 Sen. Homer Ferguson. R., Mich., of the Senate war Investigating committee charged that manpower was not being utilized to the full advantage" and called for thorough investigation of manpower needs before enactment of work or fight bill.

NCOuLlIlueu IIOIH T'Sc U ern Allies are on the defensive.
 The German counter offensive bled the Allied plans for the Anglo American winter offensive. But If those plans had hnfolded on sched- ule, the Russian attack still would have followed the western drive by about month, giving the Germans a chance to get set before being involved in the east.
