Word comes from Will Langroise
that he is among the last who will be
demobilized at S. A. T. c., Moscow,
but he expects to get home Saturday
or Sunday. His sister Norma will ar
rive in Payette today Thursday and
Mr.. and Mrs. Langroise will meet her
there with their car.
We are informed by Col. Barnard
that the sale of farm machinery and
stock of Zeke Sweet recently was one
of the largest sales ever held in this
county, the proceeds netting above
$4,000. Mich cows brought an average
of 500; % head of yearling heifers
sold for $50 each, and young calves
averaged $50. Mr.. Sweet now has
the 25-acre tract which he reserved
for his own property. He will devote
much of his time to developing the
Liberty mine, of which he is the prin-
cipal owner, in the value of which he
has unlimited faith.

Says HARRIS STRENGTH
IS GROWING STEADILY
Statement on Senatorial Race
Is Issued by DR., L, S,
Ledbetter

Declaring that the strength of Will
liam ]. Harris, candidate for the United
States senate to succeed Thomas w.
Hardwick. is growing steadily as the
result OF President Wilson's letter of
Endorsement, DR.. L. S. Ledbetter, cam
paign manager for Mr.. Harris. issued
a statement Saturday afternoon in which
ne expressed satisfaction in the prog
ress of the campaign.
His statement follows:
THE natural result of President Will
sons recently published letter express
ing a preference for William ]. Harris
as the man who should be sent by
Georgia to the United States senate, was
to create some CONSERVATION and dis
turbance in the ranks of those to whom
the sentiments in the letter were not
altogether pleasing. Parttsans OF other
candidates naturally did not like it and
their feeble attempt at reply took the
shape of the charge that the president
was trying to dictate Georgia politics.
such a charge is, of course, I'M
founded and untrue. 1t is absurd on
the face of it, and the people of Geor-
gia have already seen from Il consider
alton of the contents of the letter ana
the manner in which it came, that there
was no thought or even suggestion OF
such dictation.

Democratic party, what he had previous

fact. he simply stated what he told
Congressman William Schley Howard
months ago and which no doubt MI
Howard readily recalls.
From the many kilograms and let
ters which have poured into Mr.. Harris
headquarters since the publication OF
the presidents letter, it is clearly APP
narent that the people of Georgia I'M
derstand exactly the presidents atti-
tude-namely, that his one desire is to
see defeated the only man who has
stood in direct and determined opposi-
ton to the administration, and In TINS
connection, upon request of party or
fetal, he pointed, as he had done BEFORE
the surest way to bring about that de-
feat.
THAT is the way the people of Geor-
gia have construed this lettr, and put
ting that construction upon II, they
are getting behind Mr.. Harris more ana
more every day, with the determined
purpose to make Senator HardWlck
defeat overwhelming. They reaIlze
that Mr.. Harris is the one man best
able to accomplish that defeat and they
are going to vote for him.

HEAVY GAS ATTACK
LAUNCHEDBY
ALONG VESLE RIVER
Big French and American Guns
Reply With Vicious Bonn
bardment Over Large Area,
Airnnen Bomb Bridges
BY FRED S. FERGUSON

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Aug. 16.-(Night)-Fight
along the vesle river today was the
liveliest in several days.
The Germans shortly after midnight
opened with a bombardment which con-
tinued for hours. They used more gas
than at any time in more than a week.
The big guns of the French and Ameri-
cans answered vigorously, Smelling enc
my positions from the heights just north
of the Vesle clear back to- the Aisne.
American airmen who bombed many
Aisne bridges effectively yesterday aft
ernoon continued their operations to-
day in an effort to complete the de-
struction of the bridges.
Traffic across the Aisne in the last
few days has been much heavier than
usual, according to observers. 1t con-
sists largely of ammunition trucks
headed south and is accepted as indi-
cation of the euemy's determination to
hold the present lines indefinitely.
German bombing planes in great num-
bers tried to drop explosives on the
French and Americans along the Vesle
early this morning, but were driven off
by anti-aircraft fire. They then slipped
around the batteries and visited the
back areas, repeatedly attacking places
where they believed troops were quar-
tered. Their aim was poor, however,
owing to the fact that it was still dark.
Many German machine gun nests on
the edge of the plateau west of Fis-
mette were destroyed by an American
barrage. Observers reported that g
machine guns were put out of commits
sion and that all of the gunners were
killed

BAKER YIELDING
ON WAR CABINET:
PRESIDENT FIRM
Wilson and Secretary Confer
on Change; Senate Deter
mined to Compel Reform

Washington, Jan. 21.-President
Wilson and Secretary Baker have
begun studying the Senate Military
Committees proposed legislation to
establish a war cabinet of three men
to assist the President in controlling
general direction of the war and to
create director of munitions.
With a preliminary. discussion of
the war cabinet proposal with Sec-
retary Baker. the President, while
withholding final Judgment, was rep
resented as not being favorably dis
posed to the plan because of the be-
lief that it might embarrass his per-
sonal direction of war activities.
Mr.. Wilson went to Secretary
Bakers office for a conference after
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, for
the Senate committee, had delivered
a copy of the war cabinet bill to
Mr.. Baker and earnestly urged it's
approval by the administration. 1t
was understood that Mr.. Hitchcock
was encouraged by the Secretary to
hope that the administration ulti-
mately may acquiesce in the general
plan.
AS it is to be introduced in the
Senate by Chairman Chamberlain,
