By Carter ield

WASHINGTON, March IA move
ment against a third term for Whit
man has broken out strongly among
some OF the upstate Republican mem
oers IN the New York Congressional
delegation. This is based members OF
the delegation assured me. not on anv
opposition to Governor Whitman per-
sonal.y, but to the fear that he could
not be reelected if nominated aug
menvcd slightly by disinclnation to
take any step which might seem to
bind the Empire State Republican
party to Whitman's chariot wheels for
the 1920 Presidential nomination.
Some of the members of the delera-
'lon and their friends from the West
efn part OF the state have started
qulet boom for Repre- sentative Stephen
Wallace Dempsey, of Lockport. whose
district includes Niagara Falls and a
part of Buffalo. Mr.. Dempsey himsele
takes his boom prosaicAlly, his com
ment beng that doubtless those who
would rather some one else than Whit
man make the race this year are firt-
ing with number of candidates.
MI. Dempsey dictated the following
statement:
81 am not in any way seeking the
domination for Governor am great
ly interested in my Congress ional work
and am a candidate for denomination
and reelection to the House Of Repre-
Sentatives.
II imagine the suggestion that ] be

from those who arc fearful Of the ef-
feet Of a third term candidacy as en-
dangcrlng the prospects of the Repub-
llcan party for victory in the coming
gubernatorial election. Thev no doubt
are making the same suggestions to
other prominent Republicans through

The Significance of this lies in the
belief of those who are opposed to
a denomination for Governor Whitman
that the Governor has alienated the
farmers upstate-thc men who roll up
the Republican majorites with which

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, March 1.--Amercan
troops rcpulsed a strong German at
tack this morning in the salient
north of Toul There were many
American casualties, one of Tho
killed being a captain who was grad
uated from West Point in 1917. The
raid was a complete failure, three
German prisoners remaining in
American hands. The ground in,
front of the American trenches was
strewn with German dead. !
A driving wet snow was falling
this morning, whea the Germans
opened fire on the American salient
with every weapon at their COM
mand. Scventy-sevens, heavy shells
and gas shells fell in a perfect whirl-
wind en- our trenches for half an
hour. AT the same time other enemy
shells in great numbers were drop
ping on the American battery no

New-York tribune., 1918-03-02
Men Don Gas Masks;
Wait for the Attack

The Germans, evidently thinking
that the Americans in this section,
having had one taste of gas Il few
days ago, would fear it now. let
loose great quantities of poisonous
gas, but the men put On their masks
and only few were affected by it.
So intense was the fire that the
woods back of the salient were shot
10 pieces.
At 6 o'clock the barrage fire lifted
on the trenches to the right of the
salient and Germans numbering 24O
came sweeping forward under the
protection OF their fire. They came
apparently intending to make q big
haul and jumped into what was left
of The trenches, but there, instead
of the easy time anticipated, found
the Americans all ready for battle.
Fierce hand-to-hand fighting began.
One American captain rallied his
men with rifles and machine guns
and went through the American
wire entanglements into No Mans
Land and there waited for the
enemy, whom he expected to be
driven out by his comrades in the
trenches.
He was right, for soon groups of
the enemy started back through the
wire entanglements. The Americans
poured in deadly fire, but unfortu-
nately the captain was killed during
the fight. He is the first member of
the 1917 class at West Point TO be
killed.
