Republican Leaders Are
Looking Backward" Wilson
By 1ssocintcd PrctS


Salisbury, n. c.. May 20. President
Wilson, addressing large crowd at
the railroad station here to-day as he
passed through on his way to Char
lotte, attacked leaders of the Republ-
can party as men who are looking
backward" Members of the Pres-
dents party declared he was referring
to the fight led by Senator Gallinger,
defeating the nomination of George
Rublee to the Federal Trade Commits
sion
There are very serious things to be
done nowadays" said the President.
"and 1t Is a satisfaction to be associat-
ed with men who know how serious
these are and with what spirit they
must be approached: because whether
we will or not. we are at the beginning
of a new age for the world. and
America will have to play a very
great part in that new age. And we
Will have to be very sure not to encour-
age or to give countenance to the men
who are trying to hold us back.
There are some men, do not believe
they represent the great rank and file
of the Republican party. but the men
who now control the Republican party
are looking backward, not forward
They do not know the problem of the
new day and whenever ], for example,
try to show my sympathies for the for
ward-looking men of their own arty
by nominating men of that sort, they
at once try to block the progress. They
have no sympathy with the forward
looking men of their own party. Now,
I am for forward-looking men, not
backward looking men,"

With comparative quiet prevailing
at Verdun, the Germans last night
made a thrust at the British lines in
Flanders. attempting to cross the User
canal north of Ypres The French
war office, which reports the attempt,
declares that 1t failed.
The sector picked for the attack is
one that would naturally be chosen by
the Germans for an effort to break the
British front and drive toward Calais.
Some of the fiercest fighting of the war
has taken place along the User during
previous German attempts to advance
toward the English channel
Activity has also been displayed by
the Germans in other sectors of the
western front, notably in a gas attack
in the Champagne region, which Is
also declared to have been fruitless.
There have been numerous raids by
German aircraft. Three seaplanes
raided the British east coast, but ac-
cording to the British announcement
they caused but few casualties snd
lost one of their machines, which was
brought down off the Belgian coast.
An aeroplane attack on Dunkirk and
Bergues resulted in the killing of six
persons and the wounding of thirty
eight others.

would be sold or leased to private capt.
tai as rapidly as possible, with the
government reserving the right to call
them back into service as naval aux

as the government was unable to lease
