AMERICAN COLONEL
 GETS ENEMY OFFICER Makes Prisoner of German Lieutenant While With
 Raiding Party.

With the American Army in France, March (By the Associated Press. )- An American stafe colonel, while with a French raiding party for the pur- pose of securing information few days before his men took up their positions in the New American sector on the Lorraine front, met a Prussian lieutenant in any enemy trench and captured him. The colonel, with an American captain, brought the pris- oner back to the lines the Americans now are occupying.
 The German raid in this new sec. tor occurred on Monday night, sharp fight taking place in which the Germans suffered a repulse, with losses. Infantry which was among the most recent arrivals displayed the customary American fighting energy and apparently gave the enemy much warmer reception than he ex- pected
 The American troops here arg training with French troops as at the Chemin des Danes position This makes the third American force now facing the enemy
 During several days of the Ameri- cans service here the casualties have been extraordinarily slight, as the sector is one of the Quietest The lines are far apart and the position is held by strong points rather than bv continuous trenches. The Prussian officers capture was the first instance of an enemy officer being taken prisoner by the Ameri- cans and also the first occasion upon which an American officer had cap. tured an enemy officer or soldier in this sector.

 IN HISTORY FOR GEN. PERl3
 GUNS WILL HAVE 20 MILE

Washington, March l.-Based upon fare evolved in France the war de- partmen it was learned today, has approved a plan of organization which fixes six divisions as the strength of an army corps.
 Three or more corps will cOnsu ute a field army and the immediate purpose of the de oartm ent is to com- plete organization of the first field army in France in the shortest pos Sible time to give Gen. PerShing the strength to hold a fully Americanized sector of the front The plan leaves to Gen. pershing the determination of the number of corps and field armies needed and also authorizes him to recommend commanders for the higher units.
 By the six division army corps plan each corps will occupy a front sector with two divisions while two replace ment or reinforcement lines of two divisions each will back them up. The effect is to produce the line of depth necessary for the type of warfare now in progress
 Replacement troops sent from the United States is fed into the war machine in France at the third line They move forward in regular ordcH as their training progresses and ar rive at front line trenches to fill ir casualty gaps only whom they have been thoroughly seasoned.
 To fulfill the functions of an army corps it was been found necessary to place under a corps commander, in addition to his six infantry divisions approximately %, 900 men known as corps troops. These comprise artjI-

 At 1:43 o'clock this morning the two policemen and the night clerk were startled by hearing a series of shrill feminine shrieks coming from the third floor. 2 They traced the sounds to room 334 where two ac- tresses Gertrude Book and Gaquiba Dalvi, were found hiding their heads under the bed clothes.
 The two girls explained that they had been awakened a few minutes before by someone tampering at their door and saw a masked man enter, having opened the lock with a mas ter key. Their Shrill cries had eEi- dentlY frightened the man away for he could not be found.

1ery units, engineers, and 13alI ty4. service battalions for work on t1i8 communication lines of their own lines A similar organization of 130,- 0O0 men is needed for each field army of three corps. These troops main tain the lines from the advance base of the army back to the sources of supply. In the case of Gen. Persh- ing's forces this line connects with the ocean transport service.
 Included in the corps troops are many units of heavy artillery equipped with guns ranging up to 10 and 12 inches in calibre both for fixed en- placement and for mobile artillery. This comprises the artillery reserve of the corps. The great general artillery reserve of the field army is under direct command of the army commander and included in his so- called army troops.
 The organization schedule shows General Pershing is to be equipped eventually with artillery of all calibre on d scale not heretofore dreamed of. A proportion of artillery to army rifles adopted by the war department is greater than that of either the Brit i5h or French army.

AUSTRIA CHEERED BY
 RUMANIAN VICTORY
Lower House Bursts Into Shouts on Receipt of
 News.

Amsterdam, March 7-Premier von Seydler, in announcing the signing of preliminary peace treaty with Ru- mania in the Austrian lower house. said:
 Permit me sincerely to congratu~ late the house that by the military and political cooperation of Austria Hungary with it's faithful allies this fresh and important stage on the road to a general peace has been reached''
 The statement was greeted with prolonged cheering.
 The preliminary peace treaty signed Tuesday evening at Bufftea, says a dispatch from Bucharest, stipulated that the armistice between Rumania and the Central Powers should run for 14 days from midnight to March with a period of three days for denunciation. Complete agreement was reached between the signatories that the final peace should be con- cluded within this period on the basis of the preliminary treaty.
 The dynastic question in Rumania is an internal one. This declaration was made by Baron von Dem Bus sche Haddenhausen, under-secretary for foreign affairs, in the Reichstag in reply to observations by other speakers regarding the future of the Rumanian throne.
 It had been reported from several sources that Prince William of Ee- henzollern, brother Of King F'erdi- nand of Rumania, was to succeed his brother on the Rumanian throne. The preliminary peace treaty between Ru- mania and the Central Powers, how ever, makes no mention of any pro- posed change in the Rumanian ,dy- nasty.
 New York, March 7.-President Wilson's address to congress early in January, in which he defined 14 con- ditions for peace, has acted like a leaven in the political life of Austria Hungary and the conditions are re- verted to over and over again as 8 possible concrete basis for negotia- tions, appears from the discussion in German newspapers of the latter part of January, just received here. The proposals also have received considerable attention in Germany. The papers there explain the favor 1 able echo the proposals have evoked | in Austria by stating that the objec- 1 tionable parts of the presidents ad- | dress do not apply to Austria as vital- 1 ly as to Germany.
 Various members of the Austrian 1 house of deputies declared in the l budget committee that it was a mis- | take to reject the Wilson proposals 1 coolly and contemptuously. They eX- pressed the belief that even at the present time it should be possible to reach an understanding with the l western powers.
