In spite of the Germans endeavor
to check their advance, the Belgians,
the British and French continued
their sweeping march from Tournai
to the Dutch frontier Official re-
ports show that they have reached
points within ten miles of Ghent,
The Belgians are along the Deyse-
Ecloo canal, which runs northward
from the Lys river. Farther south,
they have crossed the river at vari-
Gus points. Along the Lys, the Brit
iSh have moved swiftly toward the
Scheldt river and are at Pecq on
the west bank of the river.
In this sector of the battle line,
the allies are moving toward the
southeast, and it seems they will be
able to reach Client with their main
forces in a very short time. The
Germans have flooded some of the
country. but this has failed to inter
fere with the progress OF the ar
mics commanded by King Albert.
British and American troops are
fighting their way ahead along a
ten-mie front east of lie Cateau.
During the past day they have ad-
vanced a mile on this line and appear
to have reached a point from which
they seriously threaten the railroad
running through Avesnes and Ber-
Lamont. This road is the principal
avenue OF communication between
the German armies north and south
Of the wedge being driven into their
lines by the allies. If cut or if it is
taken under artillery fire, the enemy
will be seriously embarrassed IN
keeping the two wings OF his army
in touch with each other.
The bad weather that has pre-
vailed in France during the past
few DAYS has not checked the ad-
vance of the French along the Oise
and Serre rivers, where successes
are reported. On the southern side
of the Lys salient, the French have
cut a deep notch into the German
lines by reaching the heights to the
west of Grand Lup.
Through the Champagne sector
there has been no change in the
line but Just west of the Argonne
forest, the French have moved ahead
once more. They have reached the
outskirts OF the village OF Terron-sur
Aisne, north OF Nouzieres.
The village OF lie Chesne, an i'm
portant highway center, is on
railroad which runs through Buzan-
cv behind the front where the Ger
mans are striving to stop the Amer
lean drive on the line from the Ar
gonne to the Meuse. If lie Chere
had been occupied by the French,
the event would be almost certain to
bring about a German withdrawal
east of the forest
American forces are apparently
meeting with desperate resistance all
along the front west of the Meuse.
This front is so important to the
enemy that he is making a great eff
fort to hold it firmly. He apparently
has succeeded for the time being at
least in holding up the Americans.

The Man Behind the "War
Cabinet" Bill

CENATOR GEORGE E. CHAMBER
~ LAIN, who, as chairman Of the Sen
ate Military Committee, is leading the
fight for tho creation of war cabinet,
was the first Senator to be elected from
Oregon under the direct primary law.
That was ir 1908, while he was serving
his second term rs Governor of Oregon.
A writer in "The Saturday Evening Post"
seized the occasion to sharpen facetious
pencil and make the Governor the subject
of "Who's Who-and Why" sketch. He
wrote, in part:
away back in 1876 genial young per-
son blew into Oregon and announced himself
as George Earle Chamberlain, born in Mis-
sissippi, educated in Virginia, retaining no
hard feelings about the late unpleasantness,
but, naturally, a Democrat, and there to
grow up with the country. That was the
sowing Of the seed.
Things grow quickly in Oregon, and
George had taken root and sprouted before
he had been there q month. In four years
he was so far toward bud and blossom that
they sent him to the Legislature, which is
going some for Mississippi man who hoped
across the Rockies and landed in the rose
powered streets of Portland, with nothing
particularly him but happy smile, q
beaming eye, warm and clin,ing handclasp
and tendency to get along. To get along.
Yes; that was the idea.
"Our hero was born at Natchez, at Natchez
on the Mississip', and, being born thus, with
such an equipment, means one of two things:
Stay in Mississippi and go to Congress or
leave Mississippi and go to Congress. Our
national legislature is speckled with men
who have done one or the other. Whereupon
Eov1o lot g
Congress to sit in the Senate with Clarke,
of Arkansas; Money, McLaurin, Bailey and
Gore, all born in Mississippi"
And he has sat in the Senate ever since.

War Cabinet Nor will the advocacy of
all three by Colonel Roosevelt help, but he
is regarded by many here as probably
hindering them. No one knows better than
Mr.. Roosevelt that the President, who has
the confidence of the people, has the whip
hand over Congress, especially in an cleo
ton year, when he chooses to appeal di-
rectly to the people, as President Wilson
has done in this case.
The War Cabinet bill introduced by Sen
ator Chamberlain is regarded as an ex-
ceedingly drastic measure, giving, as it
does to the new Cabinet, powers of con-
troll over all the other departments and
agencies of the government, the only modi-
ficatlon of it's powers being the clause that
its orders shall be subject to review by the
President. The Committee on Naval Af-
fairs at once protested against reference
of the bill to the Committee on Military
Affairs claiming that the navy was equal

MAJOR GRAYsoN M. P. MURPHY,

his work as Red Cross commissioner in

Chamberlain and Wilson

CURRENT opinion on the Hill is to the
~ effect that both the Senator and the
President spake unadvisedly with their
lips. The Senator's remark that there was
lneHicicncy in every department and bu
leau OF the government, which was cor
rectly reported, as he informed the Pres
ldent, upon inquiry he later explained as
referring only to the War Department.
But this he considered far too sweeping
Il charge and made it almost necessary for
the President to defend his Secretary of
War.
Yet it is pointed out that the President
went too far in inferring that the Sena-
tors statement "sprang out of opposition
to the Administrations whole policy rath-
er than out of any serious intention to re-
form its practice" Senator Chamberlain
has been, admittedly, a tower of strength
to the Administration in his position as
chairman of the Committee on Military

John Lind Will Represent
the Public

IN THE advisory council recently
formed by Secretary Wilson to assist
in carrying out the war labor programme
the public is to be represented by John
Lind, former Governor of Minnesota. and
chairman of the council Like Senator
Knute Nelson, whose political rival Mr..
Lind has been ever since he went over to
the Democratic party, he is of Scandi-
navian birth and parentage. He was born
in the parish of Kama, Sweden, in 1854.
When he was thirteen he came with his
father to the United States and settled
at Goodhue, MINI. He attended the pub
lie schools, and at eighteen was teaching
school himself. He studied law, first
alone and then at the University of Min
nesota, and was admitted to the bar in
1876 and began practice at New Uln1,
Minn., in 1877. In 1881 Mr.. Lind was
appointed by President Garfield receiver
of the United States Land Office at
Tracy, Mimi. Five years later he was
elected Representative to Congress and
was reelected in 1888 and 1890.

woman's committee Of the Council of Ma
tional Defence, and former president of
the international Glovemakers' Union.
1t was in 1909 that Miss Nestor first
won recognition as champion of her
sex. She was a mere struggling glove
maker at that time, but she engineered a
bill through the Illinois Legislature limit
ing the hours of women factory workers
to ten day. Two years later she was
sent down from Chicago to Springfield by
the unions to lobby for "Bill 44O2," other
wise known as "The Girls Bill" which
provided the same protection to girls in
mercantile establishments, to telegraph
and telephone operators and so forth.
For thirteen long weeks she was at the
Capitol, never missing one legislative day.
"lt won't pass" was the inward admis-
sion of its supporters and the open, jubi-
liant comment of it's enemies. But because
she was keen enough to guard against
the political trick of amending a bill so
that its original friends will defeat it. it
did pass. And legislators said that no
cleverer, more skilful lobbyist, man or
woman, than Agnes Nestor ever came
down to the Capitol Of Illinois.

one of the most uncompromising British
statesmen on the question of Home Rule
for Ireland, press dispatches agree. The
events leading to his resignation are
summed up as follows:
For years Sir Edward has opposed the
setting up of an Irish Parliament, and prior
to tho outbreak of the present war, when
the Irish question was at its height, he even
went to the extent of organizing and train
ing the Ulster Volunteers for civil war
against the British government if Home Rule
for Ireland which would embrace the coun-
ties of Ulster were inaugurated.

entered the war Sir Edward presided over

At the opening of the Spanish war Mr.
Lind became quartermaster of the 18th
Minnesota Volunteer Infantry, with the
rank of first lieutenant, serving in this
capacity until the regiment was mustered
out. In 1896 he was a nominee for Gov
ernor of Minnesota, but was defeated. In
1898 he was elected and in 1900 defeated
again. After this he took up his resi-
dence in Minneapolis and turned again to
his law practice, which he interrupted
two years later to serve again as Repre-
sentative. The next interruption came
in 1913 when he went to Mexico as Presi-
dent Wilson's envoy and personal repre-
sentative.
