FIELD MMY, i susuppin Pennsylvania and Illinois Troops Figure in Recent Bat tles —Allies Attain Advance of Fifteen Miles in Picardy WASHINGTON. Aug. 14. —The One Hundred and Thirty-first infantry of the Thirty-third United States division, has been engaged in the fighting north of the Somme and particularly in the re pulse of an enemy counter attack at Chipilly. General March said today at bis semi-weekly conference with news paper correspondents. This regiment alone captured three officers, 150 men and seven 105-millimeter guns. General March briefly ieviewed the situation in the Picardy salient, where the lines have now reached the general position of the front in 1916 before the Hindenburg withdrawal. At no point is the enemy now within fifty miles of Paris. The Picardy salient has been trimmed away on a front of fifty-three miles to a maximum depth of fifteen miles, the chief of staff said, and the line on the Marne front has remained stationary. American troops have recaptured F!s mette, on the north bank of the Vesle, from which they were driven. Discussing the work of the Twenty eighth division, comprising Pennsyl vania guardsmen, in the Aisne-Marne salient. General March said the only report upon its casualties received was that 400 men had been hit during four hours on July 30 in the advance to the Vesle. . _ The One Hundred and Thirty-first regiment is composed of Illinois national guardsmen and is attached to the Sixty sixth brigade of infantry in the. Thirty third division, commanded by Major General George Bell. The troops were trained at Camp Logan, Texas. The Twenty-eighth division. General March said, was in positions near Dor mans on July 16 and participated »n the advance across the Ourcq river on the 26th, when the attack against the Ger man lines attained its full momentum and thrust the enemy back to the Vesle. The Twenty-eighth was flanked on one side by the Forty-second (Rainbow) and on the other by the Third regular divi sion. Its position in the line was be tween Sergy and Roncheres. The work of the American troops, both on the French and British fronts. Gen eral March said, continues to win the highest praise from the allied com manders. . • 1,250,000 Men in Field General •Pershing’s announcement of the formation of the first field army, shows it was organized on August 10 and in this connection. General March disclosed that there were three American divisions in France and the field army included approximately 1,250,000 mefl. The organisation of additional corps and subsequently of additional armies will proceed without delay, he added, and eventually General Pershing will take command of all the armies, leaving com mand of each to a general officer, whom he may select. It is assumed that Gen eral Pershing has taken over his own stiff as the staff of the first field army In that case Major General James W. McAndrew is the chief of staff both of the army and of the American expedi tionary forces. / General March was asked as to the truth of reports that the American forces north of the Marne lacked ade quate air service. General Pershing's dispatches make no mention of any such condition, he replied, and added that a specific report as to the operation of airplanes in action and the conditions in that regard had been asked of the American commander, the substance of which will be made public when re ceived. The chief of staff took occasion to frown upon the name "Sammy” for American troops. No American soldier in France approves the use of that name, he said, nor do either the French or British understand why big, strong men like the Americans should be tagged with such a nickname. The British sol diers call their American comrades “Yanks.” General March said no American troops had landed in Siberia as yet. He did not have available figures on the total embarkation for France, which ne will make public on Saturday. Boxes With Parts of Submarine Are Found On Gowanns Canal NEW YORK, Aug. 14. Baxes con taining sections of a submarine were discovered at a dock on the Gowanus canal here today. Twenty-eight boxes had been lying on the dock for some time. The police decided to investigate and found the submarine parts. They were consiged to a man in Barcelona, Spain, and were built by a firm in Springfield, Mass., before the United States entered the war. A truckman, who leases the space on which the boxes were stored, was paid by a New York bank, the name of which was not dis closed by the department of justice, which is conducting an investigation. 23 More Americans Prisoners in Germany WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.—Names of 23 more Americans held prisoner in Germany were announced by the war department here today. James V. Clay ton. St. Joseph. Ky.. was the only southener on the list. Trust Me!

HOWARD DECLARES HE IS IN SENATE RACE TO FINISH (Continued from Page 1) laski, Johnson, Monroe, Dougherty, I Jones, Houston, Mitchell, Spalding and Putnam. On arriving here Congressman Howard found a number of telegrams from va rious rections of the state, urging him to continue in the race and assuring him that his friends were more en thusiasiic in their support than at any time before. Mr. Howard’s Speech Congressman Howard, after thanking Colonel Feagin for his generous Intro duction, and thanking the audience for coming out to hear him. spoke of the tender sentiments in his heart for the city of Macon. "Out yonder in Rose Hill cemetery," said he, “sleeps all that is mortal ot my father. Mulberry Street Methodist church in this city was built under the pastorate of my grandfather. Here in this city my late first cousin, the Hon. Augustus O. Bacon, was honored many times by an affectionate community. "No man in public life in Georgia since the Civil war has been more cruel ly and brutally mistreated by some newspapers than 1 have been. They have vilified, abused and misrepresented me. And finally I have been bludgeoned in an effort to drive me out of the sena torial race. But this is nothing new to me. Take the Macon Telegraph. It is a pity that a wonderful city like Macon should be afflicted with the crowd of journalistic partisans who are operating that newspaper. (Applause and cheers.; One of the speakers preceding me has said that George Long, the editor of the Telegraph, is a Canadian slacker. I do not know as to that—but I do know this, that when he went to make appli cation for naturalization papers, and they asked him whether he was willing to return to the land of his nativity (Canada), and enter the military service thereof, he answered NO. And I am in formed that he is right now in the city of Washington trying to escape the military service of Canada under our treaty with that country. “I voted for a law in congress to throw around the boys in training camps an iron band of moral protection, be cause I believed, as all men belleveo in congress, that the mothers and fathers of this nation were entitled to have their preeiofls sons safeguarded from debauchery and disease. And when the federal authorities began cleaning up the cesspools of vice in this city, this Macon Telegraph editorially ook the side of the Macon vice district and espoused the continuance of this menace to the health and good morals of the men in training at Camp Wheeler. "I hope some day you will have a decent morning newspaper in Macon, edited by journalist of honor and self resnect. I have never fought a man from ambush, and I have never fought unfairly, and I do not object and have no right to object to the editorial op position of any paper that treats me fairly. I want to take this occasion In this city to thank the Macon News, which has opposed my candidacy in a high-toned and honorable way befitting the test traditions of southern journal ism* The only trouble with you boys (walking over to a point in front of Mr Simmons and Mr. Bayne. and looking down at them with a beaming smile) is that you are trying to blow life into a political mummy when you espouse the cause of William J. Harris.” The audience responded with a hearty laugh in which Mr. Simmons and Mr Bayne joined unreservedly. “Yesterday morning at sunrise I wa - the next junior senator from Georgia and tonight I am 10.000 votes strongei than I was then. (Applause.) The people of Georgia wear their hearts where any honest man can find them. They know me and know my record. And they know that my record is above reproach I occupy the unique anc happy position as a can; .rate of having a public record which even my bitterest enemy has never been able to criticise in the slightest particular. One of m> fermer opponents spent several hundred dollars having the congressional In formation bureau examine my record in congress with a magnifying glass from alpha to omega, and he never found a thing whi v ch he could criticise. Then he attempted an attack on my private char acter. and I met him once in joint de bate in his home town, ard he went out of the .--enatorlal race. If the two Ma con newspapers will bring their weak lings here to this auditorium, to meet mo face to face. I will take one hour and give him the balance of time in which to reply, and he won't carry a single militia district in Bibb county. "Harris has waited until I made 100 speeches attacking the record of Thomas W. Hardwick, making the only formidable attack that has been made on the junior senator, while he was running around the state giving the peo ple a lot of baby talk, and now when I have got Hardwick beaten, and when the people are turning away from Har ris by the hundreds on account of his manifest intellectual incompetence and manifest political weakness, he tries to slay me with a letter from tne president. “One of the tests of loyalty is to save that great man from designing and crooked politicians. My retirement at this time from the senatorial rac-i would underwrite the election of Thomas 'W. Hardwick. (Applause.) I know that I to be a fact, because I have heard from i hundreds of men throughout the state, and there isn’t a man in this audience . who does not know I ant telling tne I truth.” Here Congressman Howard and 1 drew a deep breath, seeming to gather 1 his strength for a supreme effort. Then I tc the audience he made this request: “Be patient with me tonight, my friends, if I seem lengthy and tedious. ' This is a very important night for me. i I am talking here tonight not only to I you, but the people of Georgia. (‘Give it to 'em, Bill.’ shouted several men in the audience.) ‘Now, let's see my record for loyalty. I see in the audience a man who served with me in the national house—a man of courage and fighting qualities. He : knows me, and knows my character, and I knows mv record. I call him to wit ! r.ess the truth of what 1 shall say (Referring to Judge Bartlett.) • What was the first test of the loyal ty of members of congress? The cow ardly McLemore resolution, ordering | Americans off the high seas, denying them their God-given right of free and ' unhindered travel in peaceful commerce, sinking down the hands of our great president in his negotiations with the imperial German government. It was a vote denying confidence in Woodrow Wilson, and if the congress had adopted that resolution, then our president and our flag would have stood disgraced be fore the civilized nations of the world, and the German government would have baa the permission of the representa tives of the people of this nation to flout our leader and treat his protests as the empty utterances of a discredited .and repudiated chief executive. That resolution was introduced by Jeff Mt i Lemore, a congressman from Texas, I reprerenting ar. overwhelming German : constituency, and the United States at i that time was honeycombed with the German propaganda, i arose in my place . on the floor of the house and defended I the great president of the United States in a speech that was printed and praised I in nearly every newspaper in Georgia, including those papers. v. hich arc now most viciously and cruelly abusing me. Where was William J. Harris when that resolution ca.hc before the house? Sit ting behind a flat-topped desk in Wash- ington inefficiently administering tne affairs of the federal trade commission. Right to Free Choice “If I am tainted I deserve no con sideration. But it’ lam loyal, if I have ability, if I have a record that the peo ple approve, if they want to send me higher, why should hey be deprived of their rignt to make a free Choice.’ (Applause.) "In the last ten days the Harris clubs have disbanded and disappeared in the following counties:” Here Congressman Howard read a list, including White, Rabun, Habersham. Franklin, Hart, Elbert, Wilkes, Gwin nett, Madison and numerous other coun ties. President Misinformed "And yet in spite of this collapse of the Harris propaganda, which has been growing more and more pronounced in the past three weeks, the Hon. Clark Howell, Democratic national committee man from Georgia, and editor of the Atlanta Constitution, recently held a conference with a professional politi cian who has fought nearly every meas ure for human uplift and political prog ress introduced in the Georgia legisla ture in the past twenty years, and these two men have decided that Howard won’t do. They have decided that they cannot control Howard. They have de cided that Howard will not play their game. And because they cannot control him and make him play tneir game, they decide to slay hi mwith a bludgeon and kick him out of his party. So they go to the great president and lay before him a pile of newspaper clippings, taken from the weekly press, which has sepa rated William J. Harris from something like $25,000, and they tell the great’pres ident that Georgia is clamoring for Harris, and that Howard is ‘muddying the water,’ and the great president, bur dened with the stupendous responsibili ties of the war. having no time to make a thorough investigation, takes their word for the situation, and writes a let ter expressing a preference for Mr. Har ris. “In South Carolina it was clearly stated that the administration would not take a hand and had never taken a hand between loyal Democrats, but by de ception and misrepresentation the Hon. Clark Howell attempts to nail my hands upon the cross of his own private greed and his own private of selfish ambition. Loyal to the President ‘‘My friends, this is a fight to the finish. (Applause.) I have been as loyal to the president o£ the United States as any man in this country, and though he slay me,- yet will I support him. (Applause and cheers.) “In a speech at Carrollton Mr. Harris »ells the people that a vote for me is a vote for the kaiser. Does he think it would give the kaiser any aid and comfort for you to send to the senate a man who denounced and fought the infamous McLemore resolution; a man who voted to approve the president’s action in severing diplomatic relations; a man who voted for the declaration of war; a man who voted for the selective service bill; a man who voted for food control and fuel control and railroad control; a man who voted for the espion age bill and the sedition bill; a man who voted for every measure to prepare the nation for war; a man who worked fif teen to eighteen hours a day on the ap propriations committee preparing bills to pay every dollar of the cost of our stupendous war program? Do you think it would give any aid and comfort to the kaiser to send a man to the senate with that sort of a record in congress? "In 1912 I went on the stump in sev <ral northern states and delivered cam paign speeches for Woodrow Wilson. Where was Harris? Managing, or I should say mismanaging, a preferential campaign In Georgia that lost the state for Wilson and gave it to Oscar Under wood. In 1916 I again went on the stump in northern states and delivered campaign speeches for Woodrow Wilson. Where was Harris? Looking for a job with a bigger salary. On the floor of the house I have fought the battles o. the Wilson administration. In com mittee rooms 1 have fought the battles of the Wilson administration. Last spring I had the honor of going to New Jersey and speaking to the annual ban quet of the Democratic leaders of that state. And although I traveled on White House mileage, and although an aide of the president accompanied the party, Harris would now deny me the credit for even that. "1 entered the race for the sinate be cause 2,674 Georgians in eleven days wrote and telegraphed me to Washing ton, urging me to run. I went to the president. He stated to me that he had neither counseled nor advised Mr. Harris to make the race, but he feared the entrance of any other candidate would re-elect Hardwick. Ir. other words, he tolc. me that he feared that any consid erable defection of the loyal vote would send the junior senator back to Wash ington. He did not even know tnat three candidates besides Harris were then in the race. He was under the im pression that the disloyal element In Georgia was very large. Who gave him that information? No Georgia congress man gave it to him. No Georgia politi cal lender gave it to him. William J. Harris gave it to him, and the reason was plain and the motive was plain— Mr. Harris feared my opposition, and gave the president false information to make his fear any opposition. And then Mr. Harris caused articles to be publish ed in the Washington and Philadelphia and New York newspapers, asserting that the disloyal element in Georgia was very large, and the farmers of Geor gia were ‘holding back,’ and he was coming down as the great high priest to lead them out of the wilderness. Harris' Sapport “And now who is supporting William DR. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is just what I need. It is a splen did laxative, mild and pleasant and acts so quickly and easily. I wouldn’t be without it, and keep it in our home all the time.” /From a letter to Dr. Caldwell written by\ I Mr. G. C.

Caldwell, 425 Washington Street, Monticello, Illinois. J. Harris in Georgia? Look over the well-known roster of reactionary poli ticians, who have never stood for any thing in harmony with the progressive thought of the state, and see when you find them. Those that are not supporting William J. Harris are sup porting Thomas W. Hardwick. Am. who is supporting William Schley How ard? Thirty-five thousand laboring men in Georgia are supporting Howard. Twenty-six thousand railroad men in Georgia are supporting Howard. Thirty five thousand organized farmers in Georgia are supporting Howard. Why are these men supporting me? Because they know that I have voted in behall of every measure that ever came be fore me in the interest of human up lift and political progress. They know that I have voted in favor of thost measures that would make the smile of their children brighter and sweeter. They know that I have voted in favoi of those measures that would make their homes and families happier. They know that I was the only member of the Georgia delegation in congress who voted for the child labor bill to pro tect the innocent boys and girls from industrial greed. They know that twenty years ago, as a mere boy tn the Georgia legislature, I introduced the first bill to make the railroads ana other public service corporations of Georgia pay taxes on their franchises. And this very Ed Brown, who is fight ing me now, was fighting me then. This very Clark Howell, who is fighting me now. was fighting me then. They murdered me at the next legislative election in DeKalb county, but thank God the Honorable Charles Murphex Candler was elected, and re-introduced the tax bill and passed it without a single change at the very next session. “These men, these reactionaries, seek ing to destroy me, seeking to trace some unworthy mark across mv pathway, have seen that the people were about to ele vate me to the highest office within their gift. And then they went to the man whom I have supported with all the loyalty of my soul and sought to nail my hands upon the cross of their own greed and their own selfish and sinister motives. "Why are the people going to remove Hardwick? Because he has misrepre sented their patriotic sentiments in the highest deliberative body in the world. And William J. Harris is more respon sible for Hardwick’s presence in the sen ate than any other man in Georgia. (Ap plause.) Harris cannot make a speech. He cannot make a talk. He cannot even read correctly a apeech that some body writes for him. And if he should go to the senate, which he never will, followed by his speaking bureau, the doorkeeper of the senate would close the door, and say to Mr. Bale, and say to Mr. Burwell, and say to Mix. Bennett, and say to Mr. Callaway, and say to the others, that the rules of the senate per mitted none of them to go upon the floor. Then what would you do?” (Laughter and applause.) Here Congressman Howard turned his attention to Senator Hardwick and de livered a powerful arraignment of that gentleman’s record of opposition to all of the indispensable measures prepar ing the nation for the prosecution of the war. "And when Hardwick came to Georgia on July 4, 1917, and delivered his speech at Columbus that barely grazed treason, said Congressman Howard, "who went into the newspapers of Georgia, and who went on the stump before the peo ple of Georgia, and answered his attacks on the president, and explained the se lective service, and defended the war policies of the administration? Was it Harris? (Laughter.) Imagine him attempting to defend any policy. The selective service law was not so well understood in the summer of 1917 as it is today. It was not so popular then as it is today. And now Harris goes to Carrollton and tells the people that if he is elected to the senate he will bring their boys back from Europe. That is a remarkable proposition. How is he going to do it?” (Laughter.) Here Congressman Howard touched on some features of the Harris record, including his "great business ability based upon his failure with his fire insurance company;’’ his investigations of gasoline, coal and food: his hurried departure to Washington immediately after the presidential election of 1912 for the purpose of "cashing in” his suppoit of Mr. Wilson. “Is It Fair?” 5 “Now. in conclusion, my good friends.” said Congressman Howard, "if I thought my continuance in this con test would aid Senator Hardwick in the slightest degree. I would retire to night before leaving this rostrum. To day, streams of people poured into m> headquarters before I left Atlanta. Scores of telegrams came in frtim every section of the state. And what did they say? They said that the farmers of Georgia are not going to swallow Wil liam Harris. They said that the labor ing men of Georgia are not going to swallow William J. Harris. The presi dent believes what Clark Howell and one or two other designing politicians told him for purposes of their own They did it because they thought It was the only possible way to prevent my overwhelming election. (Applause.) It it pretty hard. my friends. when 1 hive guarded my public record as sa credly as 1 would guard the life of my little I abv girl, when the am!) tion of my life has been to leave to my boys a heritage of honor in the service of my state and the service of my nation, when I have supported the leaders of my party with unswerving devotion —it is hard, oh, it is hard, to have them bring to bear against me the president's great influence. Do you think it is right? i (Shouts of ’No!’) Do you think it is I fair? (Shouts of ‘No!’) “The president did not do it. He be | lieved these men who are seeking to destroy me for no other reason thai- j McAdoo Stops Sale of Intoxicants on All Railroad Property WASHINGTON.

"But bear in mind, my good friends, that I have done a few things for my party and my president. Bear Sn mind* that problems will come when the war is over that demand, experience and de mand ability. And bear in mind that Mr. Harris does not claim either one of these, but asks you to send him tc the senate merely because he will do as the president tells him to do. Bear in mind that the president had one pick in Georgia, and he picked Hardwicn. Now it’s our turn, and if we make a bad selection then it will be somebody else’s turn to pick our next one.” TO ALL WOMEN WHO_ARE ILL This Woman Recommends Lydia E.
