Toilette Follower Returns From
Elections Incomplete.

/ Elections Incomplete.
! milwaukee,, March 1.-THE result of
Yesterdays primary was still in doubt
as between Thompson, LaFollette can
didate. and Lenroot. loyalist. Bergay,
socialist. carried Milwaukee county by
(; a vote equal to that Of Lenroot and
Thompson but he was poor third
elsewhere in the state.
Partial returns from sXty-two OF the
seventy-one counties of the state, in
cluding Milwaukee, give Lenroot &c.
G96; Thompson. 54,763. Probably 30
per cent of the vote wass till unre-
ported this forenoon.
Outstanding features of yesterday s
loyalty primary were n iive-fold in
crease OF the socialist vote. the over
whelming victory OF Joseph T.. Davis
for the democratic nomination for
senator, and the close race between
Irvine l.. Lenroot, the loyalist candi-
date. and James Thompson. who car
ried the banner of the LaFollctte re
publcans, in the senatorial race of that
party.
AS returns dribbled In the impress
sion grew that Congressman Lenroot
had defeated Thompson by a narrow
margin.
! Reports from ali but seven counties
OF the state up to 1890 o'clock this
afternoon gave Lenroot a lead OF p
4SS over Thmpson. with some counties
complete and most Of the vote reported
in others Lenroot had 6l.663 and
Thompson 5s.175.
| In milwaukee,, Berger cut heavily
into the Thompson vote and polled
practically as many as Lenroot and
Thompson together. The Incomplete
Milwaukee vote was: Berger, !5,4as;
Thompson. 9.917: Lenroot, 6,lSl
| In the state legislature the socialist
members ordinarily vote with the La
Toilette faction and stood solidly with
I.aFollette against the recent resolution
censuring him.
In milwaukee, the socialist vote for
aldermen and other municipal officers
in the nom partisan primary was even
more impressive. Mayor Hoan, social
| list. received the highest number OF
votes Of any Of the four candidates,
estimated at 20.S23. Braman, republi-
can, was his nearest opponent, with
16,2S3.

With the. American Army in France,
March 19.-American artillery on the
Toul front has heavily attacked the
Germans with gas shells the past day
or so. it is now permitted TO announce.
Four different attacks were launched
and from the manner in which the
enemy was s!lenced ,ney evidently
had the desired effect.
During one period, when gas shells
were flying over the German lines, last
night, q German aeroplare appeared
over the American lines and dropped
red rocket, for what purpose Is not
known. Shells burst so near the Ger
mans, however. that they were forced
to fly for their own lines in a hurry.
Last night the enemy observation
tower and positions on Moncz We're
shelled heavily and heavy fire was di-
rected agains. the enemy lines this
morning.
German Guns Soon Silenced.
At noon today the enemy opened a
lively fire on one Of the American po-
sitions with -millmeter guns from
the cemetery at Richcourt. The Amer
lean guns Of the same caliber came
into action and after they had fired
fifty shells tho Germans ran from the
position and took their guns with
them.
The. American guns then shelled the
village Of LaHayville. where two
heavy explosions, apparently Of NUM-
tions stores, were caused.
The German artillery directed most
Of it's attention to dropping gas shells
into one or two towns within the
American lines.
Last night American patrols entered
the German front lines at two points
but did not see a single enemy SOL
der aitho they hunted for some time.
Another patrol waited in the enemy
lines all night.
A third patrol party was discovered
by the Germans, who hurled hand
grenades and forced the Americans to
withdraw. The Americans came thru
unscathed but it is not known what
happened to the Germans.
Spirited Aerial Battles.
Many aeroplanes were up until 1t
began TO rain at noon. One airplane
from the rear Of the American line
drove OF two boche machines after Il
thrilling battle in and out of the,
clouds. Another airplane was engaged
with German when a second German
Joined in the flight. Another friendly
airman came into the action but too
late for tho airship the Americans
hoped would be victorious fell into the
enemy lines.
In the Lureville sector a few Amer
lean patrols have reached the enemy
lines. Ono party encountered an enemy
patrol and forced the Germans to
withdraw after sharp skirmisll.
Reports from both the IIunerille and
Toul sectors says more German gas
,rojectile batteries have been dts
covered and blown to pieces by the
American gunners.
Aviators Drop Gas Balls.
: A German airplane, both last night
and this morning flew over the Toul
sector and dropped rubber balls
eighteen inches in diameter, filed with
liquid mustard gas. This Is the first
time known that an aeroplane was
used for this purpose. The result was
not serious but the Americans were in
furiated, by what they termed dirty

ALLIES PLAN TO SAVE RUSSIA.
Effort to Be Made to Prevent German
Domination :


farls, March 18.-In official circles
here 1t was pointed out today that the
aeciaratlon issued last week In conne--
tlon with the inter-allied conference in
London concerns only European terri
torial questions. and hints that it is
logical that the United States and jap
an, altho in accord with the position
taken, should not have taken part in
the declaration made. A competent
authority said:
THE declaration fully comedies with
the democratic principles set forth in
President Wilson's message. It marks
the will OF the allies that peace will
not be found on any other basis than
Is based on the right.
"The declaration is Enthusiastically
vigorous as regards the Rrest-Litovsk
peace pact.
"The bolshevik b1under in putting
faith In German words concerning
peace is condemned. 1t is declared that
the allies will save Russia in spite of
herself"

PLANS TO PASS revenue.
| BILL LATE NEXT WEEK
House Speeding Up Action on
Urgent Legislation So as to
Take Recess.

House leaders are framing up the
program for disposing of urgent
legislation before recessing to await
Senate action on the revenue bill.
Democratic Leader kitchin said today
he hoped to pass the revenue bill by
a week from next Friday or Satur-
day.
When the revenue bill is disposed
of the agricultural appropriation bill,
which failed of passage before the
beginning of the fiscal year because
of Pres >ent Wilson's veto of the
wheat guarantee, will be called up,
without the guarantee provision in
it. Immediately following that the
plan is to call up the food production
bill. with it's wartime bone-dry
amendment tackled on to it in the
Senate.
Meantime. whenever the appropria-
lions committee is ready, huge de-
ficiency appropriation bill. carrying
anywhere from S4,000,000,000 upward,
not yet submitted by the War Depart
m ent, to meet the extra expenditures
caused by the new draft law, will be
taken up, without prospect OF any
real opposition, owing to it's war ur-
gency.
With these matters and some minor
legislation disposed of, the plan is to
seek a gentleman's agreement in the
House for a series of three-day re-
cesses until the Senate passes the rev.
enue bill and is ready for conference
with the House in Strengthening out
differences.
How long the recess agreement,
which will bar any legislative bust
ness, will be in effect, depends on de-
velopments, but the tentative senti-
ment now is to begin it the last part
of this month and continue under that
arrangement approximately six weeks.
