Doubt Is Being Voiced
by the German Press
Over Future in East
BY the Associated Press

AMSTERDAM, March 6.-Despite or
ders from the high command to the
German people TO befag their towns
and rejoice over peace with Russia.
notes of doubt are not lacking in the
German press in regard to the future
in the east. The Vorwaerts says that
Russian territory is not the place the
Germans longed for, or is German occu-
patton calculated to endure. 1t adds:
I'VE should regard it as wiser and
more far-seeing I the German govern
ment had not exploited to the utmost
the helplessness of the Russian peo-
pies and forced a peace for which the
only historical parallel is that which
crushed Prussia was obliged to con-
clude at Tilsit in 1907.
The German social democracy must
now take up the fight with the object
of preventing the new neighboring
states from being treated by Germany
as subjugated peoples.
Confesses Uneasiness.
Georg Bernhard, in the Vossische
Zeitung, confesses to uneasinesS as to

fronted Germany before the war and

war. reconstitute itself. He hopes that

What Germany Is Seeking.

Germany is not now fighting for
conquest in the west" he says. but
that she may consolidate her holdings
in the Balkans and Asia Minor. The
loss of Bagdad and Jerusalem was a
keen blow to her ambitions. but still
she hopes to gain through Russian de-
lection what she has lost by the aG-
sression of the allied forces from the
south.
The point least understood in the
west was the endeavor of Germany to
use the Moslems of Turkey in a holy
war. accompanied by all the horrors of
MnSlenn fanaticiSm.

Not Justify Purchase.
DIFFERS ON BILL REPORT

Representative Arthur r. Rouse OF
Kentucky today presented 10 Congress
the minority report of the commission
to investigate the pneumatic tube serv-
ice in large cities. and took complete
issue with the majority report pre-
scented by Representative Bell recon-
mending the purchase of the tubes
1T is the judgment of postal officials
who are in daily contact with the tube
service" the minority report read
that it is of so little value as a postal
utility that if rendered the department
as n gift it would not be justified in
asking the Congress for funds to oper-
ate it.
Their judgment in this respect ap-
pears to be in accord with that of Con
gress with regard to pneumatic tubes
because the Congress itself fails to
operate the tube which connects the
Capitol with the House office building.

OVER AMERICAN LINE
Enemy Planes Driven Off.
First U. S. Manned 0bserva-

REACHES HIGH ALTITUDE
By the Associated Press.


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Tuesday, March 5.-This has
been a quiet day in the American sector
northwest of Toul. The artillery on both
sides seemed content to fire few de-
struetive shots. The shells were infre-
uuent until late in the afternoon when
the American artillery Evened things up
a bit, firing on town in the enemy lines
where troops had been seen.
Although the weather was bright and
clear for the first time in several days.
a mist arose from the snow and OBJ
seryation was obscured by the ground
haze. Aerial forces took advantage of
the improved weather and operated
freely. Groups of enemy planes came
over for photographic work, but were
kept high in the air by the American
guns. Planes from the
American lines also were out IN force
In the trenches the men divided their
time between watching the aerial oper-
atoms and drying themselves in the
dugouts.
First O. S. Balloon Goes Up.
Observation balloons were up for the
first time in several days, being sta
toned at intervals along the front as
far as the eye could see in both direc-
tons. For the first time in the war
an American observation balloon fully
manned and protected by Americans
went I'D. This is the first complete
unit of the American air service to APP
pear in the field. For two days it had
been ready to ascend, the observers
having been up in French Dalloon
several days previously. Today an
American balloon company was work
ing where the French hitherto have
been.
The balloon was hauled out from its hid
den nest and a slight delay was expert
enced in getting it off the ground because
the telephone wires from the basket IN
which were an American captain and lieu
tenant, were fouled. This was quickly
renedied and the balloon was sent up, re-
naming in the air several hours 1t rose
higher than either the French or the Ger
man, in an attempt to reach an altitude
specially favorable for observation.
Enemy Planes Approach.
While it was at the highest point the
watchers saw two airplanes with the

the enemy planes. sailing across the sky
with shrapnel puffs streaming out behind
them like the tail of a comet, suddenly
changed their course and headed for

planes from behind the American lines
bearing the insignia of the French on
their wings probably was the cause.
During last night the normal artillery
firing continued and patrol parties were
active on the American sector northwest
of Toul but there were no engagements.
At daylight an enemy airplane swooped
down on the American lines but was
