WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE AISNE-MARNE FRONT, Aug. 1.
The Germans used less artillery late
yesterday against the attacking forces
on the front, depending more upon
their machine gunners for defending
their line. This fact coupled with
stories of prisoners and deserters tend
to strengthen the belief that they are
planning withdrawal to new posi-
tions along the river Vesle.
A deserter who came into the lines
last night declared that orders had
been issued for series of retrograded
movements until Fismes on the Vesle
bad been reached.
Except for minor engagem ents there
was only artillery fire along the line
up TO noon today and that was COM
paratively light.

by the combined dry forces of the
state to induce the Republican and
Democratic parties to include planks

amendment, it was announced yes
terday by DIR. John Royal Harris.
state superintendent of the Dry Fed
Grafton of Pennsylvania.
In connection with this announce
ment DIR. Harris stated that the
''drys" captured the house in the
recent primary election and have
more than a fighting chance to have
the national amendment ratified by
the Senate. This, he said, taken
with the fact that the Republican
nominee for governor. Senator W. c.
Sproul and the Democratic nomipec
for lieutenant governor, j. Wash
inston Logue, have declared in favor
of ratification, makes the adoption
of such planks by the two dominant
parties, the logical course to be pur
sued.
The dry forces" said DR.. Harris
Yesterday, will be on hand at the
meetings of the Republican and
Democratic state committees to in
sist that planks pledging these par
ties to the ratification of the national
prohibition amendment be inserted
in their platforms. The result of the
recent primary election paves the
way toward such action, for the
of u 90; e.,
doubt has been captured by the dry
forces and there is more than
lighting chance to get the required
&c votes for ratification in the Sen
ate. This is the first time in the his
tory of the dry movement in Penn
sylvania that such a result has been
indicated by a primary election re-
suit
"A careful analysis of the NOM
inees of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties for the lower house
plainly shows that more than 104,
the required number. have been
nominated in districts where such
nominations are equivalent to cleo
ton. With regard to senatorial
nominations the result is not quite
so certain. Taking the holdover
dry senators, those nominated who
are certain of election and those
nominated who have a good chance
of election, we are inclined to the
view that ratification will win in the
Senate. We propose to center our
strength behind all dry senatorial
candidates who have contests on and
who have a chance for election.

ltcan candidate for governor. Mr..

governor, Mr.. Logue, both of whom
are on record as favorable to ratiti-
cation, together with the legislative
results, l have outlined. the situa-
tion is indeed a most encouraging
one and we feel assured that at last
Pennsylvania is to be taken from the
wet column. 1t is also important
in analyzing the trend in Pennsyl-
vania toward the abolition of the
liquor traffic to note the fact that
great gains have been made in the
state delegat ton in Congress as
result of the action of the people

On the books it costs money and as
watch words of modern business
1t was decided to adopt this plan.
The necessity of shortening cred
it's has been repeatedly commented
upon by our government and Its
suggestion has been unanimously
adopted by every member OF the or
ganization. The dealers are conf
dent that each and every one OF
their customers now enjoying
charge account will be glad TO CO.
operate with them in this patriotic
move and help them maintain the
high standard of service at present
prices. The tri-city dealers are not
the only ones to have placed their
business on a cash basis. This
Plan has been adopted by dealers
in many of the large cities through
out the United States. From re-
ports received this plan has proven
most satisfactory both to the
dealers as well as to the custom
ers.
Until this year. the association
las had no commissioner, and con-
sequently little could be accom-
plished as there was no one who
could give the necessary time and
thought to the work.
In January of this year it was de-
cided to have some one devote his
entire time to the interests of the
association. To make this possible
the three associations then existing
agreed to consolidate with the tri-
city organization. The associations
which merged were the Scott coun-
ty and Rock Island county.
