GIVES COLONEL HOUSE PRAISE
Representative Flood Tells of Good
Work Done by Presidents En-
voy In Europe.

Washington, Feb. Gas result of
the work of Colonel House in Europe
the United States will furnish more
In men and means than was expected
Of us in far shorter time than had
been the fondest hope of our own peo-
pie or the nations associated with us
In the war;" Chairman Flood of the
foreign affairs committee told the
house. He opened debate on the dip
lomatic and consular appropriation bill
Colonel House carried to completion
the work begun In this country by
special allied war and diplomatic mis-
sions, Flood said The discussions In
Europe led to complete understanding
Of precisely what the allies needed and
exactly what this country could fur
nish and how soon.
The Japanese mission and the ex-
change of notes between Secretary
Lansing and Viscount Ishii removed
causes of friction and makes quite re-
mote the remote the possibility of trou-
BILE between this country and Japan"
Flood also said.

TO SPEED UP WAR WORK
Senator WadsWorth Urges Pass
age of Chamberlain Bill.
Friends of the Measure Believe the
President viii Change His Atti-
tude In the Matter.

Washington, Feb. 6.--The drive to
speed up and coordinate Americas
war work continues in full swing in
the senate. Senator Wadsworth of New
York, one of the most active Repub-
lican members Of the military affairs
committee, took his turn as the spoles-
man, urging passage of the Chamber
lain bills creating a war cabinet and
70 nzdnIIions dictator.
A T'showdown" on the Chamberlain
bills was still uncertain today. Neither
side seemed ready for test of
strength. The Chamberlain faction
adhered to the view that the bills were
gaining support every day not only In
congress but also throughout the coun-
try. They based this assertion on let
tiers and reports received from their
home states.
They declared their belief that when
the country Is made to see the neces-
sity for the measures, the president
would be forced to change his attitude
and accept the needed changes In the
war administration.

FEAR WORK OF ICE FL0Es
River Men Look for Disaster When
Mild Weather Begins to Open OBJ
structed Navigation.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 6.--Forty
miles of ice foes, released by the
breaking of the gorge at Richardson's
Landing, will soon be on its way down
the Mississippi river, river men here
declared today.
The advance foes of the ice began
surging past Memphis, 30 miles from
Richardson's landing today, and is
crushing and grinding against the
granite piers Of two bridges spanning
the Mississippi here. Thousands of
persons lined the river banks to watch
the spectacle Of the floating ice.
An army aviator, making a flight of
10 miles followed the river above
Memphis and reported observing much
wreckage caught In the ice. Several
wrecked boats have passed Memphis.
Up to noon no loss of life has been
reported, and so far reports indicate
only minor property losses up the
river

PRISONERS WANT mail.
Plant Made by American Cap
tiVes in German Camps.
Their Misery May Be Immensely Re.
leved If Those at Home VIII Rec
ognize the Situation.

New York, Feb. 6.-American pris-
oners In German camps are facing
hardships with unbroken spirits, but
are worried about their failure to re-
ceive mail from relatives In this coun-
try, according to letters in possession
OF the prisoner-of-war aid department
81 the hs.ss-sysss sszseesas-
ton. The letters sent to e. g. VIII
son, associate secretary, recently re-
turned to this country after spending
two years in war work in Europe,
were made public here last night.
Barnaby Boyle is known officially as
American Prisoner of War No. l. He
claimed to have gone through the Sit
ting Bull campaign and the Spanish
war without a scratch and to have met
misfortune when he turned sailor.
Probably the youngest American held
as prisoner of war is Henry r. Hen
dren, sixteen years old, in a prison
camp at Lubbock, Germany.
81 wish you would kindly notify my
mother of my whereabouts" he said.
81 have written to her several times,
but have not received a reply. The
address is 210 Maple avenue, Berkeley,
Norfolk, Va"
One of the most human letters Of
the batch of 100 was from wife who
lives in East Boston, Mass, to her
husband In a prison camp in Germany.
He asked the Y. M. G. A. to find out
why she did not write. Here Is part
Of what she wrote:
"If you have not received the letter
1 sent before, will have to tell you
again that a beautiful baby daughter
was born to us April 26, 1917. had
her baptized the name Of Mary. I had
her pose for her picture especially to
send you. I don't suppose you re-
ceived that, either.
"Mary is a beautiful baby. I could
write a book about all the cute things
she does; and, can you believe, Tom,
she is sitting up by herself and wear
! ing soft shoes, and only four months
old at present. She has black hair and
blue eyes like myself, but I can see
you in her smile.
"She has head shaped like yours,
and her hands are the very shape of
yours. l know you would be wild
about her if you could only see the
dear. She is such a comfort to me.
love and kiss her for you"
II would like a little soap very
much, please" wrote Walter w. Per-
kins of Wichita, Kan. He requested
that his mother, Mrs. Bette Reynolds
of Wichita, be notified Of his where
abouts.

MAKE GERMAN

American ArtiIIerymen Frustrate
Plans Enemy Had Made
for Heavy Attack.
HOLD LINES AGAINST ODDS
For Determination and GaIIantry the
"Boys In Blue" Have Proved Them
selves Worthy Descendants of
Their Famous Sires.

With the American Army in France,
Feb. 6.-German plans to raid the
American trenches were frustrated
yesterday. The American artillery
men put down heavy barrage in
front Of and on the German lines,
which are believed to have been filed
with men and officers awaiting the sig
nal OF attack.
1t was discovered that the Germans
intended to carry out "silent" raid.
Fifteen minutes before the time set
all the American guns concentrated
their fire where, according to the in
formation, the enemy was massed. It
Is believed many casualties were in
fiicted on the Germans.
There has been general increase
In the artillery activity for the last
day or so all along the American front.
The Germans are still unable to ocen-
py the first-line trenches which we're
caved In by the American artillery fire.
They now have constructed another
line of trenches at that point.
Inspect SheIled Trenches.
American patrols have worked their
way over No Mans Land and inspect
ed the damaged trenches as well as
they could.
The Germans are using gas shells
freely, and endeavored to envelop one
of our battery positions with gas, but
without success. They have dropped
a number of shells In the roads behind
the American lines.
Two men were reported wounded By
shnlla
The Visibility remains bad.
Fuller reports from the first line
show that great courage was exhib-
tied by the troops during the heavy
German bombardment Saturday. A
number Of men who were wounded
slightly by shell splinters were treated
In the lines with their first-aid packets
and insisted on remaining at their
posts until the fight was finished.
Leaves Hospital to Fight.
One man who was carried to a field
dressing station returned to his COM
rades In the line after his wounds had
been attended to, and remained on
duty until the firing ceased and the
danger was over. All the men later
went to a hospital for full treatment.
Many Of the Americans have had
their first experiences with gas In the
last few days, as the Germans have
been sending over considerable num-
Der of gas shells.
The chief Of staff of one division
and another staff officer who were mo-
toring to village back of the lines
came upon several companies, all the
men In masks. The officers hurriedly
put on their own masks and rode on
toward the front line. At the next
village the men were wearing masks.
Find the Men Shooting Craps.
The officers kept theirs on until they
saw, through a shell hole in the side Of
a brick wall, twenty infantrymen with
no masks on, rolling dice as If nothing
had happened.
The sector occupied by the Ameri-
can troops is northwest of Toul. 1t is
inadvisable to mention the number of
men in line, the length of the sector
and other details. The location of the
sector was kept secret until 1t became
certain that the enemy had discov-
cred 1t.

spicuous feature of the German news
papers.
"The next six months will be the de-
Gliding PERIOD" says the Frankfurter
Zeitung. During that eminently i'm
portant period the central powers will
with absolute certainty have the STRAIT
egic superiority, for the hopes Of
the entente for American help cam
not possibly be fulfilled within that
time.
"The central powers will concen-l
trate their whole strength on the west
front for decisive blow. French soil,
those fertile, fiourishing fields which
have already suffered cruelty and have
drunk such rivers of blood, will be the
scene of final struggle which will
far surpass the iercest struggles of
the last year.
IF we do not share the light-heart-
edness with which the problem of
American military help is often set
aside, we also consider it certain that
the United States cannot In the next
few months increase the very great
morale and economic support which
they have given the allies"

BOY SCOUTS WILL
 ASSIST THRIFT MOVEMENT
Planned to Use Them Extensively in
 House to House canvasses.

It is expected that the Boy Scouts will play an exceedingly active part in the thrift movement which is now under way in Connecticut under the direction of Howell Cheney, state di- rector for the national war savings committee. Heads of the Boy Scouts in this state have offered their ser vices to MT. Cheney, and it is expect d that the boys will be able to ren- der exceedingly valuable service.
 It is planned to use the Scouts ex- tensively in the house to house can- vases which will soon be undertaken in every city and town in the state. Mass meetings for boys will be held everywhere It is intended not only to train the boys to sell stamps, but also to have them buy as many thrift stamps and war savings certificates as their means will allow. It is ex- pected that an appeal will be sent out to all the scouts in the state to the erect that the boys of 1917 should snow the same patriotism as their ancestors in the war of 1776 They will be asked to go on record as do- ing everything in their power to bring victory to this country in the present war with Germany.
 MT. Cheney also plans to extend this campaign to the Campfire Girls and other similar organizations of young women. These will be asked to bear every bit as heavy a respon- sibility in the movement as the boys and it is expected that considerable rivalry will result
