War Cabinet Bill Sparks Senate Clash
On January 22 1918 Senator Chamberlain introduced a war cabinet bill in congress meeting strong opposition from President Wilson. Russian delegates at Brest Litovsk agreed January 24 to reject Germanys peace offers, with terms demanding cession of Courland and Baltic provinces. The Piave drive by French forces on January 20 began a successful push as Austrians retreated, allowing a northern defense shift away from Monte Monteners toward Calcina Torrent and Monte Spinancia.
