reconstruction problems.
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. The several com
mittees would have charge of the
army and navy; foreign trade and
commerce: interstate .transportation;
domestic business: employers and em
ployes, and natural resources.

mobilization would be to investigate
and report on the following subjects;

soldiers und sailors and their estab
lishment in homes on the public do
main; and
Ail legislation that may be requir
ed in the proper care for those who
have suffered the dangers of war and
whose ability to earn a livelihood has
been impaired.
The committee on foreign trade
and commerce would have cnarge of
the following problems:
Duties on imports for the protec
tion and encouragement of home in
dustry.
The development of new markets.
Combinations for the purpose cf in
creasing our selling facilities.
Changes in our banking facilities
necessary to co-operate with such
trade.
The supply and control of raw ma
terials and encouragement in the pro
duction of articles that have not here
tofore 'been manufactured in this
country.
The merchant marine including the
construction of ships: the cohtimiancc
of government ownership and opera
tion, and in general the various prob
lems of trasportation on the high
seas. v
To Decide Federal Control
The following problems would be
turned over to the interstate trans
portation committee;
The permanent relation that the
government should sustain to the
common carriers of the country.
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.
The relation that should be estab
lished between inland and water
transportation and the railways. inT
eluding the control of the former.
All questions relating to communi

American combat troops participated
In the action beginning September 26
—known variously as the battle of
the Argonne and the battle of the
Meusc, but which history may call
Sedan —the battle thatbrought Ger
many to her knees and us far ns
human foresight goes ended the
world's bloodiest un<i costliest war.
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

and German armies. Thus it no long

er WHS necessary to pursue a policy
of reducing a salient or nibbling at
It. 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.
