Washington, Jan. 18. Con gressional leaders declare that congress will hereafter be very cautious in sharing its powers by even giving them to the presi dent.

As a result of what may be deemed an affront to the execu tive branch will be a "go slow" attitude towards the pending railroad bill, it is predicted. It the leaders present plans to carry all powers under the mea- sures they will be strictly limited and easy of revocation by con gress by such action without disturbing the structure of the government and control of the railroads. The propects are that there will be modification of, the pow- ers under the food control law. Some senators declare that in this coal order the nation has had a taste of what marks very, stronsrlv of autoeraev while we are supposed fighting the de- throne such thoughts.

STAFF CORRESPONDENT ACC 2MPANIES PATROL ON DARK NIGHT INTO DREADED SPACE BETWEEN TWO ARMIES TRENCHES SAFEST PLACE COMPARED TO IT (BY UNITED PRESS) With the French Armies in the Field, Jan. 17. Night patrolling reconnaissance in No-man 's Land is a something that every first lme soldier knows. The constant surveillance of the enemy necessitates almost nightly examination of the blighted strip, of ground in front of) the trench es'; wire entanglments on the freiiidly ride as well as that of the enemy. Men who find monotony in night trenches draw their packet of thrills from the silent games of ! "hide and seek" that can be play- , ed in No Man s .Land on any ; moouless nij?ht Trench soldiers curse the moon, "G them a few rounds with the mitrailleuse and see if they're still alive," the company ordered. A machinegun lieutenant sent a j panoramic sweep of lead out into ! the darkness. A parachute flare sky-rocketed up from a few yards away and floated down lighting "P nothing but the frosty tangle ; of wire and the dull grey grass ahed. Then it became quiet again j "The Boehe is not very hateful ! tonight" the captain suggests. i The night patrol is starting. The trench has been warned not to fire at crawling figures in No Man's Land. A captain and lieu- tenant crawl "over the top," leading the way.

A half dozen poilus fol low two deadly, "pineapple" bombs in each hand and the party picks its way cautiously through the wire. "It always seems a long time the first time you come through the wire," the captain apologeti cally whispers. But he's telling a polite little lie and knows it be cause his first sensation in wire climbing was years ago in this war and now a faded memory. "Rat-tat-tat" a Boche ma chine gun breaks the silence. Everybody flattens 'against the ground and waits until the still ness becomes depressing. This 'rat-tat-tat' shows that the Boche is sill really very much alive and is a warning to be cautious. Most any minute an unfreindly para chute flare is likely. The patrol's work is done. It has found OiHiig "unusual in No Man's Land." As stealthily as any North American Indian ever crouched or crawled the patrol heads back but ready to flatten out again with a second s notice. But quiet continues and you return to the freindly wire, crawl and wriggle through it and into the trench which, for the first time during he night, has the sensation of be ing the safest place in the world.
