in the Senate. Mr.. Pomerere Of
OHIO led the indignation. It was suf-
hcient for all the purposes to which
ex post facto Indignation can be put
A remarkable fact Of the situation is
that Senator Pomerene. while entire
~ out OF the traces" as a Fuel Ad-
ministration Democrat, is shll claim
ed by the Food Administration,
which expects him to help In looking
up all who are not sufficiently meat
less and wheatless. Refusing to Co
ordinate for heatlessness, Senator
Pomerene said that the wonderful
Garfield order closed down Western
sawmills which we're burning their
own waste wood. A point he en-
phasized was that none Of the coal
which would have been used IN the
factories OF Ohio, Indiana, and
Illinois, was In demand for the navy
or for transports.
Before the Senate COMMITTEES Of
Manufactures, T. r. Barrett, repre-
senting the coal operators Of north
western PennsylEania, attributed the
trouble with coal distribution to
ear-shortage and the way transpor-
tation has been handled. Operators
may mine coal, but they cannot de-
liver It without cars. Senator Reed
assisted him in reducing the situa-
ton to this point Senator Varda-
mans questions brought out the In
formation that the witness knew. OF
no representative Of the public or the
consumer consulted in fixing coal
prices. He thought official habits
OF averaging" ruinous to all at the
wrong end Of the average.
A four days debate in the Senate
ended by referring the Naval Re
serve OIL Lands Bill to the Naval
Committee instead OF the Public
Lands Committee. This Is supposed
to give II a better chance against
those who do not think the Govern
ment should be permitted to pump
its own oil. even for its OWE naval
purposes, SO long as there Is a
benevolent monopolist left who
needs more oil bonds to endow uni
versities and subsldiZe intellectual
supermen.
The Senate Commerce Committee
heard more testimony on wooden
ships. The Senate passed two of the
committees bills, one for housing
and the other for zones around ship
yards. The testimony now being
taken shows the emergency feet In
much better shape than several
weeks ago, but impatient people may
be still more impatient before whole
sale launchings begin.
The line of cleavage between East
ern and Western railroads appeared
before the Senate Committee on
Commerce. Luther N. Walter, of
Chicago, attacked the great Eastern
systems. He quoted figures of their
war profits as if their satisfaction
with the Administration" bill vas

and short, which, running through

Paris, Sept. 14The American
arrny's maiden effort as an inde-
pendent force in the. world war is
regarded by the French press and
public as nothing less than a master
stroke. The further details that
have come through showing the ex-
tent Of the ground gained and the
great number of prisoners taken In
two days on relatively small front
have more than borne out the early
expectations and caused the opera
ton to be viewed in this light.
- me American army has gained a
genuine victory at high speed" says
Col De Thonagson, the military
critic, who pays tribute to the Am
ertcan. staff and troops for their
having in such brief time attain
ed the high standard of efficiency
they have displayed
To say that last nights official
report revealed an achievement far
in excess of what had been expect
ed, Is no disparagement of the Am
erican army but the moral effect in
France seems in consequence of this
to measure well up with the military
results attained.
The American soldiers now in
Paris are being Honized by the. peo-
pie OF the. city. who stop the men
on the streets and grip their hands
in congratulation over the victory.
In general the military commen-
tators prefer TO reserve judgment
of the full effects Of the offensive
until more ample details are avail
able and they are able TO see the
trend the operations are likely to
take.
Henri $Binou has something TO say
Of strategic matters, however. in
discussing the attack. The ST. Mihiel
salient, he points out, was Of great
importance as a. base for an enemy
drive and he thinks 1t is possible
that when the Germans attacked to-
ward Chalons July IS, they contem-
plated also throwing a column from
St Mihiel
If the Germans have decided to
abandon such a position, NJ. Bidou,
argues, it is a sign that the general
military situation forces them to
take the step after their withdrawal
from the Somme line and then from
that Of the Lys. This third retreat
he considers a serious symptom and
he po PITS out that whether or NOT.
the withdrawal to a shorter line was
voluntary, the operation cost the
Germans dearly.
The editorial writers are gener-
Gus in their praise OF the American
effort.
This operation says the Echo de
Paris does honor to the enterprIg-
ing spirit of the American leaders
and the incompatible ardor of their
troops"
The Petit Parisien says: .'fThe first
time the American army alone has
launched an offensive on a great
scale, but 1t Will not be the last.
From the showing it has made the
Germans have been able 10 see that
they have to reckon with ardent.

SUMMARY OF THE WAR
(Ry Associated Press.l

The Americans, after eliminating
the ST. Mihiel salient are continuing
their advance. From Pagny across
the Moseiie river from German ter
ritory, the new front extends in al
most a straight line TO the vicinity
of HattonviIIs where it advances
slightly toward the northwest 70
Fresnes. This reduction of the front
line from some 20 20 20 miles places

or on other fronts.
Having accomplished the task of

of the line is probable. The Ameri-'
cans at this stage of the drive com.
nand positions favorable for a df-
rect Invasion Of German territory,
If such a. course should be decided
upon. #..E
Although the important German
fortress of Metz ia in no immediate
danger, its outlying Notifications
are within range Of American heavy
guns at Paany. Metz itself turn
ishes an excellent target for allied
airmen who have already taken ad.
vantage OF the opportunity :, and
dropped many bombs on railway
city and vicinity. With it's strong
outer protection of fortifieations a
frontal attack on Metz could hardly
be expected, but an outflanking
movement by the An1erieanas on the
west, or by the French and Ameri-
cans from the south would force the
Germans TO evaeuate both the foI'ts
ress and the territory surrounding IT,
In their haste TO get out Of the
salient with as little loss of men
and military supplies as possible the
Germans left the railroad from Ver-
dun TO Conmercy, Tout sand Nancy

this line Of railway adds to the fac.

'handicap 20 the allies in the past,
In the fret few hours of their OPP
Grafton as a distinct unit the Amsri-
cans have driven the enemy out OF
some 80 villages many strongly
fortified positions prepared during
the four years of their occupation Of
the salient and captured more than
1900 prisoners and large quantities
of guns and other military material.
Prisoners are still coming TO the
rear and no attempt has yet been
made to estimate the quantity of
enemy supplies captured.
On other fronts the allies continue
their pressure against the German
lines. Cambrai and Sc. Quentin are
in danger of being outfianked by
the British and French. West of st.
Quentin French troops have oecupi-
ed the village of Savy and north
west OF the town the British have
gained ground after local fighting
with the enemy in which prisoners
were taken. The British also have
made progress southwest Of Lasas-
see and are pressing forward on
Auchy leg La Bassee. Further north
German attacks on new British posi-.
tions at Havrineourt were repuiaed
with heavy losses.
