This item was in- volyed in one of the mandamus suits and was decided in favor of the gov ernor. The action of the governor Indicates that there will be no effort on the part of the executive depart ment to obtain a rehearing of the cases. Attorney General Martin Fri day said he had not decided whether or not he would ask for rehearing.

so probably counted on making our
preparation for an offensive over this
ground abortive by giving up their
front line and compelling US to alter
our plans.
IT have no patience with the idea
that the Germans are at the end of
their fighting resources They are still
capable Of and will put up a strong

point I see no reason why the war
should not go through another winter,
