by the Galveston Dallas News as say

Let that statement stand. No such
condition could have applied between
the governor OF Texas and an honest

This was to Influence American

SUGGESTION Of WILSON REJECTED
 BY CONGRESS
Recapture Clause in Water Power Bill Amendment
 Offered Turned Down.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The house
 today rejected President Wilson's suggestion that the recapture clause of the administration water power bill be amended to eliminate the pro-
 vision for paying the net investment in the event that power projects are taken under federal, state, or municip- al control at the end of the lease per- iods.
 The recommendation of the water power committee was retained, the
 house defeating 96 to n, a proposal by representative Ferris of Oklahoma that "fari value," be substituted for "net investment" as urged by the president Representatives of power interests had asked for the retention of the net investment provision, contending that under the presidents proposal power
 promoters could not obtain capital. Immediately after the vote MT. Fer ris offered a substitute covering vir-
 tuallv the same ground, but making the provision somewhat broader. It was rejected. Chairman Sims said tonight no attempt could be made to vote again on the amendment in the house, and indications were that the measure would be passed tomor- row with the net investment retain l ed.

When British patrols appeared the town of Ecourt-St. Quentin, three men in civilian clothing emerged to meet them.
 On the strength fthe story they told British troops rushed into the town and found 46 persons, thirty of whom were women, hiding in cellars.
 They were helped out. and came back across the Battlefield strug- gling over shell cra1ers, and occasion ally menaced by hail of indirect machine gun fire from the Germans.
 It was strange and pitiful pro- cession.
 Both men and women had been un- der the domination of the Germans since Sept. 1914, they had not seen a single allied soldier since then, for this was the first time that tho ground in the locality of their vil- lage had been out of the possession of the Germans since the feginning of the war.
 There was unkempt old Frenchmen staring at the bare, shell shattered fields, and roads alive with troops. and women carrying parcels or limp ingly pushing perambulators bearing their few belongings or childrea across fields where enc O. the most furious battles of the war had been fought.
 They were almost delirious with joy as they treaded their. way to the rear between long stretcaesN6t guns, am- balances, horses and soldiers.
 The refugees said that since 1914 the food had steadily become worse

Facing Crisis in North.

While the debacle in the south seems complete, in the north the Ger mans also are facing crisis.
 Everywhere from Peronne to Ypres, Field Marshal Haig's men are keeping hard after the enemy, whose Eline daily is being bent back further eastward, giving thes British better spoints of vantage from which to work in their task of regaining as heir first objectives St. Quentin Cambrai, Lille and Armentieres.
 More Towns Taken.
 From Ypres to Lens additional towns have been recaptured and the old salient more nearly reclaimed.
 Lens, the famous coal city, is said to have been entirely evacuated by the Germans and the British are only awaiting the dissipation of the nox' ious gases and the rendering of the city safe from the possibility of the detonation of the mines in subter- ranean coal chambers to enter it.
 From Arras southward to Peronne English, Scotch, Welsh, Canadian and Australian troops everywhere are harassing the enemy, meeting his vio' lent machine gun fire with such fires istable pressure that the enemy has been virtually non-plussed and has re. tired, at some points almost precipi' tately.
 Trying to Stem Advance.
 Eastward of the Drocourt-Q -Queant line the enemy has been pushed across to the east bank of the cana Du Nord, where at last accounts ne was endeavoring to prevent by the use of innumerable machine guns g British advance over the ditch.
 To the north of Peronne over an eight mile front between Moislains and Demicourt, the British at severa points have beaten their way across the canal and Wednesday night were pressing the enemy we'll to the east ward.

TRYING TO AVERT DISASTER

The strategy of General Foch which imposed on the Germans the necessity of falling back in Flanders Ar tos and Pcardy. now likewise is compelling the enemy to withdraw from the Vese between Sossoas and Rheims. northward toward the Aisne in order to avert disaster
 Outf1anked all defensive work along the western part of the battle ine and in great danger of turning movement eastward from the regions of Novon and Sois sons the German high command at last has been forced to begin the retrograde movement in the Soissons- Rheims sector which the military experts long had pre- dcted would be necessatcd through the of the British, French and American armies

With the British Army in France Sept. 4.-By the Associated Press, LOO D. nh-BrSl troops are on the canal Du Nord virtually along it's whole length, from Peronne to the north of the Anas Cambra road and in the south at two p]aces where the canal is only about half constructed, Iauyaucour and Moslains.
 Patrols pushing forward. Along the canal to the north, however, the enemy holding the east bank, apparently in great srengh, and has been using his ma chine guns freely all day.
 Parols who have vent'med anywhere in sight have been heavily fired upon from the opposite bank.

 The Germans have destroyed all the bridges and crossings over the canal

CLIMAX OF THEIR MOVEMENTS.

The climax to the German maneuvres along the Vesle eliminated when the French virtually swept away the last remaining portion of the old salient in the region of Noyon and the French and Americans north of Sois- sons and along the Vesle reached positions dominating the Ase and the Chemn Des Danes and crossed the north side of the Vesle on front of narv twenty miles

Enemy Is Now Withdrawing From This Section With
 Allies at Their Heels.
HUNS USE MACHINE
 MUCH GUI FIRE
Foe Cannot Hold Lines Long Since Other Pressure
 Will Soon Be Exerted.

With the American Army on the Vesle Front. Sept. 4.-By The Associ- ated Press.-A German withdrawal from the 'Vesle has begun.
 Combat patrols of Americans and French are close on their heels to the west of Bazoches and eastward to a point beyond Fishes.
 It became more apparent today that the Germans had given up the strug- gle to maintain a foothold north of the Vesle.
 CONTINUE PUNISHMENT.
 American and French artillery con- tinuing their punishing fire over an area extending to the Aisne without bringing a reply taht could be com pared in intensity.
 The advanced American detach- ments were confronted with the same sort of machine gun fire that the Ger mans have used in all efforts recent ly to hold off opposing forces while making good their retreat.
 GUN NESTS TAKEN.
 But one by one the gun nests were taken by assault or forced to retire
 The withdrawal of the Germans is regarded as a direct result of the enormous pressure against their line extending north of Sossons.
 It will not be surprise, however, if secondary resistance for another brief interval will be made where the line runs hack toward Rheims.
 CAN'T HOLD VERY LONG.
 It is pointed out tht the Germans cannot afford to hold their line long since the same pressure will be ex- erted, and they cannot afford to leave salient at that point.
 By shortening and strengthening the line. with it's base on the Chemin Des Danes, the Germans will be able to release two of the four divisions for much needed support in other sec tors.
