Washington, March 2S. = Partisan feeling fared up in the senate again today when Senator Williams of Mis- sissippi, democrat, renewed his attaci upon Representative Lenroot, republi- can candidate for the senate in Wis consin, whom he charged yesterday
 with being lukewarm in loyalty to the government in the war. The MissiSsip- pi senator declared Senator La Toilette

 that former Representative Victor Berger, the socialist candidate for sen. ator, ought to be interned.
 During the debate which followed and continued intermittently most of the day, republican senators defended MT. Lenroot, while Senators Reed of Missouri, Ashurst of Arizona and Owec of Oklahoma, democrats, deplored par tisan division at such a time.
 Senator Smoot of Utah, republican, !,
 who attacked President Wilson yester- day for alleged partisanship, read a
 letter stating that Joseph E. Davies, democratic candidate in Wisconsin, had skipped to Chicago" when con-
 ference was called to consider with
 drawal of himself or Mir Lenroot to Ensure a loyalty victory.

vance of the Germans, the btatle has become more or less stabilized in. the past two days. The French are push ing northward in order to keep in close touch with the British who have been forced back by overwhelming numbers. French troops have relieved part of the British line.
 Counter Attacks Are Certain.
 Nothing as yet has been allowed to develop regarding the intention of the allied commanders but it is certain that at an opportune moment they will make counter stroke. The general idea of the battle as far as it has gone shows that the Germans chose to make their principal attack against the Brit lsh front, At the same time they made demonstration just where the two armies, French and British, join. The Germans succeeded in making a breach in the British line which, the French forces closed, first sending cavalry to fill the gap. The Germans had carefully perpared for this of fensive. whole divisions and army corps rehearsing the parts they were to play when the moment came. Just before the assault, the, British lines were deluged with shells for a short period and with projectiles charged 1 with noxious gases. Then came thick waves of infantry, closely following one another. The first waves or what remained of them, reached their ob- I jectives and held on until further l waves came along and cleaned up the 1 islets of British, who were holding out with ot-,tinacy using for that pul-
 pose jets of liquid flame.

 the world and l wish to lay down a few principles that we Americans
 might follow
 What we read has happened on the other side during the past seven days
