HOBBY NOMINATED

Dallas. Tex. July 27.-Wfth one
fifth ON the precincts of the state
heard from Governor William p. Hob
by had run far ahead of former Gov
ernor James e. Ferguson, his chief
opponent in the race for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor. His
vote at that stage was 102,056 as COM
pared with 1929 for Ferguson.
Political writer's on the Dallas News
and the Houston Post, two papers
which had supported Hobby through
out the campaign claimed his nomi-
nation by majorities of between 300,-
600 and 100000.
The vote was record breaking in
size. With women voting for the first
time and the men voters aroused to
high pitch of excitement by the
keenness with which the campaign has
been waged for three months, the
totals ran far ahead of what had been
expected.
1t was estimated that more than
TAO, 900 votes had been cast.
Miss Annie Webb Blanton, of Den
ton, the only woman candidate on the
state ticket, apparently received the
generous support of the women voters
for the early count showed her run
ming far ahead of w. f. Doughty,
incumbent for the nomination for SUI

About half this sum was invested

After America had entered the
war and Viereck changed the name
of his publication. The Fatherland, to
"Viereck's Weekly" his source OF
revenue, which was the German gov
ornment, was cut off. To carry on
his alleged German activities, it was
charged by Alfred l.. Becker, deputy
attorney general, he employed agents
TO collect funds under the represen-
tation that the money was to be used
to finance the agricultural and in
dustrial labor relief bureau which he
said was organized to aid unemployed
enemy aliens.

country and of obtaining sums rang
ing from $50 to $500.
According to Mr. Becker, the evil
dence indicated that viereck paid
himself salary of $7O0 monthly and
that the labor organization placed
$500 or $500 worth of advertising in
Viereck's Weekly each week.
In these two ways, Mr.. Becker de-
clared, yiereck pparently obtained
personal possession of virtually all
the contributions. transcripts of his
bank accounts are said to show he
purchased through Hugo Schmidt,
German war bonds and Berlin ele-
waited and subway company bonds. il
was Schmidt, now interned, who
acted as agent for the German gov
ernment in placing millions OF dollars
in American banks to the credit OF
former Ambassador Won Bernstorff In
connection with the Bolo Pasha case.
Incidentally, Mr. Becker declared,

The Fatherland was launched. iust

Won Bernstorff was the first con-
tributor. placing $1,000 in viereck's
hands. Between that time and Amer

Becker said the evidence shows.

vancing allied line might fall. Were
IL not for the hunting down OF the
enemy and celaning out points of
obstruction, some parts of the line
could be far in advance of where they
are.
The Germans have left Officers
who know how to maneuver skillfully
partly deserted units so that at times
it appears almost ironical to refer
TO their defense as rear guard
action. 1t is just that, however, al
though by any standard except those
established In this war. the almost
half daily and really monor encount-
ers would be styled big battles.
Prisoners brought to one of the
American division headquarters to-
day were men of the landwehr. who
confirmed former statements of pris-
oners that the armies engaged in the
retirement are leaving only enough
men to resist efforts to hurry them.

north of the Marne swept by allied
artillery, the German army in the
Scissors -Fsheims salient has retreat
ed to a new line of resistance, where
another attempt will be made to
meet the attack of the French,
American, British and Italian troops.
Thus was the German withdrawal
reported in advices from Paris,
viewed by military officials here to-
night.
The retirement OF the enemy did
not alter the belief in official circles
that the enemy still contemplates
fighting It cut In the region north of
the Marne. Military wisdom, 1t was
pointed cut, dictated complete with
drawal from the salient ebtween
scissors and Rheims.
The internal situation in Germany
and Austria, it was suggested may
have forced the General staff to
make only a partial retirement and
to accept again the challenge OF bat
tie.
There has been no abatement Of
the American and French drive in
the Aisne Marne pocket so far as
official reports show, although the
attacking forces apparently nave re-
sorted to concentrated artillery fire
now to force their way ahead. With
so German divisions, or one-fourth
OF the enemy's entire fighting
strength on the western front,
massed in the narrow battle area,
the guns have been called upon to
blast way through for the infantry
General March, in his talk with
the newspaper correspondents today,
drew attention to the inner pocket OF
the salient, where the recent British
advance southwest of Rheims threat
ems a new pincer movement.
No additional American forces
have been thrown into the Aisne-
Marne battle as yet, General March
said, although he announced the for
nation of two additional American
army corps, the fourth and fifth. The
chief of staff explained, however,
that the assignment of the thirty d.
visions which compose the five corps
now organized to their respective
higher units, did not mean that the
corps had been actually drawn to-
gether for operations. Many of the
divisions are still with French or
British forces for final training.
Members of the senate military
committee learned from General
March that the July movement of
troops to France probably would
reach a total Of 100000, making a
new record incidentally the move
| ment last week was put at $4,000
| men, or about one-half of which has
been the rule for some weeks past.
In the course of his remarks to the
correspondents, General March said
that the first American fighting

yond the line officially reported day
or two ago. This means that the Ger
man crown prince and his generals
are extricating their troops from dan
geOus positions as best they may.
Reports from French headquarters
have indicated that Germans were
carrying out extensive preparations
for the evacuation OF the territory
between the Marne and the Ourcq and
it is undouhted that the allies will
endeavor with all their resources to
drive in on the enemy flanks
Bduyeres which lies a little more
than three miles TO the northeast of
Armentieres, is at one end of the new
allied positions, and Chaumuzy, south

pivotal point of the German advance
in the recent offensive, is now ten
miles or more to the south Of the al
lied front All this territory, running
northward from Chateau Thierry as
we'll as to the east and west, has been
retaken largely by the French and
American troops by fighting of the
sternest nature during the last week.
The battle between scissors and
Rheims, said by eye witnesses to lie
the greatest of the war on the West
ern front, seems to have been fought
with such lerocity that both sides are,
for the moment apparently exhausted.
Since the French and Americans
struck the German lines from Fonte-
noy to Belleau a week ago last Thurs
day, the Germans have been forced to
reform their lines and pour into the
salient south of the Vesle river many
divisions OF fresh troops which were
probably intended for use elsewhere
along the front.
The principal fighting of the past
few days has taken place along the
Oulchy-I. e -Chateau. Villemontoire.
and the Bouilly sectors. At Vile
montoire the allies succeeded in push

The action occurrea>X a big open
place in the tcsfest, the Germans
cliIging TO the inner edge of the
woods.
Behind the Americans was their
heavy artillery which sent shells far
over the shortened field of operations
into the main bodies of the German
troops, and also harassed their
transports.
The lighter artillery was used as
a barrage into and across the fields,
the Germans not replying to any
great extent.
When the Americans advanced
into the open, lines OF machine guns
concealed in the woods, shell holes
and every possible point of cover,
swept them with a murderous fire.
1t was insufficient however, to do
more than slow up the advance,
which continued steadily and eau
tiously until a group of houses in the
center OF the area had been occu-
pied. This incident of the advance
was characteristic of the greater
part of the German resistance along
the fronts parallelling the river.
The progress made by the Franco
American troops on the Aisne -Marne
front is considered eminently salts
factory by the commanders and the
failure of tho Germans to employ
artillery extensively has tended tc
confirm the belief that their heavy
guns on the greater part OF the field
have been moved far back. perhaps
