After a long march we went into

a good nights rest. At 2:20 we were
suddenly and rudely walked up; our
outposts had come into touch with
strong French forces and the whole
camp suddenly became alive. A sharp
fight was soon in progress. The
French artillery was firing incessant-
Iy from a covered position. Their
shells came with a sharp whiz, to ex-
plode with a mighty crash. Their in
fantry also kept up a hot fire. | went

my part to this Internal concert.

my men to the most advanced trench,
asked them to get out their instru-

amusement of the troops the beautiful

After some time the moon came out
from behind a thick bank of clouds
and lit up the battlefield with its burst
ing shells, and we gave it a welcome
with the melody, Good Moon, You

joined in with spirit.
Somewhat later the French at

a Progressive Tammany Bipartisan Com.
bination in the Making.

So far as any Of the Progressive leaders who
are stampeding from Mr.. Hnman give any reason
for their conduct it is because Of his statement
at Saratoga that he was a Republican and in
tended 10 make his campaign as one Yet he has
never pretended 10 be anything else. IT was be
cause he was a Republican Of clean reputation and
modern political ideas that Colonel Roosevelt gave
him an unqualified Endorsement and promised to
vote for him 1t was because he was a ReDub
lican deemed capable Of gaining the Republican
nomination, and So with Republican and Progress
sive votes Of defeating Tammany that numerous
Progressive leaders backed up Roosevelts nc
ceptance of him There has been no possibility
Of miscouception Of Humans attitude in the
entire situation Even a I 'rressve politician
ought to have been able to understand it,
The about-face Of these leaders-and Colonel
Roosevelt's can be attributed TO no better motive
means that they would rather hand the state over
to Tammany than aid in electing a Republican
They are trying 10 preserve their own party organ
ization which they think menaced 10y the effect Of
q Republican Progressive fusion at the expense Of
the state Colonel Roosevelt has accused Barnes Of
being in a bipartisan combination with Murphy.
After this Progressive doublecross Of Hinman
Mr.. Barnes might just as well accuse them Of
being in a bipartisan combination with Tammany.
And if Colonel Roosevelt goes back on his promise
to support Hinman, Mr. Barnes would he as well
justified in calling him Murphys co-boss as the
Colonel ever was in his accusations against the
Republican state chairman.
The only sure way to defeat Tammany this
year is for Republican and Progressive voters TO
unite in support of Human And the fact re-
mains that ia spite of Mr. BarIes's antagonsm
to Hinman and the Big Progressive Boss's back
tracking, the voters of these parties have the
matter in their own hands at the primaries and
at election Mr. Hinman has a record of long and
honorable public service lie is clean He is able.
He would make a good Governor, and he has
proved. first by attacking the Barnes political
methods, then by refusing TO swallow the Pro
creSsiye dogmas. that ne Is no boss's man. That
is the kind Of man who ought 10 be Governor and
the kind who could defeat Tammany. 1t is up 20
