SUFFRAGE IS NOT
 NECESSARY NOW

While a group of young women were being decorated at the State Capitol, in honor of the services they have rendered the state and the nation as members of the Land Army, they were told by Gov, Holcomb that "It is a healthful thing for the women to take hold of work to increase the food SUD- ply so that the soldiers may be ade- quately fed and our population ade- quately fed too," and that nothing can be accomplished without women but it is not necessary that they should have suffrage to accomplish it."

With the French Army in France, Thursday, Aug. 29-By the Associated Press)-The Germans are making a supreme effort to maintain their posi- tions on the plateau north of Soissons. They are throwing fresh troops against both the French and the Americans and are disputing the ground foot by foot.
 After the unsuccessful enemy at- tempts a few days ago to retake the heights west of the Soissons-Coucy- Le-Chateau road, known as the Orme de Montecouve prisoners taken by one French division included men from three different divisions of infantry and two battalions of crack mountain troops.
 The loss of this height and fur ther advance made it all the more necessary for the Germans to pre- vent the Allies from gaining ground on the plateau in the region of Juvig- ny. where are the last heights de lending the valley of the Ailette where it runs eastward before turning southward again toward the Chemir des Danes. The enemy has rein forced his line there with some o: his best divisions of shock troops.
 The French Third army met witt greater resistance today along the lint of the Somme and the Canal du Nord The German opposition was particu larly stout in the region of Nesles where 1t was necessary to have ar tillery to reduce some positions.
 Tonight the villages of Rouy l. Grand and Rouy le Petit, east o Nesles, are in the hands of tn French, while south along the Cana du Nord they have Breuil, Noyen court.

 With the British Forces in France, Aug 30-(By The Associated Press)- Nooon-'Biaches, on the south bank of the Somme and about mile from Peronne, has been captured by Field Marshal Haig's forces. British troops have entered Lesboeufs and patrols have passed through Morval to the southeast.
 British troops this morning pushed foorward in an easterly direction from Bapaume.
 The British have made further ad- vances to the north of Lens At one place they pushed forward 1000 yards.
 Le Transloy, on the Bapaume-Pe- rome high road, was reported to have been captured this morning.
 London, Aug. 30-British forces east of Arras resumed their advance this morning and at an early hour had pnetrated another 2,00O yards on a front of seven miles between Bul1e- court and the Scarpe, according to ad- vices received here
 The British forces have reached within a mile of the Drocourt Queant switch line and have captured Rien- court.

Along the line farther south, wnIcT is held by the British, the night pass ed without change. There were coun- ter attacks by the Germans against General Mangin's army between the Ailette and the Aisne, but these were repulsed by the French, who hold po- sitions east of Pasly, which is less than two miles northwest of Soissons. Along the front from the Somme south to the Noyon region and thence east to the Ailette a sector which is vitally important at present, the en- emy apears to have checked the French until he can eXtricate his forces from the perilous position in the salient between the Somme and the Disc.
 Progress southeast of Arras would seem to be the most important feature of the news from the great battle. Ca nadians, it appears, slowly are ad- vancing along the Arras-Cambrai road and are widening the gap in the fam ous line to which the Germans retired eighteen months ago. It seems that any great additional British succeeds in this region may shatter Germany's hopes of conGucr- ing a, defensive campaign along this front, to which, it is probable, the | Germans now are hastily withdrawing. London, Aug. 30-British troops have captured Combles, between Ba- paume and the river Somme, the Bri- | tish war office announced today. Advanced British troops have cross ed the river Somme south and west
 of Peronne.
 Between Hendecourt and the Arras- 1 Cambrai road the Canadians attacked the German line and made favorable
