Kitchin's Speech GiUes
 Aid 10 the Republicans
Ny HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, June Special )-The democratic leader of the House of Repre- sentatives, MT. Kitchin of North Carolina has contributed to the possibility of re- publican successes in the elections of the coming fall, according to political observers, who openly declare this convic- ton, and other democratic leaders who make admission less publicly.
 Mir Kitchin charged on the floor of the House that 'the insidious lobby of newspaper publishers, fighting the new postal zone system regulation postal rates was responsible for the Congress remaining in session during the summer months. This charge was made immedi- ately following the address of the Presi- dent Monday in which the chief executive cited high and patriotic reasons of neces- sity for the immediate production of a revenue bill
 Mir Kitchin has always been anxious to bring about early adjournments. He was especially anxious this spring. He is essentially a politician, and was ami ocrats get abroad and make certain the election of democratic majority in the fall His charge, following the request of the President that revenue bill be drawn without delay, was tantamount to a statement that he did not agree with the President that politics is ad- journed."
 The charge of MT. Kitchin fell like a

bomb in democratic camps, and was re- ceived with satisfaction by republicans
 For in its final analysis, the. charge was 10 the effect that the President and his cabinet are dominated by san insidious lobby, and that the President was hypocritical in citing reasons of state for continuing the session through the win ter months; further, that the President, in order that newspapers might profit, from rejection of the zone system, was willing that Congress at great expense, remain indefinitely in session, and that the people be saddled at an inopportune time with new and onerous war taxation
 A member of the democratic congress sional committee, one of those charged with bearing the democratic standard against the republicans the coming fall said yesterday: MT. Kitchin would be a wonderfully astute leader of the party if the destination of the party was the
 limbo of perpetual oblivion. Neverthe- less, we will carry the elections and possess the House. as result, by an in creased majority.
 This gentleman declared that he knew not that the newspapers maintained a lobby in Washington, or whether the lobby, if it existed, was insidious or amiable; but that he did know that the President was not dominated by this alleged or any other organization, and that he was sincere when he said, Foh- tics is adjourned !

sIGNALED TO SURRENDER

I Lieutenant Campbell tried to signal l the German to surrender and descend on French soil but the latter apparent | ly decided to take a chance of getting home. The American got on the tail of the German, forcing him down, but all the time the enemy was getting nearer home. Lieutenant Campbell again sig naled without success and then when
 the choice came of permitting the Ger man to escape or shooting him down he cut loose with his gun and poured a deadly stream of incendiary bullets into the German machine which cAlshed to the earth inside our lines.
 Our first all-American ace said:
 T did not like the idea of shooting him down when he was not fighting
 but I could not let him get away
 Lieutenant Campbell downed his first German airplane on April 15 inside the American lines For this achievement he was decorated with the French war cross. His second enemy airplane was brought down on May 21 and his third and fourth victories were achieved in the 10 days up to Friday.

It was Lieutenant Campbell who shot down the German bi-plane near Pont-A Mousson today. It was his fifth victory to be confirmed officially.
 It is probable that another ace will be announced shortly. and the aviator to win the honor probably will be Lieut.. Edward Rickenbacher of Colum r. bus, O., the former automobile racer. Official confirmation of the victory re- ported gained by Rickenbacher Thurs

1 when aware of stone-wall defense. Twill stop short, entrench themselves, and again strike.
 Such a bloody process, it is admitted, can't endure forever. The time will come when Foch will strike, and, sup ported by a valiant and numerically strong American army, begin the grad. ual drive which will put the allies in Berlin. Despite the indication of a prolonged struggle, Washington never the1ess, is serenSe to the infinite de- gree. Various causes have contributed to the mental content of Washington and of the nation--for Washington, in time of war, is the nervous system of the nation.
 KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
 The main contributing factor, natur- iaIly, is knowledge that on previous drives Germany has been checked. The people have been made to believe that Germany, in blood, has paid for ter ritory a cost fearfully in excess of its value. The people have been made to believe that Foch is a pre-eminent strategist, and that with Haig and Pershing. he cannot be beaten.
 Another contributing cause is the re- cent revelation of the war department to the effect that Pershing's army is half a million strong. an army which strains against the ropes holding it back, an army inspired with love of battle and i-- resistible gallantry. This revelation mas been supported by statement of the House committee on military affairs that the nation is preparing an army of 3,00D- 900 men for use within year, and for ultimate purposes, an army of 5.0o0000 men and more; that for the use of tho army, guns of all descriptions are being manufactured in adequate quantities.: that aeroplane production is at last pro gressing favorably, and that in support of Americans at the front are battle planes in excess of 300
 "OUR BOYS" :" GALLANTRY
 To the content of the nation and the satisfaction that all twill be we'll" American troops in the field have sig- nally contributed. From verified reports of their gallantry emanating from Gen. eral Pershing, supported by unsolicited, spontaneous expressions of admiration on the part of French and British com manders, the people of Washington, and unquesticnably of the nation. are per- haps warranted in their belief that no finer fighting force has ever been afield. If any degree of alarm was felt when the Germans took Fismes and then forced themselves across the Aisne, that alarm was instantly dissipated when the Americans revealed the sun behind the clouds. when they broke from their trenches and dashed, madly singing and shouting in irresistible waves against Cantigny-when they captured that town and he'd it against repeated attacks to dislodge them
 As result of it all Washington goes about it's own preparation for war with out fear lest Germany upset the calcd- lation. There was never confidence more supreme. It is so boundless that within itself it is alarming.

A Remarable Change From Feeling of Uncertainty and Alarm Exhibited
 Last Month
LOOK UPON DRIVE
 AS THE FINAL KICK
 OF DYING CARCASS
Supreme Confidence in Foch Haig and Pershing and Their Control of Situ-
 ation in France
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, June 1.-(Spe- cial. l-During the German drive of March-April, Wash ington, reflecting the senti- 1nent of the nation of which 1t IS the nerve-center, trembled, not in fear but anxiety, like an aspen leaf in the wind.
 Washington, in remarkable con- trast, contemplates the present drive of ferocity and deadly import at least equal to that which immediately pre- ceded, with a dispassionate calm which might accurately be diagnosed as unwarranted optimism. if not dis dane or indifference.
 CHANGE IS ASTOUNDING
 A month ago Washington, through the mouths of staid army officers speeulated on the direst possibilities the severance of the French and Eng fish armies, to be followed by the ean- itulation of the former. and the turn Ing of the latter into the sea It re- garded as practically certain that the Germans would take Amens, and even prepared the country for the possible evacuation of the channel ports It spoke of disasters which would follow the breaking of railroad lines running into Paris, and thought it necessary to inform the people that even in the wake of such disaster, ultimate yic- tory was certain.
 And now, at each German gain,
 Washington in effect says: "Oh,
 well, that means nothing Foch ~ill
 hold them. He will turn the tide
 at the psychological moment. He
 knows what he's about. This is the
 last Wiggle of the Teuton worm.

 REVERSEs CAN'T DISTURB
 The capture csf Fi-.nes by the Ger mans interfered with Paris railroad connections This was vies, ed without alarm The capture of Soissons made still more serious railroad inter- ference. But no comment was forth coming. -
 There is absolutely no sentiment of alarm in Washin gton. Never wa. n nations capital more confident. not only of ultimate but comparatiyeIy immediate results
 Judging from the fact that previous drlNes have been checked with ad vantage to the allied arms there seems to be reason for this spirit of super confidence. It is still nevertheless a wonderful phenomenon-this complete change, from unhappy anxiety to ST. preme optimism. wrought in the space of a month

We should think it strange If a
bank or business institution of any
sort were to go on from year to year
without keeping an account of re-
ceipts and expenses. Yet it is as
much the place Of an individual to
know what he produces and expends
as it is of any corporation. The
time to form the habit of accounting
is in childhood.
The local school people ask the
parents of Ashland to help the chill

think will best promote the habit of
thrift in their homes and to assist
the children in keeping these from
month to month. This is not a re-

transactions that from day to day
he may know just what he is doing
