Highly Controversial Liquor Matters Await Return of Congress Members. By the Associated Press. ‘The session ot Congress which ended yesterday accomplished little prohibi- tion legislation, but it left for its suc- cessor of mext December plenty of highly controversial liquor matters. All bills and resolutions die at the end of a Congress, but their authors seldom fail to introduce them again first chance. Among those abandoned past session was the proposal, originated by the Wickersham Commission, for trial of minor offenders without jury. The House passed it, but it died on the Senate calendar. ‘There were two resolutions by Sena- tor Sheppard, Democrat, Texas, an au- thor of the national prohibition act. One would prevent the sale of grape concentrates convertible into wines. the other would make unlawful the pos- session of liquor in the home, with the “burden of proof” upon the possessor. Report Still Unconsidered. Btill unconsidered stands the Wicker- sham prohibition report, filled with sug- for change ranging up to revi- sion of the eighteenth amendment. dry laws were sent to the White House during the last session. One d a $2,360,000 addition to the hibition Bureaw’s appropriation for the employing of 500 additional dry agents. Another amended the Jomes- Stalker “five and ten” law by providing & relaxation for minor offenders, while. the other two defined petty offenses. Leaders of the wet forces look forward to the next Congress with expectations of waging harder battles upon proposed liquor law legislation. Their estimates of increases in the anti-prohibition forces would bring the established wet votes in the Senate to 22 and those in the House to 160. ‘Where Strength Might Ge. This strength might be thrown be- hind a resolution like the one introduced by Senator Blaine, Republican, Wis- consin, soon after the Wickersham re- port reached Congress to put into effect its suggested revision of the eighteenth amendment. But many of the wet group may demand repeal or nothing. It may back also a measure by Senator Cope- land, Democrat, New York, to relax the medicinal liquor laws as recommended by the commission. Both failed to re- ceive committee approbation. Countless other liquor plans are cer- tain to sprout anew, but the majority almost certainly will die like their pre- decessors last and Con- y pigeonholed. AMERICAN U.

American Soldiers Make Great Showing Heading Counter-Attack That Halts German Drive. TWO DIVISIONS TAKE 7,000 PRISONERS Crown Prince Forced to Retire and Tide of War Turns in Favor of Al- lied forces. CHAPTER LITL HE Germans had a preponderance of 323,000 rifies March 21, 1918, and, altho this number had decreased, they still had a su- periority of about 200,000 May 27. July 15 this was changed, and the allies then had the superiority by the same number. In other words, the Germans were relatively worse off by 523,000 rifles in July than in March. ‘This was accounted for almost en- tirely by the great increase in the num- bers of Americans. The French and British had not been able to add to their strength, but, on the contrary, they were being reduced faster than the Ger- mans. One thing pertinent to this situation was that the American reinforcements, despite their backwardness in training, were better soldlers because of their youth, their vigor and their enthusiasm, and they were not at ali war-weary. ‘The allies now had the necessary ad- vantage in numbers that they had been waiting for, and the time had come to make full use of the Americans, some divisions to enter the battle and others to relleve allied units from quiet sectors so that they could go to active fronts. Favered Counter-Attack. The German offensive south of Rheims, July 15-16, having been checked, the moment was favorable for an allied counter-offensive. The selec- tion by the Germans of the Champagne sector and the eastern and southern faces of the Marne pocket on which to make their offensive was fortunate for the allies, as it favored the counter- attack already planned. We shall now see the reason for the concentration of several American di- vistons sout of Soissons. Some of them were available for use in the main counter-stroke, to be delivered by the French 10th Army, under Mangin, The American 1st and 2d Divisions were to ganized and these divisions, by his di- rection, under discretionary authority given by me, became a part of French 20th Corps, commanded by Gen. Berdoulat. This corps then was composed of these two divisions and the French 1st Moroccan Division, which had a fine ToBe mmertans. posttion. i the aitack, most_im) position attack, on the left center of the 10th Army. The three divisions mentioned had the honor of being the spear-head of the thrust against the vulnerable flank of the salient. The line of advance ran eastward over the commanding plateau just south of Soissons, and across the main road leading from that place to Chateau Thierry. Troops Lost En Route. ‘The 1st had recently been relieved from the Cantigny sector and was en route to a rest area. It was scattered throughout the Dammartin area, just north of Meaux, when it received orders July 13 to move by truek to the front. After a hurried departure, the advance troops arrived at dawn the 16th at the Porest of Retz (or Forest of Villers Cotterets), and during the night the di- vision moved to the front of the forest. The night of July 17 it went forward over muddy and congested roads, the columns of infantry working their way to the front, where they arrived in the nick of time. The 2d Division was at Montreuil- aux-Lions in reserve of the 1st Corps, recuperating, when the order came on the 14th to move by truck toward the front. Dawn July 17 found the in- fantry and machine gun elements a riving at the Forest of Villers-Cotterets. The night of 17th the move- ment toward the front, through the | forest, was made with extreme difficulty. | ‘The narrow roads became jammed, troops lost their direction and there was serious doubt whetber they would be at their line of departure at the ap- pointed hour 4:35 a.m. the 18th. With most commendable energy and initiative, the officers led their com- mands forward during tbe night, wind- ing in and out through the almost in- extricable snarls of wheeled vehicles. One of the battalions assigned to lead in the attack, though on the march most of the night, was formed to move on the run for the last few hundred yards, and just reached its place as the barrage started. (One unnecessary- cause of delay re- ported was that the Prench officer in charge of the truck trains insisted upon counting the number of men carried and obtaining receipts for their trans- portation, Harbord: “Leaves From a War Diary” p. 321). Scarcely Any Roads. ‘The 2d Division headquarters found itself July 16 with no knowledge of the terrain and little obtainable from any source. Harbord and his chief of staff, Col. Preston Brown, started for the front and accidentally ran into the headquar- ters of the 20th Corps. They there found the directive for the attack, from which they issued the divisions orders. The country over which the 29th Corps attacked cons'sted of a suceession of wooded ravines that lay across the line of advance, with scarcely any roads leading toward the fro The enemy's defenses along the ridges of the Soisscns plateau were naturally strong, and with the added intrenchments the enemy evidently felt himself reasonably secure. It was harvest time and the landscape gave excellent cover for the enemy’s infantry and machine guns, but it also helped to hide our advance. Without the usual prelimina; t {lery preparation, the assaulting batta fons, accompanicd iight plunged forward behind the barrage. The enemy was caught by surprise and the 1st and 2d Divisions, gallantly sup- ported by the Morocea center, soon overran his forward posi light artillery.

Assisted by the skillful | use of artillery and with consummate | dash, under Brig. Gen. B.

Meanwhile, the 1st Brigade and the French 87th Di- | vision, which had relieved the Moroc- cans, had crossed the Soissons-Chateau Thierry highway and reached the | Chateau of Buzancy. The line now ran | parallel to the Crise, with Soissons | commanded by our artillery. | The 1st Division, throughout four | days of constant fighting, had advanced | nearly 7 miles, taken 3,500 prisoners and 68 guns from 7 different German divisions employed against it, and had about 7,200 casualties.

The dangerous character of the | threat caused the Crown Prince to be- gin a general withdrawal from the | Marpe. operation snatched the | initiative from the enemy almost in an on the defensive. Mangin's General Order. Gen. Mangin, who commander the Prench 10th Army, issued the following general order: “Officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the 3d United States Army Corps: Shoulder to shoulder with your French comrades you were thrown into the counter-offensive battle which commenced July 18. . ;You rushed into the fight as to a ete. ly routed a surprised enemy and your indomitable tenacity checked the coun- ter-attacks of his fresh divisions. | ‘'ou_have shown yourselves worthy sons of your great country and you “Ninety-one guns, 7,200 prisone: reconquered.

Our 1st and 2d Divisions, with the Moroccan Division between them, had struck the decisive blow that turned the iide of the war. Petain sald it could not have been done without our di- vieions. On the other side, the German chancellor, Von Hertling, sald later: We expected grave events in Paris for the end of July. That was on the 15th.

Malone, who had been as- signed to line duty and commanded the 23d Infantry of the 2d Division in this fight, gives an excellent and vivid picture of the difficulties under which our troops deployed for the advance: “The road to the front was found completely blocked, the troops endeavor- ing to thread their way through and between vehicles of all kinds. It be- gan raining early in the evening and the night became so dark that it was impossible to see at more than a pace distance. No opportunity of any kind could be given to the company or pla- toon commanders to reconnoiter 'the way to the front, through an intricate network of roads and trails in the for- est. * * * Proceeding to the post of command of the French regimental commander, I stationed non-commis- sioned officers to guide the troops as best they could in the proper direction. .Troops Far Behind, “The attack was to start at 4:35 a.m. At about 10 minutes to 4 the sergeant major of the 1st Battalion arrived at my P. C. (post of command) with the information that Companies A and B had lost their way and that he thought only a small portion of the 1st Battalion had reached position for the attack. A moment later I was advised that two battalions of the Marines were then passing the P. C. en route to the front, from which it was apparent that they could not possibly reach the jumping- off trenches in time. “I immediaZely left the P, C. with my entire staff, the French regimental commander, all of his runners and all of mine. The French regimental com- mander turned over all of his runners to the Marines, and Lieut. Col. Phelan placed them with his troops to guide them as rapidly as possible to the front.

STUDENTS DEPICT PLATOON SYSTEM Routine Carried Out Before Visitors by Park View School Pupils. Pupils of Park View School, under the leadership of their teachers, gave a demonstration of the “mechanics” of the platoon system of school organiza- tion last right as a special feature of a meeting of the District of Columbia Public School Association. The public school group were the guests of the Park Platoon School Parent-Teacher Assoclation. Demonstrating the routine of their work in the system by which it is de. clared facllities of the school are mul- tiplied, the children went about their work as if in regular classes. ‘The exhibition started with :ne of their regular weekly assemblies in the auditorium, under the direction of Miss Maude Burklin, auditorium teacher. After this, the guests visited the various class rooms, viewing the work. In the domestic science department young cocks served dainty cookies as they were taken from the ovens. Self-expressionistic art work, of the modern school, was exhibited by the art department, and other classes dcmon- strated their work. The Park View School is being carried on as an experiment, with a view to the wider extension of the platoon plan in Washington, should seem desirable. The purpose of the platoon school, its proponents point out, is to create “withim the adult world of the city, a child world in which children may be kept wholesomely busy at work and study and play all day. The method of obtaining this purpose is by operating the school on the ‘balanced’ load plan.” They point out that this can be achieved the same as all other public utilities are conducted, by applying the principle of multiple use of facilities.

NEW YORK, March 5.—“Your true Hoosier takes his chicken when, where, as and if he can get it,” whether it is fried in batter or in flour. The adoption of such a resolution by a group of Hoosiers was designed today to stifle a feud over the relative merits of fried chicken a la Indiana and a la Maryland, which threatened to rival the now famous corn pone=- potlikker controversy of the South. The resolution was in answer to members of the Indiana Club, dining the other night, who declined Mary- land style chicken and sent it back to be prepared the Wabash way.
