G, O, P, LEADERS
MEET TONIGHT

The stimulation of registration OF
Republican voters will be the primary
purpose Of the Republican patriotic
organization meeting to be held
Wednesday evening in the court room
of the court house at o'clock.
Republican county candidates, town
ship candidates, precinct committee
men, State Chairman Wasmuth. State
Secretary L. w. Henley, District
Chairman Walter Bossert Congress-
man r. N. Elliott and other party
workers will be present.
The first general meeting has been
delayed and it will be more necessary
to start work promptly. More district
meetings will be held this year and
fewer county meetings.
The registration will naturally be
less this year than usual, on account
of the number of men abroad. How
ever, through the efforts Of the War
Mothers and a commission appointed
by the governor and the cooperation
Of the political parties every man
that is in service from this country
will probably be registered and will
have a chance to vote. There are
1924 men from Wayne county in the
service. In 1912, 12,60S voters regis
tered. The enumeration in 1913
showed that there were 1870 voters
in Wayne county. The registration
for 1914 was 1000, and for 1916, 49,
SIT. At the present time 4,224 voters
have registered at the court house.

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 14-While
Tuesdays Berlin newspapers regard
the Anglo French main thrust as par
ried and at all events stopped by the
exhaustion Of the attacking troops,
the Journals in the Rhine country dis
cuss the situation in a much graver
tone.
"Foch and Haig will probably con-
tinue attacking in the Somme, but
they will never achieve more than
pyrrhic victories which will assist In
the attrition of their own forces"
says Baron Won der Osten, the mill
tary critic of the Rheinische West
falische Zeitung," Of Essen.
Elsewhere the newspapers deem it
necessary editorially to brace up the
nerves of the people of the Rhenish
provinces which seem to be badly
shaken. The Cologne Nolkszeitung
appears to interpret popular appre-
tensions when 1t speaks of another
impending ruthless Anglo-French at

EXPERIENCE AND
SKILL REQUIRED
TO Make GAINS
Germans Contest Every Inch
of Ground Taken by Allies
Progress Made Slowly.
(By Associated Pross)

PARIS, Aug. 14.-In comparison
with the quick advance of the first
four days. the battle in Picardy now
may seem to be stagnant, but never
theless the French have pushed near
er to the Chaulnes-Roye-Las
yon line to which the Germans are
clinging desperately. 1t took the al
lies fortnight to get the Germans
from the Marne to the Vesle.
The ground between the Avre and
the Disc is much more difficult than
north of the Marne, being a labyrinth
of small wooded hills in and out of
which the troops have to worm them
selves, surrounding and reducing each
submit successfully. 1t is no easy
task because the enemy laid out his
positions long ago so he is able to de-
fend them with groups of picked ma
chine gunners who have orders
which they invariably obey to the let
ter-to resist until killed. Consequent
ly, every inch of ground requires not
only great determination in overcom-
ing, but experienced skill.
Tuesdays fighting put the French
more than mile north of Cambronne,
close to Attiche and Carmoy Farms,
WHICH are TWO DlS machine gun ueSLS
The French left advancing on Las
signy met with vigorous resistance,
north Of ST Claude farm and north
of Mareuil "Lamotte." However.
they succeeded in fighting their way
through the woods and moved their
line 800 yards northeast of Curry.
North of Curry they reached the south
ern edge Of Loges wood and also pen
etrated the park belonging to the
Chateau OF Plessier De Roye. They
also reached Belval, between Plessier
De Roye and Thiescourt.
The enemy still holds the greater
part of Thiescourt wood and the for
midable plateau of Plemont.
The French now have advanced
their line to within less than a mile
and half of Lassigny. 1t will. how
ever, undoubtedly, require a tremend-
Gus effort to capture either Lassigny
or Roye. The fall of Roye would au-
tomatically cause the evacuation OF
Lassigny.

German Papers Attempt to
Combat Prevalent "Defeatism"

Germany follows the terrible strug-
gle with bated breath. In the next
column ii inveighs against defea tism
which is rearing it's head in Cologne.
Dusseldorf and elsewhere, even in
Essen, where the people may be
heard grumbling: Another defeat for
us-we shall lose the war. We have
nothing to eat, no clothes, no shoes;
we shall starve and be utterly
ruined"
AS cure for this state of mind the
Volkszeitung administers an antidote
in the shape of a raging article about
the enemy wanting to murder, rob
and enslave German men, women and
children"
The Weser Zeitung of Bremen, with
ill-concealed pessimism, regretfully
admits in Tuesdays issue that the
once derided American army is giving
much more trouble than was antici-
pated, while the Frankfort Gazette
pathetically pleads with the official
press bureau to tell the whole truth
las far as possible"

Illinois Cuardsmen Fighting
North of Somme - Addi-
tional u. S. Armies to be
Organized in France.
81 DIVISIONS OVERSEAS
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The 131st
infantry of the 33rd United States di-
vision composed of Illinois National
Guardsmen has been engaged in the
fighting north Of the Somme and par
ucularly in the repulse Of an enemy
counter attack at Chipilly, General
March said today at his semi-weekly
conference with newspaper correspon-
dents. This regiment alone captured
three officers, $50 men and seven 105
millimeter guns.
General March briefly reviewed the
situation in the Picardy salient where
the lines have now reached the gen
eral position of the front in 1916 be-
fore the Hindenburg withdrawal. At
no point is the enemy now within so
miles Of Paris.
The Picardy salient has been trim
med away on a front of SO miles to a
maximum depth of Is miles, the chief
OF staff said. and the line on the Aisne-
Marne front has remained stationery.
American troops have recaptured Fis-
mette on the north bank Of the Vesle
from which they were driven.
400 Hit in Four Hours.
Discussing the work OF the 2Sth di-
vision, comprising Pennsylvania
guardsmen In the Aisne-Marne salient,
General March said the only reports
on It's casualties received was that four
hundred men had been hit during four
hours on July 80. In the advance to
the VeSle.
General Pershings announcement
OF the formation Of the first field ar
my shows it was organized on Aug
To- ~; 10, nrn1
March disclosed that there were ap-
proximately 81 American divisions in
France. and the field army included
approximately 1.250.000 men. The
organization Of additional corps and
subsequently of additional armies will
proceed without delay, he added, and
eventually General Pershing will take
command OF all the armies leaving
command OF each to a general officer
whom he may select.
Don't Call EN- "Sammies"
Genaral March was asked as to the
truth of reports that the American
forces north of the Marne lacked ade-
quate air service. General Pershing's
dispatches make no mention of any
such conditions, he replied, and added
that a specific report as to the opera
tions Of airplancs in action and the
conditions in that regard had been
asked of the American commander,
the substance of which will be made
public when received.
The chief Of staff took occasion to
frown upon the name Sammy" for
American troops. No American sol
diers in France approves the use Of
that name, he said, nor do eitEer the
French or British understand why big.
strong men like the Americans should
be tagged with such a nickname. The
British soldiers call the American COM
rades "Yanks."
General March said no American
soldier had landed in Siberia as yet
He did not have available figures on
the total embarkation for France
