 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. Feb. 20.-The Germans again attempted a raid against the American lines last night, but the raid CTS were discovered and the artillery, responding Co rocket signals, laid down a heavy barrage almost instantly. The Germans path back to their line was marked by red lines.
 During the night machine gun bullet killed an American private.
 Enemy planes flew over the entire position repeatedly today. One Ameri- can machine in a dash over an enemy trench sprayed it with machine gun bullets.
 For several days the Germans have been concentrating artillery of various calibres opposite the American posi- ti0ns They now have twice the num- ber of guns as when the Americans first took the sector and between 800 and l,2O0 shells are being fired at the American positions, when at first there was hardly 150.
 American artillery men continue their practice of sending the enemy at least two or three shells for one. Enemy artillery during the last 24 hours paid particular attention to towns and bat tery positions, firing hundreds of shells on them. Three soldiers wounded were the only casualties from the shell fires.
 American shells have been dropped on enemy works and have cut the enemy wire tO pieces in many places.

much desired.
 That we gave very much consider ation indeed to Polish interests is clear from the form of stipulations detailing frontier lines, only in a general way reserving detailed de- markation for a commission. Further, the negotians which the Austro- Hungarian government, in accord with the German government. con- ducted with the Ukraine resulted in making it clear that the paragraph about the definite demarkation of frontier lines can be interpreted in a much more ample manner and that in this way the ethnographical sit- uation and the desires of the popula- tion can receive most far reaching consideration.
 "A projected commission will in- clude not only the representatives of the allies (Teutonic), but also Polish delegates. We have done everything possible to attain just demarkation

AUTO THIEF TAKEN
 IN ACT IF THEFT

James Peek. recently from Seattle, living with his parents at 1917 West Adams, was arrested by the police early this morning, a few minutes after Dr. Shornick had reported, the theft of his light Buick six roadster from Thir- teenth avenue and Washington street. Young Peek had driven the car into the downtown district and was pro- ceeding north on Central avenue when observed by one of the officers who had started on search. Peek drove over Mckinley street to First avenue, and after rounding the turn at First avenue turned out the lights and at tempted to hide by dropping to the bottom of the car.
 Dr. Shornick was making a call at the home of a patient. He heard his motor start and reached the door of his patients house in time to see his car disappearing down the street toward town. He called the police at once and the arrest of young Peek was accomplished within a very few minutes thereafter.

other complication resulted in the res- ignation of numerous competent fore men, who returned to subordinate posi- tions in the shops because they could make more money.
 Reasons for congested traffic were sought by the commission in discus sion of shop wages and conditions. The operating officials said the weather was responsible.
 Right Up to Date"
 NIT. McBain said the New York Gen. tral now was right up to date" with engine repairs and had maintained its power throughout the winter.
 From December 1 to February 1, the average rating of our engines that is the load they are expected to pull un der normal conditions was reduced from 35 to 50 per cent" he said. Tn ability to maintain the engine rating was due entirely to the weather. We had ordered additional locomotives for last fall, but government orders de- layed delivery six to eight months and they just now are beginning to come in. All operating officials worked from fifteen to twenty hours a day during the most of the congestion. It was the siperhuman effort on the part of the
  going as well as they did"
 Mir. McBain said his road had furn- ished power to four subsidiary lines and had number of engines of other lines in it's repair shops. MT. Tollerton said the Rock Island was taking many engines of eastern roads to repair He said there was no congestion on west ern roads to repair. He said there was no congestion on western roads except around Chicago where difficulty of transferring cars to eastern lines caused them to back up" on the west ern tracks.
 Not Due to Western Lines
 Then the condition which caused federal control were not due to condi- tions on the western roads," asked MT. Lane.
 Not that I know of," Mir. Tollerton replied.
 The question of women in railroad work again interested the commission. C. M. Conklin of the New York, New Haven and Hartford said women have been engaged largely to replace men joining the colors, and that the New Haven has opened school to teach women telegraphy and the duties Of passenger and freight agents.
 Mir. McBain said the New York Gen. tral employs 96 women in the motive power department and 100 women in the storage department the latter be- ing used to sort scrap iron. The New York Central has established a rule since the war began that no clerical position shall be filled by appointment of man if a woman is available.
 Detailed wage schedules, which the officials said showed substantial in- creases since 1916, were filed with the commission.
 It is expected that the hearings will be concluded tomorrow.

 No part of the document can be pub- lished, the secretary explained, for the reason given by MT. Lloyd George in his speech yesterday enthusiastically praising the American plan. MT. Lloyd George said the only reason he did not read it to the house was that it was mixed up with the plan of operations. "

BAKER SPEAKS WITH
 NOTE OF CONF F|DENCE
[ Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20-Secretary Baker, in his weekly commnique is- sued today, regards the impending German offensive on the western bat tle line with note Of confidence.
 Both the allies and the Germans, he says, after extensive preparations, silently and systematically carried on, are ready for battle.
 By massed attacks of shock troops, especially drilled and unanswered for weeks for the onslaught, Secretary Baker says. in agreement with expert military opinion abroad the German general staff hopes to smash through.
 But the secretary of war points out that the German high command must realize it will encounter far more diff ficult tactical obstacles than any other attacking army has hitherto encoun- tered. Apparently the secretary, with much information at hfs command, which cannot be given to the public, shares the opinion of the allied ex- perts that the line will withstand any German shock against it.
