SATURDAY. NOVEMBER IS. 1918
Will STAND BY THE PRESIDENT.

The republicans will refuse the adj
ministration no necessary legislation
or appropriation, but they will ma
turally demand the reasons for such
appropriations and legislation and will
exact rigid accounting.
This is precisely the spirit in which
the American voters have turned the
control of the next congress over to
the republicans. The overturn was
not disapproyal of the Wilson war
policies, except the last partisan APP
peal, made in the name of patriotism,
was disappointing as nothing by the
president ever before was disappoint-
ing to the American people, and (
was resented at the polls.
But the country has become dis
gusted with the southern democratic
control of the present congress, its
blind partisanship, its narrow section
alism, its loose business methods.
There need be no fear that the re-
publican congress will fail the admin
istration in any vital matter. But it
will not permit the administration to
turn over American markets to Europe
or TO admit in large numbers immi-
grafton of those who want to escape
the taxation sure to fall upon the
countries Of Europe for years to come.
Unless prevented by legislation we
may expect millions of Germans and
Austrians to seek homes in America.
But the president knew when he
made his partisan appeal to the voters
that the republican minority in both
houses of congress had been thorough
~ dependable. 1t was most fortunate
for the prosecution of the war that a
democrat was in the presidential
chair. Even as head of his party in
the nation woodrow Wilson found it
most difficult TO keep a majority of
the democrats lined up for the war.
Had ne been a republican president
evidence is not lacking that his meas
ures would have been fought as uni
formly by the democrats and as bitter
ly as they fought the Mckinley policies
during the Spanish-American war.
The republican minority in the
present congress will be the backbone
of the majority in the next congress,
and will prove no less dependable and
patriotic.
The duty will rest on the president
to consult with the republican leaders
in both houses, in carrying on the
government. If he should attempt the
same habit he had with the demo-
Gratis of sending over bills by Post
master General Burleson he will get
badly left. The republicans do not
like Burleson and they have no con-
fidence in the ability of Baker. The
president will have to talk things over
with the republican leaders, if he
. wants to get anywhere. This may moi
be relshed by the president. He never
has invited q republican leader to {
conference at the White House.
But it is the mandate of the Amer
lean people that for the next two
years there shall be a coalition gov
eminent carried on by agreement ant
cooperation between the administra
ton and congress. The republican
majority will be found doing its share
in the program. The question i
whether President Wilson will be abl'
to abate his partisanship enough t.
make the program a success.

AMERICAN FORCES RAISE
 MORALE OF ALLIED TROOPS.

New York. Aug 1s.-The spirit of American forces overseas has raised the morale of the allied troops to the highest, pitch, according to I'D. E. W. Buckley of St. Paul. Minn.. supreme physician of the Knights of Columbus, 10 has inst returned from a tour of the western front. While there he .t.I n.e4V.ews with General Pershing, General Mangln, Premier Clemenceau and other allied leaders.
 The keenest impression of anyone who has the opportunity to visit the American front is that our boys have brought the spirit of victory overseas with them" Dr. Buckley declared. They are out to win. The French know it, the British know it and, what is more important, the Germans know it.
 Never in my life have seen such an inspiring crowd as the American boys who came out of the battle of Chateau Thierry. many of them cruelty wounded but not one of them anything but gratifed at the glory of | having given the Germans taste ot American steel"
 This spirit, Dr. Buckley asserted was in sharp contrast with the spirit 1 of German prisoners he saw.
 One of them couldn't have been more than 15," he said This boy i told American officers his mother had bade him surrender at the first op- | portunity."

ENEMY IS GIVING GROUND BEFORE THE BRITISH ATTACK
In the Famous Lys Salient in the Region West of Aentieres the Big Guns of the British Are Working Havoc Among the Defenders of the Insecure German Line.

from the allied guns, the British have drawn nearer the road leading from Chaulnes to Rove between Chilly and F'ransart placing Rove in greater jeopardy by attack from the north. At the same time to the south of Rove, over the four mile front between Beuvraignes and Canny sur -Matz, a violent artillery duel is raging be- tween the French and the Germans. It is in this region that the French are endeavoring-and in their initial efforts they have met with consider able success-to carry forward their twofold purpose of outflanking both Rove and Lassigny by a drive east ward in the direction of the road lead ing southeastward from Rove to Noyon.
 Along the Vesle river front, where the Americans and French are hold ing the line against the Germans, there has been considerable reciprocal artillery smelling, but with the weight of gun power and of shells resting with the allied troops, they gave the
 enemy two shells for one. An indi- cation that the German line immedi- ately in front of the French and
 Americans is thinly held is the fact that American patrols at svarioU points have penetrated sectors up tC the enemys barbed wire and trenches
 without encountering infantrymen. In Lorraine, where the Americans captured the village of Frapelle, neal | St. Die, Saturday morning. they have pressed on and gained more ground
 notwithstanding heavy bombardmen l by the enemy.

SENATOR LEWIS TALKS
 OF AMERICAS WAR PURPOSE

Paris, Aug. 1S-United States Sen ator James Hamilton Lewis of Chic ago. who recently returned from 9 visit to the troops from his home state, was the guest of honor at a dinner at the Voleny Club yesterday. Francisco Manod presided. Professor Fernand Baldensperger, visiting pro- lessor at Columbia University, New York, introduced Senator Lewis.
 Much enthusiasm was manifested when Senator Lewis, in the course of his speech, referred to the French mission to the United States. which was headed by Captain Andre Tardieu, now head of the general commission for Franco American war matters, as sthe beautifying and strengthening link of friendship between the United States and France and 10 Gcnzral John J. Pershing, commander in -chieef of the American forces in France as q man having our nations whole confidence, his record in America qualifying him for any post any gov ernment could entrust to any man.
 The United States acceptance of Marshal Foch as commander of the American soldiers was proof that Am erica would never stand upon her pride or position in any effort that would hasten victory, Senator Lewis declared
 Perhaps the greatest enthusiasm was aroused when the senator said
 France and the world must un- derstand that America has not en. tered the war hastily, without meas uring the extent to which she mus go to establish the principles fol which she has given her property anC offered the lives of her sons. Am erica's position will continue to be Every sacrifice for liberty; no com promise with despotism."

(By The Associated Press.)

Gradually the famous Lys salient in the region west of Armentieres is giving way under the pressure of the British. Again Field Marshal Haig' S forces have compelled the enemy to seek ground to the eastward where he will be more secure from the shells of the big guns that for several weeks have been firing criss- cross over the entire salient, working havoc among the defenders of the insecure line.
 Likewise, the Germans are being given no rest by the Franco British forces north and south of the Somme, and the French and Americans along , the Vesle and the Americans in LOT raine also are harassing them by mili- tary fire and local attacks. Nowhere [ has the enemy had the better of any encounter.
 Over a front of four miles, between Belleul and Vieux Bercquien on the Lys sector, the British have forced back the Germans to a depth ranging from 1000 to 1000 yards, taking in the manoeuvre the village of Cutter steen and 400 prisoners. A little to ! the south along the Lye river near Merville the British also have ad- vanced their line. and still further Germans have been relieved. under pressure of further terrains near Buc- Quoy.
 While as a whole the German line between the Somme and the Disc riv- CTS still is holding, notwithstanding the terrific pounding it is receiving
