Elliott's Position

Representative Elliott has informed the Sixth
district that he will not return to the district to
assure his denomination on the Republican tick
et He says matters Of vital Importance are en-
crossing the attention of Congress and that he
believes he ought to devote his whole time to his
duties.
He has taken the correct stand on the ques-

during perilous days his constituents want him at
his post. The Republicans of the district will
look after his interests They will both nominate

Dollars or Bushels
by Roger w. Babson.

by Roger w. BaDSOn.
Secretary Houston, of the Department OF
Agriculture, has called my attention to how we all
are foong ourselves today. The newspapers are
Boosting that the crop is the greatest in his
tory, when in bushels it is less than in 1915. The
South think they are rolling in wealth, when in
bales it's cotton crop is less than in 1915. Paper
prices are no good. It's more bushels and bales
that need in order to reduce the cost Of living.
Some people pretend that our national debt is
small by comparing it to the crops. What is
$2O,O0O,0 100000" they say, why, that is less
than the value of one single crop of the farms of
America This is true; but we eat up most of
these crops in year, while the debt remains with
us-S20O for every man, woman, and child in the
United States.
AS the farmers are fooling themselves by
thinking of prices and dollars instead of bushels
and bales so industry is fooling itself by looking
to profits and wages instead Of production and
saving.
The ending of this and our future pros
perity after the war depends upon producing
more and wasting less. Only in this way can

mile front northwest of Chateau Therry yesterday and
last night were holding their gains this morning in the
face of determined German counter attacks
With the aid Of French infantry the American marines
and machine gunners consolidating their positions
all along the new front.
In the region of Lucy-LeCocage, (fve miles west Of
Chateau Therry American position was being badly

leaped from the nes attacked the enemy position killed
the entire crew and captured the gun.
Part of the advance yesterday was made across a

wheat then rising up and half crawling half walking in
to the face of the fierce machine gun fire
The advance greatly improved the marines position
opening the way through wood on a hill which had
given the enemy the dominating position Now the Ger
mans are pushed completely off the HILL The marines
took up positions the farther side having full sweep
with their machine guns across an open field.
Most of the prisoners who Prussians said they
thought the British were opposite them They said they
to have attacked again today They had not had any
ratons for five days Other German prisoners said the
Prussans got what little food there was.
The general morale of the Germans in this region is the
lowest.
Prisoners said that three divisions $4,000 men, had
been used UP trying to push back the marines They in
cluded the Jaegers, who are crack rifle men.

H|NDENbURC FEELS
EFFECT OF YANKEE
TROOPS IN BATTLE
Concentrates Heavy Forces at
Metz Facing. Principal
American Sector
By J. w. T. Mason
United Press war expert)

United Press war experD
New York, June 7.-Von linden
burg has begun to show serious un-
easiness at the effective part American
units are playing in the fighting along
the western front. Evidence of his dis
quiet appears in the new concentration
of Teutonic forces along the American
Lorraine sector.
The purpose Of the persistent arriv-
al of enemy troops at Metzjs primari-
| ly to threaten General Pershing into
withholding more Americans from the
Marne, Aisne and Picardy fronts. The
Germans well know that the Lorraine
border with its proximity to the Rhine
| is the principal American sector in
France. Won Hindenburg also is aware
that all indications suggest this area
will be the scene Of Americas ulti-
mate major offensive.
Won Hindenburg, therefore, is now
threatening to attack in Lorraine, hop
ing the Americans may be unable to
protect their own positions and at the
same time participate fruitfully at the
other end of France in the defense OF
Paris and the channel ports. The Am
orleans now have had an unbroken
series of successes along the western
front. AT Cantigny, along the Marne
and north of Chateau-Thierry they
have wen every objective.
The record, of course, is small. The
German general staff, however, is
highly experienced in making large
deductions from small but consistent
facts.
Full military and psychological study
unquestionably has been given at Ger
man headquarters fo the elan and mo-
rale Of the American troops fresh to
modern battle conditions Won linden
burg does not like the situation they
are creating in western France. The
result is the Lorraine threat. The Am
eriean positions are very strong and
Won Hindenburg has had no encourage
ment to believe he can break through.
There is undeniable temptation, how
ever, to the Germans 20 try to move
the Lorraine front farther away from
the German boundary. Were Won Hin
denburg to succeed he would increase
the distance Americas own offensive
must go before it reached the Rhine
Faced by that condition, it is even
possible General Foch might no long
er use Americans in western France
but would reserve them entirely fol
future drive to the Rhine.
But this tantalizing will-o '-the.wisI
holds forth the danger that an offens
i've against the Americans in Lorraine
might well be hurled back with terri
