JOHN 7. MACG|NMIS ON
CANDIDACY OF LECkY
Should Change the Nty's Cnarter IL
He Does Not Make Good,
He says.

Commenting on the candidacy OF
Robert Leciy, Jr.. for mayor OF Rich
mond, John r. Maginnis. editor and
manager Of the Radford News. and
for years weil-known Richmond
newspaper man, carries the following
editorial in The News:
Robert Lecky Is running for Mayor
Of Richmond.
We remember Mr.. Lecky as an ag-
gressive, progressive. enterprising.
hnstling young man. who. combined
with these traits. intelligence, gentle
ness and smiability that made him
more than likable--lovable. one would
say.
Mr.. Leckv stands on platform OF
his own. subject to the Democratic
primary--party politics shouldn't real
" enter into municipal government,
but too much cannot be expected all
at once-and the platform Is eminent
ly sane.
Mr.. Lecky holds that II the Mayor
uses the power at present vested IN his
office no further change in the form
OF the city.s government Is needed.
The Mayor holds the power Of dis
missal over the heads of all depart
ments. Each head may be held ac-
countable for the efficient conduct OF
his own department. II his conduct
OF his office Is not satisfactory, the
Mayor may remove him. Mr.. Lecky
holds that the chief Of police Is re-
sponsible for his department.. and that
the Mayor should not be called upon
to act as prosecuting officer and po-
lice. He II quite right. II the police
don't enforce the laws, the chief
should give place to one who can and
will. II the laws are not right they
should be abolished.
Mr.. Lecky looks at Richmond and
ali her interests in '.the large" One
thing is ve-y certain: II Mr.. Lecky,
as Mayor. fails to prove his theory ~
to the sufficiency OF the present form
OF government, It will be conclusive
evidence that the present form II not
what is needed. and his administrA-
ton could be counted upon to de-
velop the flaws ana point out thu
changes that are needed.
The rest & the State should be able
to look TO Richmond to set m e.
ample and develop models which may
be counted upon a. Spproximating the
last word for what q best municipal

GERMANS AND BRITISH BOTH

London.-German crown prince
invented nut-cracker style Of attack,
where encircIing arms strove to
squeeze out resistance about given
section, but it has remained for the
FranCO-British offensive to put this
style of offensive to another use.
Briefly, the scheme is to advance a
Wedge-the fulcrum of the nut
cracker then push outward two
arms from this wedge. The Germans
squeezed an opened nut-cracker to-
getheT; allies are opening a closed
nUt-cracker. Such a scheme is in
operation today in the Peronne sec
tor, British swinging forward their
arm of nut-craCker with terrific at
taCks in LOngeuval and Belville wood
and French pressing forward south
of PerOnne.
French successes reported every
where along line. Heaviest fighting
in sector where yesterdays offensive
gained ground on ten-mile front.
In ChaUlnes region a strong Ger
man patrol attempting to reach the
French lines was surprised and rOut-
ed. Between Scissors and Rheims
French patrols which penetrated Ger
man-heId territory were successful
in grenade attack on German trench.
