"The day of the 10Th was charac-

attacks by the enemy's infantry, and
artillery attacks were much less vio-
lent than the day before. At the
north the weather is very bad. There
is snow in all the region of the User
canal. To the east of DiXmude the
country is covered by inundations. Be-
fore Rampseapelle we have drawn out
of the water two mortars of 165 mil

the Germans. There is an intense
cannonade at the south of Ypres. At
the center there have been no import
ant engagements. In the Argonne
three vigorous attacks by the enemy'5
infantry were repulsed. On our right
the Germans have occupied section
of Chauvoncourt, which was destroyed.
Further to the east we have made

were exchanged at the convention of

Commissioners today when Clifford
Thorn, newly elected president, moved
to bring to an end the discussion of
the right of states to fix railroad
rates. When Thorne moved to take
the final vote on the pending resolu
ton, which upholds the states rights,
John M. Eshleman of California, in
terrupted Charles E. Elmquist, rail-
road commissioner from Minnesota,
who demanded that tn evote be taken
on Torn's motion.
"Why not let Elmquist speak? We
have been hearing from Eshleman
about every thirty minutes since the
convention has been in session.!
shouted a delegate.

leman broke in. 81 have tried to
help"
The convention soon was in an up
roar Elmquist was finally permitted
to offer substitute, which provides
for reference of the states rights
question to committee, to report at
next years convention. The Elmquist
substitute was defeated, % to IL, and
the convention adopted the resolution
of Williams of Mississippi, upholding
the right of the state to fix its own
