On Oise-Aisne Front.
Local attacks continue on the Oise-
Aisne front. Gen Mangin's men ad-
vanced their lines over thousand-yard
front to a depth of 1900 yards last
night. They have strengthened their
hold on the plateau and have reinforced
their position near Juvigny. The Ger
mans made a counter attack further
south Just west Of Chavikny. in Which
they lost prisoners.
The activity Of the artillery was re-
sumed during the evening along the
bend Of the Disc south Of Noyon. The
Germans are rescrting to an extensive
use Of gas shells in the region Of
Lassigny.
Activity behind the German lines on
the Aisne and the Avre fronts has in
creased greatly since the French sue
cesses around Roye and on the plateau
north of Soissons. In the region east
of Roye the Germans seem to be pre-
pairing for an eventual retirement.

Why It Applies to East Only.

But why should the request for con-
servation on Sunday apply only to the
region east of the Mississippi? The
answer given at the fuel administration
is that the difficulty is chiefly one of
transportation. and that with our big oil
fields in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and
California the west need not cut down
its consumption on Sunday. For when
the above figures Of conservation are
given it is not merely the saving of
gasoline that is intended, but the saving
of space on the railroads. That is why
the east has been asked to conserve on
Sundays, but the whole country is
asked to stop waste on week days.
1t is up to the patriotism and con-
science of every individual to OBJ
serve the request says the fuel ad-
ministration, and one mans example
will be followed by another. 1t is
inconvenient but thought OF oil
needed by our own Navy and the
warships of our allies. the fuel need
ed to bring food and munitions to
the troops at the front and the i'm
mense amount of gasoline required
by our fighting airplanes and bomb
ing machines, as well as the thou
sands of tanks which are to go over
the top with the infantry, makes a
sacrifice like emitting pleasure jaunts
for a few Sundays relatively insfg-
nificant and much less inconvenient
than the effects of prohibitory rules
regulating the supply to civilian
users of motor vehicles.

announced. In this city the few re-
turns available indicate that New
berry's two to one advantage gained
in the state will not be equaled here,
although most precincts thus far re-
ported give him a slight lead over
Ford.
Returns from 1919 precincts of the
state this morning showed: Newberry,
59.707; Ford, 25.144, and Osborn. 24,-
325 There are 1,09S precincts from
which complete returns have not been
received.
Incomplete and unofficial figures
show that Newberry has probably
carried seventy-eight of Michigan's
eighty-three counties, Osborn four
and Ford one county.
Two Congress Districts in Doubt.
Two of the six congressional con-
tests of the state are still in doubt,
returns from the first and thirteenth
(Detroit) districts being too meager
to indicate whether or not Represent
atfve Frank E Doremus and Charles
A. Nichols have been renominated. In
the eighth district partial returns
show Representative Joseph W. Ford
ney renominated for the tenth con-
secutive time by a majority estimated
at $500. Louis c. Cramton and GIL
bert A. Currie appear to have been
renominated in the seventh and tenth
districts respectively.
Democrats in Hot Contest.
With the result of the senatorial
fight definitely determined in the
nomination of Commander Truman K
Newberry, as republican. and Henry
Ford, as democratic candidate, intAr-
est today in Tuesdays primaries
swung to the hot fight being waged
for the democratic gubernatorial
nomination.
The slight margin held on early
returns by Edward Frensdorf of Hud-
son over John w. Bailey of Battle
Creek was wiped out when the big
Wayne county (Detroit) vote began
to come. These returns, combined
with incomplete figures from twenty
Ave other counties, gave Bailey ma
pority Of 1864. The figures were:
Bailey, $40; Frensdorf. 1856.
Incomplete returns on the repub-
lican senatorial contest from sixty
four out of eighty-three counties in
the state gave Newberry a plurality
of 1901 over Henry Ford, who was
a candidate on both tickets, and Chase
S. Osborn.

What Might Be Saved Daily.

As there are about 100000 automo-
biles east of the Mississippi river ana
$50, coo of these are trucks. IL is esti-
mated that 3,150 600 cars use an aver
age of two gallons apiece on Sundays
To save 100000 gallons of gasoline
would be quite a feat, as our daily
war needs are $4,000 gallons or about
67139oo gallons a week.
One hundred per cent compliance
first Sunday, but If succeeding Sun
days do not mean the saving OF at
least 100000 gallons OF gasoline
more drastic action than a request
will have to be taken. The fuel ad-
ministration has power to do so, Tor
it can regulate the amount of oil that
will be available TO dealers ana can
reouisition for the government the
amount NEEDED for the war. This would
mean price changes, no doubt, and
other Inconvenience, but all this can
be avoided if the public will heed the
fuel administrations request AS a
matter of fact the price of gasoline
ought to go down Win lne reoUceo
Irrespective, however. of the Sunday
saving there is much that can be done
by automobile users during the week
One official of the Fuel Administration
volunteered the opinion that if people
avoided waste during the week there
would be no need for motorless SUM-
days.
Don't for Automobile Users.
It is estimated that 100000 gallons
a day or 10,50e.0o0 gallons week
could be saved If the following don'ts
were observed by everybody
Don't spill any gasoline
Don't permit leaks.
Don't use any for washing.
Don't leave tanks or cans open.
Don't waste lubricating oil.
More than $1,000 gallons of gasoline
are lost by tank wagons daily through
carelessness. About 10S.000 gallons
are wasted at garages. Motors running
idle use about 10000 gallons. Leaky
and poorly adjusted carburetors mean a
loss of 27l,400. All this, together with
S97, 400 gallons in the needless use of
cars, makes the total of 100000 gall
Ions of daily waste. This is % per

The fuel administrators request
for a discontinuance of joy riding in
automobiles, motor boats, motor cy-
cles and pleasure vehicles on Sun
days hereafter is not an order. but an
appeal. 1t will be made mandatory,
however, II the request does not meet

kilograms of inquiry began to ar.
rive today at the fuel administrator
seeking an Interpretation of last
nights announcement. This one, from
a clergyman. is typical:
Clergyman's Question and Reply.
Hundreds Of clerrymen like my
self use automobiles to reach country
churches on Sunday. VIII you not IN
clude us in the exemption? Hope you
will do so and give wide publlcity, SO
clergy may not seem to be siackers-
The fuel administration replied as
follows:
TO conserve gasoline that stocks
NAV be accumulated to meet war
needs, the request not to use cars on
Sunday has been made. 1t is not an
order but failure of general COM
pliance would make mandatory con-
troll necessary 1t Is UP 10 lile pau
ism and conscience of each individual
In your case the amount of gasoline
you personally would use is neSligi-
BILE. but the example might be IN
correctly interpreted by others"
o. course the clergyma ms case is
covered by the terms OF the fuel
administration request which makes
it clear that motor vehicles can be
used if trains or electric lines are
not available for transportation as in
SO many rural communities.
Really Feeling Its Way.
The fuel administration is really
feeling its way in asking for re-

actually prohibiting the use of pleas

of /: series of conservation sugges-
tions which, if met satisfactorily by

that the tankships carrying oil over
