The retirement of the Germans on parts of the northern front contin ues, hut these maneuvers as yet lack ile finite explanation. Follow ing closely upon the evacuation of front line positions north of Albert, which were taken over by the Brit ish, has come another voluntary re linquishment of trenches in the l.ys sector. The village of Vieux Hor ijuin has been given up and ground over a front of about nine miles to a depth of from one to t wo miles has been ceded without fighting. All the way between 1 .a Hassee canal anl Ypres the Germans still are ex hibit intr signs of nervousness and daily are bombing the Iiritish front heavily with shells and gas pro jectiles. Along the Yesle river front, the Germans are similarly bombing the positions held by the French and Americans, but their efforts have eone for naught so far as causing a relinquishment of territory is eon rned. The American aviators sin busily i n gaged in bombing opcra tions behind the German lines, es peeia'ly against tho bridges leading in' northward across the Ai.-ne riv er.

We are t-roiiiK to put the whole civilian population on shoddy for the next year." Yanks Allies' Eest As?ct. General .March declared the belief that the "freshness and vior of our troops is the greatest single military asset the Allies have." "Without hciiiK conscious of it." lie added, "the hammering that the other nations have had now for four years has greatly lowered their ener gy and freshness and their lighting power, so that when this great mast; of fresh Americans come in they will have en entirely different view of the fighting from that wheih now exists along that line. And it is and should be and is going to be our policy to get those millions of men together as an American army and finish the war in the shortest pos sible time and not drag it out." for full military service would be secured from the new registrants and he outlined the calls for the next year or more as follows: "August. 250,000; September, 200,000; October, 15.r.,000; Novem ber. 150,000; December, 150,000; January, 100,000; February, 200, 000; and oOO.OOO monthly thereaf ter until the end of next year."

In General March's opinion the Allies have complete control of the sea. He said submarine attacks had been considered in planning for the shipment of 2-40. ion men monthly overseas. Regarding heay artillery. he said lie was in douht about it being furnished in sul!ciei:t quantity. Airplane Situation Bad. "Sou are alo iu doubt about tl'p airplane situation?" asked Senator Reed. "The airplane situation has not been mentioned. but 1 say very frankly that I do not like it." was General March's reply. In answer to must ions about the Russian situation General March said American troops "are not goinu in there in any force," and added: "As a military proposition 1 say without any qualification whatevc", that the idea of trying to re-establish an Kastern front in Ru.-,-ia with a little handful of Americans is sim ply ridiculous." Wants Young Men. General March told the commitfi o aienrding to the report, that lie was in favor of young men for the army and that the youths of IS reuistered under the new Draft Law would be in France by Juno ",0. He estimated that some 2."'0,000 men qualified FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

Respectfully, C. F. HARRIS. VOTE FOR GEO. W. NGREIS FOP. FOR U. S. SENATOR. . Washington, I. C, Aug. 5th., 1910 I have been an admirer of George N'orris ever since he began his dis tinguished career in the house. He was one of the pioneers of the pro gressive movement at the capital. I have been associated with him anil his friends since he entered the Sen ate. He is clean, courageous and patriotic public servant. There is no man who more faith fully and perisitently urges legisla tion in behalf of the general public and the people than George Norris. He is able in debate, and exceedingly efficient and industrious in commit tee. I believe in him absolutely at a man and as a public servant, and hope he will continue to lie in the place which he now occupies. W. K. LOIIAII, U. S. Senator.

This will be of great interest to the farmers of the state who more and more are being compelled to replace shortened man power with machinery. The State Fair, which opens Sep tember 1st, is this year dedicated to a policy of "helping win the war by produMig more food." It is very much in keeping that an unusual exhibit of agricultural machinery should br; shown. If ever there were need of improved and efficient machinery with which to do the work of the boys who have been tak en from the fields it is this year and it should be the duty of every farm er wherever possible to see the State Fair machinery exhibit, talk with the representatives and secure full information regarding the possibili ties of the various kinds of ma chines aud implements. There aro further drafts to come and labor will be even shorter than at present. The wise farmer will be looking; ahead and planning to meet the sit uation. He should by no means fail to not only see, but study carefully the exhibits to be found on the Ma chinery Grounds at the State Fair. To do so will be an education in it- PUBLICSALE!
