The republican county convention

the shortest on record and indicating
lack of serious differences in the
party.
The was none to start any rumpus,
because there was nothing to start a

F. S. Howell, chairman of the coun-

keynote of the gathering in a few
well-chosen words, which brought
hearty cheers at the conclusion. Mr..
Howell spoke as follows:
Republicans, and all other patriots
are opposed to any politics in the
war.

republican congress until after the

That are waiting for us everywhere.
These French maids may be pickins,
But the little Prairie chickens

A companion escaped.
Early Sunday morning, as Mr.

man entered the store and stood at
the cigar counter. When the drug

to wait on them they asked for
cigars. AS Mr.. Fogg stopped and
pulled a cigar box from the case,
Grabowski shouted, Throw up your

But instead of complying, Mr.. Fogg
dropped the box and, whipping a re-

Grabowski through the left shoulder.
Grabowski fell and Mr.. Fogg called
the police, without being able to
catch the other man. ..
At the hospital, Grabowski told

BY Associated Press,

With the American Army On The
Aisne-Marne Front, July 27.-Tht
French and Americans have continued
their rapit advance to the northeast
and the forest of sFere was cleared
of the enemy this afternoon. The
allied forces are losing contact with
the Germans.
The progress made by the Franco
American troops on the Aisne- Marne
front is considered eminently salts
factory by the commanders and the
failure of the Germans to employ ar
tllery extensively has tended to con-
firm the belief that their heavy guns
on the greater part of the field have
been moved far back, perhaps to a
position which may mark new line.
Hammer Enemy Flanks.
While steady pressure is being
maintained on the arc forming the
bottom of the sack, the allies are de-
terininedly hammering the flanks
where Won Boehm and Won Eben
have concentrated their armies, re-
turning blow for blow in the hope
that they can hold out until the main
body of the Germans can be with
drawn with a minimum loss.
& Aerial operations were again of less
Importance today on account Of the
weather. 1t was cloudy all day and
there were numerous showers, making
it impracticable to keep up the OBJ
servation balloons which usually mark
both lines. Occasionally both the
allies and the enemy attempted to use
planes but these in most cases were
forced to descend on account of the
rain.
There is a growing belief that the
enemy will make no effort to stand

PEOPLE URGED TO
PREPARE TO GIVE
THEIR ALL IN WAR
Eighteen Billion Dollar Army
Bill for 1919.20 Forecast
by Representative Kahn
in Speech.
BY Associated Press.

Cleveland, O., July 27.--An 1S-bil-
lion dollar army bill for l9l9-l92o
was forecast by Representative Kahn
of California, in an address here to-
day before the League of Republican
Clubs.
This means additional Liberty
bonds" Representative Kahn said;
1T means additional taxation; it
means, if it means anything, that the
American people must be prepared
to give their all, if need be. Perhaps
the time will come when every indi-
vidual in the United States will have
to content himself with the barest
necessaries of life, and surrender ev-
erything he possesses or earns be-
yond those bare necessaries to aid
the government.
1--WE have not begun to make sae-
rihces in these United States. We
do not yet know the pinch of hun
ger--I hope and pray we may never
know it-but we will be the better
prepared for possible eventua1ities If
we begin now the practice of self
denial"

BALL00NDUTY
over The HUN
Firing LINES
Graphic Description Of Air
Experiences of the Boys
With the Sausages
Over There, ~..

A special correspondent OF the New
York Times with the American army
on the Marine tells of the thrilling
experience of the balloon corps men.
He describes incidents around the big
sausage balloon (the kind the boys
are training with here In Omaha) as
it is on the firing line:
"The scene is the headquarters of
an American unit. 1t is what wars
ravages have left of an ancestral cha
teau with all its past grandeur and
present pathos. Grouped about the
big house are dozen or more sta
bles and barns and outhouses, each
of which now harbors Americans bus
lily engaged in thwarting the sworn
purpose of the Hun to carry his
hatred and hating into the capital of
France. Talking to one of our gen.
erals, | am standing by the side Of
an old stone fence watching a herd
of cows chewing their cud, while a
few kilometers away the boom of the
guns is constant. The day is beau
tiful, with here and there a patch of
white clouds floating lazily across the
heavens. Were it not for the nt|er-
ending boom and the ugly she'll holes
here and there the scene would be
peaceful.
"And then from behind clump bf
trees rises slowly complicated look
ing shape which shows itself soon to
be one of our observation balloons.
As the cable unwinds slowly from
windlass on the back end of motor
truck the sausage goes up and up
and up while from the depending
basket two young officers, who lit
tie more than year ago were stu.
dents at Columbia university, wave
a greeting to their general. Up and
up they go at the end Of their tether,

This means that the German crown
prince and his generals are extricating
their troops from dangerous positions
as best they may. Reports from
French headquarters have indicated
that the Germans we're carrying out
extensive preparations for the evacu-
alton of the territory between the
Marne and the Ourcq and it is un-
doubted that. the allies will endeavor
with all their resources to drive in on
the enemy flanks.
Large Area Retaken.
Bruyeres, which lies a little more /.
than three miles to the northeast Of
Armentieres, is at one end OF the new
allied positions and Chaumusy, SOUTH

been reta ken largely by the French
and American troops.
49,. Both Sides Weary.
The battle between Soissons and
Rheims, said by eye witnesses to be
the greatest of the war on the western
front, seems to have been fought with
such ferocity that both sides are, for
the moment, apparently exhausted.
Since the French and Americans
struck the German lines from Fon-
tenoy to Belleau a week ago last
Thursday, the Germans have been
forced to reform their lines and pour
into the salient south of the Vesle
river many divisions Of fresh troops
which probably were intended for use
elsewhere along the front.
The effort of the enemy to stabilize
his line has brought about what for Il
the time being is virtual deadlock
but over the situation there hangs at
all times possibility, and probabili-s
ty, that some new blow would be
struck by either side.
