RAILROAD BILL MAY PASS THIS WEEK
WASHINGTON, Feb, 18. Plans i' were made today
which the administration leaders believe will insure the
passage of the railroad bill this week. Under an informal
agreement to be sumitted to the Senate tomorrow for
ratification, debate will be limited to five-minute speeches,
beginning at 2 o'clock, Thursday, and it .is expected
PARTS, Feb. 18. Tn Champagne on the sector where
the French, aided by American gunners, captured German
positions last Tuesday, the Germans, after heavy artillery
preparations, attacked and gained a footing in French
. trenches. Later, however, they were ejected and in addi
tion the French took prisoners.
On the American sector near St. Mehiele, the Germans
have increased their early rcconnaisances and bomb-dropping
campaign. The American anti-aircraft guns are for
cing the enemy to keep to high altitudes. One has been
driven down, damaged by an American aviator.
Twenty-seven were killed and 41. injured in the air
raid made' by the Germans on London Saturday and Sun
day nights..' As on Saturday night, only tine of the six
or seven enemy niashhies approached Mritish defense
reached London in Sunday night's attack. A third raid
was attempted Monday night.
The British casualties last, week were the lowest in
many months, 1340 officers and men being killed.

SHIPBUILDERS' STRIKE VIRTUALLY ENDED
Look
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. President Wilson's inter-;
vention has terminated the shipbuilders' strike. Reports
from all sections where the strikers are out said they would j
be back tomorrow.
William Hutchinson, president of the Brotherhood ol
Carpenters and Joiners, is expected to take up the situa
tion tomorrow with government officials, although here
tofore Hutchinson has declined to leave to the adjustment
board settlement of the demands.
Officials believe he will be willing to renew relations
with the board. The carpenters were made a party to a
creation of the adjustment board by the signature of its
vice-president, but Hutchinson overruled his subordinate's
action. This action, said Mr. Mazy, chairman of the ad
justment board, is causing the present trouble at Seattle,
where carpenters are trying to enforce a closed shop. All
carpenters in the Western yards agreed to the Pacific
Coast wage awards, it was said, until it was learned re
cently Mr. Hutchinson had repudiated it,

livery mitn, woman and child in this city can help keep one of our. boys
at the front supplied with eigarcts and tobacco by setting aside one cent a day
for each working day.
.Just think what this little sum will do! For 2;") cents we will enter your
name on our Tobacco Fund list and will send 4" cents worth of smoking to
bacco and cigarcts to our boys in France. Jn the kit will be a postal card
stamped and addressed to you, and on the kit will be a request to the soldier
asking him to write a message to you on tho postal and mail it.
The Red Cross takes charge of these kits of smoking material and dis
tributes them; the French government sends back the postal bearing a one
cent United States .stamp and admits the tobacco free of duty.
Surely if as busy an organization s the Red Cross Society and as pre
occupied officials as those of the French government will do these filings to
see that our soldiers get n chance to smoke, it isn't asking much to ask you
to set aside one cent a day for the purpose.
Send in your contributions of any amount 2o cents, $1.00, $5.00, or more.
For every 2" cents that you give, a separate postal bearing your name goes
