Lincoln, Neb., July 30.--Wlnnlng
the war was the principal issue dis-
cussed by the state convention OF Ne
braska republicans who met here to-
day to adopt platform and iSten 10
an address by Chairman viii IL. HAYS
of the republican national COMMITTEES
and other men prominent within the
party's ranks.
Chairman Hays charged that the
democratic party had said that poll
tics were adjourned and had then
proceeded ito practice the most pow
erful partisan politics ever attempted
by any political party in any period
of any place."
This is the country's war. 1t is your
war and my war. and the republicans
appeal to all patriots, whatever their
politics. to aid in every way possible
to require that partisanship be taken
out and kept out of the war manage
ment," the speaker declared.
Chairman Hays pictured the repub-
lican party as "the war party of the
nation, insisting upon the right of full
participation in the greatest of all
crisis and closed his address with
the assertion that a republican victory
next fall would mean an ever increas-
lug, vigorous prosecution Of the war.
Resolutions were adopted pledging
allegiance to the nation, favoring a
nom partisan conduct of the war, en-
dorsing equal suffrage and ratifica-
tion of the federal prohibition
amendment. and criticising the demo-
cratic national administration for fall
ing to fix reasonable price for cot
ton when it fixed price for wheat.
Mr.. Hays left tonight for Denver.

With the American Army on tie
Aisne- Marine Front. July 80 (by the
Associated Press) The tremendous
stores of German ammunition found
by the Franco American troops in the
forests of Fere and Ris leads officers
to believe that the allied offensive
nipped in the bud German plans for a
momentous drive upon Epernay.
The forests and the surrounding
country north of the Marne were yir-
tually one great arsenal for German
ammunition of all kinds. big shells
being particularly numerous. At
places on the edges of the woods there
were large shells stacked like cord
wood over large areas.
Scheme Is Fooled.
Thousands of these shells were in
tended for the German 210 milli-
meter guns, only a few of which have
been captured. The Americans as
sumo that the Germans withdrew
many of these guns and that others
intended for the great drive had not
yet arrived when the allied offensive
began.
All through the forests the Ameri-
cans came upon ammunition dumps,
at some places more than an acre of
ground being covered with shells of
all calibers. Some of the smaller
shells were labelled "For Immediate
use" Along the roads everywhere,
and even in the open places the shells
were camouflaged with limbs of trees.
Shells Are Everywhere.
From the roadways, skirting the
roadways in every patch. shells were
visible. Every clump of trees or
shrubbery sheltered shells of various
calibers. Some of the depots were de-
voted entirely to big shells and others
exclusively to projectiles of smaller
sizes, including high explosive projec-
tiles and cartridges for machine guns
and rifles. From the roadways near
the forest edges mile after mile of
case of rifle cartridges were seen
winding in and out and following tree
lines like fences,
The allies are planning systema-
tized assembly of the shells for use
later against the Germans.
