For many years 1t has been a ques- ton whether a senator or representa- tive In congress should represent his constituents by his votes, or vote his own convictions. A great many years ago. 1t Is said, senators especially took the ground that man should vote according to his own views and not ac- cept the dictation of his state, whether voiced by legislative resolution or by some action taken by the people at the polls. For the last quarter of a cen tury there has been more or less con troversy on the subject As a usual thing men vote according to what their constituents want. That has been the case In regard to prohibition. Let q state g0 prohibition and 1t is almost certain that it's senators will vote for any prohibition measure that comes up. On the other hand, senators rep resenting states which are wet often times vote prohibition because of the strong prohibitionist sentiment that exists in certain sections of their states.
 In regard to woman suffrage num- Der of senators have voted according to the demands of their constituents without regard to their own personal views At the same time a great many senators from nonsuffrage states ear nestly supported the suffrage amend ment. One rather interesting phase of the suffrage situation was the fact that Senator Calder of New York be- came suffragist when New York voted for suffrage, but Senator Wads- and would not be influenced by the action of his state. Senator McCum- Der of North Dakota announced that his convictions were opposed to wom- an suffrage, but as his state had voted for woman suffrage he would support the amendment. Senator Borah of Idaho was conspicuous example of a man from a suffrage state who stood staunchly in the face of great pres sure and opposed the suffrage amend ment because he believed suffrage was matter belonging to the states, although he himself believed in wom- an suffrage and had supported 1t in his own state.
 Probably it is just as we'll that there should be a cessation of politics during the period that the Lib erty loan Is going over. It is doubtful whether the people of tho United States will care to have more than two weeks of real campaigning this year. Here in Washington, oi course, politics are on tap all the time and there is great deal of interest as to whether the house will be Demo cratic or Republican rext time. ol whether the Republicans will make any particular gains in the senate. But that is not the case outside of Wash ington. This has been shown in the primary campaign where such very small percentage of the total vote has been caSt although yigorous nfforts

Naughty Mem
':LMred" Charley

St. Paul, MINI. June 12.-Presi-
dent A. c. Townley of the Nonparti-
san league, issued a statement today
declaring that Charles A. Lindbergh,
league candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor, was "lured"
to Martin county, where he was ar
rested when he attempted to speak
at a meeting Saturday.
The statement declares that Lind
bergh was promised protection" if
he spoke in Martin county and tut
tered no sedition or disloyalty"
Mr.. Townley in this assertion dis
regarded the fact that Mr.. Lindbergh
was notified by Sheriff Carver that
he could come into the county to
speak as an individual, or as can
didate for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor, but that no Town
ley league meetings would be per-
united in Martin county while the
indictment against A. C. TownIey
and Joseph Gilbert is awaiting jury
trial.
In defiance Of this, said Mr.. Allen,
the meeting was billed as a Non
partisan league rally" and Mr.. Lind
bergh appeared as the leagues can
didate.

With the British Army in France,
June 12.-This is the story OF a bat
tie royal waged in the air between
two flights Of German planes. It was
an unintentional but disastrous fight
between brother aviators during
which British pilots joyfully and i'm
partially rendered assistance first to
the one side, then to the other, until
so many of the emperor's flyers had
peen destroyed or damaged the con-
flict could not continue.
It was on June 5 that this extra
ordinary engagement occurred. and
It began thus:
Two British officers in a fighting
machine were leading q patrol along
the lines, when they sighted a Ger
man Halberstadt two scatter which,
upon their appearance. fred a green
signal light. The British leaders ex-
pected trap. and waited to see what
this unusual performance meant.
In short time six German scouts
came wheeling out of the blue and
Joined the Halberstadt. Almost at
once six other enemy scouts dived
out Of the sun onto their comrades,
whom they apparently mistook for a.
British patrol about to attack the
Halberstadt.
What had happened was this:
The Halberstadt had been acting
as a decoy. and the green light had
been meant as a signal for assist
anc@. But there had been no expec-
tation that two flights Of German
planes would respond at the same
time.
Not being able to distinguish the
markings Of their friends-and this
has happened not infrequently be-
fore-the newcomers Immediately
began a furious attack upon them.
The British leaders then guided
their patrol into this mad melee and
took hand.
The Halberstadt was shot down by
the British commanding machine.
Another British fighter in the mean
time had accounted for two more
enemy scouts, which were sent
swirling to destruction below.
All this time the German aircraft
we're continuing their bitter battle
among themselves, and several of
tlS@gl were seen to go down out Of
coWG:ol before the engagement finally
ended. The British leaders, by their
good Judgment. had led the Huns in
to their own trap.

man official statement would seem tc
pear the Interpretation that The
German high command Consider
tnat the objects of it's latest often
sive already have been attained and
now that the French are nakine
successful counter attacks, the thrust
will not be pursued further
The great question to military
critics here is whether General
Ludendorff's plans yet are fully
revealed and if the foregoing inter-
probation is correct, it would bear out
the view held by many military ex-
perts that the great stroke of the
Central Powers on the western front
is still to come.
The theory advanced by these
critics is that the big offensives of
March Fl and May 81 both develop
ed successes far SURPRISING the an
tieipation Of the German command
and were developed much further
than originally intended. l.
The opponents OF this theory
point to the fact that the Germans
still have g. large number of fresh
divisions ready to throw into the
gigantic struggle and that Austria's
power is still unused.
The opinion is advanced that Il
will not be long before the heaviest
attack yet seen will be launched by
the Germans and probably against
the British front with the object OF
reaching the channel ports.
