enemy by prior agreement among tho
countries lighting the central powers.
Colonel House will be in O position to
learn these separate views and perhaps
to reconcile apparently conflicting inter-
ests and desires.
Place at Council Table.
Later Colonel House may take a place
ut the council table If President Wilson
desires. The President has a vote in the
council in the disposition of political
matters, and it Is regarded as possible
that he may delegate this power 10
Colonel House. 1t has been suggested
that the use Of the term vote" In con-
nection with the proceedings Of tho
council Is misleading. What Is meant Is
rather voice in the proceedings. fer
there is to be no voting in the ordinary
sense: no question OF ma1oritieS or
minorities. The members are charged
to breach freely for discussion any sub
jects they please, and If any line OF
action Is deemed necessary each repre-
sentative will notify his own govern
mont OF the general sense of the council
and It will be for the home governments
to give tho necessary instructions for
any change in policy.
Admiral Bensou's Status.
Admiral BenSonS status DINERS from
that of Colonel House IN that he pre-
scnts himself at Versailles in his capac-
ity as the ranking officer Of the Ameri-
can navy. and consequently probably
will be welcomed as an expert and au-
thority by the technical members OF the
council. No ono knows the extent OF
tho powers with which he has been
clothed BY the President or Secretary
Daniels, but 1t is assumed he can give
any orders necessary to carry out the
naval phases of an arnistice that ts
agreed upon, SO far as It may be neces-
sary to affect the American naval forces
in European waters.
The official copies Of President Will
sons latest response to the German
notes, together with the correspondence
incident thereto, making in all eleven
separate communications, were not de-
| llvered by cable to the entente govern
| ments until today. or course London
Paris and Rome already were in posses
| sion of the unofficial text Of the notes
as received through the press and BY
radio, but these were not sufficient upon
| which to base official action.

WESTERN FRONT
(continued from Page one.)

From a day Of extraordinarily severe
fighting, the Americans emerged to-
night slightly in advance OF the posi-
lions they held yesterday. The gains
made are slight, but are regarded as
extremely excellent. especially on the
left, where higher ground dominating
much Of the surrounding terrain has
GAINED.
There has been comparatively little
alteration in the positions on the CEN
ter, but the American footing In Bel
lcau woods cast of the Mouse was moro
securely fixed. notwithstanding the de-
tern1ined efforts of the Germans to force
the Americans back.
TIL. fighting for positions just beyond
Bclleau woods began at four o'clock this
morning when the Americans drove
their way forward. At daylight tho
Gcrmaus counter attacked and since the
failure of that operation have launched
three other attacks equally unsuccesS-
fully.
On the extreme left the gains made
by the Americans left them at the close
OF the day on the ridge extending from
Talma farm to Belle joyeusc form. on
line through the BourgoBnc woods.
Clouds and ground mist reduced aerial
activity 20 n minimum. but artillery
employing high explosives and gas pro-
jectiles in enormous quantities was
used BY both sides. Besides the artl-
| lcry reaction Mt points where the or
/ fensive was in progress. the Germans
devoted much fire TO the hack areas and
that portion Of the front about Vile.

Great Achievement,

WASHINGTON. eOct. 26.-Details Of
the achievement of the navy department
In making available for use on the west
ern front Of tho great naval guns which
press dispatches have reported to the
hammering OF the German railway CEN
ters back Of the Oisc-Serre front. were
made public tonight by Secretary Dan
icls.
The. naval guns. which have been In
operation since September Is. were or
iginally intended for new battle cruisers
but change in the design OF the ves-
sells left tho guns unavailable for that
use. Rear Admiral Earle, chief OF the
navy bureau Of ordnance. recommended
that tho gums bc sent to the Western
front
Tho guns werr manned and operated
by officers and men OF the United States
navy under command Of Rear Admiral
Plunkctt. The first party Of officers and
men to handle the guns arrived in
France June .. the first shipment OF
material left this country June 20 and
the entire organization was ready to
move to the battle front late in August
The guns are said to throw heavier
projectilc and have q greater muzzle
velocity than any weapon ever placed on

Of the explosive used with each projcc-
tile is many times greater than that
used in the freak German long range
guns. and in point Of their destructive

PIans standard Wage.

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Stand-
ardization of wages of common ami
unskilled labor to halt the enormous
labor turnover that is slowing up war
work throughout the country was
under consideration today by the de-
partment of labor.
Such move is essential to equal
distribution of the present labor sup
ply, officials of the department say,
because of varying wage rates and in
equality of houring conditions.
Under the standardization wage
plan, a carpenter. for instance. would
get the same wage in California as in
New Jersey. This would aHtomatical-
ly take away the temptation to large
groups of men to concentrate in one
district at the expense of others.
