VERY UNCERTAIN YET.

According to a report, the house committee on election recommended that Wickersham be seated as the Delegate from Alaska in place of Sulzer. The report has given Wickersham's supporters the time of their lives. As though the recommendation of the committee had set tied the question; when as matter of fact that question will not be settled until it is taken up discussed and voted upon by the entire house. Like any other question when final decision is made. However. if the recommendation has served to kindle spark of hope in the hearts of the grouchy to the extent of shortening their faces by smile. the committee should be given a vote of thanks.
 One of Wickersham's supporters was seen yesterday with a smile on his face for the first time since Sulzer was declared e;ected by the court after the last election. CandidH, We pre- fer losing any game than make a hard loser suffer. to the extent of hating everybody includ- ing himself.

Ii is not question of what We individually can afford to spend in time and money: it is a ques- tion of what the nation can afford 70 have us spend. If you command labor and materials by spending money needlessly. the government simply cannot get enough to keep the war ma chine going. There is nit productive capacity in the country for both. So which shall 1t be. ourselves our fighting forces? That is the question we forgot to ask ourselves yesterday. w;ch the result that wasted both time and money.

FOE BAFFLED
BY vAL0R OF
ALLIES MEN
Germans Blocked by De-
Tense of Entente, Make
Little Progress.

Paris, May 31-Baffled by the
valor of the allied soldiers, the
Germans yesterday failed to en-
large greatly the pocket in the
allied line. Even in the center
the enemy appears to have been
held and the advance there is
slackening
In accordance with their favor
lite maneuver the Germans appar-
emily are swinging their columns
eastward with the object of getting
around Reims through Ville-En
Tardenois and the valley of the
Ardre.
While any progress by the Ger
mans on French soil, with the in
eyitable trail of ruin and desola-
ton, strikes French hearts sorely
the answering confidence is most
remarkable. No doubt is felt as
to the outcome. and there is Nc
weakening in the resolve to fight
on to the end.
Hun Gain Due to Numbers.
The Havas correspondent at the
front, thus summarizes the situa-
ton:
The rapid advance OF the en-
envy is due to the temporary num-
erical inferiority of the allies
which has completely changed the
aspect of the struggle. 1t is neces-
sary 10 go back to the beginning
of the war for an analogous situa-
ton. This is a war of movement
where two armies maneuver under
the open sky.
Under these conditions the mo-
mentary advance OF an army and
the capture of town may mean
nothing. The problem is more vast.
For its own reasons our command
did not find it advisable to give
battle either on the Somme or in
Flanders after the March offensive.
1t confined itself to stopping the
enemy.
shall we accept battle this
time as we formerly accepted it on
the Marne?" Germans have no
illusions as to the value of the sue
cess they have gained. They know
we have several million picked
troops forming in maneuverins
uldSSEo WHICH llCy Will nave "

No Ground for Alarm.
IF the enemy had the choice o.
ground for the offensive, we have
the much more important choice of
the field of battle on which Ger
many's destinies will be decided.
1T will be seen, therefore, that
there is no ground for alarm. We
probably are witnessing the pre-
liminaries to a great battle which
both sides wish to be decisive.
Consequently. it is comprehensive
that our commanders do not act
hurriedly, but strictly in accord
ance with plans agreed upon"

ceeded by the training given at the U

line for immediate promotion to higher
commands.
A notable fact in connection with his
enlistment is that he volunteered his
services, as private, when too young
to have been drafted, and too. well
knowing that later his services as a
commissioned officer would be demand
ed, as such has now been. Moreover,
Franklin in thus volunteering, surren-
