 MILWAUKEE. Wis, Mar. 20 That portion of the people of this state who hoped for a clarion blast of patriotism from yesterdays Wis consin senatorial primary are today plunged into deepest gloom over the results. In the contest for the Re publican nomination, Representative Irvine Lenroot. known as the Loyal ist candidate. at noon had 60.643 votes, while James Thompson. known as the LaFollette candidate. received, up to the same time, 6o.109.
 Victor Berger. the Socialist candi. date. received 33.OO0 votes. Joseph E. Davies won the Democratic nomi. nation by an overwhelming majori- ty. The outcome of the Republican contest will not be known for sev. eral days, as the rural votes are counted slowly and come in late. IL is the rural vote which is sure to decide the contest.
 If the LaFollette candidate wins the nomination. there is not much chance for him to be elected. Thou sands of the regular Republicans will refuse to support him and will either remain at home or vote for Afr Davies at the regular election. Loy' alist Wisconsin is determined that another man of the LaFollette stripe shall not be sent to the senate from this state.

WILSON WINS

The first fight over the substitution of the administration coordination bill for Sen ator Chamberlain's war cabinet and muni- tions bureau measures was won yesterday by the administration when the senate judiciary committee brought in favorable report on the former bill, recommending its immediate passage.

 SEATTLE. Wash. Mar. 20.-It Is feared that heavy seas of the coast of Alaska have swamped the Sock eye Salmon company's tender. the Oregonian, which was carrying a crew of seven men for the com pany's Morshovia bay plant Nor. shovia is situated on the western coast of Alaska.
 Another tender was with the Ore gonian. and they were blown apart during a heavy gale on March II last. The other tender has reported to Morshovia. but nothing has been heard of the Oregonian. nor has it been sighted by any other vessel, as far as can be learned. There is a possibility that 1t has put in at some inlet for repairs. but this is consid. cred unlikely.

THE UNKNOWN QUANTITY

To the German people the Americans iii this war are apparently the unknown quanti- ty. It is the value of this unknown quantity which they have to determine, and, from re- ports, which they fear, in spite of the skepti- cism of their military leaders who have dil,- gently sought to convince the people of Ger many that America is too far distant from the scene of fighting to be able to render any aid in European fighting and that only few soldiers will be sent across the Atlantic.
 Returning travellers from Germany say, however, that there is noticeable uneasiness among the Germans over what the Americans will do if they do get there. In every aerial bogy of the American flying men, for it is in the air that their leaders have said that America may furnish assistance to the en- tente.
 And they do we'll to be uneasy Not only over the aerial fleets of America, but about the soldiers which America is sending daily into the European battlehelds. The number of these forces already strung along tie great front is not definitely known, but it is sure to be more than mere handfu! This is indicated by the statement issued by the war department Monday saying that Am Si iSdllS dlC llON dt HNC pOllllS t4e French front And each week may we'll find greater sections of the trenches being manned entirely by the Americans. Training opportunities are wider and better as more ground is taken over, and soon great stretch of the front will be in American hands
 As yet our boys have not taken any part in large actions. The fighting has been only of minor nature, but the record made iii these few encounters is sufficient proof that when the time comes for fighting on grand scale the last man in the allied advance won't be wearing an American uniform.
 Minor events, being of themselves unirn- portant may yet acquire importance through their connection to greater actions. So it is we'll to remember that so far it has been the American artillery which has dominated the bombardments in the zones of its operation: that 1t was the American troops which first penetrated the opposing lines for any depth and when the first ground changed hands it was an enemy trench occupied by American troops and not an American trench by the enemy troops.
 There may or may not be significance attached to the fact that the first sector taken over by the Americans is in section from which leads the road into Germany. They are still there and are being reinforced stead- ly. When the time arrives for the great al lied push they will form the vanguard of the tidal wave of soldiery which is to sweep the Hun back to the Rhine and establish democ- racy firmly in the world.
