IRRIGATION FARMERS

If Congress gives its approval to
the bill Introduced by Senator Thomas
Sterling OF South Dakota, much prac-
teal assistance will be extended TO
settlers on reclamation projects IN
raising maximum crops during the
present season. The measure author
ICES the recently created Federal land
banks to loan money on land under
irrigation projects within their dis
tricts. Senator Sterling has amply
protected the banks by providing that
existing liens on the land to secure
the payment of installments under
the Reclamation Act shall be subordi-
nate to the mortgage given by the
owner to the land bank. Mr.. Sterling
believes that such an extension of
credit to the farmers of the West
will be a real stimulant to them and
should result in a marked increase
in the production of foodstuffs.

WON
DEMOCRATIC DISTRICT

No mar in Congress is more popu-
lar with his constituents than Repre-
sentative Thomas w. Templeton of
PENNSYLVANIA. His district sent a
Democrat to the sixty-fourth Congress
by a majority of almost 1000, which
Mr.. Templeton succeeded last year IN
turning into a Republican plurality OF
over 5000, a gain of 10000 Repub-
lican votes in two years. Congress
man Templeton, while in Washington,
lives directly across the street from
the Capitol, and intends to give his
undivided attention to matters OF
legislation. AS a member of the COM
mittee on accounts he will have some
thing to say in the matter of letting
Democratic committees have funds
for conducting expensive investiga
lions which rarely produce results at
all commensurate with the money
outlay.

OLD VETERAN
WON VICTORY

Although Representative Daniel
Webster Comstock of Indiana is al
most n years old he had little trou-
BILE at the last election in defeating a
man more than twenty-five years his
junior and who had been in Congress
for six years No nan in the House
has a more brilliant military record
than Mr.. Comstock. He served through
out the Civil War, enlisting as a cav
airy private and rising by successive
promotions to the rank of assistant
brigade acknowledgement. Mr.. Com
stock has been given a place on the
committee on claims, where his knoWl-
edge of war claims, gained at hrst
hand with the Union army in the
South, will be of much value. The
committee on expenditures in the
War Department will also engage
General Comstock's attention.

follows:
Army group of Crown Prince Rup-
precht: On the Arras battlefield Brit
fish troops standing on French terri
tory delivered second great thrust to
break through the German lines. The
heaviest batteries for days have been
hurting masses of shells of every de-
scription against our position. Early
Monday morning the artillery battle
increased to very strong drum fire.
Soon afterward British attacking
troops, often preceded by their tanks,
broke forward on q front of 30 kil0-
meters to the attack behind this wall
of fire.
sour destructive fire received them
and In many places forced them to
withdraw with heavy losses. At other
points the battle ebbed and flowed with
great bitterness. Wherever the enemy
gained ground out infantry, brave unto
death and eager for attack, drove him
back again by strong counter-attacks.
"The western suburbs of Lens,
Avion, Oppy, Gavrelle, Roeux and
Guemappe were the hottest places In
the fierce struggle" says the state
ment. Their names will be associated
with the deeds Of heroism by our regi-
ments from almost every German dis
trict between the sea and the Alps.
after the breakdown of the first
attack q further attack of particular
Intensity and with new masses fol-
lowed toward evening. This assault
was on both sides of the river across
the field of death before our lines.
The strength Of this attack also broke
before the heroism of our infantry,
partly under its fire partly in hand-to-
hand fighting and also under the de-
structiye effect of our artillery. Only
on the Cambrai-Arras road did the enc
my gain few hundred yards Of
ground. The ruins of Guemappe re-
NAMED in his hands.
"The enemys attempt to break
through near Arras has failed with ire
mendous losses, as was the case on the
.Aisne and in the Champagne"
"Englands might has suffered n
heavy sanguinary defeat through the
foresight of German headquarters and
the tenacious desire of our brave
troops for victory. The army will face
the new battles with complete conf
dence," continues the statement
with the other armies on the west
ern front and In the other theaters of
war no actions of Importance oc-
Cured"

Clark opposed the selective draft and
predicted it never would pass congress,
in receiving a delegation from the Ma

dred petitions bearing 100000 names,
asking congress to adopt the admins

speaker.
"Conscription never will pass, in my

Convert Draft Opponent.
Representative Caldwen of New

Representative Lenroot, Wisconsin,
declared the draft would do more than
the volunteer system to win this war,
In the shortest possible time, with the
least sacrifice of life" He said he
believed his constituents would ap-
prove that stand, but even If he be-
lieved otherwise his course would be
the same as in war time, when the ex-
istence of the republic was in danger,
his first duty was to his country and
not TO his constituents.
Representative Gallivan of Massa-
chusetts, speaking for the administra-
ton plan, said all Boston approved Of
the declaration that state of war ex-
listed with Germany, but that he found
on examining into the enlistments
