 Upon our action here" the state ment continues, depends the possibil- ity of maintaining the ration to our own fighting men and those of the allies as well as of avoiding a still further reduction of the allotment to the civil populations of the nations fighting Germany, which are already down to a point far under their normal needs"

HElNIE's DESPERATE POSITION

LONDON. July 25.-British and French troops have advanced to Gueux and Mery Premecy in the battle sec tor just west Of Rheims, according to information received this afternoon from the battle front.
 The new line shows an advance of about two miles toward Fishes. This gain when seen on the map is of evi- dena importance for it greatly narrows the salient created by the Germans Tn their drive of last May.
 It no longer is proper to spOAig of the pocket as running from. SoissOns 10 Rheims, for the newst advantage of the entente allies has pulled the east ern edge of the pocket eight miles 10 the westward, making Mery-P -Premecy the marker O. the eastern rim.
 The mouth of the pocket is now only twenty-one miles wide and the whole district between the two sides is under the range of the entente allied guns.
 The French are continuing their at tacks between the river Cured and the river Marne. They advanced last night for distance of a mile, captur- ing the southern part of Fere forest and they now occupy a farm on the main road from Fere En Tardenois to Jaulgonne The town of Fere En Tar

denois now is within 5000 yards oi the French lines.
 The French last night also pushed
 well forward along the south bank Q.
 the river Ourcq but this morning they found they were in an isouated pOsl- tion and they were compelled to fail back.
 East of Rheims, Polish contingent, attacheo to the French, made a sue cesstui enterprise and captured 213 prisoners.
 On the west side of the pocket the Francc-American troops have straight ened- out their line at the expense of the Germans during the past twenty tour hours, this involving loss to the enemy of about forty square miles of territory between Armentieres and Vincelles. The line in the lower part or the pocket now runs straight south east from Armentieres and along this line the Germans have been compelled to give up all the little angles and corners they had been holding on to as observation posts.
 The German military nerve center at Fere En Tardenois, which as the june tion of several great. roads was the most important store house and dis tributing point of the Germans, now is under cross fire of the French and American artillery and must be we'll nigh untenable. In fact, no place in the whole pocket is a very comfort abie position with the allied long range artillery sweeping back and forth.
 Possible evidence of further with drawal by the Germans is seen on the western flank of the pocket in the fact that German artillery fire has grown much lighter and the guns ap- pear to be firing from greater dis tances behind the lines as if being pulled back to places of safety.

progress of the allies in this salient Is steadily going on.
 The text Of the statement says:
 On the Orcq front the fighting to- day met with the same success as on preceding days.
 North of the river we occupy Oul- chy-La-Ville. South of the river the Franco-American troops made an ad- vance of three kilometers at certain points, despite stern resistance, not ably in the region of DOrmans.
 Southeast of Armentieres we occU- py hill number 141 and have crossed the Nanteuil stream. Further south we captured the village of COincy and the greater part of TOurnelle Wood. We. etended our progress in the for est of Fere, as far as the general line of BeauVardes-Le-Char
 Our advance continued under fay- orable conditions in the Ris forest and north of Dormans.
 South O. Rheims the enemy con tinued his violent attacks against our positions between Vrigny and St. Ed- phraise and succeeded in gaining a foothold on hill number 240 Our troops soon reconquered this height, taking about 100 prisoners.

TEUTON HORDES MAY STRIKE BACK

 Although outWitted by the strategy of General FCch and outfought by the Franeo-American commanders, there is no disposition to underestimate the danger of the staggering German arm ies striking another blow on 6.ther flank

choice of the valley of Vesle, or even the old line along the Aisne
 It is believed here probable that the crown prince will choose the Vesle region, where the forests and hills west of Rheims toward SolssOns would make him relatively safe for the mo- ment That he intends abandoning territory at the bottom of that distrICl is evident. It is equally evident that he has been forced tO such a course by the reduction of his number of lines of supply. It Is estimated that the Ger mans. had mobilized here between Q half million and 6O0,00O men. To main tam a supply tor these men, even with all transport resources, was no simple task and the working out of General Foch's plans have made the position untenable. There has been fierce battle in progress for the highways and railroad with the hope on the part of the allies, perhaps to close the mouth of the sack and smother the Germans. It is believed, however, that the Germans will be able to get out of their position with the greater part of their army.
 Although the Germans have been frightfully punished on the line north Of the Marne, the retreat to where they are now was not due to this pun ishment but was made imperative by the slowly closing Hanks rom which the big guns daily are reaching Iurth- CT toward the German munitions ar teries.

CAPTAIN HARRY B. CLARK, CAN
DIDATE FOR CONGRESS TO BE
OVER SEAS SOON.

Captain Harry B. Clark, democratic
candidate for Congress from the Third
Congressional District, will probably
be overseas when the fall campaign
is in full sway, according to The Corn
Belt Farmer, an agricultural paper Of
which CAPTAIN Clark is publisher.
The division to which he is assigned
has been ordered to New Jersey, indi-
eating that the democratic candidate
will soon be seeing real service.
This will not interfere with his can
didacy, however, as Captain Clark en-
tered the race with the understanding
that his many supporters were to look
after his campaign so as not to inter-
fere with his army work.
The current issue of The Corn Belt
Farmer had the following about Cap
tain Clark:
It seems advisable, in view OF the
addition of many new subscribers to
our list in the past few months, to go
back little and sketch briefly the
events that have brought Captain Clark
the publisher of the Corn Belt Farm
er into special prominence.
AS soon after the declaration of war
as it was possible for the Captain to
perfect an organization with which he
felt he could safely entrust the future

PEACE OFFER WORDS WITHOUT
GUARANTEES.

In his long peace address Prince
Macmillan, the new German chan
cellor, tried strenuously to convince
the world that he represents the Ger
man people instead of the Imperial
German government. But what guar
antees can he give to back up his
statements? He says that the laws
of Germany must be speedily chang
ed so that the people will govern, but
the kaiser in his peace proclamation
makes no mention of any such change.
He still talks about "his army" and
"'his navy" and attributes his peace
offer to the fact that the allies "for
months past" have stormed his lines
almost without pause" And "the col
lapse of the Macedonia front" is CIV
en- as another reason. With these rea-
sons removed what guarantee has any
one that the kaiser will not renew the
killing of babies and the burning of
cities?

EVENTS OF WEEK MOST IMPOR-
TANT SINCE WAR BEGAN.

Last week this paper said: Behind
the curtains of the coming week events
of the first magnitude are obscured
from our present view" At that time
we instinctively felt that crisis was
near at hand. 1t could not long be
delayed, and we can think of nothing
better to say in commencing this ar
ticle than to repeat our statement of
last week.
Every one knows that our enemies
asked for peace last Sunday. At this
writing President Wilson's answer to
their peace proposals has not been
made public. It is quite certain how
ever that the President will not grant
their request for an armistice at this
time Nothing short of an uncondi-
tional surrender of the German armies
can at this time put an end to the
present battles.
During the past week Foch's vast
armies have moved steadily on, driv
ing the German invaders out of
France and Belgium and capturing and
killing them by the tens of thousands.
In Palestine the British have in
creased their captures to 1900 pris-
oners and $50 guns, and French ma
val division last Monday captured Bel
rut, an important Turkish seaport.
Turkey has good reason to sue for
peace, but no greater reason than Aus
tria. The Dual Monarchy verges on
revolt and therein lies as great men
ace to the autocracy of the Central
Powers as the armies of the entente.
Before the autocrats are aware the
ships of revolution, on an ocean red
dened with floods of blood may arrive
in Berlin and Vienna. ..
Uuless the kaiser and his fawning
syncophants can end the war before
their armies are completely over
thrown they will be thrown into the
whirlpool of horrible revolution. The
half starved, defeated and disappoint-
ed Prussians will destroy every man
responsible for the commencement of
this war. (Since the foregoing was
written the Presidents answer has
been made public. 1t appears in full
on the front page): ....

of Corn Belt Farmer and thus insure
it's continued usefulness to the farm
ers of the great Middle West, he ap-
piled for admission in an officers
training camp.
Without previous military training,
beyond draft age and with everything
to gain in a business way by staying
at home, and therefore manifestly in
spired by pure patriotism and love of
his country and the freedom for which
we are fighting, the Captain entered
the service in May 1917. He was
awarded a Captains commission at
the conclusion of the special training
period and put in charge of Company
G of the 34Sth Infantry. For over a
year he has been gaining experience at
Camp Pike, Arkansas, in the train
ing of men for over seas duty.
In the meantime, here at home he
has been very signally honored by
his choice as candidate for Congress
from the third district of Iowa to run
on the Democratic ticket. His choice
was unanimous and he consented to
serve if elected, making it clear at
! the same time, however, that his en-
tire time, strength and thought are
now dedicated to the winning Of the
war, and that he would have no time
to devote to a political campaign. The
Captain was only persuaded to serve
after it was pointed out to him that
he would be servinfg his country with
equal effect at home in Congress or
abroad with the army. The trend of
events since the primary election on
June 9Th indicate clearly that the peo-
pie of the third district demand that
man of the calibre of Captain Harry
B. Clark has proved himself to be,
shall be elected and sent to Washing
ton to represent them.
Now word comes that the Captain
has received orders to move eastward,
to the Atlantic seaboard He will be
stationed at Camp Dix, New Jersey.
We can only interpret this one way
that he is to embark for France soon.
In his letter he says, 1--WE are glad
to make the move and hope to go over
with the least possible delay as we
want toake our part in the big events
that are no taking place" His letter
expresses regret over only one point:
his inability to become personally &C
quainted with his new found friends,
who are looking forward to the time
when they will put their name to the
call which will return him to serve
them in Congress.
Few men have been privileged to
serve their country as the Captain has
both at home and abroad; abroad by
active service in the army, and at
home by continuing to exert his power
and influence for the betterment OF
agriculture through Corn Belt Farm

selves reactionary The debate has gone
too far for any claim of intelligent op-
position. The four senator's merely
convict themselves of what has so re-
peatedly been charged against them,
that they belong to past period and
speak today for discredited social
and political aristocracy that looks
upon suffrage for women as it looks
upon every step of social progress, as
in some way threat at its cherished
perogatives.
AS for Senator Penrose, in some
ways the strongest man among them,
at least the most dominating, his at
titude has been an open book so long
that it is amazing republicans have
tolerated him at all. No political par
ty can hold the confidence OF the
American public that is led by Penrose
or that stands sponsor for Penrose.
Senator Lodge, a polished man of let
tiers, in some ways higher type OF
man than Penrose, has shown on more
than one occasion the most astound-
ing inability to understand what, Amer
leans are thinking about. AS for
Weeks and Wadsworth, they are the
sort of men who are good filling for
the senatorial body, useful in certain
small ways, but hopelessly in the way
when any real call is made for leader
ship.
While at first sight the delay, for 1t
amounts to no more than that, may be
charged against the southern senators
who have refused to follow the presi-
dents leadership, that is not where
the burden of blame is going to rest,
nor where it will he put, The burden
of blame is going to rest on the lead
ers of the great party OF human rights,
who both by tradition and by princi-
ple are pledged to sustain every move
ruent for essential equality, but who,
serving the little social aristocracy to
which they belong, put themselves at
this critical time squarely across the
oath of the new order. ~
II is one. of the iroaies of history that
the two conspicuous votes against
equal rights should have come from
aid Massachusetts, where in other
laws they threw the tea into the har-
Dor, where Samuel Adams spoke and
Warren fell, where Garrison edicted
and Wendell Phillips denounced One
Of the great anti-climaxes of Phillips
oratory was his picture OF Rufus
Choate OF New England's contribution
to the Jurisprudence of the world.
Il today the names of Lodge and Weeks
were substituted Cor Choate the pass
age might be adapted without losing
ANYTHING, and not unjustly to give the
sarcasm of Phillips new point, and

as to leave them standing at the post.
The party that looks like Penrose,
Lodge, Weeks and Wadsworth or that
confesses to any real alliance with
them is lost before the campaign be-
gins. There are women enough vot-
ing already in the western states to
attend to that. Nothing but blind ia
tuity could have dictated their course.
If we refuse to consider the matter
in the light of politics the republican
senators gain nothing, for on the mer-
