Battle Front, via Paris, Oct. 1.-THE
generals commanding the allies are
full of praise for the corps of dispatch
riders who, since the beginning of the
battle of Aisne, have kept up commune
cation between various corps along
the line now spreading from Somme
to Moselle, along the frontier of AL
sace-Lorraine. The recent terrible
hand-to-hand conflicts on the western
and eastern wings arose from attempts
by German and allied generals to exc
cute flanking movements in great
force at the same time.
The wings have been growing long
er and are heavily reinforced, but the
allies have gained ground steadily, and
now have the advantage. Some Ger
man corps have been almost wiped
out, German attacks in the last "a
hours seem to have become less ener-
getic. The allies have been able to re-
pulse them, then to follow them up
more easily. .rs

pushin from the allied armies, where
the Germans are more strongly en-
trenched than at any other point with
heavy artillery, remains almost sta

It is generally concluded by French
military men that some important
move must soon be made by the Ger
mans who have found it impossible tt
stem the advance Of the allies, though
they offered the sternest and mos
desperate resistance, sacrificing thous

North of the Oise," has appeared
for the first time, in war Office
statement. Till now all the combats
fought on the right bank of the Disc
river have been mentioned either in
the region of Roye or between the
CONNIE and the Disc. There is much
speculation on the phase of the fight
ing in that vicinity which can have
greatly varied importance.
The military critics, among them
Lieutenant Colonel Rousset of the Pc
tit Partisien, refuse to attach any i'm
portance to the setback or the yield
ing of territory, declaring them to be
offset by the progressive movement.
He cites the fact that Napoleon Bona
parte, at Marengo had to retreat three
times in the face of the Austrians,
which did not prevent him from find
ing there one of the most brilliant VIC
tories as we'll as one of the most pro-
fitable.
The familiarity of the French with
the territory is frequently of consid-
cradle advantage to them. The marsh
es of Saint Gond near the Petit Nor
in river, are perfectly solid in the dry
season and the Germans here had
made all preparations for an impor-
tant surprise attack. The night be-
fore this was to occur a heavy rain
made the swamp a regular lake and
turned the positions to the disadvan-
tage of the Germans. The French
merely stuck to their positions and
while the enemy was in distress and
in the soggy ground annihilated large
numbers with their artillery fire. The
digging of false trenches and all kinds
of efforts which will rebound to ad-
vantage are being resorted to by one
side or the other.
The lists of dead printed in the
newspapers are growing. They some
times furnish the only news Of the sol.
diers since their departure to the
front.
A force of 80 architects and engi
neers and three thousand workers is
ready to repair the damage in the
war zone.
The institute of France, an asso
citation of the members of the five
French academies of arts, sciences anG
letters, met yesterday to consider the
question of excluding the German as
sociates and correspondents. During
the discussion it developed that some
members thought it imprudent to pre-
judge them. A general meeting ap
pointed for tomorrow may decide tn
point.

The contest at the primary election in
Alabama on Monday for seat in the
United States Senate was won by Hon.
Oscar q. Underwood, who defeated Hon.
Richmond p. Hobson by large majority.
This was expected. Mr.. Underw God is
one OF the most popular Democrats in
the country, he stands in well with the
big business interests, and he had the
iull backing of President Wilson's ad-
ministration. Captain Hobson was thus
badly handicapped from the beginning;
and when in addition to these disadvan-
tages he deliberately made the issue on
the liquor question, coming out boldly
against the saloons and the manufacture
and sale Of all alcoholic liquors, he ar
rayed against him the influence OF the
liquor interests. He made brave and
courageous tight against great odds, and
is not cast down by his defeat. In
statement on Tuesday he said: "Tell the
liquor interests that we have just begun
TO fight. The work we have done can
never be undone. We will meet them
again on hundred battlefields in Alaba-
ma and elsewhere"

time on Tuesday, and thousands OF them
voted dry" just as good women must
always do. Several large cities, includ-
ing Rockford, Galesburg. Bloomington,
Decatur and Lockport went dry, but
Springfield was lost to the vets. The
net result Of the local option election was
a glorious victory tor the temperance
people, who closed more than a thousand
saloons outside OF Chicago, adding 10
counties 10 30 already in the dry column,
and shutting out liquor from 200 OF the
300 townships in which the local option
issue was made.

but the drys are rejoicing because they
have put Lansing, the State capital, in the

ALTHOUGH not much was expected
from the recent Maryland Legislature in
the way OF temperance laws, some very
desirable measures were put through
that body by the strong temperance SEN
timent that exists in the State. BY direct
legislative enactment saloons are elimi-
mated from Knoxville, and the five grog
shops there that have been making so
much trouble for Brunswick are to be
cut out. The B. & .. Railroad and about
three fourthS OF the people OF the COM
munity opposed these saloons and the
Legislature needed. Four counties in
Maryland will also have chance TO vote
on local option by reason of laws passed
at the late session-Garrett, Charles, Car
roll and ST. Mary's counties. 1t is hoped
that all OF them will 60 dry. We predict
that all OF the people of Maryland will
soon have chance to vote on the pro-
hibition question.
