4 DEMAND MADE FOR 'IRON FIST' TO CURB I.W.W. Northwest May Deal Harshly With Agitators, Sen ate Is Told Washington, March 22.—Warnings that the people of the Pacific North west, tired of I. W. W. activities, might take the law into their own hands to suppress traitorous con duct; charges that the government itself had "coddled" the leaders, and predictions that sabotage and other hampering action to embarrass the government's aircraft program ore likely to break out in the spring and summer, featured the Senate debate yesterday on the administration's bill to empower the government to com mandeer timber and conduct logging operations. The debate flared up so suddenly and lasted so long that time allotted For Constipation!

Purgatives and cctjiertics are drastic and usually cause a reaction. Saline waiters are rapid in action but do no moio than empty the bowels. Just as certain an effect; and certainly a much more pleasant one; can be obtained by the use of a combination of simple laxative herbe with pepsin sold by druggists under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It acta gently, without griping. It is an especially ideal medicine for children, women, old people and others who find purges too powerful. <* Only a teaspoonful is required; and by morning the move ment is free and complete. A bottle in the house is insurance for the whole family against constipation, indigestion, head aches, flatulency and other digestive ills.

Senators were not sparing in their declarations that the government should act swiftly and drastically to meet what they characterized as a menace to the people. Senator Cham berlain particularly declared it might be necessary to send troops into the spruce forests to protect workers getting out the precious timbers for the airplanes. "Not until men with guns are sent In can we get the necessary spruce," he said. "The X. W. W. will not al low men to work in the forests." Senator Borah, of Idaho, declared the government could deal adequate ly with the I. W. W. without resort to force and by orderly lawful ac tion.

May Run New Trolley Cars Here Under Own Power The freight embargo will not inter fere with the delivery here of the five new cars for the Harrisburg Hallways Company if all of the neces sary parts can be gotten tlirough to Philadelphia. President Frank B. Iftisser, of the Railways Company, litis returned from Philadelphia where he went in an effort to have work hastened on the cars. He found that the cars are nearing completion but that some gears and motors are need ed to finish them. Under ordinary circumstances ears are shipped here by freight and the motors are in stalled here. Officials have now got ten in touch with the West.inghousc Company, in Pittsburgh, and made a request (hat the motors be shipped to Philadelphia instead of this city. If the freight, embargo still holds when the cars are completed, then they will be run here under their own power. They will be run from Philadelphia to Pottstown and then to Norristown, Heading, Ephrata, Lebanon, Hershey and Hummelstown. The new cars may be here within a month. Spanish Liner Held Up by U-Boat and Forced Back Home By Associated Press Cadiz, Spain, Thursday, March 21. The Spanish trans-Atlantic liner Montevideo, which sailed for New York Monday, was held up by a Ger man submarine Tuesday and forced to return here. After tiring a warn ing shot, the submarine came along side the liner and made the captain pvomise not to use the wireless. The captain was then taken aboard the submarine while German sailors searched the Montevideo. KARRISBURG CHfftt TELEGRAPH CAPITAL CALM AS FIRST NEWS COMES [Continued from First Page.] really is the forerunner of some other movement. There is a marked tendency among American Army officers here not to accept the present movement as the real offensive until it is more fully demonstrated. Suspicious of Object Despite announcement from Lon don that the German war machine is attacking on a wider front than ever before attempted in the west, there is a distinct feeling here that the move may not prove more than a gigantic deni9nstration to overawe European neutrals or cloak some other purpose. American observers think the mil itary situation in France is against the probability of a real German of fensive at this time. The views pre vail that Germany now would hard ly stake- the issue of the war on a desperate drive against the all but impregnable allied line in the west. Reports from Holland that Ger many semiofficially has made a peace offer to the Entente, coming at the same time as the attack, engaged immediate attention. Although there was nothing 'to confirm the reports, it was pointe # d out that the threat of German gun's may be for its effect on the people of England and France. Some see significance in the fact that the drive follows closely on the seizure of Dutch ships in American and British waters. Confidence in Allies Supreme confidence is expressed on every hand, however, in the allies' ability to arrest the Germans even should the attack now reported un der way from I-a Fere to the Scarpe prove to be the grand offensive. Members of the House Military Committee heard the first meager details of yesterday's German at tack as received by the War Depart ment when they met to-day with the War Council under the new policy adopted by Actfng Secretary Crowell, ot taking Congress into the confi dence of the government. The mili tary authorities pointed out to the representatives that nothing had come from the fighting front as yet to indicate the scope of the German n;o\ ement. The committee members again were informed in detail of the prog ress made in all branches of Ameri can war preparations. They appear ed satisfied that every possible effort is being made by the War Depart ment to hasten the war program. Members of the Senate Committee will meet the War Council again to morrow. Arrangements for joint ses sions have not been completed. Developments in the fighting were awaited last night with a calmness born of the assurance that the Brit ish armies were braced for the blow and that the western line cannot be broken. It may be bent or crushed here and there on local sectors, but the Alli*>s know only too well the fruitlessness of attempting a strate gic break through the fixed posi- tions stretching: northward from Switzerland to the sea. The Italian lines were brozen last fall, but the positions in that the ater of war are not to be compared with those on the western front. The massing of troops in the west has been suck ever since the battle of the Marne that all attempts to make a breach that would throw the war into open fighting have proved of no avail. Several times in 1916 and 1917 the British felt they were near the goal of open warfare. Sev eral times the long idle British cav alry was ready to gallop through the broken lines in a dashing attack on gun positions and enemy com munications, but on every occasion the difficulties of the long-fought - over battlefields proved ,soo great to be overcome. '*• Believe Offensive Is On There was a disposition and yet a reluctance in army circles to believe that yesterday's attack from Lagin court to Gouzeacourt was really the beginning of the much-discuased German offensive. The War De partment announced on Monday tjbat was every reason to be lieve the proposed offensive had been abandoned, but the departmental re view has taken such conflicting views of the situation during the last two months that its conclusions were re garded more as the result of specu lation than of known fact. It has been expected, however, that the main German assault would be pre ceded by more of an artillery pre paration than was suggested in the meager dispatches that came through from the battlefront yes terday. More direct information was wanted before any one would haz ard a guess as to whether the attack upon the British was to be the main thrust of the German offensive or whether it was a feint to draw all possible mobile reserves in that di rection so that the principal assault might be delivered In an entirely different sector. Several reasons to doubt the at tack south of Arras as the main arm of any offensive the Germans ma> have planned suggested themselves to military critics. In the first place it has been taken for granted that the greatest drive would be directed against the French, for the general belief prevails that the French lines, long drawn out, are not so heavily held as the British. Secondly, the strategists here have figured for a long time that if the main trust was to be against the British it would be undertaken somewhere north of Ypres in an attempt to carry out the frustrated German plans of 1914, which contemplated the cap ture of Calais and possibly Boulogne, the ports through which most of the stalwart British army has poured so easily into France. On the other hand, the attack be tween Arras and St. Quentin was not unexpected. As a matter of fact, the British announced some time ago that they had information leading them to expect a blow in that sector. The thing that puzzles is that the coun try lying back of the front attacked yesterday offers very poor compen sation for the losses that must be entailed in taking it. The British had a purpose in attacking in the Cambria sector last fall. The city of Cambrai, lying a few miles behind the German lines, was a prize worth capturing. The German counterat tack which drove the British back to their original positions was a bril liant stroke and easily understood. But back of the British lines at tacked yesterday lies a barren coun try. Stretching before the plunging Germans, blindly driven against the. massed British guns, are the dead battlefields of the Rcwnnie and the devastated country laid waste during the German retreat of just a year ago. The thrust between Lagnioourt and Gouzeaucourt, if carried home, would lead the Germans in the di rection of tho ruined city of Ba paume which was the goal of the British armies during the battle of the Somme in 1916, when every inch of ground was contested with a bit terness that took an appalling toll of German, French and British lives. Bapaume was not taken by as sault. It was occupied only when the Germans abandoned it on St. Pat rick's Day a year ago. The ghastly story the German trenches flanking this fleld Gibraltar told will never be forgotten by those who had to cross them in the wake of the re treating enemy. They were long, open graves, choked in places with the piled-up dead of months of fight ing. British artillery had never ceased to pound the German posi tions day and night. It Sjas easy to see how the German troops had been plagued by their own dead. The incessant tire made decent burials impossible. It was apparent the German sol diers would simply fling a fallen comrade over the rear wall of the forward trenches and there let him lie until an exploding shell would blow fragments of him- back upon them. The Germans In retreating from Bapaume to the Hindenburg line, stretching from Queant to St. Quen tin. declared at the time that in de stroying every bit of shelter In the evacuated country they were pre paring a battlefield for their own operations in the future. Not a tree was left standing that might screen a squad of defending soldiers. Now the Germans appear to be attempt ing to make good their boast of con ing back over this terrain, but what a price they must pay for land so freely yielded twelve short months ago! The report that Austro-Hungarian guns were participating in the bom bardments on the western front yes terday was received with marked in terest in Washington. This is the first time that Austrian units have ap peared in the west. The Austrian military authorities have protested often against the proposition that they should lend aid to the Germans in France and Flanders, but at last they seem to have yielded to the pressure that constantly has been brought upon them. Whether Aus trian infantry regiments are to par ticipate in the German campaign re mains to be seen. It is evident, how ever, the Germans felt the need of tho Austrian guns released from the Russian front. In view of the German attack yes terday the report from Amsterdam that Germany had ,- on foot" semi official peace noKotiatlons with the Entente was received here with much skepticism. If Germany has any peace ideas and hopes to force them upon tlie Entente through a display of military pressure, such as that begun at dawn yesterday morn ing, it was declared here last night that its statesmen had shown re newed ignorance of the psychology of.the peoples with whom they are dealing. WOUK ON NKW CURVE ' Work on the construction of a curve track at Cameron and Market streets, was started this morning bv a force of men employed by the Harrishurg Hallways Company. When the curve Is completed, special cars carrying workmen from Hteelton morning und evening and bound for the Hill dis trict. will be run from Campion street directly onto the eastbound tracks In Market street, thus elimin ating the necessity of running the ears onto the westbound tracks and then switching them back to the east, bound line.
