MIR SMITHS BUSY TYPE

4 correspondent writing to The In
telligencer from Wellsburg reveals the
interesting fact that Marshal c. E.
Smiths typewriter has been firing its
shrapnel into Brooke county. 1t ap-
pears that ! number Of voters. some
o. them Republicans. and some OF
Them. at least. who have no memory
Of. having met Mr.. Smith, have re-
ccired the trusting epistles, in which
Mr.. Smith assures them that he has
hunted, fished, eaten and drunk with
Colonel Watson. and Colonel Watson
is therefore the only person who ought
to be considered for the United States
Senate. It seems that Marshal Smiths
typewriter has been very industrious
indeed.
Under ordinary conditions The In
telligencer would find no fault with
Marshal Smiths earnest efforts to ad-
vance the senatorial ambitions Of his
patron. Mr.. Smiths owes the fat Job
he holds to the fact that Colonel Wat
son wanted particularly to own and
control the United States marshal's
office: and Nj. Smith is doubtless
10th grateful for the past and hopeful
OF future favors. AT time, however,
when politics is supposed to be ;ad'
journed, when patriotic men and
women everywhere are neglecdne

this region than is necessary 70 keep
the northern German armies moving.
But south Of Douai and Cambria the
situation is very different. Here the
deep German salient OF which Laon is
the apex is being steadily narrowed

back more rapidly he might have n
chance to hold g line cutting south from
Salcuc!cnncs through lie Catcau TO
Guisc on the upper Disc, connecting by
way Of that river with La Fcrc and
Laon. 1t would not have been an ideal
defensive front. but If II held II would
have saved the ST. Gobain hastion and
the formidable positions about Laon.
Now shat line is out Of the question.
