URGE MR.. GRANTLAND
FOR SPEAKERSH|P
Representative of Second
District Being Advocated for
House Presiding Officer
FOR THE
LEGISLATIVE PLACES

Charles H. Grantland is being mem
toned, prominently and favorably,
for speaker of the House OF Repre-
sentatives, to succeed Chauncey p.
Holcomb, Democrat. Mr.. Grantland
was elected a Representative in the
Second district in this city two years
ago. In the legislative session Of
1918 he displayed such an intelligent
grasp Of public affairs and such ac-
tivity as a legislative worker that his
Republican friends in the district
re-nominated him last fall and his
constituents reelected him.
Since Mr.. Grantland's name has be-
gun TO figure in the House organiza-
ton, many politicians and business
men, Republicans and Democrats, have
Joined in asserting that such a selec-
tion for speaker would be an admir-
able one. They point to his active and
dignifed record in 1918 as showing
that he possesses qualities which fit
him well for presiding officer of the
House.
"He has intelligence. tact, force, in
I dustry and experience" said one OF
his legislative colleagues to day. I'm
fact, my association with him in the
session of 1913 led me to the con-
clusion that he was one Of the ablesi
members of the House. Although q
Republican, his genial personality and
unfailing courtesy caused him to be
as popular with the Democratic mem
bers as he was with his own party
colleagues. My opinion is that he
would make an ideal speaker. His
experience in the last legislative ses
sion would be of incalculable value

NEW YORK. Dec. 5-(11 a. MI
The French are trying to develop new
offensives in Alsace and Lorraine.
General Joffre has returned from a
personal inspection OF Southern
Alsace. where he made reassuring
speeches to the inhabitants suggest
ing a French advance. at the same
time there are recurring references in
the Paris official bulletins to a move
ment on Metz. in Lorraine.
simultaneously with the tentative
development of these new offensives,
the official French military journal,
The Bulletin Des Armees, explains
that "The higher commands, renewed
because of necessary dismissals, have
not committed any of these errors
during the past three months which
were observed and punished during
August"
The mistakes thus openly acknowl-
edged by the French government of
course are not publicly known. But
it is well understood that the most
serious of them occurred during the
first impetuous effort in August, to
carry the offensive into Alsace and
Lorraine.
At Mulhausen. in Southern Alsace,
mysterious blunder by the French
commander led large numbers Of the
invaders into the first known trap OF
the war. Details are concealed by the
government. but it is believed faulty
reconnaissance caused the French TO
| march blindly over a German mine
field, which was exploded with terri
flying results. About the same time,
further north, in Lorraine, the MAI
seilles army corps became panic
stricken az a critical moment during
the Saarburg operations, bringing the
Lorraine offensive to a hasty and in
glorious end.
Assurances that the incompetent
generals responsible for those mis-
fortunes. have been dismissed are a
reinsurance to the French nation that
hasty enthusiasms will not again serve
for serious military campaigning. Last
August, the French generals we're car
ried away by sentiment when they
crossed with their armies into the
lost provinces. Their Judgment was
blinded and they went ahead too
quickly. The lessons of the disasters
that we're thus invited have been learn
ed. Since then, caution has been the
prime characteristic of French leader
ship.
In the present Alsace and Lorraine Of
/ fensives, the new methods are very evi-
dent There has been a persistent ad-
vanc on Metz for a number of weeks,
but the progress has been at snaiPs
pace The outer defenses Of the princi-
pal Lorraine stronghold are now coming
within range of the French guns. Never
theless, the policy of caution is obvious
" restraining the French from blunder-
ing into impetuous operations which the
name Of Metz would have caused last
August.
Similarly. in Upper tSouthen) Al
SAGE. General Jofire's assurance TO the
pro- French population that they need
/ feel no alarm about the Germans, has n
different ring 10 what it would have
meant in August. -Four months ago il
would have had the inconsequenti1l
flavor of banquet oratory; today Il
means the French believe they have
checked the Germans in Upper Alsac'
and their army is in a strategically ad
yantageous position.
