 The French asserted that the en- tire south bank of the somme iS now in their control and that French bridgeheads have been es- abolished atV several points on the north bank. These bridgcheadS might be employed as the spear- head of c counter- r-offensive should ono be ordered.

Attorney Alcorn ST. In Line For U. $. Senate
Increasing Group of Republican State Leaders Seem to Favor States Attorney Claim Record
 Entities Him to Honor

Nomination of States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, ST., for the U. s.. Senate Is favored by c growing group of Republican state leaders, judging from sentiment expressed at Q num- ber of recent parleys and confer- ences. Support for MT. Alcorn is divided about evenly between those who believe that his record entities him to the honor and those who arc rallying behind him in an effort to prevent the nomination from going to Paul Cornell, of Litchheld county.
 The growing momentum of the boom for Mir. Cornell has many leaders worried, and they are seek ing 6 candidate to place in the field against him. Thus far, the former New York, advertising man and Washington schoolmaster is the only candidate openly In the field.
 On Local Convictions
 The Alcorn candidacy would be launched on the basis of the con- victions secured by him in the local conspiracy trial. The trial, however, is also Q serious drawback, since ap- peals from the convictions are scheduled to Do argued at the Octo- Der term of the state supreme court of errors, at which time Mir. Alcorn, if c senatorial candidate, would have to be busy campaigning.
 In seeknig to unite the anti-Cor- nell forces, c. o. P. leaders have also considered several other possi- ble candidates, among them State Treasurer Joseph Talbot, of Nauga- tuck, Judge Omar Platt of Milford, and William J. Pape of this city. MT. Talbot and MT. Pape have both stated that they have no interest In seeking the nomination.
 Republican circles report that '. 6. Senator John A. Danaher would like to see candidate other than MT. Cornell given the nomination.

Cannot Escape Say Germans

The Germans took the position that the trapped British and French could not escape, but there were indications that considerable numbers of the original army had been removed, presumably through the French port of Dunkirk which was reported in flames and almost surrounded now by the Germans who di- rected both artillery and air bombardment at this last line of Allied escape.
