If General Joffre can save Scissors

doubtless let the matter rest. No great
or prospect Of an allied offensive being

tinues to offer better opportunity for
breaking or bending the German line
because the country is more open, while
the battle line in Belgium and northern
France is nearer to the most vulnerable
part Of the German communications.
An allied success in the north would
have more important consequences than
along the original German defensive
front. II seems PROBABLE, therefore,
that the Germans will not be able to
entice the French into general re-
sumption Of the battle Of the Aisne.

MANY IMPORTANT BILLS
FRAMED BY MARION men
Provision for New Bridge, New Regis
tration Law and Amendment TO Eight
Hour Law Included,

Among the most important measures
to have been introduced by the mem
bers Of the Marion county delegation
in both the senate and the house Is q
bill by Senator Bishop, correcting the
present statute in order to make 1t
possible for the county courts Of
Marion and Polk and the city Of

Ia bill cxcwnting fruit canneries from
the opelgtion Of the female eight-hOur
labor law, viish was introduced by
Senator LaFollett.
The bridge bill, being simply Of a
corrective. nature and Of purely local
import is not expected to develop any
opposition The Gehlhar registration
law however, has competition In the
form of a similar bill introduced in the
house by Representative Kuehn, the
only difference being in regard to the
registration Of naturalized citizens. The
Kuehn bill, Of which Representative
Olson Is the author eliminates the
necessity Of presentation Of naturaliza
ton papers by aliens when application
is made to register, which Representa-
tive Olson believes works hardship
and an injustice upon aliens who arc
entitled to register and vote, and 1t Il
believed that some sort Of compromise
can be arranged between the two bill
satifastory to both authors.
The bill proposing to exempt frui
canneries from the operation OF tn,
female cight-hour law is based upoi
the contention that on account Of The
extreme perishabiity Of fruits, III,

1t was admitted that the enemy had
recaptured a line Of trenches at NOtre
Dame Lorette, near Carency which
were taken by the French earlier in the
week. The German attack at that
point was pushed with the utmost
discrimination until the French finally
abandoned the positions.
To meet the German assault along the
Aisne river new French artillery has
been rushed north. From Scissors to
Rheims these guns are declared to be
having a marked effect on the violence
Of the German charges.
The progress Of the French forces at
Blagny has been slow but steady, the
statement asserts. From the sea to
Ypres cannonading continues without
particular advantage to either side.
Floods in that section make operations
by infantry impossible.
There is q distinct lull in the fight
