WEARING SMILES
OVER OUTLOOK

Chairman Beach Says He Is
Entirely Satisfied With
the Campaign
NOW Un.
(From a Staff Correspondent

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 2O.-(Se tcial.)
The Don't Worry" sign is oc-
cupying a prominent place in fe-
publican headquarters these days
= and Chairman Ed Beach, Secretary
Nels Hansen and the rest of the
bunch are happy. This is caused by
information from all parts of the
state that Nebraska is coming back
into its own.
"Dee-lighted," was the way Mr..
Beach expressed himself today
when asked how he liked the con-
dition OF things politically.
Mr.. Beach had returned from a
trip to Omaha where he met the
county committee there. He is
immensely pleased with the way in
which republicans are working for
the entire ticket in Douglas county.
Real Live Bunch.
"They are a live bunch" said the
chairman as he lit fresh cigar and
after giving>it long pull. watched
the circles as they drifted toward
the ceiling. Never saw things
looking better in Douglas county. 1t
looks like an entire republican leg
islative representation this session,
and as for congress, Jeff is going
to win hands down. Norris is 60
ing to run big and the whole ticket
will get mighty good majorities,
which, added to the majorities sure
to come in from out in the state,
means that Nebraska will get back
to its o.d time place as one of the
reliable republican states of the
middle west"
Mr.. Beach continued. Changes
have been coming fast in the past
week. While things have been look
ing good before. the past week has
brought changes which simply
means nothing less than victory
for the full republican ticket in Nov
.mber. The only thing to work for
is to get the republicans in the
state to turn out and vote. Over
confluence lost elections in the
past and we do not want to lose
this one after having it won.
THE influenza epidemic has dis
arranged our plans somewhat"
said the chairman, but as far as
that is concerned, the plans of our
friends, the political enemy, have
also been rather uncertain. On &C
count of the ban on public gather
;,oe nv The endemic hip meetings
were called off in Lincoln and other
places where Congressman Kahn
OF California had been billed and
only one address on date at
Beatrice made on short notice. could
be delivered. 81
However, this week and next we
will be able to bring some of these
speakers into the state and will use
them in olaclities where the ban
has not been placed on public speak
ing by prevalence of influenza"

 More than 100000 Americans, intensively trained and fully accoutred, are available for im- mediate use in stemming the tide of the German hordes, and large numbers of them, on railroad trains and in motor trucks and even afoot, al- ready are on their way to the battle front.
 The miserable weather over the country is proving no deterrent to the Americans as they push forward from all directions toward the bat tie zone.

KING IF ENGLAND
 VISITS A|RDOME IN
 AMERICAN SECTOR

LONDON, March 3i.-Reuter' cor respondent at British headquarters in France, describing King Georges visit to the front says:
 "In the course of an inspection the king visited the airdome, he inspected an American section, the members of which he congratulated upon their fine and smart appearance, praise which was well justified. for likelier looking set of lads never yet swore to drive the Huns out of the air.
 "The king spent a crowded fifty hours in France, moving about freely among troops who had taken part in the first onrush of the German of fensiye."
 "The kings visit was not in accord ance with a settled plan because he did not desire in any. way to interfere with the smooth working of the great flow of military movement now in progress, but merely in an informal manner to congratulate his troops and cheer and synlpathize with the wound ed. Although his majesty kept a uni formly cheerful air in talking to the wounded. he clearly was affected and once in a low voice to one of his suite. said:
 "'This brings home the meaning of the offensive indeed
 "The deeply human side of the king came out in his solicitude and compass sion for the wounded. Moving quietly among the stretchers bearing huddled figures of men grooming and gasping, his majesty often paused to speak a kindly word. Everywhere in the course , of his inspections the king had words of sincere admiration and encourage ment. He was cheered lustily wher- ever he appeared"

 LONDON, March 31.-The Ger mans were quiescent north of the Somme on Sunday, their attacks not being renewed against the British front, Field Marshal Haig reports from headquarters this evening. There was considerable fighting, however, south of the Somme. The text of the report reads:
 North of the Somme the enemy did not renew his attacks today. Some heavy hostile smelling, how ever, has taken place on different parts of this front. We secured a few prisoners and machine guns in local fighting.
 South Of the Somme a hostile attack developed in considerable force about midday south of the main Peronne- Amiens road. Fight ing IS continuing in and between the valleys of the Luce and the Avre, where possession of tactical features, woods and villages, is at present being contested"
 That the Germans on Sunday not only failed to make gains against the British troops in France, but lost ground four miles east Of Arras and suffered heavy casualties in fruitless attacks is announced in the statement issued by the war office which also says:
 South of the Somme yesterday by successful counter attacks we regained possession of Demuin. In brilliant operations yesterday by the Canadian cavalry and British infantry in conjunction with the French, we captured Moreui and the wood to the north of that place."
 The British have restored their line south of somme in the Luce Valley, after a vigorous counter attack. Strong attacks by the Germans on the front from Mar eel Cave to the Somme were re- pulsed with heavy losses to the enemy.
 North of the Somme the Ger mans attacking with four waves of infantry were beaten back at all points.
 In the neiehborhood of Serre (north of the Somme, seven miles from above Albert), the British advanced their line, taking 230 prisoners and forty machine guns.
 South of the Somme our line in the Luce Valley was restored yesterday, after a vigorously exc cuted counter attack. Two strong attacks made by the enemy in the course of the day against our front from Marcel Cave to the Somme were repuIsed in each case with heavy loss to his troops.
 Early yesterday afternoon a successful local operation was carried out by us in the neigh borhood of Serre. Our line in this locality was advanced short dis tance and 230 prisoners and forty machine guns were captured by us.
 Our line also was carried for ward slightly on other parts of the battle front, and prisoners were taken

Facts Are Given

Tt is equally as incorrect as the all legation that Germany had threatened to sink two ships which were to sail from Holland with Americas approval and that Germany had made increasing threats to prevent both the observance of such a preliminary arrangement and ,the conclusion of a permanent one. The real facts of the case are:
 After the (American) war trade board had insisted that Dutch ships in American ports make trips pending a definite arrangement the Netherlands government proposed that some of the ships should make voyages for the commission for relief in Belgium, which Holland has always fostered sedulously for the benefit of distressed Belgium and northern France. When informa- tion was received that Germany ob- Jected to Americas demand that a Dutch ship sail from Holland each time in exchange for a relief ship sail ing from America, the Netherlands government deemed it a duty imposed by good faith to inform the American authorities thereof immediately, so that ship which was then on the way toward Argentine could be given a diff ferent destination. The direct conse- quence was that those ships were kept moving, which was exactly in con sonance with the provisional agree ment.

IN FUTILE FLOOD
 GERMANS POUR
 AGA|NSTFRENCH
Great Masses of Huns Are
 Thrown Back Near Lass igny By Using Bayonets and With Hand Grenades
Republican A. P. Leased WIrel

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Saturday, March 30. (By the Associated Press)-A great flood of German infantry flowed against the French lines today between Moreuil and Lassigny. It was purely battle of foot soldiers. Heavy masses of Ger mans were hurled against the French time after time, only to be cast back again by counter attacks.
 This was especially the case around Lassingy. the town which formed the limit of the German line before their retreat in March of last year. The battle line fluctuated several times in the course of the day, both sides dis playing the greatest obstinacy. The French and Germans met often in hand to hand fighting in the villages of Or villers, Fremont and Plessier de Rove. where bayonets and hand grenades did deadly work.
 The British and French in retiring at the first rush when the battle start ed ten days ago destroyed roads and small bridges. This prevented the bringing up of powerful German wea- pons and also put an obstacle in the way of the bringing forward of sup plies.
 The ground before the French lines is covered thickly with German dead.
 The opinion is general that the bat tie will be a long one, perhaps keeping up for months. with a series of pauses between the various phases. Battle All Night The battle continued last night with undiminished violence, the war office announced this afternoon. Germf Il battalions renewing the attack with out cessation, were mown down by the French fire.

Losses Stop Huns

So great have been the losses of the Germans in front of the British north of the Somme that Sunday saw them unwilling again to take up the gauge of battle. Along the Scarpe the British themselves went on the offensive and to the east of Arras captured the village of Feuchy. On the southern end of the line, the British and French troops. fighting together, have met the enemy in furious combats, but everywhere de- feated him with sanguinary losses.
 In the bend of the line between Moreuil and Lassigny the Germans made frantic efforts to break through but the French held them Tn their tracks and in addition captured sev- eral villages.
 Not alone has von Hin0enburg lost numbers of men killed and wounded, but both the, French and British armies have taken a considerable number of new prisoners and also. captured machine guns. At last ac- counts the Germans had launched a fresh attack to the region between the rivers Luce and Avre and fierce fighting was in progress.
 Another Dinner Date Broken
 The reports from both the British and French war office seemingly in dicate that the allied troops have reached the limits of their retrograde movement. In any event they have cancelled the engagement Field Marshal von Hindenburg made with himself to take dinner in Paris on All Fools day.
 Maneuvers in the Italian theater still seem to indicate the near ap- proach of hostilities of a major char acter. The British troops are now holding a portion of the Asiago plateau sector.
 The town of MoreuiI mentioned in the foregoing resume of tine day and also in the Paris and Berlin dis patches is evidently meant for Mare uil. The latter is a small place neas Lassigny in connection with which and with Noyon, it is mentioned in all the dispatches. Moreuil is a dit ferent place situated 20 miles north- west of Lassigny and near Mezieres whose capture as well as that of Moreuil, by the Germans, was de- scribed in the dispatches of last Friday. Moreuil is IS miles south east of Amiens. This confusion Of the names of the two towns has prevailed throughout all descriptions of the fighting.
