State Raises Wages to Meet
High Cost Of Governors
Campaign for Reelection

Joe Keller is the lad who knows how
to get the money to fill campaign
chest. He used to be on the police force
in Portland, until former Mayor Albee
began to talk about doing some inves-
tigating himself and then Joe very sud-
denly resigned. He is now state parole
officer, with headquarters at the state
pcnitentiary.
Anyway Joe is onto all the ways Of
the "north endn in Portland, where,
in the days before the arrival Of the
direct primary, elections we're often de-
eided by the one who was best able
to manipulate the habi pes of Port
lands bowery district. All the boys
then were expected to come through
with their donations for the "higher
ups" or they might find themselves
courting lot Of trouble.
SO the other day Joe, being wise in
these matters, prepared paper and
left it in a convenient place for the
boys employed at the penitentiary tc
sign up, pledging themselves to donate
to the campaign fund of Governor
Withycombc.
Not much was said, but the boys say
they quickly got the impression that il
they did not sign up they might al
well pack their duds and prepare tc
hunt for a new job. Some of the boyl
didn't like it eisher, as they are MOI
living SO very luxuriously these day
on q salary Of $50 or $40 a month.
But then it was better to pungle VI
than be without job, SO most of then
put down their names and affixed tn,

New York. May 4-The two new

morning by Field Marshal Haig indi.

ening to renew attacks simultaneous
ly against Ypres and the important
railway center of Hazebrouek, II miles
southwest of Ypres.
There is stretch of two miles be-
tween Nieppe- Meteren line in front of
Hazebrouek and the Locre- Ypres line.
where Haig locates the two artillery
actions. In this gap are the principal
hills still held by the British. From
their SUBMITS the nearest flanks of
the German forces attacking Haze
brouck and Ypres could be heavily
shelled by artillery. The advantage of
positions, therefore, rests with the al
lies.
Hindenburg's fast dwindling reserv-
es probably accounts for this break in
his attacking front, for to attempt to
take the intervening hills by direct as
sault would be too costly an enterprise.
Double cbjechves as important as
Hazebrouck and Ypres have not been
sought by Won Hindenburg as a sim
ultaneous adventure since the present
series Of eOmbats began.
The German general staff doubtless
hopes to confuse the allies by this new
movement. Hindenburg may suddenly
abandon one of the objectives and
concentrate against the other; or if he
finds the allies in heavy force along
both fronts, he may abandon beth as
saults rather than risk disastrous
check OF the two positions Hazebrouck
is much more important, for military
purposes than Ypres. If the allies must
