CONCRESSMEN ARE
 BARRED FROM FRONT
 THEIR TALK CAUSE

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE, Aug. 27.-By The As sociated Press)-The British author ities, it has been learned recently re- fused their permissian for Represen- tatlVe Ernest Lundeen of Minnesota and Representative Charles H. Dillc~ Of South Dakota, to visit the British battle front. They arrived in France late in July on board a British vessel and later visited the American front It is believed they now are touring Italy.
 Their Conversation Cause
 The request that the congressman be permitted to pay a visit to the British lines is said to have been made in tbe usual manner by the American army authorities. When the declination of the British was received an investiea- tion was begun. This, it is asserted resulted in the explanation that hoth men had talked freely aboard shin in such a manner about certain subjects affecting the war that both British and American military and civilian passen- gers brought the subject of their con versations to the attention of the of. flcer commanding the troops aboard the vessel and also the ships captain.
 Are Pursuing Investigation
 The exact tenor of the. statements the congressman are alleged to have made is not known, but the military authorities are pursuing their investi. gation of the incident.
 WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.-Congress- ional friends of Representatives Charles H. Dillon. of South Dakota and Ernest Lundeen, of Minnesota ex7 pressed surprise tonight that thav should have been refused permission to visit the British front Both men however, voted against the declaration of war against Germany resolution and later against the selective service hill and other measures designed for its insistent prosecution.

DIAL LEADS PLEASE
 |NSOUTHCAROL|NA

COLUMBIA, s. C.. Aug. 27.-Returns from one fourth of the counties in the state. including about 10000 out of 325.000 votes cast in the democratic primaries today showed Nat B. Dial leading former Governor Cole L. Blease in the contest for the senatorial nomi- nation. Dial had 12,54S, and Blease 6,S55. Interest centered in the sen- atorial fight. owing to a letter from President Wilson to South Carolina newspaperman, characterizing Blease as unfriendly to the administration.
 For the short term in the senate Christie Benet, incumbent, with 6.162 votes. William H. Pollock with 7,041 and Thomas H. Peebles with 5.295 were all running so closely the sec ond primary will probably be neces- sary. Robert A. Cooper in the gu bernatorial race, had an indicated ma jority over two competitors.

 BREAD FUR ALI
 ALLIES. ORDER
Flour Restrictions In United
 States Relaxed and Allies
 Given Bread Containing More Wheat Than Before
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-UniversaI war bread for all nations arrayed against the Central powers, is. provided Tor Tn new regulations announced by tood Administrator Hoover under which wheat flour restrictions in the United States are relaxed and the all lies gwen bread containing more wheat than they have had since the early days of the war. The regulations are effective September l. Wheatless days end wheatless meals will be discon tinued then.
 Under an international bread policy formulated by the inter- allied food council in London, all bread made after September l for the allies will be made Of mixed flour containing eighty per cent wheat and twenty per cent sub stitute cereals.
 Conflicting Regulations Rescinded
 All baking regulations in conflict are rescinded, including the half and half regulation controlling flour sales to householders and that permitting bak- CTS to use only seventy per cent of their normal supply of wheat flour
 Ready mixed flour in the proportions allowed by the food administration in accordance with it's milling standards will be available for purchase by householders, although this is not com pulsory. Where pure wheat flour is purchased the regulations require re- tailers to sell twenty per cent of sub stitutes at the same time to each pur- chaser. The food administration relies on householders voluntarily to mix their bread in the same S0-20 propor- tion required of bakers.
 Regard Flour Sales
 All socalled victory" Hours may be sold without substitutes, the regula- tions provide. but at no greater price from the miller, wholesaler or retailer than in the case of standard wheat flour.
 Whole wheat or graham flour may be used without substitutes but it must contain at least 95 per cent of the wheat berry.

Almost at Peronne Gates

Tn the region around Arras the Brit lsh now are well astride the roads leading to Douai and Cambrai and further south along the Somme they nave pressed forward until they are al most at the gates of PerOnne.
 Between the Somme and the Disc the french have broken the backbone or the German resistance at Rove capturing this pivotal point to an in- Nasion eastward of the plains of Plcardy and advancing their lines north and south of the town over :, front of about 121a miles to a .1epth or more than two and one-haIf ,I:7s at certain points. North of Soisson the French, although the Germans are llgntlng them bitterly, again have ad- vanced slightly their line in the out lianking movement both against the Chemin des Danes region and the Noyon sector.

 The Canadian troops are fighting in lively fashion between the Sensee and Scarpe rivers, and to the mhave fallen numerous German-held villages and many prisoners.
 bapaume Nearly Surrounded
 Bapaume, one of the strategic points over which there has been much heavy ilgntlng, IS still held by the Germans. put the British are now so nearly around It that possibly few of the enemy remain inside the shell-torn town. The British on the west are on the outskirts of the place and doubt less It soon will be nipped out of the uattle line in the pincer movement that IS being employed against it.
 Cross Old Hindenburg Line
 In the north the British already are across the upper end of the old Him. denpurg line and if their progress con- tihues, they soon will be able to op- elate to the east of the line on un- scared ground on which tanks a.,d cavalry can be brought into the f,ay with good results.
 Behind the lines everywhere French and British airmen are harassing the Germans in retreat, but in this worK they are being met by large forces of enemy airmen who are fighting hard m an endeavor to make sure the retro grade movement of their foot soldiers.
 Americans Have Upper Hand
 On the Vesle front the Americans and Germans are in a rather bitter fight in the towns of Fismette and Bazoches- The Americans started the trouble at Bazoches and the Germans reciprocated with an attack on Fis- rlette. At last accounts the Americans had the upper hand in both places,

FRENZIED COUNTER
 ATTACKS FAIL TO
 HOLD BACK ALLIES
(By the Associated Press)

vRENZlED counter attacks by the foe have failed to
 hold back the British and French armies who are hard
 after the Germans the 75-me battle front from the north of Arras to the region of Soissons
 All along the front the German line has given way be- fore the pressure of the British and French troops at points where the falling back of the enemy the capture of towns and roads running eastward adds greatly to his already serious predicament from the standpoint of strategy
 Victorious Troops Take Many Towns
 Numerous towns, villages and hamlets have fallen on of the fighting and scarcely anywhere along the bat tie front have the Germans been able to do more than de- lay the allies when they knock for admttance to the Ger man line.
 Rear guard actions in which nnumerable machine guns are used also are serving merely to keep the allied ad vance slowed down as far possible while the main Ger bodies make their eastward in retreat toward new positions

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 27.- Belief that the clash at Nogales, Ariz., this afternoon was merely the out growth of an attempt to pass a Mexican into the United States in violation of immigration laws and that the situa- tion would be satisfactorily handled by Brigadier General Cabell, who is on his way to Nogales, was expressed late to- night at southern department head quarters.

Hundred Mexicans Killed

While the casualties on the Mexican side of the border were not known to- night, it was estimated that 100 had been killed by fire from the American side while at least twice this number including a number of civilians were wounded. It was reported tonight that the mayor of Nogales, Sonora. was killed but this was not confirmed.
 The fighting followed the alleged efforts of Mexican custom official to smuggle fellow countryman across the boundary into the United States An American sentry attempted to stop him. Two Mexicans fired at the sentry across the street, striking him in the right arm. The fire was returned bv American patrols and after Mexicans had rushed from nearby buildings and started shooting across the line from behind buildings and walls, the firing became general.
 The fighting which started at 4:O5 D. m. continued without abatement until 5:S0 when it died down except for an occasional sniping shot along the long international street.
 Shipping During Farley
 At 5i3O a white flag was displayed by the MeXicans, a barley followed but the sniping continued until after z o'clock. Bullets fell in Nogales and civilians were ordered to remain in doors and without the zone of fire. Adobe houses. because their walls can not be pierced by high power bullets were especially popular and many families spent the night in these build ings with friends.
 The mayor of Nogales, Sonora, re- ported to have been killed, was Felix Penaloza. His death has not been con- firmed although he was known to have been in the thick of the fighting. Mex lcan Consul Garza Zertuche, stationed here. stated tonight he did not believe the losses on the Mexican side of the line would be as heavy as was esti- mated by American officers.
