Business men, after an extended de-

twenty-eight members, declared without
a dissenting voice FOR the substitution at
the fall election of "A small commission

Former Senator Edward s. Lee de-
cared that he could not see how any

Leeds claimed a clean saving Of SEQ

(By The Associated Press)


Marshal Foch, pursuing his pol
icy OF giving the Germans never
a minutes rest, followed up the in
cisive stroke Of the Americans
which wiped out the St. Mihiel sal
lent in two days time, by launching
an offensive Saturday morning on
the French front along the bend in
the line around Laon.
The blow took immediate effect
on the German lines, pushing them
back from one to two miles at points
in this important sector where it is
we'll nigh vital for the Germans to
hold fast if they hope to retain con-
troll of any part of northern France
during the comi,g winter.
Meanwhile the process of cleaning
up the St. Mihiel salient was being
continued by General Pcrshings 5
troops, who so far are reported to
have effected the capture OF more
than 10000 Germans as the result
of the clean-out drive Of, the Amer
ican first army.

WAR SUMMARY
CENTRAL NEWS PHOTO SERVICE, NEW YORK;

ress already in this by taking Mont
des Singes, south of the Ailette. 1t
is but short distance thence to the
Anizy-Pinon line, th9 capture Of
which by Petain last fail compelled
the German crown prince to fall
back from the Chemin-deS Danes to
the Ailette line to the north.
The French progress here like
wise represents renewal of the
drive at st. Gobain massif, and there
lore at the citadel of l-aon, which
that bastion defends. Moving direct
ly into the massif further north
above the Ailette, the French and
reported to be progressing satisfac-
toriyl.
Along the Aisne the advance has
taken the French some distance fur
ther towards the east, and they were
carly reported to have reached Vail
ly, on the north bank of the Aisne,
pushing the Germans back from the
river as they advanced.
The British front has held intact
against a series of German assaults
in what appears to be fit of desper-
alton over the inroads made in the
defenses of Cambria by Field Mar
shal Haig's forces in their recent
progress. The British successfully
beat off several such attacks at Hav-
rincourt and Gouzeaucourt, holding
their valuable positions on the high
ground in this sector.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-09-15
Hard Blow to Enemy.

There were indications in the re-
ports from the front that the Amer
lean success might have done some
what more than to straighten out the
line above the former St. Mihiel
bend, for the Germans were said to
be retiring near Cratillon. along a
front five or six mielS to the north
west of the former westerly tip OF
the salient. They were probably
forced to this in the readjustment OF
their line to meet the altered con-
ditions.
With the lessening OF the tension
on the st. Mihiel front, interest is
centered at presetn i'll the French
assault on the Ailette-Aisne front.
General Petain's troops here were
gaining ground where yard was
extremely valuable. for the German
position along the Aisne ard the
Vesle to the east have been under
an increasing threat for some time
by the French advance on their left
flank. The advance will not have
to be pressed much further before
a German retreat on 4 wide front in
this sector will be compelled.

BY driving in sharply in his pres

intends TO make untenanble even

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS
SEEK TO MINIMIZE
SUCCESS OF PERSHING

Amsterdam, Sept. 14.-The Ger.
man newspapers are attempting tc
minimize the advance of the Amer
leans at St. Mihiel but the Berlin
correspondent of the Cologne Volks
Ieitung admits that 'it is true the
American attack was marked by GER
tain losses in prisoners and some
guns on our part.
The correspondent adds signifi-
cantly:
Even il an attack on our position
with the Chemin- -des- Danes should
succeed. or if the supreme army
command would give up this area
for other reasons. it would no long
er have any significance for the
strategical positions, even if it were
the matter of an area which has been
so hotly fought over as the Chemin-
des-Dames."
The Frankfort Zeitung remarks;
1T is a pity that the way things
happened gives our enemies especial
" the Americans, the chance of rep
rescnting the evacuation of the St.
Mihiel salient as 4 considerable tao
tical success-as a new link in the
