PAClFIST SENATORS BACK
U. S. IN WAR, SAYS GR0NNA
Early Opposer of Declaration Says:
eve Are Not Living in
the PAST

Senator Gronna of North Dakota, one
of a half dozen senators who voted
against the resolution declaring war on
Germany. yesterday afternoon declared
to the Senate that he and the others
who opposed war are as much inter-
ested in seeing the United States win
as any persons in the country.
There were those of US who were
not willing at the particular time the
declaration was made to enter into
this war, but ! hope at least that no
senator will challenge the patriotism
of any of those who were in the mi
nority at that time. We are as much
interested in the outcome of this war
as those of you who were in the ma
jority We have as willingly given
our sons, and many of US have given
our sons who did not have to go on
the field of battle under the law; but
after war had been declared, speak
patriotic duty to do everything in my
power to successfully prosecute the
war.
1--WE have contributed as literally as
we have been able to every fund nee
essary to successfully prosecute the
ton. We are facing a powerful en-
envy. Every true American must real
ize that it is his duty as citizen of
this government to see that a victory
with honor is won. Our faces must
be turned to the future. We are not
living in the past. Autocracy and oil
garchy must be crushed wherever
found in the interest of peoples gov
eminent. in the interest of liberty and
freedom

NO UNEAS|NESS FELT
OVER AIR PROGRAM DELAY
Good Showing in Battle Plane Con-
struction by July l Is
Predicted.

Speculation as to the reasons behind re-
cent agitation over delay in the aircraft
program is displacing in some quarters
here anxiety as to the status OF the pro-
gram itself.
There is little reason to doubt, it was
said officially again, that good showing
in battle planes would be made by July 1,
although admittedly it will be far short
of the tentative totals proposed to Con-
gress when the project was first taken up
Considerable mystery apparently sur
rounds the appointment of the special
inquiry board, headed by H. Snowden
Marshall Of New York. 1t has never been
officially described as an investigating
body in the sense that it Is seeking to
lay blame for any failures or delays and
it's instructions from the War Department
have not been made public. Activities Of
German agents in aircraft plants or else
where, it has been suggested, might have
prompted an inquiry.
The aircraft board met yesterday for its
regular weekly session and it was said
later that nothing had developed at the
meeting to warrant uneasinesc over the
progress now being made with production.

The pooled allied reserves under direc-

possible campaign of such nature, des-
ignated to keep the German command
perplexed as to which assault would be
driven home. In that position adequate
German forces of selected troops would
necessarily be held ready to support either
line, and they must be held somewhere
in Germany with ready transportation
available in either direction.
The theory of pooled general reserves

of what has been said in parliament
The practical question Of how such
grand reserve may be handled appeals to
Army officers as the most interesting

The key to the 1918 riddle Of the
western battle front is in the hands OF
the supreme war council at Versailles.
Decision as to the time and place OF
major operations by the allies rests
with that body. 1t directly controls
also, officers here believe, new weap-
on, forged during the winter. with
which to mako effective it's plans OF
strategy. That weapon is believed to
lie in a pooling of the reserves OF all
the allies armies permitting over
whelming concentrations at selected
points OF attack.
American observers now are con-
WINGED the German high command plans
defensive campaign, and that the
long-talked-of drive on Paris or the
channel ports was merely a bluff. The
initiative, according to that view, rests
with the allied forces. Communicates
are being closely scanned for the hrst
indication of any offensive operations
mapped out at Versailles
Credited for Aggressiveness.
The supreme council was created 70,
aggressive action this year, based on
co-ordinated plans and under the direc-
ton of a single agency.
The exact scope OF the councils au-
thority has never been disclosed. 1t
was said both by Premier Lloyd George
and by Lord Curzon, however, in eX-
planning the status of the British i'm
perial general staff and the commander
in the field, Sir Douglas Haig, that GER
tain British forces had been assigned
to the councils control.
Decision by the council, officers here
believe, as to the field where these and
similar forces from other armies are
to be concentrated will show where
allied blows at the German defenses
are designed to fall II there is to be
no German drives the council will not
be forced to hold its reserves for de-
fensive purposes and can devote that
new agency to attempts to smash weak
points in the German line.
Opinion as to the sectors offering
the best opportunity for allied as
saults varies widely. There is sub
stantial agreement however. that the
Italian front may in fact become the
main theater of war this year. Austro-
German concentrations and possible Of
fensives on that front may represent
the recognition of that view by the
German high command.
