The Fighting Yesterday.

With the British Army in France,
Aug. 25.-The British continue
smashing the Germans toward the
old Hindenburg line, which has al
most been reached on the northern
battle zone. The defences of Bau-
paume have either already been cap
tured or are in process of being cap
tured. Baupaume itself must fall
shortly. The Germans exhibit signs
of cracking at some places but are
offering desperate resistance. Many
more guns, some of large calibre,
have been taken. One British corps
alone has counted eighty guns
There is evidence Of confusion In
the enemy rear. Units of the same

THE GERMANSS
ARE HOPELESS

British Army Headquarters, Aug.
5.-Reuters) 1.-The demeanor OF
of hundreds of German officers taken
prisoner recently is in striking con-
trast with the attitude Of officers
captured last spring Then German
officer prisoners were arrogant and
meant to crush the British to earth,
but now they are depressed and
very anxious. They appear very
willing to talk and the tenor of their
conversation may be summed up as
follows: They say Germany en-
tered the war with enthusiasm, but
this has long since disappeared and
the struggle has now become an
economic one with Great Britain.
They admit that Germany is in
practically hopeless condition,
both economically and from the
man-power point of view and ask
whether Great Britain cannot now
consider Germany sufficiently re-
duced to be no longer dangerous
trade rival or whether the Allies in
tend to crush her altogether. In
the latter case, they say, Germany
will be forced to fight to the last,
but they make no effort to conceal
their impression of what this means
for the fatherland.

THE SUGAR
SITUATION
So Interesting Has it Become to
Housewives That We Pub
lish Matter
REGARDING THE SUPPLY
Plenty of Sugar for Canning, Says
Food Board

Food Board
Housewives can get sugar in 20
pound lots if they have certificates.
A statement was issued by the Fed
eral Food Board Saturday assuring
housewives that though sugar is
scarce there is plenty for canning
and preserving, which may be Sc
cured in 25-pound lots, and more
whenever necessary, upon the pre-
sentation of a certificate stating
that the sugar is to be used solely
for such purposes.
Reports have reached the board
that some housewives are ultra-con-
servative this season in the matter
of home canning because they know
that sugar is scarce" says the state
ment. 1T would be unfortunate II
any fruits or vegetables were per-
mitted to go to waste for lack of su-
gar. Housewives are therefore ad-
vised that sugar is available for all
requirements for canning and pre-
serving fruits and vegetables. Nei-
ther fruits nor vegetables should be
allowed to go to waste. journal

Milford chronicle., 1918-03-29

SINCE THE GREAT battle started
a week ago in France the people OF the
world have been anxiously waiting to
learn just how far the German army
will be able to push back the English
and French, who have borne the brunt
Of the great shock of battle, and there
has been fear that the heavy massed
lighting of the enemy might break
thru and roll back the troops defend
ing the capital Of France. Never in
the history of the world has the car
mage been greater, and the estimates
Of casualties run well into the hun
dreds Of thousands for the Germans
alone. whose loss naturally must be
greater than the defenders of the
lines which they attack. At the pres
ent writing, the advance OF the Ger
man hOrdes has been checked, and it
may be that the English and French
will be able TO launch return attack.
If this should be undertaken, the re-
suit will have much TO do in bringing |
about a peace. At present the result
Of the fighting is undecided. and the I
people OF the United States must ex-
pect to hear OF great casualty lists
among the American troops who are
now at the front in France. 1t is a
serious situation that we in America
now face along with the Allied coun-
tries with whom we are fighting
against Germany.

IN REPLY 10 a request signed by
members of the State Central Commit
tee of the Republican Party, the chair
man, A. R. Benson, has issued a call
for a meeting of that body to be held
at Dover on Wednesday. April 10th,
next, to confer on and consider the
present campaign in which the Repub-
hcans of Delaware should enter with
harmony. If there is a disposition TO
be fair, and no attempt is made to
ostracise Republicans because of past
differences. then something tangible
can be accomplished No more prac-
tees or plans of 1916 can be attempted
without disastrous results to the Re-
publican Party. The mistaken policy
Of punishing or belitteling any per-
son, or followers of any faction, will
meet with the iron hand of defeat.
There is one certain and fixed princi-
pie which must be observed in han
ding the plans for the campaign OF
1918, which is, that no dupont, or man
recognized as a. representative Of a
dupont shall be placed on the ticket
for United States Senator. We have
men in both Kent and Sussex County
who are of unquestioned fealty to the
Republican Party upon whose shoul-
ders the Senatorship would rest with
credit to all OF Delaware Today Del
aware is represented in the United
States Senate and in the lower branch
Of Congress by men from the lower
counties Of the State, but who hap
pened to be residing in Wilmington
when selected for these positions. We
have others just as capable who will
represent Delaware equally we'll. or
better from which the Republicans
can make selection. without the in
lection of the personal quarrels of the |
dupont factions in Wilmington. The |
conference should meet and settle |
squarely the differences, after a plain
and straightforward discussion of the
basic principles upon which an ad-
justment of differences can be made.
and then steps be taken at once to
carry the plans into effect This can
be done, and unless it is done, then
we may as we'll cry, "All hail, Willard
Salisbury, United States Senator from
Delaware until 1925" The northern
States which will swing into line for
the Republican Party are looking to
Delaware to send a Republican Sena-
tor to Washington to succeed Mr.
Saulsbruy, and upon the action of the
next few weeks the result depends.
