CONGRESS NEVER GAVE
 AUTHORITY, HUGHES
Makes Contention That Power of President to Seize Cables Endured oinIy During Period of Actual Hos tilities and Not Beyond

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-In authoriz- ing President Wilson to take over the nations cable lines. congress intended such seizure to be made ''only~in case of impending danger to the national security" and not "at any time during the existence of a mere technical state of war" declared Charles E. Hughes, counsel for the Commercial Cable and Commercial Pacific Cable companies. in federal court here to- day.
 Mr Hughes made this contention while arguing before Judge Hand on the motion of the United States gov ernment to dismiss the bill Of com plaint an a suit brought by the two companies to enjoin Postmaster Gen erai Burleson and Newcomb Carlton from merging their lines under federal control with those of the Western Union Telegraph company. of which Carlton is head.
 At one point, in reply to a ueqstion of Judge Hand as to whether ''the se- curity of defense of the nation does not depend on achievement of the Ob- jects for which the war was fought" and not on the mere termination of fighting. Mir Hughes said:
 T think what may be achieved. in the sense of the final results of the war. will probably not be terminated during our lifetime. I think that con Eress had no reference to the national security in the sense of the absolute establishment of some conditions. Congress had in mind an actual state of applied force"
 Previously counsel for the govern ment. who contended that the United States is the vital defendant and can not be made party to the suit. had challenged that part Of the bill of complaint in which it is asserted that seizure of said cables on the ground that they were or are necessary for the national foundation or basis in faCt."
 This imputed deception to the president, declared Edward F. Nc ClennOn, special assistant to Attorney General Gregory.

there greater opportunities for investment, or more projects demanding prompt atten- ton. Nothing has ever happened and, ap- parently nothing could ever happen, to re- veal more completely than has the war the immense resources of the country. Within dozen years 1t was thought won drous thing that the United States, without disturbing its business routine, could ex- pend few hundred million dollars upon the construction of an isthmian canal. The cost of the Panama undertaking was only as drop in the bucket compared with the expenditures of the nation upon the war For fifteen years 1t has been notorious that the reconstruction of the country's rail way system had become necessity. Ten years ago James J. Hill estimated that, at that time, the cost of rehabilitating the rail ways of the United States would not be less than 0,0000O0, and the public and the press alike were appalled, by the figures. The construction of waterways, the control of flood waters, the development of hydro electric power, the speedier reclamation of flooded and desert areas, even the opening of Alaska, have been all deferred interrup- ted or delayed on the ground of cost. Any one of the loans raised by the people dur ing the last two years would have covered the probable expenditures upon all of these undertakings combined.
 Statesmanship of comprehensive order has handled the affairs of war, on behalf of the United States, since April, 1917. Not the question of cost, but the point of need was considered in every undertak ing. The country was prepared to go along for years at the same rate of expendi- ture, if necessary There are now awaiting attention number of projects for the bene- fit of the nation to which prompt and equal ly liberal support should be given. Not one of these necessarily calls for extravagant outlay
 The new United States Is subject to which the best thought of the country may well be turned Not only upon material, but upon intellectual, lines Is there oppor- tunity for tremendous improvement. Mir. Lane, the secretary of the interior, and Mr. Wilson, the secretary of labor, following in the way of hundreds of observers and thinkers have shown in their last reports how easily great improvements might be undertaken for the advancement of the people, and how necessary it is that they shall be undertaken It is not enough that the new United States shall be rich and prosperous; it should be nation of edu- cated, cultivated, right-thinking, happy people and expenditures that will make for such condition ought to be on large scale where resources are practically un- limited.

new BLOW
Attacks Near Arras or In
Scarpe or Marne Sectors Pre-.
saged by Violent German
Bombardments.

The attempted drive by the
armies of the German crown
prince towards Paris seems
definitely to Nave been
checked. With thousands of
their men having been fed to
the guns on the Montdidier-No-
yon and Soissons-Villers Cot
terets sectors in the mad rush
to pierce the allied lines in
these regions and thus gain a
fairway to the French capital,
the maneuvers of the German
commanders apparently have
brought to the German arms
nothing more than the oblitera-
ton of the Noyon salient and
the capture of a few unimpor-
tant positions southwest of Sois-
sons near the outskirts of the
Villers Cotterets forest.
Friday, the sixth day Of the offens-
i've between Noyon and Montdidier
witnessed only small local actions.
Less than three days was required
Hby the allies to. bring the enemy to q
virtual halt south of the Aisne.
Main Effort Calmly Awaited.
The feeling still prevails in military
circles in France that the main effort
Of the Germans has not yet been
launched, and speculation is rife as to
when it will come and what the gcr-
eral objective will be--whether Paris
or the channel ports. 1t is known

sian front. II
The armies of General Foch, how-
ever, everywhere are watchful and OF
such strength and good morale as to
lead to the belief that no matter where
the enemy chooses to oppose them,
they will be able to give a splendid
account Of themselves.
Seemingly it is hot improbable that
Field Marshal Haig's forces will be
asked again to measure their strength
against the Germans, and that the
territory near Arras. or in the Scarpc
sector or before both positions, may
be chosen BY the Germans as the
theater. In both these sectors the
German guns again are working with
the violence that generally presages
an attack.
American Lines Under Fire.
In the Marne sector there is al
most continuous artillery activity in
the region OF Chateau Thierry, where
Americans are fighting beside the
French. On the other sectors of the
front comparative quiet prevails.
American, British and French
continue to carry out aerial operations
above and behind the enemy lines.
American ;;;77inen have participated in
the bombing assaults and returned

were heavily shelled by anti-aircraft

HUN OFFENSIVE
AGAIN BROUGHT
TO STANDST|LL
LuII Presages More Violent
Storm Of Attack on Allied
Lines, Military Opinion
at Washington.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 14,-The Ger
man offensive has been brought. to
standstill, ior the present at least,
according to the view of French mill
tary observers as expressed in, an Of
ficial dispatch received today from
Paris.
The present lull on the battle front
in France only presages a new and
more violent storm of attack on the
allied lines in military opinion here.
Belief has never wavered among
the majority Of officers here that the
real purpose of the German general
staff has been from the first to cut
the allied armies apart by drive
that would carry them to the chan
mel; that, arrived at that goal, mass
ed attacks would be hurled against
the northern sector for the purpose
Of destroying the British army, while
a strsng defense was maintained
against the French to the south. The
thrusts at Paris have been looked up
on as we'll planned and executed
feints designed to weaken the Amiens
front before the final effort should
be made there.
American Aid Comes Swiftly.
Some observers believe further ef-
forts are to be expected to flatten
out the Compiegne salient complete
" before the main attack is resumed.
If SO, they argue, the next flare of
activity will come along the front OF
the Compiegne salient where the
fighting has just paused momentarily.
Other observers are almost con-
vlnced, however, that the situation
not only permits, but demands, that
the enemy's main attack be pressed
without delay, as American aid is
coming forward more swiftly than
the Germans possibly could have es-
timated would be the case. Accord.
ing to official announcements, ap-
proximately half million American
soldiers have landed in France since
the German drive began. One ele-
ment OF General Pershing's mobile
forces, by direction Of General Foch,
guards the way at the apex OF the
whole German wedge near Montdl-
dier. Cantigny, recently recaptured
from the Germans by these forces,
is very close to the point Of maximum
penetration achieved BY the enemy
in nearly three months desperate
fighting.
Stiffen Allied Line.
Members of the house military
committee at their weekly war de-
partment conference today were told
the stream of Americans steadily,
moving to the front had resulted in
noticeable stiffening of the whole
allied line. The Germans, it was said,
apparently had encountered greater
numerical strength than they expect
ed to oppose their third great drive,
and had suffered heavier losses than
they probably had anticipated,
