WISCONSIN
SENATORIAL
CONTEST CLOSE
Lenroot Has Slight Lead Over
Thompson-Davies, Demo-
crat, Named; Socialists Poll
Large Vote.
(By the Associated Press)
IIENROOT LEADS,

AfIN ltSOJl IIEA1o.
Milwaukee, March 2O.-Reports
from all but seven counties in the
state up to 1880 o'clock today gave
Lenroot, loyalist republican, lead
of 2,488 over Thompson. With some
counties complete and most of the
vote reported in others Lenroot has
61, ,663 and Thompson 59,175.
Milwaukee, March 20.-Outstand-
ing features of yesterdays loyalty
primary were a fivefold increase in
the socialist vote, the overwhelming
victory of Joseph E. Davies for the
democratic senatorial nomination,
and the close race between Irvine L..
Lenroot, the loyalist candidate, and
Joseph Thompson, who carried the
banner of the La Toilette republicans
in the senatorial race of that party.
Lenroot supporters maintained
that what advantage there was on
returns up to II o'clock rested with
Lenroot. With fourteen counties
missing, scattered reports from 81
gave Linroot 56,696 and Thompson
54,763. The missing counties and
precincts are SO situated that COM
plete returns are impossible, although
it appeared that Lenroot's home dis
trict, which is always slow to report,
would give hip majority sufficient
to overcome that of Thompson in the
city and county of Milwaukee. 1t
may be days before the deciding votes
are in from the back woods. .
In Milwaukee, Berger cut heavily
into Thompson's vote and polled
practically. as many as. Lenroot and
Thompson together. The Milwaukee
vote on fairly complete returns was,
Berger 5,496, Thompson 9,917, Len
root 6,181.
1t was generally conceded that it
was only the heavy socialist vote
which prevented the nomination of
Thompson by an unmistakable mar
gin.
In the state legislature the social
list members ordinarily vote with the
LaFollette faction and stood solidly
with LaFollette against the recently
drawn resolutions censoring him.
In Milwaukee the socialist vote for
municipal officers and aldermen in
the non-partisan primary was even
more impressive. Mayor Hoan, So
cialist, received the highest number
of votes of any four candidates, esti-
mated closely at 2O,823. Under the
partisan primary system the two
receiving the highest vote become
candidates at the regular election.
The socialists also nominated men
for all city offices and for six or seven
aldermen at large.
Returns from scattered precincts
up to noon with IA counties still
missing, narrowed Lenroot's lead ,ac-
cording to computing by the Mil
waukee Journal. 1t showed Lenroot
6O,643; Thompson 6O,109; Berger
33,799.
OF the missing counties all but
Waushara and Marquette were
claimed as normally favorable to
Lenroot by the Lenroot leaders. Five

Gas Boche Trenches.

American artillery on the Toul
front has heavily attacked the Ger
mans with gas shells during the last
day or so, 1t is permissa BILE to an
nounce. Four different attacks were
launched and from the manner in
which the enemy was silenced, it was
evident that they had the desired ef-
feet. ......-.......-.
During one period when. the gas
shells were flying over the enemy
lines last night a German airplane
with red tail light appeared over
the American trenches and dropped
a red rocket, for what purpose is not
known. However, shrapnel from
American anti-aircraft batteries
burst so near the German immedi-
ately afterward that he was forced
to fly for his own lines.
Last night the enemy observation
tower and positions on Mont Sec
were shelled heavily and heavy fire
was directed against enemy lines to-
day.
At noon today the enemy opened
a lively fire on one of the American
positions with a 81 milimeter gun
from the cemetery at Richecourt.
The American guns of the same cal
ibre came into action and after they
had fired SO shells the Germans ran
from the positions and took their
guns with them. The American guns
then shelled the village of Lahay-
vile where two heavy explosions. ap-
parently of munitions stores were
caused:
The German artillery directed
most of its attention to dropping a
few gas shells into two towns within
the American lines and shelling a
cross road known as Deaths Corner.
Last night an American patrol en-
tered the German front line at two
points but did not see single enemy
soldier altho they hunted some time.
Another patrol remained in enemy
wire entanglements all night hoping
to ambush an expected enemy party
but it did not appear. A third pa
troll party was discovered by Ger
mans who hurled hand grenades and
forced Americans to withdraw. Still
another established contact with an
enemy patrol and few shots were
exchanged. @
The Americans came thru unscath-
ed but it is unknown what happened
within the enemy lines.
Many airplanes were up until it
began to rain at noon. One airplane
from the rear of the American line
drove off Boche machines after a
thrilling battle in and out of the
clouds. Another airplane was en-
gagged against German when Sec
ond German Joined in the fight.
A second friendly airman came up
to assist but it was too late for the
airplane the Americans hoped would
be victorious fell to the ground with

On the sector east of Luneville the
artillery continues active and few
American patrols have reached the
enemy lines. One party encountered
an enemy patrol and forced the Ger
mans to withdraw after sharp skir-
mish.

Enemy Quickly Disappeared.

An official of railway which passes
through Philadelphia, l am told, was in
the habit of expressing his war sent-
ments without restraint to his private
secretary, Girard writes in the Phila-
delphia Ledger. These sentiments were
derogatory to the allies and favorable
TO Germany. One day at the end of a
particularly vehement TRADE the sec
rotary said: II trust, sir. that what
you have said does not represent your
real feelings on the subject" 81 mean
every word of It," said his employer. 1t
was just after fire had taken place
in nearby city and the responsibility
had been laid at the doors Of German
hirellngs whose enterprise the railway
man extolled. '"Then l shall be obliged
to arrest you," said the secretary,
throwing open his coat and showing
the badge of a secret service agent.

to be In a place where what he may
have to say In praise of kultur will

TAKES PLACE OF GASOLINE
Mixture Of Alcohol and Benzol Has
Been Found to Be Satlsfac-
tory Substitute.

The high cost of gasoline Is becom-l
4ng such problem that governments
and scientists all over the world have
attempted to find substitute. In Ger
many, where gasoline is almost unob-
tainable, it is understood that a new
mixture of alcohol and benzol has
proved satisfactory. A writer in the
Scientific American gives the following
table as an indication Of the results
achieved:
With one part benzol and one part
alcohol touring car equipped with an
ordinary carburetor made AZ miles an
hour and ran distance of 4.66 miles
upon one pint Of the fuel. With one
part benzol and two parts alcohol the
speed was al miles and the distance
covered 4.47 miles. This shaded down
to 36 miles an hour and 3,72 miles on
a mixture Of one part benzol and five
parts alcohol.
The same car, operated with pure
benzol acquired a speed of AZ miles an
hour and ran a distance of $40 upon
one pint of fuel. With pure gasoline
IL iHdue III niles an nour, running o.oU
miles.
Alcohol Is easily obtainable, and ben
zol in large quantities is now being dis
titled in both the United States and
Germany from coal tar. So the mix
ture, as worked out by the Germans,
can be had cheaper than gasoline, and
the results are almost as good. In the
case Of Germany. the discovery has
been boon of inestimable value.

Sweetbreads are rather tasteless, so
need highly seasoned sauce and
touch of garlic or onion.
