 Washington, March 6-American troops are now holding something over eight miles of trenches on the battle front in France, it was learned today al though in an air line their frontage IS only about four and half miles. This frontage is liable to extension at any time to the regular trench allotment for an army corps.
 Irregularity of the trench line is re- sponsible for their eight miles of length. They are laid out so that flanking fire may be obtained along every part of the front Strong points containing ma chine guns jut out for this purpose. The trenches also follow closely any project ing slope of the country and wander UT and down hill.

Alabamian Defends McAdoo Finance Corporation Bill
 Before Senate
POWERS MODIFIED
 TO GAIN PASSAGE
Administration Leaders Are Compelled to Make Com promise in Face of
 Growing Opposition

Washington, March 6. Rowing to rising opposition in the Senate, administration leaders today compromised the dispute over the security issue control provision of the war finance corporation and agree ment was reached for passage of the measure tomorrow. Voluntary instead of compulsory licensing of security issues of $1O0,O0O or more was accepted after another day of spirited debate and of nego- tiations between Secretary McAdoo and leaders of both factions. The compulsory licensing plan was stricken from the bill by viva voce vote, together with provisions for fine and imprisonment of persons violating orders of the capital issues committee, established to censor se- curity issues.
 The compromise substitute, drafted
 by Senator Reed of Missouri and of
 fered by Senator Swanson of Nr- gina, after Secretary McAdoo had given his approval retains the plan | for examination of security issues hy a capital issues committee, which is given official and legal status, bur I with power limited to recommending | whether such issues are compatible

 fluence of the treasury departments stock exchanges and banks support ing it would prevent flotaton of se- curities which the committee disap- 1 proves.
 PENALTY CLAUSE For the clause penalizing violation
 of the capital issues committees or ders or regulations a substitute was
 adopted providing penalties of 5000 fine and one years Imprisonment for violation of the law, excluding the committees rules

that at least three divisions of Ameri- can troops are there to give the neces- sary support in depth for the front line. This fact has aroused speculation here as to who will be selected by General Pershing to command the first corps Of his army. Maj.-Gen. Hunter I>iggett IS known to have acted in that capacity. but as yet the expeditionary commander has not made any recommendations
 It is possible that the French system will be followed in the American army
 so far as the appointement of corps commanders goes. It is the custom in France to select any one of the division commanders in corps and to place him at the head of the corps. He retains his rank as division commander, how ever and in the case of the American army that would be major general.

 R,,mania evidently is on the point of effecting separate peace with the Ieu- tonic allies by meeting the hard demands which are to be exacted in return TOT q cessation of the inroads into the httie Kingdom which now is absolutely isolated from it's allies. The preliminary peace treatv has been signed and the armis- +ic. extended so that discussion of a formal treaty may begin immeola,eiy. Among the chief demands of the enemy is inc cession of the Dobrudja, rectlnca- Ition of the Hungarian-R Rumanian border economic advantages for the central pow CTS and aid in the transport of troops or the ouadruple alliance through MoloaVia and Bessaraba to Odessa.
 American troops now have taken up an other position on the front in France and with their usual business-like meth ods already have frustrated an attempt by Germans to raid their trenches. The new position is somewhere in Lorraine. Altogether. more than eight miles oi trenches are now being held by Ameri- cans on the western front.
