the British advanced their line over a front exceeding 1000 yards.
 These maneuvers on the part of the Germans seemingly indicate that they either considered their ground insecure in the face of the heavy forces Gen eral Haig is known to have in both regions to ward off any attempt to reach the channel ports, or that Crown Prince Rupprecht's army has been ma terially decreased in strength to rush endorsements to the battle zones where the German armies in the south are being sorely harassed.
 FLANKS GIVE WAY
 Already having penetrated the Pi- cardy salient to a depth of nearly 13 miles in the center toward the vicinity of the important railroad junction of Chaulnes, and at other points along, the arc pushed forward between five and seven miles, the northern and southern Hanks of the battle front, where the Germans had been resisting desperately, gave way before the pres sure respectively of the British and French
 On the north the British captured Morlancourt and pressed on eastward while on the south, northwest of Mont dldler, Pierrepont, Centoire and Ar vlllers were taken by the French, who drove in their wedge to a distance of more than eight and half miles.

Dr. John 5. GiHespy
Candidate for Representative of Jefferson County in the legislature, subject to the ac- ton of the Democratic Primary.

He would stand first and foremost for every means nec- essary to win the war as speed fly as possible.
 He is in favor of submitting the proposed amendment to the national constitution to direct vote of the people of Alabama. In the event of failure to get the question submitted to the voters, he would vote for the amendment.
 He would cooperate with the executive in every reason- able means to reduce the ex- penses of the state to it's in- come. He believes that the present board of equalization has served it's day of usefulness and has become a liability in- stead of an asset to the state. He would, therefore. favor it being materially changed or abolished.
 He favors the present prohi- bition statute in Alabama and would not materially change it stronger and more effective. tT'aid Political Advertisement by I

Jackson received many assur- ances of support
 MT. Jackson spoke last night to a gathering in front of the municipal building at East Lake. In the opinion of those who have heard him speak elsewhere, he was in his best form and his clear, dispassionate arraignment of Huddleston's record in Congress and his reading of the Presidents tele- gram had telling effect
 From East Lake MT. Jackson went to Woodlawn, where another gathering in front of the municipal hall had as- sembled to hear City Commissions Hornady, the Rev. Middleton s. Barn we'll and George Bondurant, pending his arrival All these speakers made an excellent impression. and Mir Jack son capped their efforts with a brief forcefu1 speech.

1t was thirty-two years ago last
January that the first bill TO make the
Grand CANYON a national park was
introduced in the Senate by the late
ex-President Benjamin Harrison, then
a Senator from Indiana. Since then
the proposal have been presented TO
Congress from time to time.
at appears that there never has
been valid objection advanced
against it," declares Secretary Lane,
in a statement favoring the project.
"Nor can such an objection be urged
because The Grand Canyon belongs to
the Federal Government and any at
tempt to thwart a change in its status,
which would distinctly rebound to It's
advantage, must be by some priva.e
interest.
Private resources have accomplished
limited development. Thousands Of
tourists visit the Canyon annually, but
due to te lack of roads, trails and
side-trip destinations the throngs have
little opportunity to enjoy in full
measure the marvellous grandeur Of
the reSion.
Less than 400 of the 100000 acres
that the proposed legislation would
place in the park are now in private
ownership, these being held in SIN II
