sent back to find more supplies, which
would be necessary after the next ad

front line were charging machine guns,
slowing down under fire, then skirmish

before they dashed ahead and took
them. The signal corps men had not

the boches would quit strafing the

The Germans are changing the type
Of their defense lines, dcscrting con-
crete strong points for flexible ma
chine gun nests. Usually their infan.
trymen are grouped behind bushes or
lie in the tall grass, not firing until
the attackers are close to them.
Apparently each line of machine
guns and line of infantry tries to de-
lay the American advance as much as
possible, depending upon the next line
to take up the burden afterward.
The Americans have been surprised
to find fewer trenches than they ex-
pected, but much wire, behind the de-
serted Hindenburg line. Infiltration of
American patrols through the defenses
has not been difficult. The engineers
are speedily improving all necessary
roads. During the first two days of
the advance some roads were almost
impossible, streams of traffic eontinu-
ally slipping into mud holes. Putting
tractors, sometimes two or three hook
ed together, pulled trucks, guns and
wagons from bitches.
The transportation problem, howev-
er, has become less difficult with our
arrival behind the former German
mai ndefenses and better weather.

HOLMES WILL
NOT RUN ON The
LEAGUE TICKET
In MINNESOTA.
Nominated for Secretary of
State, He Turns the
Proposition Down

Minneapolis, April z.-Represen-
tative Henry Holmes OF Big Lake is
firm in his refusal to be the Non
partisan league candidate for Sec
rotary Of state. Not only that. but
he indicates plainly his disapproval
Of the leagues activities in war
time.
Under date OF March "a, nearly a
week after the leagues convention,
he wrote to the editor OF The
Monticello News:
Il wish you would announce
in your paper that I have abb
solutely no thought, and never
have had any, of being a cam
didate for secretary of state.
The Nonpartisan league had no
authority from me to use my
name in such a connection, nor
have any communications from
them or correspondence with
them concerning any Office.
Neither have been consulted as
to. what might be the wisest
thing to do under the special
stress of our state and nation
on account Of the war"
The news says further on the
proposition:
"As a matter of fact the leaders of
the league in st. Paul were positive
" informed that he would not ac-
cept the nomination, but they re-
fused to give this out to the daily
papers. To the reporter OF The
News he says he has but one desire

after losing more than half Of their
men.
The dispatch follows After an
11-days offensive during which the
Germans have recklessly pushed for
ward their attacking waves, one may
gather. fairly accurate estimate OF
their losses.
"In the first place, it has been
possible to identity nearly 100 divis-
ions since the beginning Of the Of
fensive, more than ten Of which were
twice engaged. Some divisions had
to be relieved at the end Of the first
day, having lost more than half or
the men; such was the case Of the
45th and the ssth. The latter has
been nearly entirely wiped out.
Among those that have suffered the
most are the 50th, 18th, 18th and
10th divisions, as we'll as the second
(Prussian guard), the 18th, the 21st
and 26th divisions of reserves.
Tn the second place, an enormous
number of corpses were found on the
battle front, and the prisoners on
being questioned acknowledged the
extent of the losses of their respec-
tive units.
"To conceal from the German peo-
pie the heavy sacrifices that their
offensive methods required, the Ger
mans are sending most of their
wounded to Belgium.
1T is not an exaggeration to esII-
mate the total OF their losses at be-
tween 275,00o and 300, 900 men,

Mr.. Hildreth declared that disloyal-

would continue to be melted out to
them. He declared men had banded
themselves together in some portions
OF the state to retard the work Of the

speeches, they were disloyal at heart

Among the Democrats in attend
ance at the convention there is no
little discussion Of the appointment
question.
The appointment of the U. S. mar
shall is one of the keenest topics. The
term of s. J. Doyle expired on April
I, and so far no appointment has
been made to succeed him. Mr.. Doyle
and l. l.. Stair, the latter backed by
the Nonpartisans. are the rival candi-
dates.
Mr.. Doyle has the support of Chair
man Byerly and National Commit
teeman Perry. Sen. A. j. Gronna, IL

up confirmation OF Doyle's appoint
ment If made.
Minot Office Question Raised.
F. f. Fritz, register of the y. >,

are rival candidates for the appoint
ment of register. Mr.. Bierly was ap-
pointed some time ago, but the APP

time.

that these troops have received the
essentials Of food, artillery and mu1i-
tions for which they have been watt
ing.
The immediate objective Of the
Austrians Is expected to be the city
of Brescia on the east of Lake
Gardoz and another attack may be
directed on the west with the pur-
pose OF breaking into Lombardy. The
principal Italian munitions and army
supply factories are located in Lom-
hardy and Piedmont, and besides Sc
curing these, the Austrians might put
themselves in a position to swing
their forces northWard into France,
reinforcing the Germans from the
south against the French right wing.

The Free Speech Issue.
And then again we have peopl

claiming they are afraid that tn
right Of free speech is to be cur
tailed in America" declared MI
Doyle at another point in his ad

And / wish to call your at
tention to the fact that there
never has been a single instance
OF any man who was vigorously
supporting the government, or
who was engaged in any of the
various patriotic and loyal works
which are being carried on at
this time, declaring he had the
least apprehension about losing
the right Of free speech.
The men who are going about
the country declaring that free
speech is being limited and
done away with are the same
men who are telling you they are
loyal to the country at all times,
