The morale of the French troops was at lowest ebb. Two divisions served noticed on General Petain that they were
 through And-perhaps this has never been published-2Oo,O GOO people paraded the streets of Paris insisting that their sol- diers be returned from the field.
 ''The defeatist movement at that time, instituted by Bolo and others, was at it's height. Something was wrong some where. For the Germans were always aware of the plans of the French, knew exactly where to strike, where. as a mat ter of actual fact, to point their guns And the French suffered terribly. There is no question but that had the United States stayed at home, had the United States in no respect figured in the war, Germany would have emerged victorious, and the liberty of the world would have
 been sacrificed"
 Lieutenant Bradley tells no stories in which he is the sole hero, the one bright light, the scintillating star. He sings
 no song of his personal prowess, and has no tale of scores of Huns who went down before his bayonet flashing blood red But he did his bit He trained with French and British soldiers. then trained recruits, then studied and mastered re- NHCi SOl AlitO tiC tiiASh OA battle. He was in the Argonne and wit messed the slaughter there, and the great and glorious victory.
 In speaking of some of the "big guns of the war, Lieutenant Bradley said: T have heard the stories of General Pershing's unuopularity. They are ex- aggerated. He was a stern disciplinarian, but most effective one. I do not think that he was unpopular save with individ- uals or individual divisions. He was suc- cessfu1 in eliminating from the general staff and commanding positions all old officers who knew nothing of modern warefare and displayed disposition not
 to learn. This was great and most efficient work.
 The one man universally regarded as the genius of the war was Marshall Foch He was not only most remarkable strategist master of the science of war, but a great statesman. Lack of personal contact with commanding officers pre- vented adoration on the part of enlisted men for their leaders. This distinguished the world war fnom all which preceded. Nevertheless, Foch more than any other general became kind of idol. General Petain was also a great strategist, and General Nivelle displayed splendid abil- ity.
 Marshall Joffre is loved by everybody | in France. but he is not regarded as a military leader worthy to operate in the
 same sphere with Foch.'

LEAGUES CHANGES ARE
 NOW MORE FAVORABLE

Washington, August l--(SpeciaL1 11There are no figures which prove that the league of nations will be ratified. There is an indication, however, ''battleheld chance that ratification will be secured.
 The Age-Herald correspondent, after complete poll of the situation, learns that 43 democrats have pledged themselves to vote down, if possible every reserva- tion Of the four remaining democrats, one, Senator Reed, is dead against, and another, Senator Thomas, is absolutely uncertain. He is regarded as against rat ifcation without reservation Two others are wavering. It is probable, however, that at the proper time they will be within the fold.
 To. prevent the attachment of reserva- tions, 49 votes will be necessary. It is certain that 43 democrats will vote against reservations. It is probable that 45 will so vote. Two republicans will stand with the democrats-Senators McNary and Colt Two others are regarded as reasonably certain, Senators Nelson and Kellogg.
 The republican weakness consists in the fact that their strength cannot be pitted solidly against any certain reservations. The great majority favors reservations of certain varieties. Half however, favor this suggested reservation. and the other half. the other suggested reservation. Be- cause of this fact, the democrats are hopeful that with their own strength sup ported by discordant' opposition, they will be able to beat all reservations.
 If all reservations are beaten, can the treaty be ratified? Thirty-five republicans have expressed a determ ination to vote against the treaty. That number would be sufficiently large to defeat the treaty. But when the time comes to vote, demo- crats figure that some of the republicans, moved through a desire for peace, for the resumption of business. for the elimina- ton of the war as a topic of discussion and legislation, will flicker If two of them were to change their minds, or be absent from the chamber when the roll is called the treaty would be ratified.
 While the cold figures indicate that the treaty is in danger unless reservations , are attached, the betting chance seems to favor ratification. The field is fertile for the operation of psychology. That the sliehtest change would send the treaty to each of IS tribes for approval, and that infinite delay would necessarily fol- low such course of procedure, and that such delay would in effect continue for such length of time the war of the nations, operate to the advantage of dem- i ocrats.
 The Presidents trip in behalf of the 1 league is delayed, but he will make the 1 trip Democrats are confident that he will stir the people, and the people will stir the Senate, and that as result rat | ifcation chances will be materially en- hanced, democrats confidently anticipate

PACKERS CASE IS

Washington, August 1.-(Special)-A few Washington correspondents have been instructed by their papers to send no news which might be considered un- favorable to the packers of Chicago.

Mr.. r. c. coWAN FOR
DISTRICT ATTORNEY

This week we publish the formal an
nouncement of Hon. r. c. Cowan, of
Gulfport, as candidate for District
Attorney, subject to the action of the
Democratic voers in he primaries to
be held in August.
Mr.. COwan is SO well and favOrably
known to the citizens Of thic county,
where he began his career as a prac-
ticing attorney that it is scarcely nee
essary for us to say much about him,
except to call our readers attention
to the fact that he is candidate.
Born in Harrison county and reared
both in Harrison and Jackson coun-
ties. Mr.. Cowan comes before our peo-
pie as no stranger to them. He began
his education in the public schools of
Ocean Springs, afterwards spending
three and half years in the A. & M.
College and two years in the State Uni
versity. He began the practice of law
in Pascagoula, serving in the legisla-
ture as floater representative of
Jackson and Harrison counties in the
session of 1904 to 1906. Mr. Cowan
moved from Pascagoula to Gulfport
in 1905 and has resided in the latter
city since that time, where he has
been actively engaged in the practice
of his profession. In 1910 he was ap-
pointed Prosecuting Attorney of Harri-
son county, afterwards being twice
elected by the votes Of the peolpe.
Mr. Cowan's experience as prose-
cutting attorney for large county like
Harrison should especially fit him for
the Office OF district attorney and he
seeks the latter office because he feels
that it is in the inc of promotion. He
promises If elected to discharge the
duties of the Office farlessly, honestly
and impartially.
Mr.. Cowan is now making vfgor-
Gus campaign of the district which
will add to his already wide acquain
tance. We respectfully commend
his claim to our readers for their
consideration.
