GERMANS MAYBOLS ARREST!
TRY TO END THE MANY FRENCH
LONG RETREATIAN BRITISH
REPORTS THAT THEY ARE IN
NEW POSITIONS TAKEN AS IN
DICATION THAT THEY ARE TO
MAKE LAST DESPERATE STAND

London, Sept. 9.-The statement in
the German communique that I'VE are
everywhere in our new positions, is
interpreted here as implying that
Ludendorff is of the belief that the
German retirement is now ended ami
that it is his intention to try and make
a stand on the present line.
It is reported from Paris that the
German artillery today was thunder
ing along the whole battlefront as it
has not done for several weeks. and
the general indications are that the
German counter attacks and ether ac-
tivity confirm General Ludendorff's
supposed intention.
No belief. however, is expressed
here but that the allies are still hold
ing the initiative and will compel the
enemy to continue his retirement. 1t
is pointed out that although the Ger
mans are still holding the Messines
ridge, forming the northern bulwark
of their line. the French seem to be
steadily maneuvering them from be-
fore the Laon-la-Fere positions and St.
Gobain forest. which form the south
ern buttress of the Hindenburg line
and there is no indication of any ces-
sation Of this pressure.

Washington, D. C. Sept. 9.-Sen. Dun

against the woman suffrage amend
ment, he announced today, because he
believes it is a matter for the States
to deal with.
Sen. Park Trammell announced a
similar intention and ascribed the same
reason in a statement issued some
weeks ago.
SEN Fletcher gives six reasons for
his determination to vote in the Senate
against suffrage as follows:
1. If and when woman suffrage is
desired. it may be obtained through
the states.
3 The suffrage amendment proposes
q most impraeticable way of obtaining
votes for women, because 1t involves
dangerous preeedents, federal control
of elections. race problems, and the
necessity for conducting campaigns
for ratification.
8. The proposal to enfranchise p
amendment. thereby adding to the
strength of the federal control of state
elections, does not commend itself to
his Judgment.
4. He is unwilling to have States
outside the South vote upon States in
the South laws to complicate the
Southern problem which the Northern
states do not understand.
5. The 18th amendment was a mis-
take and is so recognized, and re-
peating it VIII not remedy it,
