but Il h the most encouraging word

What It means beyond an else Is
that tho first phase Of the German

that Gen. Foch. assured OF the secur-
ity, of his main front. has been able
to launch counter thrust designed
to relieve the one imperiled position

The railroad leading south from

cept In 30 far as 1t may well serve to
complete the check Of the German
offensive, the results obtained during
the first days fighting may lie reason
ably compared with those reported by
the Germans after the first days
fighting south Of the Aisne in their
great attack on May "a.
$4,000 Prisoners reported.
The allies advanced at all points to
an average depth Of a little less than
three miles. They captured. according
to unofficial reports, $4,000 prisoners
and 100 cannon. The number OF men
involved Is mot known. The Germans,
with 3z6, 900 troops engaged. broke
through the allied line north OF the
AisDe on May 81 and advanced littie
more than three miles to the Aisne.
They captured $1,000 prisoners, &C
corafng to their own figures. Berlin
did not report the captures Of cannon
in its statement ON the nrst days
Although It Is probable the allies
did not face such strong positions as
those held by tho French along the
Chemin des DANES. the actual results
favorabIy with the German effort on
May 81, when the Germans were not
called upon simultaneously to face q
major offensive against another Sec
tor Of the line not many miles away.
There is q note of conservatism evi-
dent in the language Of the French
official statement and in the COM
ment Of the Partisan press on the
newest phase Of the struggle. It fs

SENATOR VARDAMAN OPPOSES

The following letter frim Senate,
Vardaman and published in the Rip.
ley Sentinel Of last week shows that
lthe Senator is still of an opposing
frame of mind:
Washington, D. c., Sept. 16. 1918
Hon. A. c. Anderson,
Ripley, Miss.
My Dear Anderson:
| have been very much pestered
for the last week on account of the
Presidents interference with the
cotton market. The people of the
south ought to protest against this
unwarranted interference.
The fall in the price of cotton last
Saturday amounted to about one
hundred and twenty-five millions of
dollars upon the entire crop, and !
submit that the farmers of the south
can not stand that with any degree
of comfort. They planted for a large
crop, and the indications are that
they will make the smallest for years.
The President has no more authori-
ty to fix the price of cotton than he
has to limit the amount of air that
the citizens shall breathe. The people
should rise en- masse and protest
against it. The farmers have given
their boys to die in the trenches of
France, they have bought Liberty
Bonds, War Savings Stamps and con-
tributed to the various war funds,
many of them have notes maturing
now for bonds bought six months
age, and if the cotton continues to
faAl, as everything indicates it will If
the President insists upon further
tampering with the question, how will
thew be able to meet thees payments?
They just cannot do it, that is all.
The executive pays very little at
tention to Congress but l think II
the people should rise en- masse and
demand of him that justice be done
to them he might pay some attention
to them.

done my best to protect their inter-

emphatic terms against the Presi-

there is no law authorizing anybody
to fix the price of cotton.

RUNNING CARS ON SUNDAY.

The Sentinel has been requested
by the County Fuel Administrator
to say that it lis a we'll known fact
that there were a number of auto
mobiles being run about Grenada
Sunday, too many for all of them
to have been a necessity, and he asks
that the people observe the request
of the National Fuel Administrator
and not let it have to be said that it
was necessary to get the proper au-
thorities of the city and of the coun-
ty to force some people not to burn
gasoline on Sundays. The Sentinel
thoroughly endorses the sentiment of
the County Fuel Administrator.
