fere with a session tomorrow ard
if there is no session Thursday it
will mean an extension of this Legis-

Speaker. The question of leaves was
put up to the House and no objec
tions were made to any applications.
The House concurred in Senate
amendments to the bill transferring
the State fire marshal's duties to the
State Police Department.

dars for to-day's session of the
House had not been delivered
Speaker Spangler at 11.15 ordered
the House to go to work on the cal
endars of yesterday as a guide.
When the House got down to
work Mr.. Sterling, Philadelphia,
moved that his bill for an elective
school board in philadelphia and
Pittsburgh. be dropped from the

vote to transfer loans, a measure
relative to transit, was negatively re-
ported. This bill was the subject OF
discussion yesterday.

Coblenz, June 1S.-The
concentration of troops pre-
paratory to advancing fur
ther into Germany if the Ger
mans refuse to sign the terms of
peace will begin on Wednesday
throughout all the occupied
area. Orders to this effect were
received yesterday from Mar
shal Foch, commander-in-chief
of the Allied armies, who sent
similar orders to all the Allied
forces on German soil.
Lieutenant General Hunter Liggett.
commander of American forces in the
Coblenz area said to-day, after an in
spection trip of the bridgehead out
posts and the headquarters of divis-
ions along the Rhine, that the Ameri-
can forces were all ready to move
ahead at moments notice.
Leaves to soldiers, permitting them
to visit recreation points within the
American zone have all been sus-
pended until it is known whether the
Germans will accept or reject the
peace conditions.
If orders come to go ahead the
Americans will advance in combat
formation prepared for any emer-
gency, with the artillery and supply
trains following close upon the heels
of the infantry.

General England could of course carry on
these suits himself, and there is not the slight
est doubt that he would reflect great credit
upon the state. but for his own peace Vi mind
he probably would prefer to associate with
himself a few experts upon the points Of law
that the Standard Oil crowd, which there is
every reason for believing Is behind these suits
Of the states, may be expected to stress in the
action before the high court. One Of these
points, of course, is the bearing which, the
interstate commerce clause Of the constitution
has upon the matter at issue, and another is
the development of commission control of
public service corporations in this country.
Judge Hughes, one Of the highest authorities
on the latter branch of Law, called it a science
in a speech he made at banquet in New York
state the other day. And 1t must be admitted
that in a comparatively few years it has pene-
trated deep In this country and produced a
yoluminous literature of its own.
1t may be that West Virginia contains law
. yers who are the equal OF any in the country
in their grasp of these two important points
upon which the contest over the control Of the
gas is apt to turn, but if, rs would seem nat
ural in the circumstances, 1t is necessary for
General England to go to Chicago, say for his.
interstate commerce expert, and to New York
for his authority upon public service control,
he should feel free to do that very thing. And
The best way to make him feel that way about
1t is for the companies and individuals most
vitality interested in the successful outcome of
the effort to retain enough of West Vlrginia's
gas to supply West Virginia's needs is to write

1t was learned from the highest authority
at the executive offices today that the hope of
the Republican leaders of the senate that the
president would presently make some move
which will relieve the situation with regard
TO the treaty is entirely without foundation;
he has no compromise or concession of any
kind in mind, but intends so far as he is con-
cerned that the Republican leaders OF the SEN
ate shall continue to bear the undivided re-
sponsibility for The fate of the treaty and the
present condition Of the world in consequence
Of that fate.
