PARIS. Aug. 15.-Botn sides are
gathering strength for resumption of
heavy fighting That, however, does
not prevent the French from hammer
ing away at the Lassigny-Noyon line
and doggedly struggling onward through
gas-choked woods.
General Humbert's men have carried
Ribecourt, which barred the road rum
ming toward Noyon between Thtescourt
ridge and the Disc and protected the
Germans in Ourscamp forest, east OF
the river. It is a useful success that
seriously endangers both Thiescoure
ridge and the Ourscamp salient.
The enemy in the Th1escourt position.
ALREADY severely shaken by the attacks
of General Humbert's left, is reported
to be showing signs Of giving way.
The violent artillery duel between
the Avre and the Disc continued dur

ment from the war office today. A Ger

The race for governor was still in
doubt as between Kilby and Brandon,
with Kilby claiming a lead of 5000 first
choice votes and Brandon claiming a
lead of 1000. a count of second choice
votes may be necessary to determine
the nominee.
In the Ninth district, Representative
Huddleston has been renominated for
congress by a vote double the total
combined vote of both his competitors.
Last friday President Wilson sent a
telegram to Birmingham in which he
said Mr.. Huddleston was in every way
an opponent of the administration"
That this did not have the expected eff
feet, however, was shown by the fact
that at a big mass meeting in Bes-
semer Friday night, strong resolutions
were adopted endorsing President Will

In the First district the result of the
