Piscnsslons of Parliamentary

With Cynical Interest.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 21. fn the gen-

papers of parliamentary reform and
cabinet changes, officials here think
they see the beginning of another phase
of the German peace offensive.
As in 1917. when the prospects of
German success were dark and it ap
peared that some concessions would
have to be made to meet the demands

offensive began. For weeks vic

the German banners. Today the allied

since, at dawn on March 21. the area
est battle of history began. It has been
a period of almost incessant fighting
ana or bewildering changes in the sit
uations that developed from day to day
ana rrom week to week.
The allies knew they faced Germany
mightiest effort last March, but they
siooa unaxrald. Released by the abso
lute collapse of Russia, vast numbers
or oerman veterans had been rushed
to the western front and been give
intensive training for the offensive.
Germany made no secret of her inten
tton. It was known that great bodte
of men and tremendous stores of muni
tions had been concentrated at stra
tegic points. It waa even known where
the Germans would launch their firs
attack and for weeks the eyes of the
allies bad been fixed on the lonr curv
ing line from Le Fere to Arras, the
stage where the first act of the great
arama would be enacted.
Moving with swiftness, the German
forces swept ever the British lines in
Picardy and rolled west like a tidal
wave during the closing days-of March,
until at last the British reached posi
tlons where they could stand at bay
and the French had come to form
living wall before the gray-clad host of
tne uerman Emperor. Then the 'of
fensive stopped.

allies hope that the German tide would
be safely stemmed, and this feeling was
heightened during the succeeding three
or four weeks by a serleet of local ac
tions along the front from Soisson to

were driven back steadily from points
of tactical value. 'What was not known

American lines - subjected to assault
were standing firmly in every -, vital
part of the front and that it was only
by the greatest effort that the Germans
pounded tneir way ahead in the region
southwest of Rheims and astride the
Marne west of Epernay. The allies had
solved the German system of offense
and were able to hold their ground.

On July 18. Marshal Foch launched
an attack which has changed the whole
complexion of the situation. From
Fontenoy on the Aisne west of Sols
sons, to Chateau Thierry on the Marne,
the German lines were torn- to pieces
and the Marne salient threatened to
collapse. It was only by the most
savage fighting that the Germans suc
ceeded in saving their army from dis
aster, and retreated -across the Vesle
River.
On August 8. the French and British
stormed the German lines in Picardy
from the Ancre River to Moreuil, north
of Montdidier, and sent the enemy reel
ing back toward the Somme. The next
day the French crushed in the German
front south of Montdidier and then
linking their lines with those of the
British farther north, forced the in
vaders back. Less than two weeks
later the German lines southwest of
Arraa were attacked 'and these gave
way and the forces holding them joined
their comrades farther south in a re
treat which has now virtually reached
tne oerman lines as they were on
March 21, from Arras to the Chemin des
Dames.
The Germans then began a with
drawal from the Flanders salient and
today they are nearly back to the
lines from which they sallied late in
April.
Thus far the allied drive might have
been considered in the light of defen
sive operations, but the work has not
paused with the mere repulse of the
enemy. His positions along the Hin
denburg line east of Arras have been
wrested from-tiim, while farther south,
near St. Quentin. the British, have, in
recent days, fought their way Into the
enemy's lines where ha had planned
to atanrt on the defensive.
The First American Field Army has
obliterated the St. Mihiel salient and
straightened the line east of Verdun
and now stands before Metz. into which
American shells are falling.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, 8ept- 2L Apparently for purely
partisan purposes, the effort la being
mad to convince the people of the
country that the water-power bill as
passed by the House of Representatives
is a measure in tha interests of large
capitalists and against the Interest of
the Government ana the piople In gen
eral.
Because Representative ferns, or
Oklahoma, who is chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Committee,
and who boasted that there was no
water power in his district, fought the
bill and enlisted the President in bis
favor, without the President being tn
possession of all the facta, the Demo
crats cress has taken up the fight
against the bill and misrepresented its
effect.
Net much partisan advantage can he
secured in this manner, however, for
ti.e reason that the bill was reported by
a committee a majority of whose mum-
ers were Democrats, and waa passed
by a House in control of the Demo
crats. It ia true that the greater part
if the support of the bill came from
Itenublicans. but it could not nave been
reported or passed without large Demo
cratic support. The vote wu not on
party lines, some Republicans opposing
tue bill.
The chief criticism of the Mil is di-
tected against that clause which pro
vides that at the end of the itl-year
lease of a water power developed by
private capital, the Government may
take the project over upon payment of
the "net Investment" that is. the in
vestment lees any excess profits that
may have accrued to the operating
company.
That the Interests of the public have
been safeguarded is shown by the fact
thaU the) bill provides for a state or
Federal regulation of rates that can be
charged by a power-development com
pany, thus preventing exorbitant
charges.
The "net investment" provision was
originated by Clyde EL. Aitchison, of
Oregon, whom President Wilson ap
pointed a member of the Interstate
Comerce Commission. It was studied
and expressly indorsed by Secretary of
the Interior Lane, formerly a member
of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. Both Aitchison and Lane have for
many years given extensive study to
problems of valuation of property of
public service corporations, a subject
to which the President probably has
not given a week's study. The provision
was also studied and indorsed by Sec
retary of Agriculture Houston and Sec
retary of War Baker, the latter known
to be a conservationist and predisposed
toward extra precautions in guarding
... rv.r,.u ...tcresis against corporate
The support for the bill came chiefly

u.mnu water powers In their dis

such form as to induce men of capital
and enterprise to Invest in water-power
development, at the same time guard
ing the people against extortionate
charges for service, and providing a
means by which the Government may
eventually take control of the power
projects-by repaying the investors the
ret amount of money they have put
into them.

FINNS OUT WITH CHALLENGE I
"Brazen Forgeries" Are Documents
From Russia, Says Bureau Head.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21. The authen
ticity of the documents brought hack
from Russia by Edgar Sisson, special
representative of the committee on
public Information and given out by
the committee as proof of Bolshevikl
intrigue with Germany, was challenged
here today by S. Nuorteva, head of
the Finnish Information Bureau.
He declared that the documents are
"brazen forgeries" and were issued by
"certain counter-revolutionists" who
were Interested in discrediting the
Trotzky-Lenine regime. The docu
ments, he eaid, were secured by Mr.
Sisson from Raymond Robins, of the
American Red Cross, to whom they
had been eent by the counter revolu
tionist and who had established that
they were forgeries. Mr. Nuorteva
said that at the time January, I91S-
Mr. Robins, with the consent of the
American Ambassador, waa keeping in
touch with the Russian government
According to Mr Nuorteva, Mr. Robins,
aided by William B. Thompson and
Mavor T. Thatcher, also of the Amerl
can Ited Cross, conducted an investiga
tion which convinced them that the
documents were forgeries. Then, Mr.
Nuorteva declared, Mr. Sisson while in
Mr." Robins' office, "got hold of the
above forementloned "forged docu
ments." and later cabled them to Amer
lea. Before he had cabled them, how
ever, Mr. Muroteva sain air. oisson
agreed with Mr. Robins that they "were
auite unreliable.
Further belief that the documents
were forgeries, Mr. Nuorteva declared,
is found in the fact that none oi tnera
was used against Trotzky at his trial
in July and August. 1917. "at the time
when the Kerensky government was
vitally Interested in convicting Trotzky
and Lenine as German agents.
According to Nuorteva, fli. Haipern,
who conducted the trial or Trotzky,
told Mr. Robins he did not produce the
documents, some of which then were
in Kerensky hands, because it had been
learned that they were forgeries.
After Mr. Sisson had cabled the docu
ments to America, jar. i jui lc de
clared there was a meeting between
Sisson.- Robins. Thatcher and Arthur
Bullard, of the committee on public in
formation, at which Thatcher criti
cised Sisson for the manner in which
he had handled the matter.

ment late tonight, Mr. Sisson said:
