Washington, d. G., Feb. 21.-Secra.

German offensive on the western bat
tie line with note of confidence.
Both the allies and the Germans, he
says. after extensive preparations ST.

BY lnassed attacks of shock troops,
specially 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.
Huns to Run Into Wall
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 his command
which cannot be given to the public

NEW WAR BOARD
BILL NJ AY PASS,

Notifications in Bill Confer Little
j., New Authority on the
70. Chief Executive
SATISFIED

Washington, d. c., Feb. 21.-Early
compromise in the senate on legisla-
ton for further coordination and re-
organization of the governments war
making agencies appeared in sight last
night as a res ult of negotiations, be-
tween democratic and republican lead
ers for revision of the Overman bill,
which would give President Wilson
greater freedom Of action.
Amendments virtually agreed upon
promise largely to harmonic differ
ences, alay republican opposition to
secure support in the senate from all
sides except the group of senators un:
alterably insisting upon the military
committees bills for a war cabinet
and !, munitions director. ~, President
Wilson was said to have no objection
to the, changes proposed and TO-
day it is expected that the senate ju'
dietary committee, headed, by Senator
Overman, will redraft the bill.
.a., No New Authority s.. 2 r.
AS it is proposed to amend the
measure, the president would not be
given any new substantiate authority,
and provisions in the Overman which
republicans. have IT. regarded as con-
fering new and too broad powers upon
the president are to be eliminated.
The amendments, however, would re-
tain the principal provisions authoriz-
ing the president to- transfer depart
ments, bureaus, commissions and
other agencies and their personnel as
he might deem necessary to effect
greater, coordination and efficiency in
prosecuting the war. 1t is proposed to
strike out a clause giving the presi-
dent power ''to employ by executive
order any additional agency or agen-
cies and to vest therein the perfor.
nance Of such functions as he may
deem Appropriate thereby limiting the
executives authority to make changes
in existing rexigencies and without
power to create any new ones.
81 H Another Compromise
Another compromise amendment
proposed would allow, the president
to transfer appropriations made by
congress from one federal agency to
another, but only for use in, connec-
ton with the purpose specifically
authorized by congress in making the
appropriation. IL. ga ,s1,-a &.
Sen. verman said yesterday that
as the bill is becoming better under
stood opposition is waning, and con-
fidently predicted Il that. with the
changes proposed, the bill will be re-
ported out probably next week, and
secure substantial majority in the
senate ~ -.t. MI
When the measure was first sent to-
the capitol by the president, virtually
as substitute for the war cabinet
and munitions minister bills, there
were general predictions that it would
die in the committee.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1918-02-21

OF the shipping board have shown a
steady upward trend. Officials think
that from now on, new factors will
aid rather than retard the efforts to
put more ships into service. Chief OF
these will be the restriction Of I'M
ports, made effective February 1G. AS
more ships are needed, they will be
withdrawn from the neutral trade and
commerce with those countries cur
tailed to that extent.
Officials declined to say what was
the dominating factor in checking the
declino in available tonnage, though
it is well known that optimistic Opin-
ions are held regarding the anti-sub-
marine campaign. Despite labor
troubles, confidence is expressed that
the goal 100000 tons OF shipping will
be built in this country this year.

MILFORD GRANGE

Last Saturdays meeting was an in
teresting one. Mr.. A. B. Peet had been
invited to give his views on what
crops the farmer can grow this year
that will give any adequate financial
results, and also serve a patriotic pur-
pose. He reviewed the various crops
ordinarily raised in Delaware, several
of which do not seem to be practical
bic this year because of low prices
compared with high costs.
A general discussion was held, views
being freely expressed, and some ex-
cellent ideas brought out. The coal
requested from the Fuel Administra-
ton for the use of the poultry men,
has been shipped and Purchasing
Agent Phillips is compiling a list of
those who desire to order feeds, as it
seems probable that such supplies can
also be obtained through the same
means.
On Saturday evening. March 18th,
at o'clock, the st. Patrick's Day COM
mittee, Messrs. Hammond, Pierce and
will entertain the Grange
members. Each lady is to provide a
box lunch sufficient for two persons.
The evening will be most enjoyable
as indicated by present plans, and
large attendance is expected.
