MONTPELIER
Mayor Mitchell Willing to Run in Forth

Politics in Montpelier is commencing
to wake up a little. Mayor L, W. Mitch

willing his name should be used rs

pie wanted him. His administration
compares favorably With those of recent
years, so there is little doubt but that
he could be reelected. However, friends
of J. p. Galleher, four wears an alderman
from ward 4, are urging him To allow
the use of his name as candidate, put

in the neighborhood OF Eonches,
Chaulnes. Estrees, Dompierre Merit
court, Miraumont, Achiet-Le-Grand
Sapignies and Ervillers. Heavy fghtins
occurred about Grevillers, and a. des-
perate conflict was waged in the yicin-
ity OF Nesle, which the Germans now
hold.
The enemy also attacked strongly in
the direction of Noyon, but met with
strenuous resistance, which appeared
to stem the advance. A further mass

the British are beginning to reach po-
sltlons which must be held II very
general retirement is to be avoided
The number of prisoners captured by
the Germans, $4,000 in all, does not
suggest any disaster; rather it points
to an orderly but hasty retreat, for in
such retreat the wounded have to be
left behind. The favorable sign was
the steady fall of the total in the first
three days-16.000 on the first. 5000 on
the second. 5000 on the third. The

In a similar period of days in the
victory over the Italians the Germans
claimed more than 100000 prisoners,
600 in the first five days. TIE British
and French in their combined Arras
and Aisne offensive a year ago took
around $4,000 prisoners and nearly 500
guns in. the first few days.
As it stands now the Germans have
advanced almost across the devastated
district of their great retreat of year
ago. They have behind them now only
"a few roads and practically no rail-
foads. The task of bringing up their
heavy guns, and munitions, without
which they cannot get on, must be tre-
mendous. The British, on the other
nand, are nearly, but mot quite, back on
their, old front of the Somme, and
thus have the advantage of all the
communications constructed for that
offensive of nearly two years ago.
First Week Test OF Fighting.
Not only have the Germans to bring
up their heavy artillery. but they have
to register it upon the new British gun
positions. They are fighting now, and
must fight henceforth, for a time at
least. under the most unfavorable con-
ditions. while the British conditions,
as to transport. reserves and posi-
tions. are better than at any time since
the attack began
Now. in the history of all the great
onensives In the west so far the crisis
has. passed by the end of the first
week. At Verdun the French counter
attacked on the. sixth day and the
German rush was over. At Arras the
British had to stop after five days.
Save where the original thrust has
ended in complete rupture of the
enemy'S lines, and this has only hap
pened in the east. there has. been no
continued advance after the first week.
So far the Germans have not broken
the allied line: they have not pierced
it either at Bapaume or to the south,
while they have temporarily halted in
the center. Their efforts have been
stupendous, and even a machine like

Members Threaten to Resign

Consolidation of the eleven local draft
boards at the District building halted
today. when members of the local board
for division No. 3, City Postmaster NJ

draft headquarters that if the policy OF
consolidation of records is continued the

nations.

Would Interfere With Duties.
Members of board No. 8, it is under
stood, do not believe that they could
iconscientiouSly perform. the duties of
their Office in the manner they under
stand them If the records were removed
from their direct control at the city
post Office
At meeting of the board held last
| week, to decide what answer should
] be made to Daniel J. Donovan, acting
, adjutant general for the District who
made a request that the records. of
the board be centralized with those of
the ten other local boards, it was de-
cided to refuse to give over the records,
in justice to the registrants over
whose cases they have had jurisdiction
up to this time"
it is to them and to them alone that
registrants of that division should ap-
ply with any information concerning
themselves, or for any information re-
Sarding their standing in the draft
and that the removal of the records
to the District building would thus de-
prive registrants of the board from
intimate contact with board members
which is their right.
