The Cummins resolution provides for six joint congressional commit tees of ten members each. Each com mittee would be composed of five members from each house. While the Democrats are in power the commit tees would be composed each of six Democrats and four Republicans, and the ratio would be reserved after March 4. when the Republicans take control of Congress.

Whether the system of transporta tion now in possession of, and being operated by. the government should be returned to their owners and op erated as before, or whether the gov ernment operation should continue with or without government owner ship; or, if private ownership is to be continued, what system of regulation and control will be best adapted to assure efficiency in service, reasonable rates of transportation and fairness to the capital invested.

In order to understand the military situation which made the Argonne operations tho crux of the war, It Is necessary to go back to the re duction of the St. Mlhlel salient In tho middle of September. This bril liant American accomplishment Is still fresh in history. It cut off at one stroke a menacing enemy pro jection toward Verdun and weakened the enemy's defensive by threaten ing Metz, one otf Germany's two greatest advance railway centers for distributing troops and supplies along the Montmedy-Sedan line. Melt Pivot For Knemy Metz also was the pivot on which the enemy swung through Belgium Into France, nnd therefore obviously it was the pivot on which his re tirement must hinge. The Argonne, the next step below here, threatened the great railway arteries running westward from Metz. With the conclusion of the St. Mlhlel action, the steady Inflow of •American forces caused a displace ment of power as between the Allied and German armies.

The American troops had shown what they could do. A broader policy of general attack along the entire line was then adopt ed and high command called upon General Pershing to take the Argotuie sector, admittedly one of the most, If not entirely the most, difficult of the whole front. Qermany had In four years fortified It to the last de gree of military skill, with superb roads, both rail and motor, connecting up to the rear positions and bases. The outstanding feature of the Ar gonno forest Is a long chain of hills running north and south, covered with a dense growth of trees and un derbrush making an advance difficult and offering superb dcfonslvo qual ities. From tho edge of the forsst, where tho resistance was viciously strong, the enemy possessed Innumerable tlirnklug positions. Hut beyond this difficult region lay the Montmedy- Sodan line, which was recently cap tured. A German order described It as "our Ufa artery." It represented one-half of the German rati supply on the western front. It meant death . If out. [ Tho high command told Pershing t to cut It. The American first army was put In 'motion from St. MUficl. In nine days it was on the Argonne line ready for nn attempt the failure of | which might mean disaster and the success of which would give untold results. This quick movement of an enormous body of men, the establish ment of a new line of supply and all the complicated military perpara tlons, was regarded with pride by the American commander. They knew that on them depended the fate of the great attack on the rest of the front. If forced back here tho enemy must give way to the west. If he held he could hold elsewhere. Yankees Go In Sept. 20 It was at daybreak of September 26 when the Americans went in. Us ing nine divisions for the preliminary I attack and under vigorous artillery : support they advanced Ave kilometers I the first day. But the enemy was not taken wholly by surprise. The sec ond day he threw Into the line five counterattack divisions ho had held in close reserve. They were his best troops, but they failed not only to push the Americans back, but failed to check the gradual ndvanoe of the Americans, over the difficult terrain. The first phase of the action ended October it. during which the Ameri cans compelled the enemy to use a large number of divisions, which be came slowly exhausted and thus were unable to parry the hammering he was receiving from tho French and British on the west. The original nine American divisions In some cnaes wore kept In the lino over throe con secutive weeks. The American re serves then were thrown In until every division not engaged on another part of the line had been put in ac tion. * It Is a fact commented upon with pride by the American commanders and complimented by tho Allies that seven of theso divisions that drove their way through tyis hard action never before had been In an active sector, while green troops, fresh from home, wore poured In as replace ments. | The Associated Press dispatches from day to day told what these men i did; how the enemy was slowly push i ed back from his strongest and most vital positions, through one defense system after another, using his lln est selected troops, which had been withdrawn In many Instances from other portions of the line. fill Division* Fight Yanks The attack delivered the morning of November 1, which began the sec ond phase of the Argonne battle, was the death blow to the German army. Between September 26 and October 31 enemy divisions to the number of 36 were identified as being opposed to the Americans In this sector. Be tween November 1 and November 6 the enemy threw In 14 fresh divi "sions, but all In vain.
