late this afternoon the committee had
virtually agreed upon the chief planks
to be Incorporated in the party's dec

That tie fight over the national
prohibition platform will be carried
onto the floor of the party council late
this afternoon is the belief of the
majority of Democratic leaders When
the resolutions committee was named
this afternoon, the Sect I'D district
members recommended Governor
Hodges of Olathe and w. w. Rose of
Kansas City, Kan, as their repre-
sentatives on the committee. Rose is
a most bitter opponent of the pro-
hibitory plank. while Governor Hodges
is its chief champion and advocate.
1t is believed, however, that the ma
jOrity of the committee will vote with
Governor Hodges. Yet this fact is
not expected to subdue Rose. who has

and French newspapers which say to-
days news is ''decidely bad" while
plainly expressing disappointment at
the failure of their forces.

fensive works running from Maubeuge

Hirson, Mezieres, MOntmedy, Verdlun,

The English newspapers declare that
both the English and Russians are de-
termined to ''night to a finish what
ever the outlook may be at present.
They say the possession Of Namur was

rushed the place under the eyes Of
the allied armieS.''
