AMERICANS WILL MAKE AN
AGGRESSIVE WAR AND PUT
GERMANS ON DEFENSIVE

this spring. But before long they can
be fed into various sectors relieving the
seasoned forces now ON guard.
This process would form needed
man-power reserve.
Military authorities say that the ba-
sis of victory can be formed this year,
if the allies do not delay until Germany
has reaped the advantages of the Rus
sian and Rumanian crashes. Germany
within year and half apparently will
be well provided for as respects food
and badly needed supplies which she can
draw from the Near East. A blow now
would find her far more vulnerable than
one delayed few months or year.
Major General March, chief of staff,
said today all the speed humanity possi-
BILE will be injected into the troop ship
ments.
The first of the national army divis-
ions will be on its way to France soon.
Upon arrival it will be sent to a train
ing center back of the front where it
will receive advance instruction in the
latest methods of warfare.
1t will go through practically the
same course that has been given the
regulars and national guards abroad, un.
der the eyes Of French and British in
structors.

Congress to Learn Some

By L. g. Martin

Omitted Press Stat Correspondent
Washington, Mar. 13.-The latest wal
power asked by President Wilson-auth
ority to control lumber and logging busi
ness-is being withheld today while con
gress investigates to learn its need.
The president wants authority tC
commander standing timber, to desig
nate what timber shall be cut and Of
what lengths, and then to say how it
shall be sawed.
Logs and lumber are among the most
badly needed products for America Is
war program. Both the shipping and the
aviation programs have suffered from
lack of the right kind of lumber at the
right time and in the right place.
But congress, convinced by lumbermen
that the pending bill giving the presi-
dent what he asks may be unnecessary,
will give the lumber and logging inter
ests hearing, beginning today before
the senate military affairs committee.
The timbermen will tell the committee
that it is not necessary for the govern
ment to commander any timber.
Let us in ON the government policy
tell us whether the shipping board has
q concrete plan for the building of
wooden ships and we'll guarantee to
get out the lumber. Is to be the ksy
note of the timbermen's s plea. They
made the same plea before the senate
commerce committee, investigating the
shipping situation.
According to witnesses before that
committee, there is no lack of r1mDer, no
lack of labor, no lack of money to de-
velop new tracts, but there is no infor-
nation available as to how far the ship
ping board is going with its wooden
shipping program. Hence timbermen
won spend money to extend roads
and railroad spurs into new tracts.
The arguments of the 4ogging and
lumber men were presented to the mill
tary affairs committee by Representa-
tive Fordney, Michigan, himself Tim
Der man.
This bill is menace to the lumber
and logging industries, declared Ford
ney. ''It is an organized labor PROPOSE
tton, pure and simple. President Wilson
has been working ON it with the secre-
tary of war, the secretary of labor and
Samuel Gompers ever since the war
broke out. The plan is to force Che
lumber camps and sawmills to an eight
hour day.
eff the president is given power as
provided in this bill, to prescribe the
rules for operation of logging camps
and saw mills, great mistake will be
made. Why put the eountry's s $4,000
sawmills under one man when there
are $4,000 competent foremen running
them?
"There is not logging or lumber
man in the country who has refused to
give the government the timber asked
for. Let the government say what it
wants and we II give it to them"

ment.
The thought that the foundation for
victory can be, laid in 1918 lay back of
the plan of Fastening national army men
over ahead Of national guard units and
of calling out as rapidly as possible
units of the 100000 second draft.
That the allies are now planning ag-
gressive action instead of waiting on the
German, is the indication from present
maneuvers.
America will have greater part in
this probable action than it was pos
sible a year ago.

New York, Mar. 13.-Germany's re-
sumption of the use of Zeppelins for
raids on Great Britain is the first ae-
acknowledgement Won Hindenburg has
permitted of the constantly increasing
superiority of the allies in airplanes.
The usefulness of Zeppelins as raid
ers has long been an exploded myth.
Their comparatively low speed and vul-
.nerability have made them more cost
ly to send on baby killing expeditions
than the value of the material damage
they have inflicted. Nevertheless, the
kaiser's maglamoniac-belief that the
allies morale can be lowered by air raids
has caused imperative orders that the
bombing of Great Britain continue
whatever the risk. Won Hindenburg has
not enough airpanes at his disposal to
keep up the necessary aeronautieal du-
ties along the west -;ont and at the
same time, conduct air offensives
