that he wishes to work for the con-

This Is an Off year in the election Of
a president, so the national republican
committee has decided to turn its at
tention to aiding Chairman Woods
workers in unseating n sufficient num-
Der of democrats to insure the balance
of power for republicans In the next
congress.
Optimism seems to be the keynote Of
the republican leaders when looking
toward future days in congress Many
Of them confidently expect President
Wilson to issue statement before the
present session Of congress Is over
calling for the reelection of all men,
bers Of congress who have supported
the war without regard to politics. 1t
Is said this expected act Of the presi-
dent Is one reason why some republican
congressman are unwilling to commit
to war cabinet legislation
or to any legislation that does not have
the administration approval
It is pointed out that circumstances
will practically compel Mr.. Wilson to
take this non-partisan position which
republican members expect. The pres
ent holse is about evenly divided be-
tween the two major parties. 1t was

sold at 50 cents to a dollar per bushel.

BIG u. S. DRIVE
MAY MENACE
RHINE WORKS
American Offensive Likely to
Compel Germany to Lessen
Forces Around St. Quentin
= BY the United Press


LAUGHING of Americas drive in the
Toul sector where probably million
Yanks are concentrated. may mean the
beginning Of Pershing's forecast cam
paign of destruction against the Ger
man Industrial centers on the Rhine.
While awaiting full details Of the
new offensive to determine whether or
not 1t is destined to become a majcr
action. officials here today were guarded
in their comment.
1t is known, however, that systematic
devastation Of Rhine industries has
been long urged 1t has been felt here
that the best opportunity of giving Ger
many an example Of the wreck she has
wrought in Belgium and northern
France lay in campaign across the
Rhine from the American concentration
point between the Meuse and Moselle.
Besides Offering the opportunity Of
reaching Germany by a short line, the
drive presents the chance of preventing
added German pressure further north.
The drive toward the Hindenburg line
has been materially slowed the last few
days by German concentrations of un-
used troops.
The American, drive, therefore, is like
ly to compel Germany to thin out her
forces around st. Quentin. And it is
likely to fbe so forcible a blow that
considerable gains in the Toul sector
will be accompanied by further pushing
toward the Hindenburg line.
Some military experts felt that 1t Of
fered the opportunity of showing the
Boche well past the Hindenburg line
and compelling him to drop back to
at least the Meuse line.
Secretary of War Baker now in
France. may have witnessed the OPEN
ing of the American drive. although re-
ports make no mention of his presence
at the front and the War Department
was without information save. these dis
patches up to noon.
First news of the drive was received
by President Wilson. Chief of STAFF
March, Congress and other departments.

sudden German eruption southeast OF
Verdun early in the fall of 1914 before
the line had become entirely stabilized
after the Marne and Aisne battles. The
French checked tn German push near
st. Mhiel and prevented a debouch-
ing movement on the tanks. The posi-.
tions taken up by the Germans we're
strong ones. however. and there is on
record no previous organized attempt
to reduce this menacing bulge point
ing at the heart of France between the
fortresses of Verdun and Nancy.
Marshal Foch has caused the launch
ing Of this attack almost coincidently
with the virtually complete elimination
of the various salients the Germans
drove into the Allied lines in their
offensive during the present fighting
year. The Hindenburg line had again
become the German defensive position
along almost its entire length, and the
German defense was stiffenine materially
at all points where the French, British
and Americans were pressing in upon
them.
New Menace to Enemy
The German command now will have,
vt appears, another problem to meet
In dealing with the outbreak of its
foes in another and comparatively dis
tant quarter from that in which the
bulk of the fighting has been done in
this years campaign. The question
Twill be. 1t seems. whether the reduced
| German man-power has left General
Ludendorff with forces sufficient to
maintain his front from Rheims to
fpres and at the same time beat back
a powerful thrust by the Allies far to
the southeast on the battlefront
The Hindenburg line itself, however.
already has not proved too strong for
Ieither the French or the British at some
points in the recent fighting. The Brit
ish preached it on the Queant-Drocourt
line, and today there came the official
announcement from London that the
British had made further progress be.
hind this line in the direction OF
Cambria. one of the principal German
bases in the north.
A strong defensive line had beer
taken by the enemy here along the Cana
du Nord. but this line now seems turned
on its left flank. as the British hav.
/ forced a crossing of the canal to tn.
northwest of Havrincourt and are in 6
position to push up the eastcrly bank
providing Field Marshal Haig decides t.
employ his driving force in this direc
