HUNS METHODICALLY
PREPARING TO RESUME
THE Big OFFENSIVE

While the Germans continue to re-
constitute with fresh elements their
units shattered Ny the allies during
the recent big offensive. they are
keeping up intensive bombardmcn1s
against the British and French pos
tions on various sectors in FLANDERS
and PiCardy. They also have become
enbrolcd With the French in heavy
artillery ducl5 i'll Champagne and in
the Vosges mountains.
Nowhere on any part of the line
from the North sea to tho Swiss from
tier has there been an infantry en-
gagement Of great Importance. Near
Morlancourt, which lies to the south
of Albert, the Germans delivered an
attack against the British on a front
of nearly q mile and at one polnt
penetrated u British position. The
Australians in counter-attdck al
most Immediately rccapturcd the
ground and the enemy suffered heavy
losses and was repulscd on the 9th
or parts of the front.
A similar operation was attempted
against the French on Hill a., the
scene of many previous bloody en-
counters in the KENNEL sector. Tn
official accounts say the enemy gain
cd q foothold on the rugged slopes,
but that the French were pressing
them hard while Field Marshal HaiS
in his latest communication asserts
that an attack north of KENNEL
! (Which might include hill f4 was
repulsed. North Of Robecq in Elan
ders. the British took the initiative
into their own hands, and in an at
! tack inflicted casualties on the enemy
and captured prisoners. On the
Aniens sector the French carried out
a similar maneuVer with like results.
/ Wherever the Germans essayed a
stroke, except near Morlancourt and
Hill A, they met with almost instant
repulse at the hands of the Allies.
Although the Germans everywhere
are remaining in comparative quiet
except for their artillery work. 1t Is
realized behind the allied lines that
this state Of affairs will not last long,
for the enemy is known to be pre-
pairing methodically for a resump-
! ton of hostilities. The Strengthening
of the line is being made both in
men and gun power and in reconsti-
tuting regiments that we're shot to
pieces by the Allied guns during the
big drive. The Germans are bringing
up men who have had no part in the
great struggle.

parcntly is beyond the realm of CIV IN

county His supporters who had been
espousing his cause before he came
were delighted with his splendid presen-
tation of the issues Of the campaign and
his presentation of his own claim for
the suffrage of loyal Georgians.
Colonel Dan R. Bruce, a prominent
Valdosta attorney who introduced him,
laid especial stress upon the fact that
Mr.. Howard has been distinguished in
congress for his answering devotion
to the administration of President Will
son, and has played a very important
part as a member of the appropria
tions committee of the house in prepar-
ing the nation for war. Mr.. Howard was
applauded as he entered r@e courtroom
and applauded as he ro1e in acknOwl
edgement of Colon$A brcce's tntroduc-
ton.
by way of preface he explained that
abuse and misrepresentation of his can
didacy by the newspapers of south
Georgia have made it necessary for him
to cut out the biggest task ever con-
fronted by a candidate for public Of
fee in this state-the task of meeting
the people of every county face to face
and telling them the truth concerning
who he is, what manner of man he
is, what he has done, what he has
stood for, and what he stands for
now
Mr. Howard then presented briefly
record of his public service in the
Georgia legislature. as solicitor general
Of his circuit, and as a member Of
congress for nearly eight years. His
mention of the fact that twelve votes
was the largest number ever polled
against him by any opponent in his
home precinct, where he was born and
raised and has lived practically all his
life, was received with applause. His
mention of his reelection to congress
in 1916 by a very large majority over
the opposition of the liquor forces was
also warmly applauded
From this Mr.. Howard passed to a
presentation of the record of Senator
Hardwick in opposition to the principal
measures advanced in congress for the
| prosecution of the war. He analysed the
! Junior senator's position on the selec-
ave service law, his position on the
| food control law, his position on the
| fuel contrOl law, his position on the
railway control resolution, his position
| on the sedition law. His scoring crltl-
| cism of all these positions taken by
! the Junior senator was received with
| freouent and emphatic applause. His
severe arraignment of Senator Hard
| wick for voting against the sedltlon
| bill especially impressed and aroused
! the audience.
when 1 was a solicitor general"
| said he, II never could understand the
| DEGRADATION that would cause a man to
desert the wife of his bosom and the
children of his loins, and now 1 can
not understand or comprehend either
the mental process or the spiritual feel
! ing that brought Senator Hardwick to
vote against the sedition bill. By that
vote he said in effect to the traitors and
! spies abroad in our country: Go ahead
| with your Indictment to riot. Go ahead
| with your Indictment to resistance OF
the laws enacted by your government

whelmed by the greeting of the civilians.
More than 200. mostly old men and
women, had remained in the town during
the German occupation. They were
locekd in the cathedral when the Boches
evacuated. but liberated themselves. The
Boches looted the town thoroughly,
breaking into shops and private houses
and taking all valuables There were

but apparently the town had been light
ly held during the last few hours of
German occupation. 1t was not greatly
damaged by the allied artillery.
The French took five prisoners when
they entered. One of the Boches said
he had oversight and that other MEM
bers of his company failed to awaken
him when they withdrew. The other four
ly remained to maintain communication
with their retreating comrades.
Some of the German steel pontoor
bridges are now being used by the
Americans and French, while along the
line pto Scissors German cannon have
been turned around and are firing on
the Boche.
Weakening OF the German artillery
fire near Chateau Thierry was explain
ed by prisoners to be due to lack OF
ammunition. Allied artillery fire along
the communicating road prevented the
enemy from bringing up supplies.
The French were the first to enter
Chateau Thierry, the Americans later
coming up and moving through the viii

cred so little resistance, including ar
