With the British Armies in the Field,
Feb. 21. Aerial cavalry has been suc
cessfully and extremely busy during the
past few gorgeous days in the high.
freezing, sun-filled heaven.
The kaiser's aerial Uhlans continue to
battle Britain's cloud-hurdling lancers,
which are daily observing preparations
for the German offensive.
Thirty-five German war planes have
been destroyed in the post three days
and 19 driven eastward, uncontrolled
a total of 64, "quiet-UBed" by the Brit
ishers, of whom only ten are missing, de
spite the severest and almost unending
fighting day and night
While Hindenbarg and Ludendorff are
poring over the details of their impend
ing forlorn hope, the air is filled with the
throbbing of motors, the faint patter of
machine guns and the thunder of air
bombs exploding in towns and villages
behind the firing lines.
The British airmen have dropped huge
quantities of explosives on billets, ammu
nition dumps, railway stations and aero
dromes in northern France. They attack
ed enemy quarters from just above the
roofs, machine gunned marching columns,
disrupted transport trains nnd wrecked
big gun pits. The fine, freezing weather
has aided them greatly. '
Meantime, British troops are busy
raiding and repulsing raids. Short, sharp
clnshes are constantly occurring on the
frozen earth of No Man's Land. The Ice
in shell holes is sufficiently strong to
support the death grappling men.
The Britishers are In fine fettle, not
nervous, and ready whenever Hlndenburg
starts. Wlillo this may happen any day
the Germans may try to surprise the al
lies by a sudden shift, or may attempt
to produce o Btato of "nerves" by fur
ther delay.

shal Halg. ...

Washington, Feb. 21. Graft exists to
an alarming degree among officers and
directors of the federal reserve system,
Chairman Caster Glass of the house
banking and currency committee charg
ed today in introducing amendments to
the federal reserve act submitted by the
treasury department.
"Particularly in the east, officers of
the federal banks are selling their lnflu
ence so that certain persona who really
have bribed them, may obtain federal
loans. Glass said.
"To break up this practice and to clar-
ify the penal provisions of the act, which
have been the. excuse for some- of this
work, the amendments make it a crime,
punishable by imprisonment for an off!
cer. 'to accept any ree, commission or
gift ' in obtaining loans or to take any
loan of more than $10,000 from the re
serve bank for his personal use.'"
Other amendments which were in
eluded in one bill extend the scope of
the federal reserve system in the line of
general trust business. State banks have
bitterly fought the encroachment of the
federal reserve act on this phase of
banking, but the provisions regarding
trust business were recently held invalid
by the supreme court.
Changes in the groupings of bnnks so
as not to ignore the small Institutions in
the elections of directors were also
recommended.
"The directors now are not represent
ative enough." Glass said. "Too many
of them come from the big banks."
Looking toward American business af
ter the war, the provisions of the act
concerning foreign banking are modified
so that American institutions may great-
Iv extend their operations. Banks of this
sort would be granted charters of the
federal system by the new amendment
Authorisation of reserve notes in do
nominations of $1,000, $5,000 and $10,
000 is provided. -
Washington, Feb. 21. The sub-committee
of the senate judiciary committee
today voted, three to two, to report fa
vorably the "empowering" bill, designed
to give President Wilson auruoniy iu
slash red tape in the war department.
Senators Overman, Nelson and Flet
cher voted for the favorable report, with
Senators Reed and Dillingham against it.
The committee amended the bill in
several particulars but did not change
its purpose, that of giving the president
broad powers of re-organizing govern
mental agencies in practically any way
be may see fit for more effective prose
cution of the war.
Onlv two amendments limit in any
wav his nower. One eliminates the au
thority originally conferred for creation
of new agencies without congressional
action. The other provides that appro
nrlations heretofore made for any execu
tive department shall c-e spent oniy lor

BY L. C. MARTIN,
United Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Feb. 21. Congress today
put the finishing touches on the railroad
control bill the ftrat big "win the war"
measure to be passed at this session.
The senate began voting on amend
ments with strong hope of getting a final
vote on the bill itself tonight. From 'Jt
m. today debate will be limited. Ben
ator Lewis, Illinois, is the only senator
with a set speech to make. Debate and
disposition of the largo number of
amendments will take many hours, with
five and ten minute speeches on each.
Senator Cummins has nearly a dozen
amendments, designed to reduce compen
sation to the roads, and to deflno govern
mental powers more specifically than
the committee bill. Senator Townsend of
Michigan has offered a complete substi
tute bill, while a score of other changes
will be sought
There is no doubt the bin will be pass
ed and Senator Smith of South Carolina
who has charge of it. predicted today It
will not be greatly amended. .
The house will end general debate on
the measure and begin considering It
under a five-minute rule. Prospects for
Its passage this week are bright. The
conference between the two houl
should take bnt a few days and Indica
tions today were that President Wilson
will get the measure for signature late
next week. '
Meantime, preparations went on apace
t: speed up other war measures. Secre
tary of the Treasury McAdoo is re-writ
ing several provisions of the war finance
corporation bill, covering exceptional
cases, and will return the measure to the
finance committee today. . -

Washington, Feb. 21. When Count
Czernin again answers President Wll
Bon's peace proposals in the Austrian
parliament he will have a new force to .
consider. This is the belief here today,
following publication of a United Presi
despatch from the Hague, telling of a
socialist demand for consideration in
Austria of the Amorican president's pro
The feeling here is that the wedga
between Germany and Austria Is slowly -but
surely being forced. Whether it even
tually wUl lead to an actual breach be
tween the two nations Is a matter of
conjecture, but in circles close to the
situation, the belief is it will, not at this
time. Military men point out Austria
cannot afford..to apllt with her powetf,--fnl
ally.-
The demand, of the socialists, how
ever, is a straw, bending to the current
diplomats believe is forming In Austria.
It is an indication, they declare, that
President Wilson's statements are hav
ing the desired effect How much power
the group of socialists hss to influence
the government is unknown here.
General weariness of the war. to
gether with a growing dissatisfaction
with proposals that Austria join a new
drive on Russia,, Is believed to be re
sponsible for the demands. . '
