New Attack Made
On 25- Mile Line
Associated Press War Review


Allied forces this morning began a
general attack against the German line
running from Chaulnes south to the
Disc river. front OF about twenty-five
miles. Dispatches filed from London
shortly after noon reported important
gains at various points, especially on
the vital, sector south OF LasSigny,
near the Disc
The Lassigny massii, the steep slopes
OF which have been strongly defend
ed by the Germans. is reported TO be
almost within the grasp OF the French
and unofficial dispatches say there is
every prospect that this natural for
trcSs will soon be wreSted from the en-,
emmy.
Huns Quit BailIy Village.
As an immediate result of the gains
made in that sector the Germans are
abandoning their trenches in the bed
of the river Disc Just west OF the vii
lage of Bailly, east of Ribecourt
If the allies succeeded in carrying
the heights south OF Lassigny they will
force the enemy to retire from the Roye
district, as they will have the Roye-
Noyon road under their fire and will
dominate the whole region with their
artillery

It is up to the business people of Alaska to pre- pare themselves to meet the Shipping Board inves- tgators who will be here next month. The Board is going long to give the people of this Territory opportunity be heard this important ques- ton Transportation is of consequence here, probably, than in any other section of the United States for the that practically everything that is used in Alaska aside from lumber must be shipped into the Territory The life of the country depends in a large upon adequate and reasonable trans portaon facilities
 The hearings that will be held in Alaska were ordered upon the personal of Delegate Sul that the people of Alaska would present their side of the shipping question fully to the Board, and that time spent would be in vain This promise necessary for the reason that this Board is one of the busiest of the branches of government at Washington and that is loaded with work. If those interested do take the time and pains to present their matters the Board it is likely that there will be further hearings
 Let Alaskans make of their opportunity.

Any man whose first choice Tor Delegate to Congress is MT Sulzer and who expects to for Mr Sulzer in November has good reason go into the Democratic primaries and vote for him there And the thing may be said Of voter whose first choice is MT.

been killed and the world deprived of their services in this last attempt to defeat the British line in France
 If the apparent shall prove to be the true condi- ton and the Germans shall be compelled to cease their offensive movement, may look for the beginning of a great drive by the Allies. While no plans have been made public as yet there is sort of understanding the National capital that the Al lies contemplate trying to defeat the German Western army this year. If such should be the intention it would seem that no better time than just after the failure the German attempt to beat our line could be selected.

tions of honor and trust at the hands of Strong, holding views and allegiance politically against the Democratic party are giving voice to the charge that Democratic party leaders knew of Strong's disability at the time of his appointment, but concealed such information in or der to let him secure the appoint ment.
 Is it reasonable to suppose that there is foundation in fact for this charge? With many capable and deserving of the party to choose from would leading Democrats of the Territory seek to place in office ] man known to be legally incapaci- tated for the position? To reas- enable mind the question answers itself in the negative.
 It is true that Strong's nativity was questioned after he became Governor. The first newspaper in Alaska, to print the story that he was born in Canada, was the Dis pdlCH Ol J uHtdu, story puTpOIllHS to have been taken from the col umns of the Vancouver News-Ad vertiser. Afterward J. w. Frame took occasion frequently to charge either directly or by inuendo that Alaska's Governor was a Canadian. However, no evidence of any nature was submitted to substantiate the statements and Strong remained mute. Later the question was again raised by E. l. Wade, an ir- responsible stenographer who had been employed in the Governors of flee, and resigned.
 thorough canvas of the situa- tion discloses that those who are most deeply grieved over the eX- posture are those on the Governors payroll, and those who have receiv- ed positions of honor at his hands and who have no interest in the welfare of the Democratic party and care very little about the po- litical future of the Territory eX- cept as it may directly concern themselves personally

LET THE PEOPLE KNOW

"Gov. Strong is down and out and about to leave the Territory, why not let him go in peace" say the Wickershames So! His spite candidate and his appointees the job He is leaving personal representatives behind to ruin Aaskas best citizens and the Democratic party for him, and deliver the Territory Wickersham. In other words he is stiR trying to Alaska, though his official in Al aska will be short.
 The people of Alaska have right to know that the man at the head of their government and who is trying to betray the party which honored him and the Territory into the hands of Wickersham is a mas querader-a foreigner. It is newspapers duty to tell the people that which they have right know.
 But" say these Wickersham men, why were the facts not printed before?"
 While there were rumors in circulation concerning the citizenship of Gov. Strong, and while those who investigated the evidence believed for months that he was not citizen the facts estab- shed by complete proof until recently and the proofs did not reach Juneau until very recently. It was clearly the duty of newspaper to refrain from the printing anything until is was certain of the facts.
