GENERAL BELIEF IS THAl ns

EXPRESS Hope That Allied Forces oe-

Similar to That Suffered
BY the AustTians'

man drive reaching here lead army
experts to hope that the allied Iorees
defending the Marine will be able to
inHict n defeat upon the Germans
similar to that suffered by the Aus
trians in their vain efforts at the
Pave.
Recause of the general belief that
the offensive is the last the Germans
can undertake this year, ana because
General Foch for the first time since
he assumed general command has an
adequate force under him, interest
here is at fever heat. Soon AFTER
press reports announced the Initiation
If the drive. President Wilson called
upon Secretary of War Baker at the
war department. At that time Secre-
tary Baker had received no late dis
patches from the American headquar-
tiers.
Although II was reported that Pres
ident Wilson's visit with Secretary
Baker had to do with the part when
the Unitd States may play In the aid
TO be sent TO Siberia. no confirmation
was available. Officials interested In
the Siberian question stated that all
matters In relation to the RUSSIAN
question were proceeding fayorably
An announcement In regard to the

Surprise Element Lost.
II is pointed out that the excel
lence of the intelligence reports OF
the American forces would indicate
that the German attack did not take
the Americans by surprise and the
early report that the American forces
were so disposed that they We're able
quickly TO organize an effective coun-
terattaek. gave rise to the belief that
the Germans soon would be checked.
The new German drive is looked
upon by many close students of Ger
man strategy as II part Of a new
peace offensive. Ii is held that the
Germans hope TO push their lines for
ward to a point where they can con-
centrate many high powered guns
upon Paris.
To Brighten Paris.
II Is pointed out that Germany may
have construed that her only hope
of forcing the allies to consider a
peace move at this time would be
to place Paris in danger of being re.
duced to ashes. From propaganda
sent out from German quarters 1t II
evident that in the coming month
great efforts will be made to weaker
the will to win among the allies. 70
that reason, an attack against IN

ed to demonstrate that the new force

be depended upon to hurl the Gel
mans across the Rhine.

nation and the executive message OF
acceptance that body acted forthwith.
He was dropped from the rolls with al
most feverish haste.
Let rs hope that Senator Harper has
disappeared as q factor in the public
life of the state. To place the most
generous Interpretation upon his con-
duct, he arrogsted to himself the right
to dictate line Of thought with res
pect to financing the war that antago-
nized the plans of those responsible
for conducting it. Necessarily, this
had tendency 70 embarrass the enforc
ment Of war MEASURES in his section.
OF course, Mr.. Harper's reasons for
resigning are mere excuses. The idea
of powerful interests seeking his down.
fall, or money being raised TO effect it,
is crochet of the imagination. Mr..
Harper is not that important. The
chances are that if he had not written
and circulated the pamphlet that
brought him into positive disrepute
with patriotic citizens. he would not
have been molested in the performance
of senatorial duties.
Let it be understood that we feel
sorry for Mr.. Harper. We feel sorry
for any man whose vision is 90 narrow
and whose patriotism is 30 tainted
with the leaven of self-esteem that he
counts American solidarity in time of
war very little thing compared with
his sickiy pride of opinion. In war or
in peace every man has right to hold
his own views. but he has no right
whatever. to embarrass his government
by Haunting them.
But, while we are sorry for Mr..
Harper, We rejoice that he no longer
influences our laws or helps confect
them. There is no place in our scheme

Exit Harper.

Mr.. s. J. Harper, of VIM parish, is
no longer member of the Louisiana
senate. His case has some queer an.
giles. but Its termination was happy
for the great cause Of American pa.
triotism. Mr.. Harper retired under
fire. though he subsequently appeared
to change his mind about it. The SEN
ate voted to drop him from the rolls.
Hence. both Mr.. Harper and the booy
in which he served are on record as op-
posed to q continuation of his services.
Winn and Grant parishes are without
representation in the state senate, but
Mr.. Harper could have relieved them of
that embarrassment by resigning ear
lier. He was advised to do so and
those who advised him had knowledge
Of an impending movement in the sem
ate to GUST him. Practically throughout
north Louisiana public sentiment was
against him and his expulsion seemed
certain.
BUT Mr.. Harper announced that he
was going to stand to his guns. Then
he disappointed the few who pinned
their faith to him by resigning on the
eve of the legislative session. His res
ignation was sent to Governor Pleas
ant. and later some wisescre held that
was irregular. A close examination of
the statutes showed it to be perfectly
legal and regular, but Mr.. Harper was
induced to think otherwise.
Summoned by wire from Baton
r uge. he went to the state capital to
take his accustomed place in the SEN
ate. But he YVES induced to return

FARM WORK TO
BE CONSIDERED

No Withdrawal of Men for Military
Service Which Would Embarras
Harvesting-Men Will Be Called
Gradually.
Washington Dispatch.
While a large number of men will
be called out during the present year
to fill up the army and complete it's
organization, War Department plans
do not call for the creation of any
additional divisions in 1913. The an
nouncement concerning the second
draft expected soon frdn Provost
Marshal General Crowder may out
lie the manner in which less than
100000 men-probably not much il
excess of 800,00G-are to be summon
ed gradually during the year to com.
plete the existing organizations.
Delay IN the announcement as to ths
next draft is understood to be due tt
uncertainty as to which method of al
loting quotas to the States is to be fol
lowed The Senate already has pass
ed and the House military cosnmittet
has favorably reported an amendmen
to the law to base the quota on tn
number Of men in class one, insteat
of upon the total registration Of ;

certain to be made, but to avoid fur

in that respect as has been feared.
According to news item published
! in Thursdays Robesonian, it is conf

laborers included in the next draft
will not be taken until after the crops
\ are laid by, so those who have been
on the fence about whether Or not to
start a crop may go ahead with THEN
work. 1t would be folly for man tc
fail to cultivate a crop because OF
what racy happen between now anc

with ones work and do the best one
can until actually called into service
Al news item published elsewhere il

1nent. An employment bureau will be
established in Lumberton for the pul
pose of bringing the job and the mar
together 1t is to be hoped that thi
will help materially to solve the prob
lem of labor shortage on the farms
If all the men who should be at worI

It of the election in New York last
,esday, says: "When New York
", the home of the most relentless
bdy of critics the present admin -
alton has, elected four Democratic
Eongressmen yesterday, it can be as
med safely that the people as a
ole have no patience with parti-
aship at such a time as this. The
te which was cast must be regarded
an affirmative vote of confidence

The Republicans confidently expect
to elect two of the candidates, pos
bly, three. They played up every
ing they knew and sought to cap
lize all the opposition to the war
d all the unpopularity Of the Pres
ent's policies, but when it came rigllS
wn to brass tacks the people were
It willing to give aid and comfort
the enemy by even seeming to
ndemn their national administration

The result gives the Democrats a ttss-a
