smashing drive on the west front
as soon as the weather permits.
This drive. according to the esti-
mate of military experts here. is
aimed to do all the damage possible
before the United States gets in and
will be made irrespective of the sue
cess or failure of the Russian nego-
tiations.
Representatives of the allied mis-
sions are frank in their pleasure
over the failure of the Russian nego-
tiations, however. They have stated
always that the present forces on
the West front can hold any eS-
tensfve German attempt TO break
through. With this attempt depriv-
ed of re-enforcements from the
East they see less cost to them
selves in awaiting the arrival OF the
American army.
Under this view of the military
situation 1t is declared here that
the entente will have to engage in
a diplomatic offensive against Ger
many with all the thoroughness
with which Germany has employed
these means against her enemies.

The Speaker said he was not pre-
pared to state his views. but added:
THE question is likely to come up
almost any day. It might come up
in a dispute over the existenc OF a
quorum. which Is one more than half
of the bona fide members of the House
Or 1t might come up through some
member rising TO a point of highest
privilege and demanding a ruling as
to whether the three members of the
House who have accepted commits
sions in the army are still members
Of the House.
THE question would then have TO
be decided"
The women cited presidents in the
civil war and the Spanish American
war. when the seat was invariably de-
clared vacant.

COAL PLANS
Shipments to Allies Will Be
Subject to Conditions

Export coal to the allies and neu-
trails will be cut in 1918 to take care
OF Americas needs first, and all ex-
port contracts will be subject to

limit OF export already has been
fixed.
This policy has been decided on by

announced yesterday by DR.. Harry A.

be under the control Of the War Trade
Board. which will allot shipments.
