that the whole German resist
1 ance at critical points shows
signs of cracking, and am Informed
from Paris that there is a very gen
era belief in that city that the Hin
denburg line will be in Allied hands by
October /. This is obviously extreme
optimism, but it finds an interesting con-
frmation in the message Ciemenceau has
just addressed to the General Councils of
France. The German is still fighting
bravely and with skill and determina-
tion but the hopeful and significant
thing is that despite his colossal efforts
he is being defeated heavily and contin-
uously.
The British offensive south of Arras,
which developed last week and is still
going forward unchecked, has now eX-
tended to the scene of the Battle Of
Arras of April 8, 1917, and is the most
considerable and important movement
the frank statement in the German otf-
cial statement of Saturday that Luden-
dorff had accepted battle before Ba-
paume and in front Of the old linden
burg line. Having accepted battle, prob
ably because he was unable to make q
successful retreat, he has been beaten
and driven straight across the old bat
tleheld of the Somme in an engagement
which will hereafter be Of utmost inter
est to all students of the campaign Of
1916.
AS it now stands the Germans occupy
great bulge from Croslles to the edge
of Coucy-le Chateau, q bulge which at
points is twenty miles deep between the
present front and the Hindenburg line.
But at the two eXtrenities the success
full pushes Of Byng and Mangin have al
most reached that line itself. Moreover,
in the long stretch between these two
points the German lines have been shat
tered and the German retreat is being
harried and hustled at the cost Of much
material and many prisoners.
1t is essential to recognize. further,
that while the Allied blows have hitherto
been limited to the front between Rheims
and Arras, and more recently to the sec
tors between Arras and Scissors, there
is every probability that in due course of
time we shall see blows by Uaig's two
armies, those of Horne and Plurner
north of Arras, and not impro badly by
the Americans between Rheims and Sois-
sons and by Gouraud's army east of
Rheims. The latest extension of Byng's
attack north of the Scarpe is a plain
hint of this. And if such blows should
win any considerable success the Germans
would be automatically turned out of
the Hindenburg line and compelled to re-
tire upon the line of the Meuse, that is.
to the Franco Belgian frontier
Ludendorf's situation is not yet des-
perate, but it is becoming exceedingly
perilous. He has been unable or unwill-
ing to initiate Hindenburg's method and
make swift retreat to the line on which
the old marshal stood from March, 1917.
to the spring of this year. He has in
stead fingered and procrastinated as Ma
poleon did in Eastern Germany in Tho
early summer of 1918, hoping for a vic
tory, expecting turn of the tide and
thus moving ineuctably toward Leipsic
which was the ruin of his empire and the
doom of his European supremacy.

get along with"
At that point the following exchange
occurred:
THE CHAlRMAN--Thcy have hard
time getting along with each other?
GENERAL KENLY-Yes, sir, they think
their view is right They are regular
prima donnas.
Asked for his opinion as to what
should be done, and especially as to the
creation of separate department of
aeronautics, General Kenly REPLIED:
81 believe, sir, it would be very wise
thing to do. think The biggest
thing in aviation that has oeen done has
been the point of view taken by Great
Britain"
This was the appointment of an addi-
tional Cabinet officer representing the
air service. Specifically asked what, in
his opinion, has been wrong with our
system, General Kenly testified further.
81 think it has been a matter of proper
organization and proper direction of that
organization by the military head of avja-
ton"
1t is very easy to demand the impos-
sible, and our national characteristic is
impatience. 1t is very evident that a
considerable part of the criticisms or
our aircraft production has been sim
ply and in many cases wildlv hvs+or

formance General Kenly's testimony js

A GOOD DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.

Editor Every Evening:-In your issue
of yesterday noticed An editorial headed
GLOW merit may win," which read very
much like an Endorsement of MIR. Cole,
the Republican nominee for the Office of
recorder of deeds.
The writer enjoys the personal ac-
quaintance of Mr.. Cole who is no doubt
very congenial and courteous young
man, but | am at loss to understand
why a Democratic paper should give
Endorsement to Mr. Cole for the office
he seeks SINCE the Democratic candidate
for the same Office is a man who merits
the support of every Democrat and in
dependent voter in New Castle county.
J. Frank Mccoy Of the Wilmington Furni-
turc Co, the Democratic candidate for
recorder of deeds, is lifelong resident
Of New Castle county, a memDer OF n
highly respected family and a man who
rs purlc official will be governed by
the sincere belief that "a public office Is a
public trust
Political boSsism had nothing to do
with his nomination and will have nothing
to do with his conduct of the Office should
he be successful at the polls in Novem-
bcr.
have frequently heard Republicans
who care nothing for party prefcrmcnt
and Independent voters remark that
some changes in our county offices are
necessary To all persons holding such
convictions submit for careful considera-
tion the name of ] Frank Mccoy. n
man for whom any citizen can vote with
confidence and pride to which am sure
all who ENJOY an intimate acquaintance
with hlni Will attest.
If the voters Of New Castle county
elect MIN 10 the office Of recorder Of deeds
they can feel confident of q healthful
change in 81 least this ono office at the

A moment to permit the sale OF horse

PACKARD EMPLOYS WOMEN.
They Are Being Found Useful in the
- Automobile Business.

The employment of women in their re-
pair shop is being seriously considered by
the Packard agency for their local needs.
They already have young women in
their store room, who likes the work and
has developed much aptitude on the
job. Manager Bixby said this morning
that If the drain on the "man-power" of
the repair line continues, he will have TO
take on at least half dozen This is
merely following in the wake of the
Philadelphia branch of the Packard
Company, which already has quite
force at work. Here they have proved to
