Hands Of.

gresham Irvine L. Lenroot. Reprb-
lican candidate for United States SEN
ator, in a speech at the neighboring
city of Ksnosha tonight called on
President Wilson to keep his hands
out of Wisconsin state politics.
He said that as Republicans in Con-
gress had forgotten party to support
his war policies, the President should
rot interfere between loyal Democrats
and loyal Republicans in Wisconsin.
The attempt to get either Lenroot
or Joseph Davies, the Democrat SEN
atorial candidate, to withdraw having
failed this afternoon, both sides un-
furled their banners tonight and for
a week the state will rock with po-
litical battle which, for numbers en-
gagged, has not been exceeded even in
a national campaign.
Both sides have brought in orators
and speakers of prominence from the
country at large,for it is believed that
the eyes of the nation are watching
the progress of event.

defendents, Oris Goodall. was tried,
and he was fined $500 and the

fore the court charged with petty

and taking $500 from sewing

been broken and ordered. and will
be planted to potatoes first, and later
crop of corn, beans, cabbage and

ground will be sown to turnips.
There is about Y of an acre in the

Teuton Losses Estimated
At 100000 in Seven
Days Carnage.

Amsterdam, Mar. 27.-Enormeus-
ly long ambulance trains are passing
thru Liege and Namur, Belgium, on
their way to Aix-La-Chapelle and 9TH
er parts of Germany with wounded
men from the French battlefront, ac-

Huns officially declare number Of
prisoners is increasing and booty
grows in proportion.
London, Mar. 28.-The strength
of the great German offensive TN
France apparently is fast diminish
ing. On the seventh day of the IL
tanic battle there were strong indi-
cations that the enemy was feeling
materially the strain he had under
gone and that his power had been
greatly impaired thru hard usage.
While the town of Albert has been
captured from the British and west
of Roye the French have been COM
PEELED to give ground in the face Of
greatly superior numbers, the Brit
ish have repulsed heavy attacks,
both north and south of the Somme
and also driven back across the An
ere River the Germans who forded
the stream Wednesday. Tho hight
ing still continues Of sanguinary
character on all these sectors, but
everywhere the British and French
are holding the enemy. Especially
severe has been the fighting west of
Albert, where the Germans, in an
endeavor to debouch westward were
repulsed by Field Marshal Haig's
men with the heaviest casualties.
| The British gains between the
Somme and Ancre regions are rep
resented by the recapture Of the
towns of Morancourt and Chipilly.
South of the Somme they have ad-
vanced to Proyart, which lies to the
south of Bray.
All along the fifty-mile front from
the region of Arras to the south of
the Disc, near Noyon, the effects of
what was to have been the final
stroke to end the war In victory
for the Teutons, are only too plainly
evident in the redevastation Of the
countryside and the wreck and ruin
of the towns, villages and hamlets
thru which the armies have pass
ed.
| Westward from where the old bat
tie line reared itself the Germans ev-
erywhere have pushed forward for
material gains. but with foes before
them who fought with the greatest
bravery and stubbornness and ceded
no ground unless recompensed at
usurious rates in men killed. wound
ed or made prisoner. II is estimated
that in the great attacks delivered
in mass formation more than 30o.-
900 of the nearly million men the
Germans threw into the fray are
dead, wounded or in the hands OF
