We note that John Fields of Okla
homa is being mentioned in connec-
ton with the Republican nomination
for vice president. Notlthat we think
that there is any danger Of so sensi-
bic a man falling for any attempt to
hook him up with so foolish scheme,
but as friend of Mr.. Fields we want
to protest against his name being thus
dragged in the dust. Mr.. Fields is too
useful man to be shelved in the
senate chamber in Washington, even
il there was any chance for G. o. P.
candidate to be elected. While he is
equally as handsome as the ordinary
vice president he can do more good
boosting hetter agriculture in Okla
homa than he can by serving for orna-
mental purposes in Washington.

decadent and France exhausted and

scious. however, that the war will last
much longer than at first expected"

Recommended to President for
Membership on Interstate
Trade Commission.
WESTERN BULL MOOSERS
CHAMPIONING A. D. NORTONI
Executive Not Making Progress He
Would Like in Getting Appoint
ments Ready.

Hugh Gordon Miller, for many years
a resident of Norfolk, where he par
ticipated in politics as a republican.
and for the last eight years a practic-
ing attorney i'll New York, has been
recommended to President Wilson as
the choice of progressive senators and
representatives, headed by Senators
Clapp and Poindexter. and Representa-
tives Chandler of New York, Bryan
and Falconer of Washington and Kelly
of Pennsylvania for membership on
the interstate trade commission. These
progressives not only asked the Presi-
dent to place one of their faith on the
commission, but suggested Miller as
the best man. Miller was an early
follower and admirer of Col. Roosevelt
and remained with the Oyster Bay
statesman when the latter left the
party that had honored him.
His name frequently has been put
forward In recent years for high ap-
pointive positions.
A. D. Nortoni, who was the progress
sive candidate for Governor of Mis-
souri, in 1912, is another progressive
whose name Is being pushed by west
either man will be selected, and If the
President concludes to name a progress
siye he will make his own choice
Hints have been going the rounds late
resented they will fight the nomina-
tions the President sends to the SEN
ate.
Presidents Progress Slow.
So far as can be ascertained, the
President is not making the progress
he would like in getting the commits
sion appointments ready for presenta-
tion to the Senate. He long ago select
ed Joseph E. Davies, commissioner of
corporations, for a place. He would
like to be able to nominate George
Foster Peabody. New York banker,
but Mr.. Peabody is understood to be
averse to leaving his business in New
York. and it Is doubted that he would
accept. Another man who Is in favor
with the President. but Of whose ac-
ceptance there Is doubt, is Edward N.
Hurley. president of the Illinois Manu-
facturers' Association.
Mr.. Hurley did excellent work as
trade commissioner to the Latin Ameri-
can republics, and won the APPRECIATION
of the President and Secretary Red
field. He is an expert on export trade,
and the United States Chamber ,of Com
merce has asked the President to name
such a man.
Davies. Peabody and Hurley are DEM
ocrats, and 1t is certain that at least
three of the five members will be of
that political faith. The President is
seeking men of the highest standing,
but finds it difficult to detach men of
that class from their business or pro-
fessions.
President Wilson played golf this
morning and in the afternoon worked
for while in the executive offices.
May Visit st. Louis.
President Wilson may include st.
Louis in the itinerary of his trip to
the west next week. He has been
urged to stop in a number of cities,
either going to or coming from In
dianapolis, and it was understood to-
day that he might decide to go to St.
Louis.

English Critics Recognize That

BOTH CLAIM MINOR GAINS
Operations in France and Belgium
Confined Mainly to Isolated
Artillery and Infantry
Attacks.

LONDON, January 2, 1890
p.m.-The latest news available
from the western battle front
shows that little progress is be-
ing made by the allied forces, and
rather indicates a sporadic re-
newal of the German offensive,
with resultant slight gains in the
Argonne and French Flanders.
These operations can hardly be
classed as a general German Of
fensive movement in the west,
such as is still being conducted
in Poland, but the strength whicl,
the Germans are showing seems
to make it plain that they have
not weakened appreciably their
western army by transfers to
troops to the east, nor has the
pressure of the allies broken their
grip on Belgium and France,
from the North sea to Metz.
Joffre Avoiding Attack.
Gen. Joffre apparently is still avoid
ing a general attack. Except for their
tactics of feeling out the German linz
by attacks here and there, the allies
are playing a waiting game, pending
the time when, with the assistance OF
reinforcements, they can deliver con-
centrated blow at some strategic point.
With full knowledge that vast num-
bers of men are now being trained IN
England. Germany, 1t is recognizeu
here, must be preparing to meet their
entry into the war. 1t is agreed that
much depends upon the quality Oh the
new formations, on both siues. Inc
English view is that Britains new
troops will be the cream OF the couh-
try. while Germany, having sent IN her
finest forces at the outset, must de-
pend for reinforcements upon those
less At. physically.
Troops Reported Moving East.
There are again reports of the mo-.
ment of German troops -f-es-.taA -s.-SN

French official statement on the prog
ress of the war given out in Paris this
afternoon recites series OF encoun-
ters along the battle line of coInpara-
lively minor Importance. German at
tacks and counter attacks have been
repulsed; French gains have been re-
tanned: the artillery exchanges have
been spirited, and in Steinbach, wnere
street fighting has been going on for
several days, the French say they have
occupied three new lines OF houses.
Germans Claim Successes.
French attacks in the vicinity OF
Nieuport, Belgium, were repulsed b!
the Germans yesterday, according to

quarters staff.
German successes are claimed IN the

to the southwest of Saarburg, while
violent attacks direced by the French
to The north of the fortress of Nerduh
are said to have been repulsed. trench
reports of progress in the Aisatlan VII
