Washington, March 3.-Members of the Senate who believe that the transaction of business is the first duty of Congress, declare the situation at the close of this session is & national disgrace,
 Because of unlimited debate prevail ing since the publication of the constitu- tion of the league of nations, at least 10 supply bills, many of prime importance in connection with reconstruction will fail of passage.
 At the next session strong effort will be made to enact a cloture. Senator Underwood at the beginning of the present session introduced very mild cloture rule, but a majority strong TOT talking caused it's defeat. Senator Under wood stated today that he has about reached the conclusion that 1t would be wise for the Senate to adopt the rule of the House under which debate must stop when a majority so orders.
 Legitimate debate is necessary, con tinued the senator, ''but the first duty of Congress is to attend to the business of the people"

APPLAUSE PERMITTED
 IN SENATE GALLERIES

Washington, March 3.--(SpeciaL) Demonstration in the gallery of the Senate is now permissible. The Sen ate rule, denying such expression of approval or disapproval, is practically dead.
 When Senator Reed sometime ago concluded a wonderful speech against the league of nations. the senators themselves applauded and the galleries. taking up the echo, sent it to the sky
 Vice President Marshall objected and cautioned the occupants of the gallery. But thereafter as interest in, the great debate continued the demonstrations. restrained, true. but expressive. never theless, continued.
 Friday before Senator Lodge began his speech. MT. Marshall solemn1y de- clared that while he objected to tho Senate rule, he would enforce 1t as long as 1t existed. Half an hour later Senator Lodge declared that if Mexico should raid the American border the United States. before defending itself, would be compelled to appeal to the league and wait three months follow ing the decision of the league.
 Senator Reed reminded Senator Lodge that the United States would be compelled to await action until three months following the decision of the league-and that the league might not make decision until 30 years had passed.
 Senator Lodge replied: "Oh, mo- The constitution provides that the decis- ion must be rendered as promptly as possible"
 ''Oh. yes. of course" grunted the Missourian. "as soon as possible"
 His retort was rendered in such a sarcastic vein that other senators laughed freely. The galleries there. upon rippled with unconcealed mirth
 MT. Marshall. having given warning, ordered the galleries cleared. Several Senators protested Poindexter, Lodge LaFollette and Brandagee declared the senators. in setting the example were actually to blame Senator Reed

DECIDED ON NEW RETREAT


 The descriptions given to G. H. O. confirmed us in our resolution, to which we had come in the evening of the P, to withdraw the troops on the night of the 26th-27th July from the Marne to the Fere-en Tardenois-vi line. With that end in view was nat urally in constant touch with the army group of the German crown prince and the Seventh army.
 Only short stand was to be made on the line indicated. The enemy would renew his massed attacks We had to make them very expensive for him. We had in view a withdrawal be- hind the Vesle of a straight line be- tween So.ssons and Rheims in the be- ginning of August. but before this could be carried out. the salient south of the vesle, and especially the Vesle valley itself. had first to be cleared.
 The masses of stores accumulated there were absolutely vital to us. Our front contracted as our retreat pro ceeded. We thereby accumulated re- serves, but so did our enemy who could use them for attacks elsewhere.
 The serious weakening of the Eight eenth army and of the right wing of the Ninth least of Amiens) could now no longer be justified. It. had to be made good by endorsements. These could only be drawn from the army group of Grown Prince Rupprecht.
 GIVES UP FLANDERS DREAM
 The offensive in Flanders could not bring a rapid and decisive success. Ac- cording to all indications, the enemy was ready for it. If he avoided the attack. as he had noe east of Rheims. we should be unable to force decision. If he stood firm. his numerous reserves were in a position to hold us up. as they had done on June II and 12 in the direction of the Compiegne.
 G. H. Q. therefore decided to abandon this defensive. The Rupprecht army group was to stand on the defensive and to surrender reserves to reinforce

Delightful Taste, Immediate
 Relief, Quick Warm-Up.

The sensation of the year in the drug trade is Aspironal, the two-minute cold and cough reliever. authoritatively guaranteed by the laboratories; tested, approved and most enthusias tically endorsed by the high est authorities, and proclaimed by the com mon people as ten times as quick and effec- tive as whiskey, rock and rye. any other cold and cough remedy they have ever tried.
 All drug stores now supplied with the wonderful new elixir. all you have to do to get rid of that cold is to step into the nearest drug store, hand the clerk half a dollar for bottle of Aspironal and tell him to serve you two teaspoonfuls with four tea spoonfuls of water in glass. With your watch in your hand. take the drink at one swallow and call for your money back in two minutes if you cannot feel your cold fading away like dream within the time limit Don't be bashful. for all druggists invite you and expect you to try it. Every body's doing it.
 When your cold cough is relieved take the remainder of the bottle home to your wife and babies, for Aspironal is by far the safest and most effective. the easiest to take and the most agreeable cold and cough pAmedy for infants and children.-Adv.

had also become stronger. At an earlier date the Eighteenth army had fought in the Avre success. One of the divi- sions there which was holding a wide front had been driven back on the river
 Inc attempt to make the nations of the entente inclined to peace before the arrival of the American reinforce ments by means of German victories had failed. The energy of the army h,,d not sufficed to deal the enemy n de- cisive blow before the Americans were on the spot in considerable force. It was quite clear to me that our general situation had thus become very serious.
 By the beginning of August we had stopped our attack. and had reverted to the defensive on the whole front. When the divisions that had taken part in the last attack had been rested. we should be able to make fresh decisions. pause in the operations was nothing extraordinary; it had occurred after the cessation of the great offensive of the 21st of March. and again after that of May 27. The fighting since July 15 had been no less costly than had those attacks The desire for rest was as legitimate now as it had been then. Whether the enemy would let us have it was the question.
 I considered that the enemy might either continue his attack on the Vesle toward which he was exerting an ever increasing pressure, or that he might extend it to the area between the Aisne and the Disc. where, in ex- pectation of an attack on our part, he had got together considerable forces. I also thought he might possibly make advances between the Disc and the Somme. perhaps also near Albert and in the plain of the Lys and, finally. in the Sundgau Upper Alsace). But further assumed that these operations would only take the form of isolated local attacks, for the enemy was also

' mics. This 1t was quite capable of do- ing. The necessary orders were issued.
 I had yet no idea how, if at all, we should be able to recover the initiative e
 after taking up the Nesle position. The army group of Duke Albrecht was instructed to submit plans for an
 attack on it's front. G. H. e. suspended it's instructions as regards the use of the forward zone on the front of the Seventh and Eighteenth armies, and also for any future retirements i On the 2Sd there was again an ex- ! tremely vigorous attack, which. on the whole. was successfully repulsed along
 the whole front. During the next few days there were only local attacks, which failed everywhere.
 In the night of the 26th the with drawal Of the front north of the Marne was accomplished according to plan and in perfect order. In the next few days General Foch made further vio- | lent but unsuccessful attacks which cost
 us the loss of some small strips of high ground, northwest of Fere en Tarde-
 nois.
 l According to reports from the troops l the enemy had suffered bloody losses. l (The Pennsylvania troops were en-
 gagged here) Of course, very heavy de- | mands were made on us, too. As had been the case in previous defensive bat ties, constant relief by new divisions was continually necessary
 The. evacuation of the salient went on steadily, thanks to the splendid or ganization of the army group of the German crown prince and of the First and Seventh armies The second rail- way line was now completed and made the work considerably easier

NEW TROOPS COME UP TIRED

Achievements for the Seventh army had therefore to be detrained in the Aisne valley or further north, and so were tired even before they reached the front. The necessity for continued relief was as obvious as 1t had been in the case of the Flanders and Somme battles. We had, in addition to other supplies, to send up immense quantities of ammunition and other war materials. Ine railway communications 'penlno the lines could not cope with all this Motor transport and rolling stock that would have made good this deficiency were not available.
 We should have continued to be very seriously handicapped in our struggle with an enemy who had the best i'm aginable communication at his dis posal.
 That our strategic position in this salient was . critical one went without saying. Every enemy success at Sois- sons the Ardre would have the most far reaching consequences. II would not he possible to hold the sal- lent permanently, and n new attack at Rheims seemed hopeless.
 I sent officers. among them General Won Los0berg, to the fighting front to report on the position. The command CTS and troops at Soissons were obvI- ously under the impression of the bat ties of the 18th, and the feeding of the troops was everywhere described as very difficult. From a tactical point of view the forward zone system had not proved a success in these battles, too easily caused disorder in the main nf fa

HIS LOSSES VERY HEAVY


 As in every other engagement, the losses we had suffered since July 15 had been very heavy. July IS and the defensive battles arising with 1t hnd in particular been very expensive, al- though we got our wounded back and did not lose any considerable number of prisoners.
 The losses through the battle had been heavy that were compelled to break up about 10 divisions md use their infantry as reserves for others. The other arms were, generally speak ing. not broken up. Those divisions that had been withdrawn from the bat tie, and other troops, were distributed behind the whole west front.
 This was the beginning or a vast railway transport movement. It opened at the end of July, and in- creased considerably at the beginning of August, and from that time onward hardly eyer diminished The troops. who were very much exhausted, had to be brought up to establishment, rested and given time to recuperate.
 I had not succeeded in getting any clear idea of the enemy's losses since July 15, but considering the massed tao tics of the entente. they must have been high. and in no way less heavy

tired, and on the whole. not less so than ourselves.
 And attacks did take place. That they subsequently developed into great battle the whole front was mainly due to the considerable success gained by the enemy on August $. and 2J. These must have demonstrated that our troops were no longer what they had been. and invited him to con tinue the fight.

CALLS AMERICANS INFERIOR

The armies of the entente had also suffered The battle had cost the en- emy as much as it had cost us. The French had sent into action remark ably large number of Senegalese and Moroccans, and had endeavored to spare their own people.
 The six American divisions that had taken part in the battle had suffered particularly severely without achiev- ing any successes.
 One division appears to have been broken up in order to bring them up to establishment. Notwithstanding the gallantry of the individual American soldier. the inferior quality ot the American troops is proved by the fact that two brave German divisions were able to withstand the main attack made by very superior American forces for several days, and these two divi- sions, the Fourth Ersatz and the 201st, had up till then considered no better than the average.
 The losses sustained by the English and Italian divisions were also heavy.
 In the meantime the group of Crown Prince Rupprecht had prepared for the defensive, by relieving divisions that had been ip position for a long period by others that had been intended for attack. Their battalions were fairly strong. Many divisions had not been in action since April. The Eighteenth army and the right wing of the Ninth
