ALLIES PLAN DRIVE?
DECISION NOW RESTS WITH THE
WAR COUNCIL.
Will Pool Army Reserves and Deliver
Blows at Various Places and
Confuse Enemies.

Washington, March 21.-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 offensives by the allies rests
with that body.
1t directly controls, also, officials
here believe, a new weapon forged
during the winter with which to make
effective it's plans of grand strategy.
That weapon is believed to lie in q
pooling of the army reserves of all
the allied armies, permitting over
whelming concentrations at selected
points of attack.
American observers now are con-
vinced the German high command
plans a defensive campaign, and that
the long-talked of drive on Paris or
the channel ports has been abandoned.
The initiative, according to this view,
rests with the allied and American
forces.
COMMUNICATES are being closely
scanned for the first indication of any
offensive operations mapped out at
Versailles.
The supreme council was created
under the urgent insistence Of Presi-
dent Wilson for aggressive action this
year, based on co-ordinated plans and
under the direction Of a single agency.

U. S. SHIP SEXES RAIDER
Manned With Alderman Crew
Taken to Pacific Port.

A Pacific Port, March 25.-With a
captured German. raider in tow, a
United States cruiser reached this
port Sunday. The captured vessel is
the Alexander Agassiz, for several
years in the service of biological in
stitute at La Jolla, Cal. The capture
was made, it is said, last Tuesday off
Mazatlan, Mex. The Alexander Agas-
siz carries an alderman crew and
had been QUILTED for service as a
raider on Pacific commerce. The
Agassiz was sold to the Pacific Trad
ing company. Although comparative
ly small, the Agassiz is said to have
been capable Of sinking any merchant
ship in the Pacific. One report indi-
Gates that the raider was Quilted in
Mexico.
Washington, March 25.-The navy
department issued this statement:
''The navy department announced
that a small American vessel, the
Agassiz, which sailed from a west
Mexican port, has been seized at sea
and taken to Pacific port for investi-
cation.

HAD NOT DEPARTED ALONE
Fake Telephone Call May Have Scared
Tramp, but He Had Retained His
Business Faculties.

Representative Edward w. Saunders
of Virginia remarked at social gath
ering that foxy schemes do not always
pan out the expected results, and told
this story as an illustration:
1.-TWO men were having a gabfest
over lunch table recently when one
told of an experience he had just had
with a tramp.
He came to my house, said the
man, impudently banged on the kitch-
en- door, walked in and demanded
something to eat. Right there decid-
ed to give him the scare of his life.
Going into the next room, liberated
an alarm clock and pretended to cali
up the police station, and told them
over the imaginary wire to hurry down
to my house and arrest hobo. When
I returned to the kitchen the tramp
was gone
"I ssee,' laughingly interjected the
other. The fake telephone started
him.
Yes returned the first, little sad
~, he was gone with two of my coats,
one hat and enough silverware that
was lying around loose to start quick

GUN RECALLS AIR TORPEDO
Reported Long Distance Smelling
Paris Recalls Missile With Range
of 500 Miles.

New York, March 25.-The reported
long-range bombardment Of Paris re-
calls the story printed on March II of
an aerial torpedo which the inventor,
a Philadelphia, claims has range of
500 miles. The inventor Is Letter p.
Barlow, who has already invented an
anti-submarine depth bomb used with
marked effect against U-boats. Mr..
Barlow says his aerial torpedo is even
more effective than his anti-submarine
bomb, and is, in fact, "the most ter
ribly destructive engine Of warfare
that the world has ever SEEM"
Mr.. Barlow Is quoted in the article
as saying that General Squier was
shown the plans Of the torpedo six
weeks ago.
''It carries more than half ton Of
the highest explosive that can be man
ufactured," the article quotes the In
ventor. ut has a range of 500 miles
and Is positive in going to its target"

BIG SHIP STRIKE is ENDED
Six Hundred Workers Who Quit at
Baltimore Return After Being
Out One Day.

Baltimore, Nd, March 21.-The 800
shipworkers who laid down their tools
at the Baltimore Dry Dock and Ship
building company plant here on Mon
day returned to work on Wednesday.
Local No. 35, boiler-makers, iron
ship builders and helpers, issued a
statement announcing that the lay
off was due to a misunderstanding of
the wage adjustment board scale, but
that it had been properly explained at
a meeting last night and the men had
voted unanimously to return to work.
Leaders deny that they received any
message from the shipping board in
ducing them to resume work.

Huns Pay Fearful Price for
Gains-Haig Wins Back
Ground.
FOE TAKES 16, 600 CApTIvEs?
Berlin Claims Capture of Large Num-
Der of Prisoners-kaiser Using
100000 Men and Thousands of
Guns in Greatest Battle.

London, March 25.-Reuter's CORE
spondent at British headquarters
wires:
"The whole thing is too big to be
able even to sketch or visualize easily.
Thus far the enemy has paid colos-
sal price for such small gains as rep
resent the fruits of his mighty effort. :
The great battle on the western
front continues, the war office reports.
The British are holding the enemy.
Sixteen thousand prisoners and 200
guns have been captured by the Ger
mans, according to a German Official
communication received by wireless.
In a battle that has rivaled in feroc-
ity any that has preceded it during
three and half years Of warfare the
British, on 5O-mile front, have with
stood a great German offensive in its
initial stages.
AS the result of the struggle on
Cambria, where the fighting was ap-
parently hottest, the British line has
nowhere been broken and Field Mar
shall Haigs men have inflicted fright
full casualties on the enemy.
There is no data upon which it is
possible to estimate the success at
tanned by the Germans to the south,
but names of towns where the armies
were battling on Friday show that on
the northern side of the salient the
Germans bent the British line back
about two and a half miles.
1t was reported that st. Ledger was
the scene Of hard struggle and that
DiOgnies had been retaken by the Brit
ish. These points are about four kilo-
meters, or 2.48 miles, back of the
British lines as they stood before the
attack began. Berlin claims that Brit
ish first line positions from Arras to
La Fere were captured.
Forty divisions, or about 100000
TeutOnic troops are in the fight. The
total number of cannon the Germans
are employing cannot be estimated,
but unofficial >reports say that there
were 1000 guns on one small sector.
Austrian and Bulgarian troops have
made their appearance.
The attack was launched under the
eyes of Emperor William, Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg and General
Ludendorff
British Army Headquarters in
France, March 25.-The Germans con-
tinued their assault against the posi-
tons in the Cambria sector, notably
in the region of Croisilles and Hargin-
court.
On the southern battlefield bitter
struggle was waged. One of the most
brilliant British counter-attacks oc-
Cured at Doignies. The British adj
vanced with infantry and tanks at Z
p. m, and after fierce fighting drove
out the enemy.
Vigorous counter-attacks restored
several of the positions which the Brit
ish had abandoned temporarily.
The Germans in many sections at
tackled in three waves Of infantry, fol-
lowed up by shock troops. AS re-
suit they suffered very heavy casual
ties.
The heavily massed German artil-
lery has bene badly punished.

MAY VETO $3.50 WHEAT
Reported at Washington That Presi-
dent Will Insist That Old Price
Stand.

Washington, March 25.-President
Wilson will insist on elimination Of the
senate proposal to raise the price Of
wheat from 1920 to $3.50, it was said.
If the bill is reported out Of confer
ence with this provision retained, it
was indicated the president will veto
the measure on the ground that it
would upset the work Of nearly a year
in stabilizing the price Of bread. The
presidents opposition is understood
to be based on the belief that to fix
a disproportionate price for wheat will
discourage corn raising and threaten
starvation Of hogs on the farms.
