really is the forerunner of some
other movement.
There is q marked tendency among
American Army officers here not TO
accept the present movement as tne
real offensive until it is more fully
demonstrated.
Suspicious of Object
Despite announcement from Lon
don that the German war macnihe
is attacking on wider front than
ever before attempted in the west,
there is a distinct feeling here that
the move may not prove more than
gigantic demonstration to oyerawe
European neutrals or cloak some
other purpose.
American observers think the mil
itary situation in France is against
the probability of a real German Of
fensive at this time. The views pre-
vail that Germany now would hard
ly stake. the issue of the war on a
desperate drive against the all but
impregnable allied line in the west.
Reports from Holland that Ger
many semiofficially has made peace
offer to the Entente, coming at the
same time as the attack. engaged
immediate attention. Although there
was nothing to confirm the reports,
it was pointed out that the threat or
German guns may be for its enect
on the people of England and
France. Some see significance in the
fact that the drive follows closely
on the seizure of Dutch ships in
American and British. waters.
Confidence in Allies
Supreme confidence is expressed
on every hand, however, in the allies
ability to arrest the Germans even
should the attack now reported un-
der way from La Fere to the Scarpe
,,rove to be the grand offensive.
Members of the House Military
Committee heard the first meager
details of yesterdays German at
tack as received by the War Depart
inent when they met to-day with the
War Council under the new policy
adopted by Acting Secretary Croweli,
OF taking Congress into the coni1-
dence of the government. The mill
tary authorities pointed out to the
representatives that nothing had
come from the fighting front as yet
to indicate the scope of the German
NOV ement.
The committee members again
were informed in detail of the prog
ress made in all branches of Ameri-
car war preparations. They appear
ed satisfied that every possible effort
is being made by the War Depart
ment to hasten the war program.
Members of the Senate Committee
will meet the War Council again to-
morrow. Arrangements for joint ses-
sions have not been completed.
Developments in the fighting were
awaited last night with a calmness
born of the assurance that the Brit
ish armies were braced for the blow
and that the western line cannot be
broken. 1t may be bent or crushed
here and there on local sectors. but
the Allies know only too well the
fruitlessness of attempting strate'
gic break through the fixed posi-

May Run New Trolley Cars
Here Under Own Power

The freight embargo will not inter-
fere with tho delivery here of the
five new cars for the Harrisburg
Railways Company il all of the neces-
sary parts can be gotten through to
Philadelphia. President Frank B.
Ahlsser, of the Railways Company, has
returned from Philadelphia where he
went in an effort to have work
FASTENED on the cars. He found that
the cars are nearing completion but
that some gears and motors are need
ed to finish them. Under ordinary
circumstances cars are shipped here
by freight and the motors are in
stalled here. Officials have now got
ten in touch with the Westinghouse
Company. in Pittsburgh. and made a
request that the motors be shipped
to Philadelphia instead of this city.
If the freight embargo still holds
when the cars are completed, then
they will be run here under their
own power. They will be run from
Philadelphia to Pottstown and then
to Norristown, Reading, Ephrata,
Lebanon. Hershey and Hummelstown.
The new cars may be here within a
month.

and Senator Cham berlain, chairman
of the Military Committee, let it go
over for action later.
Senators were not sparing in their
declarations that the government
should act swiftly and drastically to
meet what they characterized as a
menace to the people. Senator Cham
berlain particularly declared it might
be necessary to send troops into the

 Bitter speeches were made against the adoption of tho clause and many delegates, mostly officers of tba union, urged its approval as one of the best things tue miners can do to as stst in stahilzing tho coal industry. fallure To ratify the agreement. lead .ers say, would bring about chaos ana .endanger a maXimum output of bt- luminous coal It was the general opinion of influential officials the union tonight that it would De rati- jed by Q large majority.
 The Washington agreement gave tho bituminous men a substantial increase in wages. It contains a clause which provides that miners be fined one dol lar day for each day they violate the agreement by going out on un- authorized strikes or for other viola ton of other contracts.

 Penalty clauses in one form or an other have been in effect in the mid dlewest for years.
 Patriotism and loyalism to the United States figured in nearly every speech. Alexander Howit, president of the Kansas miners. who led the opposition to the clause. told the dele gates they should not be deceived when they are told they are disloyal to the nation if they vote against ratji- cation. Those who favored ratitica- tion said the miners should approve the measure as a patriotic duty in the present enl9r-ency when millions 0l persons are feeling the pinch of the coal famine One delegate against ratification said he would al ow nc man to question his loyalty He had one son left at home and if he did mot answer when his country calls him he would shoot him
