The allied troops followed the example

The artillery of both armies kept up an

have found reason for the wonderful pre-

MOTORCYCLE ARTILLERY

One, of the novel features of this
great steam gasoline electricity ener-
gized war is the motorcycle artillery
unit. The motorcycle has been adapt
ed to war usage in several more
Obvious ways. 1t is employed for
the mounting of scouts, messengers
and despatchs carriers. 1t has, like
wise, been used in limited way in
the organization OF flying skirmishing
forces, cavalry more speedy and
more enduring than that horse-mount-
ed. In such war service, the motor
cycle has long been seen with the
European armies at maneuvers.
The motorcycle as light artillery
unit, is, however, of newer adaptation.
Machines in the artillery service
carry rapid-frers mounted upon Q
sidecar chassis. They are manned
by crew Of two, the driver and the
gun operator. Their especial advan-
tage is that Of being able to keep
steadily with their divisions at the
regular marching pace, and at a mo-
ment's notice, to be able to dash
ahead to some distant point at high
rate of speed, getting into action with
terrible swiftness. The motorcycle ar
tillery is machine gun mobility to the
last degree.

Our Next President.

Shake and rattle the Democratic

name will come forth as prospective
Democratic presidential nominee for

bag would not be crowded.
On the other hand, splendid as
sortment of names has already beer
mentioned as possible Republican
presidential nominees and many more
eligfbles, will be found before the
nominating convention is held. The
recent general election shows that
the Republican presidential nomina.
ton will be decidedly worth having

excuse for the talk Of possibilities

Unbalanced or Deceptlye

Members Of the Wilson cabinet who
claim to see Democratic victory in
the Republican landslide November 3
are either mentally unbalanced OF
are trying to deceive the people. Their
vision is certainly badly blurred to
say the least. The Cincinnati Enquir.
er, one of Democracy's greatest ex-
ponents, shows the righteousness OF
their claim. when it says:

his opinion that the results of the

To a gentleman possessing such

If there ever was a reproof of a

vote for going to war with the allies
or the Germans, in Europe.

did not vote at all. The election
meant but one thing, and that was
that the Republicans are coming in to

the Democrats were counting on be-
ing kept III Office by the Progressives.
He says more Progressives returned
to the Republican party than, the
Democrats expected to return.
In most cases where Democrats
we're elected to Congress save in the
South, their election was the result
OF there being a Progressive ticket in
the field. The latter received small
vote but 1t was enough to elect DEM
ocrts. For instance, White in this
district and Bowers in the Second
district would have won easily had
Harmer and Keim not been IN the
