance of the laws of this country" Judge Howe said, will not influence this court in i'm posing sentence.

WAR CABINET BILL
 CONTROVERSY WILL
 TAKE SENATE TIME
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Develop- ments today promise indefinite ex- tension of the controversy in the senate over American war efficiency and the military committees bill for a war cabinet and munitions di- rectors.
 Senator Wadsworth, a republican committee member. delivered a pre- pared speech in behalf of the pro- posed legislation, criticizing what he described as an utter lack of system and comprehensive planning in the governments war activities. There were no replies today by admins tr9tion spokesmen, but several ex- pect to speak tomorrow. In spite of efforts to curtail the agitation, so many senators have indicated their intention to prepare addresses on one side or the other that the discussion probably will continue into next week at least.
 Senator Shields. democrat, and Sen ator Kirby. a democratic committee member, plan to speak tomorrow, the former to attack the constitutionality of the committee measures and the latter to defend the armys opera tions in a review of the committees evidence. Senators McKellar, demo- crat, and Weeks, republican, both committee members, are framing ad- dresses in support of the legislation.
 Further disclosures of the govern ments military program are expected tomorrow when Secretary Baker re- appears before the military commit tee for cross examination.
 Challenge Baker Statement
 The secretary's' statement to the committee last week that a half mil lion men would be in France early this year and another million in readiness to go. having been attacked yesterday by Senator Hitchcock as absolutely preposterous" and wildly exaggerated" because of lack of ship ping. MT. Baker may give the com mfttee the information on which he based his assertion. He will be questioned about various phases of his statement and will be asked to go into detail concerning his reor- ganization of the war department, the manufacture of ordnance, the aviation program and other subjects.
 In anticipation of a crowd of spec tators at the hearing the committee has arranged to secure the large room in the senate office building where MT. Baker appeared last week.
 Senator Wadsworth in his address today declared that the system and not individuals is responsible for the present conditions which, he said "cruelly handicap" the government and preclude business-like team work on the part of the bureaus and Vari- ous official organization constituting a "conglomeration" of ambitions and scattered agencies. He insisted that war cabinet or similar body under some other name is essential, be- cause it is physically impossible or the president to coordinate the governments functions.
 Senator Wadsworth denied that the legislation was designed to or would result in interference with the presi- dents authority.
