huysen in his campaign platform. the
law that would enable the government
in a crisis to call one man 10 place his

extended, he says, TO permit the requi-
sition Of wealth. q,
"The present industrial situation

millionaires in the United States. As

northward way to the front were
cheered heartily to-day.
Never has the western front Of the
Allies been so strong as II is to-day,
and hour by hour it is growing strong
er. Hour by hour is literally true. The
additional front taken by England has
released French troops for the remain
der Of the front. Meanwhile Germany
for two months has been sacrificing
thousands Of men before Verdun. Their
losses now are much IN excess Of
100000 men, while the French losses
are far below the German.
Germany Using Class Of 1917.
Another important fact is that the
French have taken at Nerdun many
German prisoners belonging to the 1917
class, whereas very few of even the
1916 class OF France are al the front.
The members Of the 1917 class are in

are piling up in huge quantities.
