Folks with a memory may recall
that for weeks the Baltimore Sun kept
assuring its readers that the Republi-
can campaign had collapsed. that the
bottom had fallen out of it, ETC., etc.
Well, we wouldn't say the Democratic
campaign had collapsed, but certainly
something must have happened to it,
when they carry by measly 5000 a
State which boasts of normal Demo-
cratic majority of over 10000.

We do not indulge in Growing.
That is a function more properly be
longing to ROSTERS than to men. We
prefer to simply congratulate the vot-

took things into their own hands on

wherever the little "busy-bee" Demo-
cratic worker did the most "buzzing'
there his particular" candidate got
licked.

SoUcHEz HAS BEEN CAPTURED AND AN ADVANCE MADE
 NORTH OF ARRAS.

London-Heavy and continuous at tacks by the British and French have cost the Germans more than 20.009 unwounded men taken prisoners and 20 miles of trenches in the west.
 Souchez has been stormed and cap tured, and an advance is reported north of Arras.
 A German official statement for. warded from Berlin admits German reverses.
 While the allies were advancing into German entrenchments British battle ships were battling away at German positions between Seebrugge and Nieuport
 For several weeks there had been an almost incessant bombardment with big guns. increasing late last week in intensity, particularly in the sectors where infantry attacks took place. This prepared the way for the general assault.
 The French, who have the most iui- portant gain to their credit, made their chief onset around Perthes, Beause- jour and Suippes, in Champagne, where in December they made a con. siderable gain. This attack, backed by tremendous artillery fire, gave them possession of more territory than they had retaken from the Germans since the latter dug themselves in af. ter the battle of the Marne.
 According to the French, the Ger. mans were driven out of their trenches over front of 15 miles, varying in depth from two-thirds of a mile to two and half miles. The French in this engagement captured 12.000 prisoners.
 The Italians, like the rest of the al. lies, report number of successes In taking fortified mountains from the Austrians.
