PARIS, France, Aug. 4-Some
OF the heaviest battling OF the two
years Of war took place today on
east and west fronts with the Teu-
tons making terrific endeavors to re-
triese their losses in recent hght-
ing.
Early in the day the French sol
diers on the Fleury section of the
west front achieved a considerable
success. An attack in force was
made on this hamlet and the sur
rounding trench positions, simulta-
neously from the northwest and
southeast. The French took the
positions by storm and captured
several hundred Germans.
Almost Immediately after the
Germans launched a driving coun-
ter attack, rolling wave after wave
of infantry at the defenders Of the
newly-won trenches. After violent
attempts they gained footing IN
the south part of Fleury. The
French are still holding the north
ern section and fighting continues
at a bloody rate.
In attacking the Thiauniont
works. the enemy lost heavily. The
French occupied Thiauniont today
but bonlbardnnents compelled them
to withdraw

times we stopped and sometimes there
was a band. Other times we did not
stop, and disappointment was written
upon the faces of the folk who had come
down to the depot. But the Candidate
was not to be blamed, neither was his
manager upon the train. 1t was impos-
sible to stop at all the little towns. But
the thing was not right. And the cor
respondents from the daily papers were
telling what a quick decision the Gov
ernor had made back to Utah. A limou-
sine had been provided for him to
ride in from the railroad station to the
hotel. A nice sort of vehicle that for q
Candidate who was giving the West it's
first opportunity to gaze upon his feat
ures. Hughes acted with characteris-
tic promptness. He ordered his police
escort out of an open touring car and
into the limousine. He rode in the open
car. His whiskers waved proudly in
the Mormon Valley and the day was
saved.

AN OFFER OF A WHOLE STATE
ROOM WHEN UPPER BERTHS
WERE AT A PREMIUM.

In such dilemma what was a mere
nan-an expressman at that-to do!
Fate and the Hughes party saved me.
A railroad man, kindly soul, was to
envoy the party East from Denver to
Kansas City on Thursday night. His
business car was to be attached to the
train. If cared to go, there would be
astateroom in the business car for my
exclusive use. He spoke few words IN
modest praise of the cook upon his car.
Would care to occupy that stateroom
from Denver to Kansas City?
Would care to ride in that big, airy
stateroom? Does duck ever take to
water? On the spot l nailed that rail-
reader. And that night at 8:45 found
myself on one of the long train platforms
Of the Union Station in Denver. A
pompous little switch engine was back
ing the special into place. 1t had come
down late that afternoon from Loveland,
where the Candidate had been sand
Slched in between a horse trot and
loop-the-loop aeroplanist. And while Its
cars were being cleaned and iced the
Candidate was being whirled out over
The streets and parks of lovely Denver.
Finally he was back. The newspaper
men who followed resolutely in his wake
also were back. The entire party were
uuttered aboard the train and we were
W. twas not the first time that had

ers of group of the leading papers Of
the country and show them the scenic
wonders of truly beautiful place would
mean first page stories. But, alas only
one first page story came out Of it. On
the day that the Candidate first arrived
he had gone down to the dining room Of
the hotel, only to find that it was oper-
ated on the American plan and that its
doors were already closed. He had had
some little difficulty in getting breakfast
for his wife and himself. The corre-
spondents put that upon their wires.
Thereafter they sat back and cursed the
hotel and all that had to do with it.
The trouble was not with Colorado,
not even with the hotel. There is no
lovelier place in the entire Rocky Noun
tain district. The real trouble was that
a full blooded, wide awake newspaper
man, with his nerves keyed to tension
and his appetite for real news, has little
use for scenery of any sort. He wants
stories. He is not descriptive writer.
He is a reporter. And the twenty alert
men fumed while the politicians rested.
Thereafter they were out of humor until
the Missouri River was reached and TIE
expedition began to be full of pep" once
more.
KANSAS POLITICIANS ADORN
THE LUNCHEON TABLE OF
THE CANDIDATE AND
HIS WIFE.
At Topeka-some sixty miles west OF
the Missouri-the enthusiasm began to
assume sjzeable dimensions. All the way
down across Kansas it had been rising.
AtSalina and at Abilene, where the Can
didate spoke during train stops. the
crowds were more than friendly. At To-
peka there was genuine demonstration.
We had been warned of it. For through
out the entire day the train had been
thronged with advance agents telling of
what Eastern Kansas would do. They
buttonholed the correspondents in their
little cubby-holes and they marched UNI
abashed into the Candidates private car.
That car was supposed to be refuge
for the Candidate. But the Kansas poii-
ticians were obdurate. They swept
through it in obstinate tides, at times
fairly hanging over the luncheon table
Of the Candidate and the Candidates
wife. Finally, in desperation, he APP
pealed to his personal Secret Service
man.
II can't stand it any longer" he whis-
pered to him. 1--WE got to have little
rest"
And the Secret Service man went on
personal guard at the door of Governor
Hughes's stateroom- and never relaxed
his vigilance all the way into Topeka.
There were times on the tour when
the advance arrangements for the re-
ception Of the Candidate were anything
but complete-that incident of the
limousine back there in Utah was all
too typical. Recriminations had been
passed. The local committee would
blame headquarters back in New York
and New York would point its finger
toward the National Committee. There
was no need for determinations at To-
peka. An unusual welcome had been

TT was Fate that drove me East with

TWAS Fate that drove me East with
| the Hughes party. Over the entire
land rested the shadow of a railroad
strike, overwhelming in its dimensions,
ave-inspiring in its possibilities. That
shadow was driving the tourist camps OF
Colorado into a near-panic. Folk were
Hocking down into Denver from the re-
cesses of the Rockies; they were lining
themselves four deep around the count
ers of the city ticket Offices of the east
hound railroads. A man from Cleveland
was the proudest thing in the whole
length of Seventeenth Street. He had
two whole ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
staterooms-he said it slowly in the ex-
cess Of his pride-on the best trains all
the way from that city to his home one.
He had reason for pride. Women were
begging uppers and rejoicing when they
got them. All the while the Pullman
people were hurrying extra cars up to
Denver. But it is long distance there
from Chicago or San Francisco and the
other centres of reserve equipment.
The tourist panic was comparable with
that in Europe two years ago, at the
outbreak of the great war. For the
strike peril had come atop Of the usua!
eastbound Labor Day rush-in itself the
largest seasonal railroad traffic in
America.

fences. He had slipped aboard the spe-
cial back at Ellis.
I'm gone goose if this sort of thing
goes on" he said to me, sadly. I took
second look at him. He was immense
q stage Congressman-as Tom Wise
might rig himself to fit the part. Large
of feature and figure, this B.; his
boots decently black and honestly square
toed, his derby squarely blocked, his
broadcloth expansive, his black string
tie and Senatorial collar, together ex-
pressive. Upon his golden watch chain
there dangled the emblems of many of
the fraternal orders of Kansas. B. was
mpressive-ordinarily Ordinarily, he
knew he was impressive, telling of his
fat Kansas acres and how he had grown
up with "his people," Just now he was
not impressive. He appeared to be both
badly scared and badly ratified.
THE TRAIN MASTER PULLS THE
EMERGENCY CORD OUT OF
SHEER PITY.
Another town showed itself. There
were more folks at the yellow depot, but
the Special hesitated not. The Congress
sional aspirant was close to tears.
my Lord" he groaned, stop the
train, If you don't I'm ruined"
The train master, who sat at break
fast coffee in the car, was human. He
had heart. He reached for the emer-
gency cord and pulled it twice. We
stopped-almost abruptly. The men,
the women, the girls, the boys and the
little children came running down the
right of way. The Candidate pushed
aside his oatmeal; his wife did likewise.
They made their way to the observation
platform of their car. There was ap-
plause, the waving of small f1ags-then
the customary speech for three-minute
stops.
But before we were well away from
the little town the Candidates manager
was in the business car. He was per-
turbed-tO put it mildly.
"Who stopped this train?" he de-
manded. 'The Governor isn't going to
wear out his throat talking to every
crossroads in Kansas. He isn't ped
ding soap or making a house-to-house
canvass. You stick by the schedule
hereafter"

whiskers of Hughes. But the welcome
that Detroit held for the Candidate more
than overshadowed the art of its most
eminent sign painters.
At Spokane the artist had run closer
TO tradition-and to fact. There was no
mistaking the bewhiskered Hughes i'm
age which remained pendant in the lobby
of the Davenport, rosetted by flags and
hanked by f1owers-fowers in the regal
abundance so peculiar to the Northwest.
And when | was come to Portland the
Candidate-all the members of his party
too-was being whisked out over the
Columbia River Highway. To go to
Portland and not to take that glorious
ride out upon its new highway to Multi
nomah Falls and beyond is to commit
leze majesty. For the Candidate to
have missed that drive would have been
political suicide.
1T HAS BEEN TRULY SAID THAT
A CANDIDATE HAS NO MORE
PRIVACY THAN A GOLDFISH.
That is one of the worst of several bad
features of being Candidate. You
may have no desire to see the local at
tractions-not even a marvel highway
which ties itself into double bowknots
and does other stunts of similar nature
in an evident desire to be rated as the
eighth wonder of the world. Your own
