WILSON ADVISES
 GEORGIA VOTERS Says Hardwick Constant and Active Opponent of
 the Administration

Atlanta, August u.-A letter from Pres ident Wilson to Clark Howell, democratic national committeeman from Georgia, was made public here tonight, in which the President expressed his views con cerning the senatorial race in this state The communication was reply to a letter written to MT. Wilson by MT How ell on July 24 asking the President to take the people of the state into your confidence and give them the benefit of your view of the situation
 The Presidents letter, under date of August ', follows.
 My Dear MT. Howell: Allow me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of July "A. which has been supplemented by a number of others from prominent citi- zens of Georgia bearing the same in- quiry as to the attitude of the national ing contest for the United States sena- torship in Georgia. Your own letter, observe, ia addressed to me by you in your capacity as a member of the na- tioHal democratic committee and assume that it is your feeling that it is proper for ne to answer the question in the in- terest of the rarty as national unit.
 T must say, however, that have been surprised by the question, because I had supposed that the people of Geor- gia fully understood my attitude 1. I have never undertaken, and I never would presume tc undertake, to dictate to the voters of any state the choice they should make, but when my views have been sought by those who seemed to have u right to seek them, I have not hesitated to give them. q.
 Senator Hardwick has been a constant and active opponent of my administra- tion. MT. WIIiiam J. Harris has consist ently and actively supported it. In my opinion the obvious thing for all those to do who are jealous of the reputation of the party ana the success of the gov ernment in the present crisis is to com bine In the support of MT. Harris. Sim cerely yours,

PRESIDENT ASKS MINERS ID GIVE MAXIMUM EFFORT Calls Upon Men to Work Full Time and Accept De ferred Classification in
 the Draft

Washington, August r1.-Coal miners and operators were called upon in proc lamation by President Wilson, made pub lie today, to give their maximum effort to the production of coal to the end that the threatened shortage next winter may be averted. The President asked the miners particularly to work full time and urged those who are essential to the in- dustry to accept deferred classification in the draft
 "The ex sting scarcity of coal'' said the proclamation, "is creating a grave dan ger-in fact, the most serious which con fronts us-and calls for prompt and viz orous cction on the part of both operators and miners Without an adequate sup ply our war programme will be retarded; the effectiveness of our fighting forces will be lesseEed; the lives of our soldiers will be unnecessarily endangered and their hardships increased, and there will be much suffering in many homes throughout the country during the com. ing winter.
 II am we'll aware that your ranks have been seriously depleted by the draft, by voluntary enlistment, and by the de- mands of other essential industries. This handicap can be overcome, however, ana sufficient coal can be mined in spite of 1t. If every enc connected with the industry, from the highest official to the youngest boy, will give his best work each day for the full number of work hours.
 Those who are drafted, but who are essential, will be given deferred classiti- cation, and it is the patriotic duty Of their friends and neighbors to hold them in high regard for doing so. The only workers whc deserve the condemnation of his community, is the one who fails to give his best in this crisis; not the one who accepts deferred classification ana works regularly and diligently to in- crease the coal output

INTENSIVE AIR FIGHTING

British cavalry sent back word that they could not proceed because of heavy fire from woods on thesr front. A number of swift whippetsT' rolled around to the back of the wood, but the Germans saw them coming and ran for their lives to- ward the rear. This gave the cavalry an opportunity and they charged into the enemy, who made q vain attempt to rally. The Germans sabred right and left and 700 of them surrendered.
 That was only one of the many in- stances where British cavalry during the course of the battle, in addition to scout ing far ahead of the advancing infantry and rounding up enemy forces, has made thrilling charges with the traditional dash of the mounted forces. If the Ger mans have had hafd time of it with the allied infantry and artillery, they have had doubly a hard one with the cavalry and the tanks.
 The battle is progressing at this hour from one end of the line to the other ana most favorable results are reported everywhere for the allies.

SITuATTON STARIT.TZEn

London, August 11.-Today the situation
 south of the Somme was becoming well stabilized. There has been no important allied advance in the last F hours, and at some places slight retirement has been necessary. The fighting has been desperate and of a ding-dong character, and for the mo- ment any big advance on this front is not expected.
 The enemy, apparently, is calling upon his reserves to help him save all mate rial possible.
 At noon today the allied lines was as follows:
 artng from the north: West of Meaulte. which is still in Ger
 man hands: thence to Etinh6m Framer- vile and Lihons, which are still German
 Hallu station (the Germ~ns hold Hallu), Parvillers, L'Echelle and Armancourt. both of the latter still being German, ars.. thence through Tilloloy park and through the station of Roye-Sur-Matz to Mareuil-

suned these maneuvers are similar to those carried out over the Marne front, when strong rear guards covered the retirement of the crown princes armies northward.
 FIRES BEHIND LINES The smoke of large fires continues to be seen far behind the enemys lines and the movement of long transport columns eastward Is considered evidence that it is the intention of the enemy ultimately to retreat to new lines of defense. Avia- tors have destroyed all the bridges across | the Scmme from the region of Peronne southward and with the enemy's com
 municating lines either in the hands of the allies or dominated by their guns, the retrograde movement necessarily
 must be slow. Therefore, strong rear guard actions are required to save large
 numbers of men and guns and enormous quantities of stores from capture. The allied troops gradually are encirclng Rove and it's capture, which seems inn minent, will greatly heighten the diff
 entities of the Germans in ss.ling back. INTENSIVE AIR FIGHTING Intensive air fighting is proceeding over | the battle line. In Fridays battles Ss German machines were destroyed and 22 driven down out of control. The British war office acknowledged that g British machines are missing. Unofficial esti-
 mates bring the number of prisoners taken by the allies up to 36,O00, and the number of guns captured to more than
 800.
 | Or the vesle front the Germans on the northern side of the stream are re-
 ported to be entrenching and stringing l barhed wires over the territory where they are facing the French and Ameri- cans.

The Americans and their British broth ers-in-arms, at last accounts, were press ing closely upon Bray-Sur-Somme, aided by tanks and armored cars, which in- flicted heavy casualties on the enemy as he endeavored to retard their prog ress.
 Across the river the Germans heavily engaged the British at Lihons and it's vicinity and at one point pierced the British line and gained the outskirts of Lihons. A counter attack, however, en- tirely restored the British line and the enemy retired to positions east and north of the village. Unofficial reports from London have credited the British with entering Chaulnes and the British cav airy with penetration of the enemy's territory almost to Nesle. These reports. however, have received no official veri- fication.
 FRENCH PROGRESS GREAT
 By far the greater progress has been made by the French from the regio,l immediately southwest and south of Rove to the Disc river. Here they have driven their line well across the Roye- Compiegne road and at Cambronne have reached the road leading from Compiegne to Noyon. Since the capture of Mont didier the French have penetrated east ward to Tilloloy, a distance of about seven miles, and to Canny Sur Matz, more than eight and a half miles, and through the hilly region southward to the Disc have averaged gains exceeding six miles over front of F miles.
 The stiffeEing of the German defense docs not, in the minds of observers on the battle front, indicate the retreat of the enemy has ended. Rather it is as-
