U. S. Colonel's Tactics Big Factor in Repulse

of Great German Raid

International News Service: WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, March 4. Not alone the bravery and lighting spirit or the American troops, but the tactics of the American colonel commanding was largely responsible for the turning of Friday's strong German raid into a rout in the district north" of Toul. The officers and enlisted men are unanimously "boosting" for their colonel who was in France as an observer long before the United States entered the war.

Experience thus gained is standing the men in good stead. This officer employed the principle of leaving the front line lightly held (but j not leavir g it empty by any means) I while keeping plenty of reserve troops available nearby. This en abled the Americans to give the Germans the drubbing of their lives. Colonel is Atlmiml. This colonel i.s greatly admired hy the other officers, particularly as they saw him during the tremendous bombardment on Friday, wher it seemed that all men in the American salient must be lost. Hut the commanding colonel remained col and collected, sending off dispatch bearers and organizing support by adjoining companies and giving suggestions to the artillery for their counter battery work. When the raid was over and it was possible to leave his quarters the colonel was among the first to i srn to the scene of the struggle. There he congratulated the defenders, cheered up the wounded and arranged for their transport to the rear. He immediately placed his motor car tit the disposal of "walking cases," riding in the side car of a motorcycle himself. Quarters Often Shelled.

Ii.t rn:itin.il New Servi-: WASHINGTON. March 4. A resolution calling upon American congress to assert its confidence in Russian people and to repudiate any suggestion that the Cnited States' undertake an invasion of Siberia i" company with Jap. in was introduced in the house today by Rep. Meyer London, suciali.-t, of New York. The agitation for such action, lyondon asserted. is fomented by "unclean influences." To carry out such a scdeme would be, lie said, to subvert the very things the United states went into the war to gain. The resolution was referred to the foreign relations committee. The Ri ssian people eventually will rise anil drive the invader from their soil. London asserted. Should the United States and the allies approve the Japanese plan. London declared. Russia will los' all faith in the boasted democracy of the western world. Pres't Wilson. In view of his speeches, could not support sich a project, London believed.

This officer's headiuarters is within easy range of the German Krupps and occasionally shells drop around it, but th.e colonel is always there and any private soldier is :.b!e to enter and converse with him. The colonel knows many of the men by name. "It may be that gas kills men, hut it don't kill bucrs." said a Swedish youth, who had enlisted in the Cnited States army from North Dakota. This dissertation was delivered after Friday's raid while the American was ridding his clothing of vermin. . Gas No Death to Bug.. "I was in the gas attack the other day when they got some of our hoys and I was right in the thick of the fumes, hoping that it would croak these fleas and things, but there was nothing doing:," continued the soldier. "Now I've got tome powder from the cooperative. stores that my pal says is sure death to them." The Americans are already comparatively free from vermin since cleaning out the dugouts, burning the old straw and disinfecting tho places with sulphur. Plenty of baths and clean clothing are procurable, which are the best preventatives.

Thv were i disagreement upon two vital points: ( 1 i Th'" time limit for tb- period of federal eontrol. i '2 The power to fix rates. The house voted to terminate go eminent control two years aft r the war. The senate mad it IS months. Neither limitation is in accord with the administration wishes. Director Gen. McAdoo asked that the limit be left c.pen to further determination. The senate granted the president power to initiate rates subject to review bv tlu interstate commerce cornrnissmn. The house went far- j ther and acceded tf the adminis- j tration demand for full authority; to transfer the rate !iing power from the interstate commerce com- ' mission to the president. The administration is anxious f..r prompt and final action on the railroad bill this week. If it takes a hand in the conference, the best guess is that the senate will ac- ; cept tlie house's two-year limitation and insist upon the adoption of its rate fixing proision.
