Landslide Predicted.

Mr.. Harrison has pitched his campaign
on high ground. discussing Senator
Nardaman's record since trouble. with
Germany started in dignined. moder-
ate and courteous way. There is moth
Ing like vituperation, abuse, extreme or
harsh language in his reference to Var
daman or his supporters. But this !s a
case in which the truth hurts. 1t is
pulling votes away from the Great
White Chief" and II he is defeated II
will be because the people of the State
do not indorse his record.
There are those here who say that
there is going to be veritable land
slide for Mr.. HARRISON, and that he will
be elected on the frst round of the bal
lots. This prediction is based on the
strength of the crowds that are flock!ng
TO hear his speeches and from reports
from conservative men. many Of them
former Vardamanites. over the State.
There is no question but that If all
men voted their convictions they would
vote against Nardaman. Many Of them
who do not lndorse his course as 10 the
war with Germany. his speeches and his
published interviews are going to vote
for him regardless OF his record. jus, be-
cause they like the man and have been
voting for him all their lives They are
with President Wilson and are backing
the Government for all they are worth.
but anomalous as It may seem, they are
not against Nardaman because OF his
opposition to the President.
One OF the strongest signs against
Nardaman is that many OF the news
papers which supported him in his
campaign seven years ago are now
against him

Chief Object Of Military Move Said

WASHINCTON. june lo.-American

fore Italys leaders within a very short
time. The contingent will be made up
Of picked regiments. brigaded under
the personal direction of General Perish

consultation with General t'och and
British leaders.
The sending of American soldiers TO
the Italian front is generally consid-
cred here as indicating that for the
present General Foch has ample re-
serves in France to meet any Gcrma II
offensive Military leaders have de-
clined to give the exact strength of
General Fochs reserves, but they say,
"a general in command of operations
on a front of the extent OF that held
by General Foch must needs have at
least 100000 men in reserve: it is the
part of wisdom TO have 100000 in re-
serve if possible"

offensive to achieve decisive results.

In military circles here, there is no

purpose is To show the Italian armies
and the Austrians that American forces
are now on every front and that the
United States is determined 10 give

every ally. The fact that American
ambulanccs and a squadron of Amcri-
can airmcn have gone TO the Italian

the battle line. The general belief here
is that the Americans will be placed
in the mountain region.
1t has been known for some time
that the Italian public has been eager
ly urging an offensive by the allies on
the Italian front. 1t would not be sur
prisng if the Americans arrived in
time to join in the action. Military
experts here say such AN offensive can
not take place until the Austrian of
