| Of storm-tossed ground, rent into hills
and hummocks like frozen tumble Of
waves, with shattered tree stumps rising
here and there like Jagged teeth.
So furious Is the French cannonade
that the ground seems fluid, the >contin-
ually changing form melting into new
craters and hummocks.
Close below us the white road runs
northward to the shapeless group of
black fed ruins called Malancourt, where
for two days the French soldiers have
hung on despite the German efforts to
eject them.
Scene Of Carnage
watch the shells descend upon the
village like myriads Of flaming thun-
der bolts, but their lightnings are
wasted, for the defenders are sheltered
underground, and in that hell fire fur
mace there is nothing left to burn.
1t is o'clock, and down the Mont
faucon slopes the German waves flow
forward to the assault. Behind them
the hill is covered with a ring OF
'drachen," which seem to be giant
google eyes, peering through the
smoke at the French positions. From
beneath in the center of that ring the
German commander directs his battle.
The advancing Germans roll down
the hill in graygreen patches, nc
longer in dense blocks-even their iron
discipline cannot face that suicide.
Now a scarce 900 yards separate them
from. the smoking ruins Of their goal.
But, see! The groups are diminishing,
melting like snow balls under the
Franch fire and the hillside behind
them is strewn with green dots like
corn grains is strewn upon a
carpet. 1t is hard to realize that these
grains are men like ourselves, killed
in their country's service.
Magnificent Resistance
The French troops are invisible, but
their resistance is magnificent, despite
the storm of shells that beats upon
them. For the German snowballs have
stopped rolling and have melted into
hundreds of single spots, some crawl
ing painfully backward.

position they thought would fall at the

1t is an axiom of military science

thunder of the cannonade grew louder
as when one approaches a gigantic wa

East, not excluding Barnes, Hilles.
Penrose or any other, have become
entirely reconciled. Mr.. Roots main
effort, 1t IL said, will be from this day
to aid and abet the colonel in his
avowed purposes Of stirring the people
by an appeal to their patriotic in
stincts, and in. SO doing he must help
those followers Of the colonel who are
seeking his nomination.
Mr.. Root. it has been said, also will
probably keep in touch with the COL
onel from time to time concerning the
Preparedness campaign despite pres
sure which may be brought to bear
upon him by old guard leaders such
as Barnes, Penrose, Hilles and Crane
to quit. And Senator Lodge feels very
much the same way.
Such a condition probably wifi mear
a parting OF the ways between Barnes
and Root, which. it is generally pre-
dicted, will end in the downfall or tbA
former if he invites an open fight.
Whether Hilles, the Republican nation
al chairman. will hold out and refuse to
nave any dealings with the colonel, de-
spite the reconciliation, is matter
which time alone can tell. Penrose ia
said to be wavering and not over Bit
ter.
Political Map Changed
The fact Of the matter is that lead
ers in national politics have come to
see and admit that the political map has
been changed over night and that there
must be complete readjustment as a
result Of what has taken place. They
are convinced that Roosevelt is hoping
to capture the nomination at the Re-
publican and Progressive national con-
ventions and now that he has obtained
the open support Of Messrs. Root, Lodge
and of Bacon, and of others they are
beginning to realize that it will be daily
a more difficult thing to head him off.
There were indications Friday which
tended to the belief that Mr. Root and
Senator Lodge in arranging to meet Mr..
Roosevelt had acted without consulting
National Chairman Hilles, William
Barnes. and all but few Of the other
political leaders. although they knew the
deep significance which would be at
tached to the meeting. Mr.. Root, it is
understood, agreed to the luncheon par
ty because he felt that the best method
to rouse the country against the poll
cies of the Wilson administration and
assure reunion Of Republicans and
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-04-03

Progressives. was to get Roosevelt
prominently to. the front as the head Of
such movement.
Roofs Sacrifice
Mr.. Root, 1t is said, has felt keenly
that It was his duty to do what he could
in this direction. despite what some Of
the leaders who have been so bitter
against Roosevelt had to say. II a rec.
onciliation with Roosevelt meant disas-
ter to any further aspirations, he held,
he was willing to sacrifice them if he
felt that he was working for a cause in
which he believed.
Some political leaders said recently
that the old guard section Of the Re-
publican party could again control
the national convention and kill of any
chance that Roosevelt had Of getting
the nomination when the delegates
meet On June by putting the steam
roller into action. That was before the
luncheon on Friday. Saturday. with
Root and Lodge apparently ready to
work with~the colonel, and other lead
ers Of power straddling the fence or
not ready to Join Root and Lodge. an
entirely different situation has been
created. it was admitted.
Subject of Talk . Secret
No inkling has come out about what
was discussed at the dinner aside from
the statement that preparedness was
the topic. Mr.. Root and Mr.. Lodge
have refrained from stating whether
they are ready to back Roosevelt for
the nomination, or whether any COM
promise candidate, such as Justice
Hughes, was discussed.
AS to that, the developments in the
next few weeks must tell the story and
the statement which appears in vari-
Gus sections of the country fer or
against Mr.. Roosevelt may have much
to do in forming the decision reached
by these men. Every indication now
Is that Mr.. Roosevelt would not at
tend luncheon for the purpose Of en-
tering an agreement to throw his sup
port to another, and certainly that he
would not enter any movement to NOM
mate Justice Hughes, unless Mr.
Hughes made a frank statement to
the country concerning his beliefs on
the big issues, which was satisfac-
tory, even to the Progressives.
Col. Roosevelt will remain here for
several days, and it is expected that
there will be many visitors.
