HUNS ARE MAKING
LITTLE PROGRESS

toward Amiens stopped that General
Foch had the greater bulk of his re-
serves in or near the area that is
now being attacked. Not only are
these troops within striking distance
of the front, but there are natural
obstacles which also initiate against
the entire success of the German
assault. The high hills which are
now the scene of heavy fighting are
but outposts of the positions which
which bisects the field upon which
the battle will be fought If the first
lines of defense are overwhelmed.
Try Flank Movement
The present assault on the line
east of Montidier may be considered
as a complement of the offensive
along the Aisne and when the map
is studied, it will be seen that the
"pincer" system followed by Macken-
sen in Russia, Serbia and Rumania is
again at work. If the thrust just
west of Noyon succeeds in gaining
extensive ground it will approach the
line from Scissors to Chateau Thi-
erry and a retirement from the posi-
tions taken up, by the, allies there
would be forced.
On the other hand. if the drive
gains ground further west, it will
outflank the positions held by the
French and Americans at Montdidier
and compel their readjustment, with
the resultant uncovering of armies.
The wings. however, seem to be
holding firmly and the only gains
so far made have been in almost
the center of the line, where they
are least harmful to the front
According to advices from the
front, the Germans have thrown
more than 100000 men against the
line. which measures a little over
twenty miles in length. This does
not equal the numbers hurled against
the British before Cambrai on March
21, nor is it such a concentration OF
men to the mile as was used at the
inception of the German offensive
in Flanders in April, but it is a
menacing force to which may be
| added at any time the full weight OF
the German reserves which are be-
lieved to be massed somewhere near

Prohibition advocates vigorously
contested Senator Penrose's parlia-
mentary move. Senator Jones of
Washington declared that the bill is a
temporary. special measure to stimu-
late food production during the war
and is not a permanent or regular"
appropriation measure. He suggested
that the Senate itself should decide
whether 1t is general appropria-
tion measure.
The bills title-encouragemen of
food production-indicate that ii is

REPUBLICANS FEAR FORD
WOULD ACT AS DEMOCRAT
G.. o. P. Men Here Say His Election
as Michigan's Senator Would
Be Party Loss.

Republicans in Washington of ma
tional prominence heartily approve
the action of the republican executive
committee of Michigan in refusing
to accept democratic offers of fusion
ON the United States senatorship, and
calling a state convention September
z6 to discuss the senatorial contest.
The republican viewpoint is that
the democratic offer to combine on
Henry Ford as the senatorial candi-
date is in effect proposal to deprive
the republicans Of seat in the Sem
ate, which normally belongs to them.
While Mr.. Ford is supposed TO be
republican In politics, the belief
among republicans in Congress is
that he would vote with the demo-
cratic administration on all party
divisions and to all party intents and
purposes would be democratic SEN
ator.
Michigan fs declared to be a re-
publican state, in a senatorial cleo
tion, and entitled to have senator
Of approved party regularity. as long
as party divisions are recognized in
this country. IT Is claimed that to
elect Mr.. Ford would be to reduce
the republican vote in the Senate by
one and increase the potential demo-
cratic vote the same.
Theodore Roosevelt is slated to at
tend the Michigan state convention,
and as Michigan was one of the
Union, it is thought here that the
colonePs advice will go far toward
directing the result of the confer
ence.
