FRIENDS WANT HOWARD
TO HOLD PLACE IN CONGRESS


ATLANTA, April 27-Although his
friends are not saying much about it
in the hearing of other candidates
it is known that some of the warmest
supporters of Congressman William
Schley Howard, representative of the
Filth District, woh recently announced
himself candidate for the senate to
succeed Thomas w. Hardwick, are
binging strong pressure to persuade
him to withdraw from the race and
seek reelection to his present position.
The fact that several new candidates
have come into the race since Con
! gress Howard made his announce
ment has increased their feeling that
he made a mistake If they felt that
| he had reasonable assurance of cleo
ton to the senate they would favor his
making the race. and they are going
to support him to the last ditch il
he stays in it, but in the absence Of
such assurance they believe that
ought to play safe by going back to
congress.
! Another serious factor in the stu
alton as they see it is this: Reliable
report here has it that Congressman
Howard gave President Wilson to I'M
derstand tht he would support Will
: liam j. Harris for the senate, and the
| President is said to have expressed
surprise and disappointment when he
changed his mind. This, It'll feared,
might seriously affect Mr.. Howard .
relations with the administration even
in the event of his election.

DEFEAT FOLLOWS DEFEAT
For Cowardly Huns As Allies Drive
Them Toward Their Own Land

The past week has seen con-
tinual succession of allied army
smashes which have resulted in
routs of the Germans in all sec.
tions, the capture of thousands
of prisoners and huge stores Of
supplies. The French are clos.
ing in on another pocket of
Germans and their ability to
evacuate without annihilation is
doubted. The British tanks
have been big factor, captured
German officers stating that
they weakened the morale of the
Germany soldiers.
In Russia the peasants have
again taken up fighting and a
force of 10000 is organized to
defeat German control in the
Ukraine. Austria is also ap-
preaching an internal crisis
similar to the Russian condi
ton. Desertions in the Austrian n
army are making it valueless to
Germany. They are so starved
on the Italian front that they
sell their equipment and clothes
for something to eat.
