THE rival armies are now close to

arated the trenches yesterday. Every

ing and the close of the day found the
allies left reaching up sim further
north.
THE battle has become TO some ex-

the left and the enemy's offensive
against the center and the right.
The failure Of the enemy to shake Off
the Tightening grip OF the allies on the
Disc aid, north of the Somme was ace
companied yesterday by a renewed att
tempt to smash the line. There wa.

country between the road from tho
Somme to Chalons and the railway

BYRNE WAS PIONEER IN
URGING PASS LAWS

PIERRE. S. D., Sept. 2S.-In reference
to r.. o, Richards claiming credit for
he passage OF the anti-pass law, Gov
ernor Pyrne said today:
That is a most astonishing claim.
in 1906 I collected every anti-pass law
In existance anywhere, and almost
everything that had been published on
the subject. / had a bill carefully pre-
pared before any state had passed an
anti-pass law. / wrote 1t and rewrote
1t before the legislature met, and
brought II to Pierre with me.
Richards never saw the bill or any
draft of 1t until 1t was printed as a
bill in the legislature. He never adj
vocated or favored the bill, and spoke
d~isparagingly OF 1t. II is remarkable
that he should now be claiming credit
for the bill that he belittled at a time
when commentator would have been
welcome"
