Senators freely predict that there !! will have to be stringent legislation to enforce the w ork-or-fight idea in this country. The senate debated this question several days when the new . and by 11 majority voted for a work-or-fight amendment.

Thursday saw both the British and French armies in Picardy materially develop their plan's for the eventual cnvelopin gof St. Quentin and Cam-L-rai. The British made further gains around Gouzecourt and east of Epehy, while the French, striding southeast cf St. Quentin, brought the southern part of their nipper in to a better position for the squeeze against the town, which daily seem ingly is growing nearer. The French reached the outskirts cf Bensy. The important town of Contescourt was taken. Castres was also captured. Huns Keep to Trenches. More than 10.0C0 prisoners and in excess cf sixty large guns fell into the hands of the British dur ing the big operation begun by Field Marshal Haig Wednesday northwest of St. Quentin. In addition extremely heavy cas ualties were inflicted on the Ger mans in the frontal attack3 and during violent counter attacks made by them in an endeavor to recoup tjheir losses of ground. S3 badly was the enemy ham mered during this fighting that he did not attempt on Thursday to stir from his trenches, except near Epehy and Gouzeaucourt and to give list less battle on isolated sectors to the south. Northeast of Soissons the Germans are counter attacking vigorously against the allied forces holding strategic positions which are threat ening the high ground along the Chemin-Des-Dames, which the ene my hopes to save as a temporary haven of refuge in the event of a forced retirement from the west and the south. Enemy Everywhere Repulsed. Notwithstanding the strength of the onslaught the French every- j where repulsed the enemy. Likewise south of the Aisne, in FEEL ALL USED UP Lots cf Plattsmouth People Do. Does your back ache constantly? Do you have sharp twinges when stooping or lifting? Feel all used up as if you could just go no farther? Why not look to your kidneys? "Why not use Down's Kidney Pills? Plattsmouth people have done so. They tell you the result. Mrs. Hettie Cummings, Chicago Ave., Plattsmouth, says: "I suffered so severely from my back at times I could hardly get about. When I got down, I had to take hold of something before I could straighten. Sharp pains often cauglt me across my kidnej-s and for a minute I couldn't move, the pains were so se vere. I couldn't rest well, my back ached so badly. I tried different remedies, but nothing did me any good until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills.

On the Lorraine front there has been mutual artillery shelling, but no infantry engagements. A raid attempted by the Germans against General Pershing's men northwest of Pont-A-Mousson came to naught. Slaughter Terrific. With the British Army In France, Sept. 19. The'entire British opera tion about St. Quentin has grown into a brilliant and important suc cess which was not forecast in the original limited plans. Not the least" important feature of the vic tory was the slaughter inflicted on the enemy forces, particularly dur ing their frenzied counter attacks, when they were mowed down like wheat with the machine guns, or swallowed up in a maelstrom of crashing shells from the British barrage. On the right flank there was es pecially bitter fighting about Ilolnon village. The British had captured part of this place the day before, but the Germans still held a Fection of it, with machine guns trained from every house. These had to be cleared out, and this had to ' be done systematically by small parties who dared the hos tile fire and bombed the Huns out of their hiding places. Fight At Close Quarters. A far more serious engagement was waged east of the village, where the Germans had constructed a quadrilaterial trench system, which was heavily armed. Here the contending forces strug gled throughout the day at close quarters. .
