ficers are showing nervous haste and sometimes what is considered question able judgments in their drafts on their reserves.
 At one single point the French took prisoners from four different regiments. German achievements brought up are immediately thrown into counter attacks, which de- velop fierce fighting at close range, often hand-tO-hand, with no other result than to disseminate the fresh units before they have been utiI- ized to strengthen me line of re- sistance. Every counter attack has been repulsed with severe losses to the Germans and has been followed almost immediately by n further advance of GOurRud,s men.

MUCH NERVOUSNESS

The German nervousness shows ,also in the use of the artillery. Garages are being laid Gown by the Germans conceivable reasons and great masses of ammunition are being wasted as at Moronvillers, through bad guess work at Gourauds plans.

JUSTICE RULES IN HONGKONG
Sphere of British Influence il China
Has Been of Much Benefit
to That Country.

There is much in the view which
emphasizes the iniquity of establish
ing spheres Of influence in China by
the easy process of taking away from
that helpless country large slices of
her territory; but the port Of Hong
kong is unique in this ard and is
to be considered quite part from
China's unfortunate international
contracts of recent years.
Hongkong is the natural outcome
of an impossible situation, Eleanor
F. Egan writes in the Saturday Eve
ming Post. 1t is the big end Of a
tremendous wedge of influence, no
doubt about that; but from the be-
ginning its influence has been of the
quickening and reinvigorating kind
1t is a place set outside Chinese con-
troll, where Chinese themselves can
engage in business and enjoy the
safeguards of equitable law and
strictly maintained order; and that
its establishment has been of vastly
more benefit to China than it has
been to England is beyond question.
incidentally, the whole world has
shared the benefits as freely as the
world, without asking leave, may
share the British privileges Of Lon
don.
The affairs of the colony of Hong
kong are administered by governor
assisted by two councils-one execu-
tive and the other legislative, There
is a secretary for Chinese affairs
who has seat in both councils, and
the legislative council has never less
than two Chinese members. The
English common law forms the basis
of the legal system and is modified
by colonial ordinances dealing with
purely local questions.

ATTY. CONKL|NG
ON LEGAL POINTS
ROLPH TAN GLE

Due to the confusion in voting cir
cleS over the reports from the north
that James Rolph, Jr., San Francisco S
mayor, who has apparently won the
Democratic nomination for governor
from rFancis j. Heney, cannot le-
gally head the Democratic ticket, The
Press today obtained some legal ad-
vice on the subject.
NJ. W. Conkling, one Of the lead
ing lawyers of the county, sums up
the situation as follows:
In view of the fact that the pri-
mary law provides that "the statute
shall be construed literally so that the
real will of the electors shall not be
defeated by any ilformality or fail
ure to comply with all the provisions
of this law" the courts will without
doubt resolve all doubts in favor of
finding that someone was nominated
on the Democratic ticket. The law
provides for the recognition of polti-
cal parties and fixes its rights to come
extent at least by the vote cast for
It's candidate for governor at the pre-
ceding election. If by any manner
of construction The court can avoid
the provision Of the statute that a
candidate who did not receive the
nomination by his own party cannot
have the nomination Of another party,
it would appear its duty so to do. The
provision may be held TO be in con-
flict with the later provision Of the
same law that wherever a candidate
has been nominated his name must be
printed on the ballot at the ensuing
general election. Also it is quite pos
sible that the courts may hold that in
tn vnt Of Rolph's disqualifications to
receive the Democratic nomination, the
candidate receiving the next highest
vote wa nominated. The provision is
also questionable as to its constitu-
ti9nality on several grounds.
