OFFENSIVE AGAINST
U. S. IS PLANNED
GERMANY HAS CALLED IN SUBS.
IN PREPARATION OF NEW Of
FENsIvE.
WARMING GIVEN BY BAKER
Powerful Effort Will BE Made to Stop
Flow of Men, Munitions and Food to
Allies, Says Secretary Baker.

Washington. = Warning that the
Germans are preparing for great
submarine offensive against the Amer
lean lines of communication with
France in connection with the impend-
ing Teutonic drive against the west
front is given by Secretary Baker in
his weekly military review made pub
lie by the war department.
Recently there has been marked
decrease in the number of allied mer'
chant ships sunk by submarines. The
explanation for this is found in the
withdrawal of submarines in sprepa,
ration. for the coming thrust on land
and sea. The review says:
"As the time draws near when once
again the enemy will endeavor to
strike a decisive blow in the west, it
must be emphasized that he will not
be content with mere military oper-
atoms on a large scale.
During the past. fortnight enemy
submarines have been recalled to
home ports TO be refiitted and the most
powerful subamine offensive hitherto
undertaken may be expected to be
launched against our lines of cOmmu-
nicatfon with France to intercept the
steady flow of men and munitions for
our own armies and food supplies for
the allies.
During the period under review,
renewed activity along the entire
western front is noted.
"The region bordering the North
Sea has once again become the scene
of sever fighting. : 5.-
"a careful co-ordinated operation
undertaken by British monitors, act
ing in concert with land batteries in
the area north of Ypres, subjected the
German defenses of Ostend and sur
rounding country to severe bonn
bardment. g.
mo infantry action was attempted
in this sector by the British, but later
in the week the Germans reacted
sharply an ddirected a strong assault
against the short sector of the line in
the Dune area, which fringes the
coast in the vicinity of Newport. This
attack which must be considered
something more than a simple raid,
broke into the French lines, and for
q brief period, the enemy deactmeneS
were able to hold their ground in the
advanced outposts. The French speed
1y brought up fresh forces, drove out
the enemy and were able to re-estab-
lish themselves in their former posi-
lions without difficulty.

Washington. = Although improve
ment in weather conditions and freight
movement was reortepd to the director
general of railroads the embargo on
the shipment of freight other than
fuel, food or munitions, now in effect
on several eastern trunk lines will re-
main in force until February 6. The
railroad administration also plans to
keep in operation the re-routing plan
in force on southeastern lines.
The blizzard that swept over the
middle west has passed, and train
movements were resumed, on nearly
normal schedules. Heavy snowdrifts
in the railroad yards of Chicago and
other central cities materially Inn
paired service, but better conditions
were reported.
Difficulty continues to be experience
ed with dumping coal at eastern ter
minals ON account of frozen cars. The
work of bunkering steamers at Allan
tic ports proceeded rapidly, however,
and A. III. Smith, director OF eastern

provided as fast as needed.

How Pins Are Made

Pins, as you all know, are made
from wire. The wire is wound on
a large reel, which is hung over
the pin-making machine. This ma
chine cuts the pins from the wire,
headed, pointed, sharpened and
polished. The machine is a COM
bination of steel fingers, rollers,
toggle joints, cams, headers, re-
volving files and belts. The wire,
caught by a pair of rollers, Is
drawn forward into the machine,
where it is cut into thc right
lengths; two raps from cam and
toggle form the head The headed
wire is put on wheel under the
heading dies by steel finger. and
the pointless pin is carried down
between two revolving disks. One
of the disks revolves faster than
the other, SO the pin is turned as
it travels forward. Just at this
point it comes into contact with
four revolving files, which point it,
and then an emery belt puts the
first polish on it. The pins como
out of the machine at the rate of
100 minute and fall into a hopper.
from which they are taken to the
timing room. In passing from the
machine the pins become covered
with oil and dirt. and this is re-
moved by putting them in re-
volving iron barrel, with sawdust.
In the timing process the pins are
boiled for four hours in prepara-
ton of pure tin. They are then
washed in soapsuds, to give them
q smooth surface. After having
another whirl in sawdust they are
ready to be stuck in papers.

The Pipe Of Peace
in Indian Conferences

When American indians made
treaties with other tribes OF In
dams or with the white people,
they always brought into the group
Of those who drew up the peace
treaty, the Calumet, or Peace Pipe.
The Calumet is a pipe whose stem
is areed, two and one-half feet long,
and gMly decorated to s,,it the ar
tistic taste CT the Indian, with
locks Of wcmen's hair and feathers.
The bowl Of the pipe was made Of
soft red sandstone.
After the peace treaty has been
signed, the Calumet is brought in,
and given to the guests first after
wards to the Indians, themselves.
To present it. to strangers, was a
sign of fliendliness, and to refuse
it, was considered an act Of hostil-
ity.

Carrier Pigeon

The courage of the carrier pig
con is worthy of the soldiers with
whom it worked. It required a
death wound to interrupt it's mis-
sion. During the battle of the
Marine, July Is, a pigeon arrived
at it's motor dove cote completely
exhausted, bearing message of
the greatest Importance. It's claws
lad been carried away by a shell
splinter. The information it brought
enabled the staff to parry an i'm
portant attack.
Many pigeons returned to their
posts during the battle of Verdun
wounded in the leg or head, some
of them with their bodies torn by
projectiles. Two pigeons during
that period carried seven important
messages in commandments that
men could not get through.
