SALE OF ALIEN PROPERTY.
Legislation Necessary TO Check Ger
man "Kultur".

Washington, March 7.-Legislation
enabling the government to place in
American hands permcntly great
German commercial and industrial
concerns in this country which have
been instruments lin SPREADING the
grip Of German kultur was, favorably
reported to the Senate today by the
appropriations committee. 1t is in
lthc form Of an amendment to the pend
ing urgent deficiency bill, empowering
the alien property custodian to soil
any enemy property taken over by his
Office.
The committee also approved anoth-
or amendment giving the President
authority recently asked for by him
to acquire by purchase or title the
grca; piers Of the lIamberg- American
and tho North German lloyd steam
ship lines at lIobolcn, N. J.
In statement today explaining the
purpose Of the now power sought, A.
Mitchell Palmer, the alien property
custodian, said:
Power under the law is restricted
now to cases where it is necessary to
sell in order to prevent waste and
protect property. The pronoscd amend
mcnts will largely extend this power
and make it possible for the alien pro-
pcrty custodian to convert into cash
enemy interests in this country
"'rhcrc is no thought or purpose OF
changing the character Of the ordinary
investment in America Of the cncmy
subjects residing in enemy territory
such investments will continue at
present, cXcapt when nccessa " to pre-
vent waste Or protect The property
when sales may take place
"If the amendments reported by
the Senate appropriations committee
shall become law the power Of sale
will only be exercised by the alien pro-
pcrty custodian in cases similar to
that Of the steamship lines where the
enemy ownership of great industrial
and commercial concerns in the Unit
cd States indicate close atiiliatiOn
with the financial and politicals DOW
crs in the enemy country

U. S. TROOPS TAKE
over WIDER FRONT
Americans Now Playing Big Part In
France, and Keep Huns Guessing
-"Big Push not Started.

London, February 18-As the time
for more active military operations
on the western front approaches the
American expeditionary force is Wild
ening its sphere of activity along the
front lines Not only do American
soldiers hold a sector Of the front east
of St. Mihiel, but American artillery
in helping the French in Cham
payne, and infantrymen, in company
with French units, are holding the
front lines in one of the most famous
battlefronts in the world.
1t is not disclosed where this front
Is, but it is described as being a
place where ruined villages and de-
vastated country tell of hard-fought
battle in which the Germans pushed
forward only to be driven back later
by the French. The Americans are
we'll equipped to deal with the enemy,
and their officers with difficulty re-
strain them from attacking the Ger
mans at every opportunity.
On the American sector especial
ly thea Germans have tried various
ruses in an endeavor to outwit the
newcomers in the battle line, but in
vain Raids have had no effect. The
enemy has tapped and destroyed tele-
phone lines; he has sent up false sig
mails, and has charged his wire en-
tanglements with electricity, but he
has been outmaneuvered each time.
Except for few small raids only
the artillery has been active at va
rious points on the British, French
and American fronts. British air
men have been intensely busy drop
ping bombs and downing enemy ma
chimes. Seventeen German airplanes
were brought down by the British Sat
urday and seven more disabled The
British losses were five.

AUsTRIANs WARN GERMANY


London, February 18--A deep, SER
ious schism has been created between
Germany and Austria-Hungary by the
termination OF the ,armistice between
the central powers and Russia and the
renewal OF q state OF war, according
to the Copenhagen correspondent OF
the Exchange Telegraph Company.
The Austrian press, continues the
correspondent, is warning Germany
against the reopening Of hostilities
In which Austria does not wish to
participate. The semi-ofiicial Frem-
denblatt Is silent, but the Neue Freie
Presse Is quoted as pointing out that
the Austrian monarchy no longer Dor
ders upon Russia, and Is not, like Ger
man, compelled to resume warfare.
The only thing Austria might do
against its will, says the newspaper, Is
to protect the free connection between
the monarchy and the Ukraine.
Die Zeit, which has intimate con-
nections with the Austro-Hungarian
Foreign Office, is reported by the cor
respondent as contending that Count
Czernin, the Foreign Minister, can
continue to act as a negotiator Will
the West. For our monarchy" 1t
says, "the war is in the mani finished
and for one of our antagonists 1t has
virtually not begun. Millions OF
thinking people now point to Count
Czernin and President Wilson," The
article concludes with a sentence
which the correspondent interprets as
being plainly addressed to Germany,
reading:
From our side the pre-disposition
to positive negotiations has never
been interrupted, and it is to be hoped
that the negotiations will not be in
terrupted from the other side"
