Rumor has it that the daily newspaper
combine of Seattle has picked Oily Hanson
for mayor and will turn their dogs of war
loose to drive off all other candidates. Oily
Hanson has done nothing since he has lived
in Seattle to commend him to the voters for
the mayorality, except to sell wildcat real
estate and make fortune for himself out
Of unfortunate investors. Oily Hanson is
an absolute false alarm and, in our opinion,
would rattle around in the mayors office
like mustard seed in tin can. But
Should Hanson and Gill be the nominees we
would support Hanson at that. We are
still hoping that the daily press will see the
folly Of supporting political demagogue
like Oily Hanson and instead, line up behind
Claude G. Ramsay or some other equally
good man and he will be nominated and
elected, hands down.
All CT the members of the law firm of
Gill, lIoyt & Frye have been suspended from

would have named him More Trouble in

break through at either point by the
allies would spell disaster to the en-
envy. In Flanders the German STRAIT
egg seems to be the obliteration of
points vulnerable TO sharp assaults.
Particularly is this noticeable along
the Lys river south OF Ypres, where
the Germans are reported to have re-
moved all their artillery to the east
sids of the river, and little TO the
north around Wytschaete where the
British have advanced their line nearly
mile and apparently with slight OPP
position.
The concentration of artillery of all
calibers, including machines and large
bodies of men in the region of Sois-
sons, where every nook and Granny of
the rolling country contains hordes of
defenders, proves the importance the
enemy places IN holding this terri
tory, while nothing is being left I'M
done in the region around Rheims to
strengthen in gun and man-power the
German line against the assaults the
Germans apparently realize are soon
to come.
No Breathing Spell.
After virtually two months OF hard
fighting in which from Arras to the
Maine the Germans everywhere have
been worsted, General Foch has given
no outward indication that he is to
permit the Germans breathing spell,
The greater portion OF the German de-
fensive system in the battle zone al
ready has been demolished, or is in
the process OF demolition or OF being
made untenabie. Less than 80 miles OF
the old Hindenburg line remain in

Cambria TO La Fere, and the British
and French are virtually upon il at
