ever Hindenburg gives the word, and it
can only lead to victory.
"The year of decision has downed,"
writes Von Olberg. "A feeling ofyforc
boding already permeats our enemies
and the cry for aid from Japan and
America is constantly heard. Yet the
enemy leaders know that the United
States cannot even make up for the
number of men France and England
were obliged to send to Italy's aid,
especially as the troops they were
sending from America are inexperi
: enced and lack training. We are fprite
aware that America will do her ut
: most to assist with money and war
material and will probably send many
technical troops and aviators but we
are prepared for every contingency.
Americaja cannot possibly do more
than she did when ostensibly neutral.
Germans Full of Confidence.
"So we must meet the coming year
full of confidence. Our position on
the western front must improve daily
and an equalization of forces is taking
place there, where the enemy has al
ways been numerically superior. In
addition, all our munition factories are
working for one front and tho, whole,
of our enormous reserves of material
will be at once dispatched thither.
Depending on Hindenburg.
"With deep feelings of relief our
troops on the western front are be
ginning to realize that the days of
trench warfare are almost at an end.

Those questions tho enemy leaders are
anxiously asking themselves. Tho
reply is 'wherever and whenever
Hindenburg wishes.' We Jtnow that
ho will choose the time and place that
Avill lead to victory."
The German fleet, too, is to par
ticipate in the coming offensive, ac
cording to the TageblatL 'The Ger
man fleet, relieved of anxiety and
pressure in its rear," says this news
paper, can now turn to the west with
its full strength. The task of the
British fleet, even if it is supported
by Its allies, will be difficult. We have
full faith in the German navy which
has so often exhibited its will to vic
tory and its capacity to fulfill its
duty."
duction of ships and war supplies has
failed to develop as rapidly as had been
planned.
Government borrowings on the two
Liberty! loans have paid for four-fifths
of the war's cost and taxation and a
few minor ordinary government re
ceipts for about one-fifth. The loan
campaigns produced 5,792,000,000 and
1,250,000,000 came direct from the
pickets of the people and will not have
to be repaid. Financial demands of
tlie war in the next few months will
be met in the same way by nnother
bond Issue and by taxes which will be
gin soon to roll in from tho first waf
tax act.
Before last April the monthly op
erating expenses were.1 bout 75,000,
000 and the total annual expenses
reached only a little more than $1,000,
000.000. Then came the war. ln the first
month. ATav. 1917. uxnenses liimned to
114,000,000; in June to 13-1,000,000;
In July to 208,000,000; in August to
277.000,000; in September to 349,
000,000. Ey October the monthly out
lay had reached 462,000,000; Novem
ber 512,000,000; December 611.000.
000 and last month they were 715,
000,000. In the first five days of this
month tho government has spent
150,000,000.
These big sums did not include the
Allied loans. They have averaged
450,000,000 a month from the time the
United States entered the war.
Two-thirds of the 3,000,000,000 ex
pense for war purposes, in tho last ten
months has been for tho army and the
entire military establishment. Up to
last November 1 tho expense of tho
array was 1,4GO,000,000. Since then the
total has increased to more than $2,
000,000,000. The naval establishment has cost'
705,000,000 since tho war began. Up
to December 1 tho actual outlay will
be 513,000,000 and since then it is
estimated about 192,000,000 has been
! expended.
i Tho shipping board has fallen farth
est below Its estimates with payments
since last April for ship and shipyard
' construction of a little more than
200,000,000. Up to December 1 the
government's shipping program had
cost only 123,000,000 but expenditures
i in tho last two months increased by
probably twice tho former rale and as
ships aro completed faster in the near
t future the shipping board's funds nre
L expected to bo depleted more rapidly.

HUD STATES
IIWI PART
Will Furnish More Men and
Money Than Own People
or Allies Dreamed.
Complete Understanding Ex
ists Regarding Allied Needs
and Exactly What U. S.
CaiuDo.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. The United
Stated will furnish more men and
money for the war in a "far shorter
time than has been the fondest hope
of our own people or the nations with
which we are associated," Chairman
Flood of the foreign affairs' commit
tee declared in the house today in pre
senting the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill.
The chairman's assertion was n
connection with his discussion of Col
onol House's mission to Great Britain
' and France and was made in the course
of an outline given the house of the
state department's war activities. As.
the result of the work of the mission.
Mr.- Root said, "a complete under
standing exists of precisely what the
Allies need from this country and ex
actly what this country can furnish
't and when and how."
II In rin MnPA Than EvnfrtcH.
Under the secretaries of state, war
and navy, ho declared, the country will
furnish "more in men and means than
was expected of us."
Tho appropriation bill as presented
by Chairman Flood carries 8,206,087
for the next fiscal year. 3.000,000 more
than the current appropriation because
of increased war burdens. Tho in
crease provides for twenty-five new
secretaries to embassies and legations,
many additional clerks, augmented se
cret service funds and other allow
ances.
With the state department's sanc
tion, Mr. Flood told how the Japancso
mission's visit here resulted in ex
change of notes between Secretary
Lansing and Viscount Ishll which, ha
said, "removed causes of friction be
tween the two countries and works for
peace in the far east, making quite re
mote the possibility, so often dis
cussed of trouble between this country
and Japan.
Rationing of Neutrals.
"Ilationing of neutrals, involving an
intereferonce with some of tho vital
supplies of such countries as Holland,
Donmark and Sweden," he said, "is a
mattqr calculated to oreato intense ir
ritation with the tangiblo ri3k of Its
developing Into enmity. Too much
cannot be said ,of the splendid manner
in which the slate department handled
this delicate situation. There was no
friction-with any of the neutrals grow
ing out of tho course which our gov
ernment was compelled to pursue with
reference to theso matters."

il S TROOPS TO
May Be Sent to Trenches in
Flanders to Finish
Training.
WASHINGTON, Fob. 5. American
troops may appear in British trenches
on the Flanders front as a result of
studies now being made both here
and in Europe. If the project now
being studied is carried out American
troops may bo sent to Britfsh trenches
as a finishing course to their training,
drawing supplies and equipment from
British sources until graduate bat
talions are withdrawn for incorpora
tion in General Pershing's army. Tho
suggestion came from British officials
through General Pershing. It is still
under consideration at the war de
partment but final action probably
rests upon recommendations of Gen
eral Bliss, who is considering it also
In conference with the supreme war
council.
The plan is an advancement of the
proposal made at the time of the first
meeting of the war council that Amer

By the use of British shipping, train

America's War Making Agen
cies Incapable of Team
Work or Vision.
PAINFUL SITUATION
Lack of Preparedness Before
Costing Great Loss and
Prolonging War.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. America's
war making machinery was pictured as
a "'conglomeration of ambitious and
scattered agencies" incapable of team
work, in an address in the senate to
day by Senator Wadsworth, a Repub
lican member of the military affairs'
committee.
Tho speech renewed the debate over
war efficiency which occupied the
senate all day yesterday. Several
senators were waiting with replies up
holding President Wilson's opposition
to the committee's war cabinet and
munition uirector bills.
Senator Wadsworth confined him -1
self largely to van argument for tho
proposed legislation for centralization
of war-making agencies. President
Wilson cannot co-ordinate his agen
cies, he said, and with a long war in
prospect radical steps to unify the na
tion's efforts ar.e necessary.
Lack of Vision.
"Mind you, I do not attempt to lay
the blame upon any one man or any
one department," said the -senator. "I
insist that this painful situation has
resulted from utter lack of planning
from a lack of vision.
"No one in his senses would pro
pose that any other -office be created
to -akeaway' Trpmffthe president the
powers tho constitution confides to
him. It cannot be done. It is un
thinkable." But there is no place in
Washington where the needs of the
situation and plans to meet them can
be brought together, co-ordinated and
settled upon."
Lack of preparedness before the
war, the senator said, is costing
"many, many lives and billions of dol
Jars, besides prolonging the war."
Wadsworth Illustrates Argument.
Illustrating his argument from a
large chart hung on the senate wall
with Secretary Baker's reorganization
plan and that of the cojmmittee shown
together, Senator Wadsworth called
attention to tho existing vast number
of official, semi-official and purely
advisory Agencies, bureaus and other
bodies which, ho asserted, are not co
ordinated, consulting or harmonizing.
On tho railroads, the senator de
clared, goods with blue tagged priority
orders havo exceeded normal ship
ments and, in the east 86 per cent of
all freight was so tagged.
Hopeless Jam on Railroads.
"What has been tho result?" ho
asked. "A hopeless jam and confu
sion of our railway transportation
facilities. Three hundred thousand
tons ofv munitions and supplies are
piled upon tho docks along our Atlan
tic coast, billed to France and Italy
alone. Some are deteriorating rapid
ly. In some cases locomotive boilers
and great piles of shells and other Im
portant materials have been dumped
out upon the ground and lie rusting in
winter weather."
Reviewing the government's handl
ing of tho coal industry, tho senator
i said:
; "As a result of lack of planning wo
'. have great communities starving for
coal and an order issued by the fuel
administration closing down thou
sands of factories and throwing out
of work hundreds of thousands of men
; and women, costing millions of dollars
in wages and delayed product and
; crippling, for the time being, those
very activities upon which wo must
depend for tho winning of tho war.
"Other emergencies will overtake
us," Senator Wadsworth said in con
clusion. "If we aro wise and prudent
and far-sighted, we shall establish
some agency in our government,
whether it be called a war cabinet, or
by some other name, whoso members
shall sit around a council table every
day, morning, noon and night and de
vote their whole timo and every abil
ity toward making out ln advance tho
methods of meeting and overcoming
the emergencies."
O.S. NOW CONTROLS
THE OIL INDUSTRY
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5. Government-control
of the oil industry be
came effectivo today under a procla
mation of President Wilson authoriz
ing Mark L. Ilequa, chief of the oil
division of tho fuel administration, to
establish a licensing system for all
manufacturers or distributors whoso
gross lase are In excess of 100,000 bar
rels annually. Tho proclamation docs
not extend to gasoline or kereseno but
licenses in these commodities probably
will bo required soon.
Tho fuel administration has estab
lished in tho east a -list of preferen
tial consumers whoso demands for oil
will be granted with precedonco in
distributing tho supply. Hailroads and
ships using oil for fuel head the
priority list.
German Plans to Raid Trench- ,
es Frustrated by Heavy
Barrage Fire.
INTENDED SILENT RAID.
General Increase in Artillery
Activity Noted All Along
the American Front.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Monday, Feb. 4. (By the
Associated Press.) German plans to
raid the American trenches were frus
trated early this morning. The Ameri
can artillery put down a heavy barrage
in front and on .the German lines,
which are believed to have been filled
with men and officers uwaiting the sig
nal to attack.
It was discovered at a certain hour
that the Germans intended to carry
out a "silent" raid. Fifteen minutes
before tho time set all the American
guns concentrated their fine where, ac
cording fo the information, the enemy
was massed. It is believed. heavy cas
ualties were inflicted on the Germans. '1
Artillery Activity Increases.
There has been a general increase
in the artillery activity for the last day
or so all along the American front. The
Germans are still unable to occupy the
first lineHrenches which were caved
in by the American artillery fire. They
havo now constructed another lino of
trenches at that point.
American patrols have worked their
way over No Man's Land and inspected
the damaged trenches as well as they
could.
The Germans are usinggas shells'
freely and endeavored to envelop one
of our batten' positions with gas but
without success. They have dropped
a number of shells in the roads behind
the American lines.
Two men were reported wounded to
dav by shells. The visibility remains
bad.
Fuller reports from tho first line
show that great courage was exhibited
by the troops during the heavy Ger
man bombardment of Saturday. A
number of men who were wounded
slightly by shell splinters were treat
ed in the lines with their first-aid
packets and insisted on remaining at
their posts until the fight was finish
ed. One maa who was carried to a
field dressing station returned to his
comrades in the line after his wounds
had been Attended to and remained on
duty until the firing ceased and the
danger wai over. All the men lator
went to a hospital for full treatment.
First Gas Experience.
Many of the Americans have had
their first experiences with gas in the
last few days as the Germans have
been sending over a considerable num
ber of gas shells. None came over
this afternoon, but an alarm was giv
en. The chief of staff of one division
and another staff officer who wree
motoring to a village back of the lines
came upon several companies all the
men in masks. The officers hurried
ly put on their own masks and rodo
on toward tho front line. At the next
villago the men were wearing masks.
The officers kept their's o- until they
saw. through a shell hole in the sido
of a brick wall, twenty infantrymen
with no masks on rolling die as if
nothing had happened.
