Il feel other interests must be con-
sidered of secondary importance In

II therefore have decided to become
candidate for the congressional
nomination, subject to the decision OF
the Republicans of the Sixth district.
Il would consider it a great privM-
ege and honor to express in congress

SECOND PHASE

Lull May Be Followed by
British Blow on a Large
Scale Against Dro-court-
Queant Line.
SPANISH CRISIS over
(By Associated Press)


The second phase of the battles OF
Arras, the Aisne and Champagne has
ended in the complete failure Of the
most determined and costly German
efforts to stem the tide of victory now
setting against them. The net result
of Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
supreme effort to regain the initiative
has been that the British and French
have tightened their grip on the Ger
man line and have placed in great peril
the key positions held by the Germans
in northern France.
The customary luil which separates
all major operations in modern war
fare has now come and the expectation
is that it will be broken by a British
blow on a great scale against the Dro-
court Queant line, already practically
outflanked. In the meantime, the
usual crop of peace rumors which
marks these lulls has made it's appear
ance.

tangible or authentic to show what
these reports are worth.
The latest German-Spanish crisis
has subsided with the receipt by Mad

but the text of the communication is
not made public.
The recalled Cuban minister to Ber-
lin reports that matters are going
badly at home with the Germans and
sees cracks in the imperial edifice and
there are fresh reports of strikes in
Hungary. There seems little question
that the food problem is an acute one
for the central powers but Information
is too meager to permit judgment as
to what effect it may have on the mill
tary situation.

H|NDENbURC SAW
TROOPS FALL BACK
BEFORE FOES FORCE

ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE, May 23.-Von Hindenburg
himself is understood to have been
spectator of the defeat which the
French inflicted on the Germans yes
terday evening on the Moronvilliers
range. which resulted in the capture
of several lines of German trenches
and number of important observa-
ton points.
The German commander is known
to have been just to the northward
of this section of the front on Sunday.
His presence is supposed to have been
connected with an attack on the
French lines which the Germans in
tended to deliver on Tuesday morning
The French forestalled them and af-
ter demolisning German machine guns
nests and other defenses with artillery
launched an assault which was so bril-
liantly successful that more than 1 1000
Germans were captured. At the same
time the French obtained elbow room
beyond the ridge for future operations.

WILSON REITERA1ES
CENSORSHIP DEMAND

WASHINGTON, May 23.-President
Wilson's renewed plea for inclusion of
newspaper censorship section in the
espionage bill, now in conference, de-
veloped a marked difference of atti-
tude between house Democrats and
Republicans today. Democratic lead.
ers started a fight for the censorship
amendment, and Republicans seemed
determined to stand by their caucus
decision yesterday to oppose it. Sen
ate sentiment is strongly against the
provision.
President Wilson's letter to Chair
man Webb of the house judiciary COM
mittee disclosed that 1t was impera-
tive to give the government censor
ship authority over newspapers to
control the few which might not re-
frain voluntarily from publishing in
formation valuable to the enemy.

PREPARE
FOR next DRIVE
AGAINST LA0N
tBy Associates Pressl

=
Evidences accumulate that General
sive drive on large scale along the
Aisne and Champagne fronts.
On Monday. brilliant series Of at
tacks won for the French all the i'm
portant observation posts in the Nor
onvilliers region In the Champagne,
and last evening similar operation
was carried out on the high ground in
the Caronne region. where every one
of the observation points dominating
TIE Ailette valley are now in French
possession.
Give Advantage to French.
The vantage ground thus won will
give the French the needed opportun-
ity to prepare effectively for their next
drive. Strokes delivered at the two
localities where the preliminary oper-
ations have been undertaken would
imperil the Rheims salient held by the
Germans. More important it would
open up still further the route by
which General Petain is evidently plan
ming to strike at the German key point
fortress of Laon from the rear and
compel its evacuation and the falling
back Of the entire German lines in this
sector
The Italian offensive in the Gorilla
region has entered one of the Nauses,
common to such movements. The new
Italian positions are being firmly held
against Austrian counter-attacks.
Meanwhile the italian forces on the
Teutonic front are dealing with the
attack launched by way of diversion
in that sector by the Austrians. Yes
terday they completed the re-establish-
ment Of their lines in the Travignolo
valley.

U-BOAT FIRES 63
SHELLS AT BRITISH
FREICHTER IN DUEL

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-Tales OF
a, desperate encounter with German
submarine off the north coast of Africa
were told by sailors of a British
freight steamer which arrived at this
port yesterday. The battle with the
understo boat took place shortly be-
fore dawn on the second day out.
In the darkness the two boats
maneuvered about, the British steam
er's gunners locating the hostile craft
only by the glare that went up as
she fired volley after volley from her
small guns. Officers of the steamer
declared the UBoat fired at least 63
shells and then sent torpedo through
the water. 1t missed by a narrow mar
gin.

lican contest for the nomination for
congress to fill Congressman Com
stocks unexpired term.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear on him and his answer is expect
ed tomorrow.
Several conferences were held with
him today by leading Wayne county
Republicans and he was urged to enter
the race as patriotic duty.
Wayne county leaders are hoping to
be able to center upon a candidate by
tomorrow in order that the full
strength of the county's influence may
be thrown into the district convention
for it's choice.
Other Counties Hold Back.
There is a disposition in Republican
circless in other counties to refrain
from active support of a candidate un-
til Wayne county has decided whether
it will place candidate in the field.
The sentiment is that Wayne county
is entitled to considerable voice in Sc
lecting a successor to Congressman
Comstock, inasmuch as he was a
Wayne county man.
Friends of Jordan urge in his be-
half that he will be able to poll unit
ed Republican vote in the district.
They say he is widely known through
out the district as a capable business
man and a public-spirited citizen. His
sense of public duty is above reproach,
they say.
Others in Wayne county who have
aspirations to bear the Republican
standard are understood to be defer
ring their announcements until Jordan
decides OIL his position.
1t is felt that Wayne county Repub-
licans must unite in their support of
an able candidate, one who will be able
to command the respect of the dis
trict.
