General Nivelle is driving his wedge with sledge-hammer blows against the Geimans today north -of La Fere and at the same time, by hot pursuit, is forging another wedge in the direction of Laon. The most bitter fighting of the advance and the retreat so far is centering around the point of this gec ond wedge near St. Gobain forest," into which the French now seek to penetrate, following their capture of Coucy wood and four nearby viljage.3. The French have taken important po sitions in the region of Leilly Neuville and have advanced noith of the Ailette.

Theie will be no lluropeun war business, nor any other, until this Important piece of loutlne pioeedure Is disposed of, for at piesent theie Is no House of Ilepre sentatives, technically speaking, no Speaker,, no organisation, save the clerk, the ser-geant-at-aims, tlie dooi keeper and certain other clerical attaches who aie holding on by sufferance, as it were, until tho Sixty fifth Congress gets together and determines Its future toutso of action All pending matter, all bills, lesolifrtons and tlie like died -when tlie Slxtv -fourth Congress adjourned without day March i last at high noon. All measiues on the calendar not then reached and all matters, unfinished before the committees "gave up the ghost" along with the iiiiny bill the sundry civil bill, the rivers and haibors bill and the urlous other appioprlatlou bills that failed of final passage. The new Congress, being a law unto Itself, will deal with these matters and such new projects as may bo presented as If theie had been nit Sixty-fourth Congiess. Much of tho old mateilul being In convenient form for piompt action by the committees of the new Congress will doubtless be of service to the new members, but none of IW Is binding upon the new body. The right of one Congress to disregard the work1 of its predecessor is Inviolate. A new Congress comes fresh from tho people, nccordlng to the theory that holds here, and is therefore more responsive to the will of the people. Therefore an expiring Con gress cannot Vnd its successor. Each Con gress for Itself, so runs the practice and the law, Into tho new Congress will come a largje proportion of new faces, the Jtepubllcan gains being greater than the Democratic, and all of these new members anxious to start out right are looking .forward to rec ognition, They want to be considered Ih the House organization b uwyiwiu line 1017, I Till PUBLIO LtDOIR CoUriNt NEWS CALLED FOR GUARD DUTY Oitlets Wood, coiuiuaudci' of (he A'partincnt LOYAL TO AMERICA .lames u. uiivci. wlm lias ueen ciuer of of obtaining Impoitaiit committee assign ments. Every new man counts for something at home and will naturally seek to count for something ,ln Washington, but theie will be disappointments: that is Inevitable. Which ever paity wins the House organization will win the committee chairmanships and the pationage about the Capitol, which Is now Democratic; but the party which loses Is lellcved of the responsibility and can fight fieely, which is something, of compen sation, at least, to a virile minority. There are rumors of an attempt, at a bi partisan organization of the next House, but they aie rumors only, although the voting promises to be so close as to make possible an upsel of the rules, if not of homo of the committees. Whether the Democrats or Republicans elect the Speaker, eternal vigilance will be the watchword on every Important bill during the next two years, especially If theie'ls a touch ofol Itlcs In It """ Each side will have to get Its full .mem bership, out, blnce in many cases a single vote win tteterinlne the Urue. It Is this uncertainty nbout the attendance of straight Republicans and Democrats that has given a possible undue Importance to certain Independents who are now being well tied up to one side or the other, but wlip record themselves as Socialist, Pro hibitionist, Progressive, Independent and so foith., These independents will have their Influence, but their preferences as to party measures are generally anticipated, so that In the crucial voting tests they may not figure so much, as will absentees In the regular party tests. This explains the de termined efforts of both parties. Democrats and Republicans, to bring every member to Washington on Monday next when the Clerk of the House, dr at least the Clerk of the House, In the Sixty-fourth Congress, will have the honor of calling the Sixty fifth Congress to order, for the election pf a Speaker tyid for other purposes or or ganization. rWmr P0!
