Guns Of all sizes contributed to the

emitted a continual roar. Whole fields
of wire were swept away with astonish-
ing rapidity.
The retreat OF certain Austrian de-
tachments was completely cut of by
a curtain Of shrapnel, through which
it was impossible for any living thing
to pass. They surrendered by the
wholesale.
A well-informed military critic says:
"All five Of the Austrian armies are
on the eve of retreat and Lemberg is
in great strategic danger. A breach
100 miles wide has been blown in the
Austrian front, involving the left wing

cratic stronghold, and Joined heartily in
the Wilson demonstration at st. Louis
last month, will not take the state out
of the doubtful column. The democrats
realize that they must fight for it, and
are preparing for the. fray.
At Chicago the republicans undoubt-

The ticket possesses character, ability
and what may be called geographical pro-

Mr.. Wilson and the Independents.

Replying to overtunet from sources
calling themselves progressive, the
President gives his party a good char
acter, and gently suggests that the party
be taken into account by those figuring
on progressive triumph in November.
He considers the democracy the prin-
cipal agent of progress IN American
politics, and for that reason, he says,
he is proud to be its nominee
There are men inclined toward the
support of Mr.. Wilson on the score that
he is both bette5efnd stronger than his
party. They have never been and are
not now democrats. They do not in
dorse the st. Louis platform. q Had they
been consulted they would have advised
a different form of deliverance But they
admire Mr.. Wilson. and having seen him
scrap the Baltimore platform are of
opinion that he could as' easily and
would as willingly scrap the st. Louis
platform; and that if they render sig
nal service in bringing him in for a
second term they viii have influence
with him about the policies and per
formances of that term.
There is danger in that conception.
Mr.. Wilson in Office has had things much
his own way. He has absorbed his
party, and in this campaign is himself
the issue. But, if reelected, he viii con-
front difficulties about leadership which
will grow out of the situation.
1t is a safe assumption that he will
not stand for third term. He is too
well advised by recent events to attempt
that. But nothing is likeiier than that
he will, with the opportunity, try to
name his successor. Jackson and Roose-
welt both named theirs; and Mr.. Will
son is often told that there is something
Jacksonian and Rooseveltian in his com
position.
Here, then, might come break. In
an effort to name his successor Mr.. Will
son might lose his hold on his party and
become victim of factionism.. In that
event where would his Independent sup
porters come in unless they were in
numbers sufficient to make up to him his
straight party losses -
Mr.. Cleveland won his third campaign
and second term on the proposition adj
vanced by Independent voters that he
was better and stronger than his party
he was impressed with the praise, and
in Office attempted to meet the expecta-
tions based on it. But he wrecked him
self permanently and his party tempo
rarily by the attempt, inflicted a heavy
loss on the country, and his Independent
supporters flocked in the next campaign
to the support of the republican ticket.
Although he is largely the issue, Mr..
Wilson, if reelected, must have the sup
port of party; and he is the candi-
date of the democratic party, however
better or stronger than that organiza-
tion he may be.

Germans is factor Of weakness. II the
Germans were attacking the situation
would be reversed.
The latest British advance, giving pos
session Of positions ON the high road
to Bapaume and Strengthening out the
lines to make uniform front in juno
Ption with the French, parrows the Ger
man salient and renders it more diff
cult of retention. A few more miles Of
advance toward Bapaume and this Ger
man salient, which the British are not
trying to fatten at the point, but are
trying to isolate by narrowing the neck,
is in danger of becoming an island, in
which case the capture Of all its de-
Tenders is almost assured.
The only alternative, if the British
advance continues, is to abandon the
salient. with the risk of precipitating a
general rearward movement, in the event
of which the whole German position in
Pieardy is imperiled unless strong line
!of defense has been prepared in advance
running north and south somewhere be-
tween Bapaume and Peronne on the
west and Cambria and st. Quentin on
the east. 1t is for this reason, doubt
less, that the Germans concentrated so
heavily against the British in this re-
cent fighting while leaving the positions
attacked by the French relatively unse-
[cured. The British may yet win the
honors of the west front drive

Watching the Corners.

Representative Cantrill who will con-
duct the democratic campaign in Ken
lucky, says in a formal address:
II feel that it is my duty to lay some
plain facts before the democrats Of
Kentucky. The votes as actually cast
for the last twenty years show that Ken
lucky is very close state politically.
At the outset | wish to warn my demo-
cratic brethren of ovorconfidence"
Mr.. Watterson, in mplimenting the
chairman, says: .
HE is charged with enthusiasm. and
vet his enthusiasm is tempered with a
realization that in these days no DO
liticai party totes Kentucky around In
4 hand basket. A nomination in this
state is no longer equivalent to an cleo
jicn. Tickets do not elect themselves" !"
Twenty-one years ago the republicans,
for the first time, carried the Bluegrass
commonwealth The silver issue had
been raised, and the democratic can
didate for governor had taken the silver
side. The next year at Chicago the
democrats made free silver the para
mount national issue, and Mckinley and
Hobart received twelve of the thirteen
electoral votes Of Kentucky.
Since 1896 what was once a demo-
cratic stronghold has given that party
much anxiety. The republicans have
carried it in two state races, and esme
within few hundred votes Of electing
their candidate for governor last year.
They did elect their candidate for Sec
retary of state. The democrats conjured
with the Presidents name. Iet us"
pleaded the democratic speakers with
the voters, "give him a boost for next
year" But their pleadinss were in vain
Instead of boost, the President "got
the goose"
There is something Of Importance in
this for the republican national man
ayers to consider. 1t shows that the
democrats are leaving nothing to chance
but are watching all the corners. Sim

The Senate's District Increases.

Not only in the matter of the division
of cost between the District of Columbia
and the federal government in the main
tenance of the capital, but in the vol
ume of appropriations has the Senate
committee dealt justly with the Dis
trict. The bill, as reported to the Sen
ate. carries many increasesS bver Ahe
House bill, which represent greatly
needed improvements and extensions,
and although the total of the budget
fails to reach the total of the Commits
sioners' estimates it is far more nearly
adequate than the measure to which the
House recently gave its approval.
The House bill was striking example
of the restrictive manner of providing
for the development and maintenance
of the District under sliding scale Of
stsharing. With the guarantee of an
equal division between local tax and
federal money cancelled the House
framed the bill in such terms as to put
a minimum of expense upon the gov
ernment. Every tax dollar raised by
the District would be absorbed, how
ever the estimates we're pruned, even to
the extent of 80 per cent of reduction.
and for every dollar cut from the esti-
mates dollar would be saved from the
United States Treasury With the half
and-half provision repealed and a slid
ing scale substituted the District could
never be assured of progressin its de-
velopment or even of adequate mainse-
nance provision.
The changes ordered in the bill by the
Senate committee illustrate in detail
the great disadvantages arising under
the indeterminate system of making ap-
preparations for the District Stagna-
tion would surely follow the system pro-
posed by the House The Senate bill
makes for steady forward movement
in the provision of the essentials of the
municipality. If the Senate successfully
maintains its ground in behalf of the
organic act and holds even a part of
its proposed increases, there will be more
schools, which are greatly needed; an
enlarged police department and a bet
ter fre-fghting system; more eff
cient health inspection; material addi-
tions to the park system; municipal
hospital; longer list Of necessary
street improvements than assured by the
House; in general terms a more ade-
quate salary provision throughout the
District organization.
This measure, with its net increase Of
5000 1852, is in no wise extravagant.
1t represents the Districts real needs
today, The bill that came from the
House was one of the most inadequate
measures passed by that body, and con-
sequently the Senate's increases are
necessarily large. They should be held
in the bill throughout the conference
process, so as to assure the District of
satisfactory advance in its development
and of adequate maintenance for the
next fiscal year.

Borland Law and Sidewalk Vaults.

4 In one respect the Senate committee

the extent requested, that of repeating
sthe original Borland enactment, to per-
feet which in it's iniquity the House pro-
vision was designed. An opportunity was
at hand, in the presence of this extend
| ing amendment, to reach the root of the
evil, but for some reason not yet under
stood the Senate committee decided to
leave the Borland law intact.
On another point, however, the Senate
.c committees draft of the bill is eminent
! ly satisfactory, as it cancels the House
rproposition for tax on sidewalk vaults
So strong a showing was made by rep
| resentatives of the business interests be-
! fore the Senate subcommittee that the

effort to wiring additional taxation from
the District people on the basis Of a

was eliminated without compromise. 1t

new offensive campaign. is now under
stood to be in fact part Of the series
Of movements designed at the outset
to force a general retirement of the
German lines in Pieardy. Before the
drive began the allied line bent in
big curve from Arras inward, or to the
west, close to Albert to point south
west Of Peronne, thence proceeding
south around Roye by Noyon and Sois-
sons, and thence east, north of the
Aisne and above Rheims, to the Argonne,
near Verdun, where it went northward
in a salient somewhat fattened by the
German drive there. This bend from
Arras westward and southerly was
dangerous factor for the security Of the
allied lines, as it occurred at just the
point Of the Anglo French junction. 1t
was also the point of most effective at
tack in joint movement, as events
have proved.

successive forward movements nearly
