Montdidier Pocketed When
. .
French Gain on Both Sides
: (By International News Service.)
- PARIS, Aug. 10.—Montdidier has been ‘“pocketed’’ by the
French, according to the communique issued by the War Office to
day, which chronicled a further advance and the capture of several
more villages.
Gains were made by the French both north and south of Mont
didier.
North of Montdidier the French captured Davenscourt.
To the south of Montdidier the French conquered Rubescourt
and Assainvillers, reaching Favrolles, over tw omiles east of Mont
didier.
y The text of the communique follows:
“‘French troops operating on the right of the British forces (in
Picardy) continued their success during Friday evening and last
night,
"“The French made progress east of Arvillers and captured
Davenscourt.
(Davenscourt is about three miles north of Montdidier.)
‘‘Attacking south of Montdidier, between Ayencourt and Le-
Fretoy they (the French) have conquered Rubescourt and Assain
villers and have reached Favorelles.’’
LONDON, Aug. 10.—(11:28 a. m.).— ‘The Allies are wreaking
havoc behind the enemy lines where the utmost confusion reigns,”’
says a Havas dispatch from the Picardy battle front.
‘“The German supply columns are pressing in disorderly
_fashion towards the Somme bridges, which the British artillery
" and ar forces are heavily bombarding.”’

Defends His Vote on War Meas
ures and Ridicules Opponents
Before Habersham Voters.
CLARKESVILLE, Aug. 10.—Sena
tor Thomas W. Hardwick spoke here
Friday to about 125 people from sev
eral different parts of Habersham
County. He was introduced by M. A,
Ivester, justice of the peace of this
county.
Mr. Hardwick spoke in behalf of
his candidacy in about the same way
as he hag heretofore. He spent most
of his time in defending his vote on
war measures, and on several occa
sions brought forth applause on pa
triotic utterances as well as humor
ous ridicule of Howard and Hairis.
It was evident that a majority of
his hearers were in sympathy with
his eandidadcy. He declared that in
his announcement for Senator to suc
ceed himself he had had assurance
from nearly every militia district of
Georgia that he would be successful
on September 11. ‘
Mr. Hardwick declared that he was
as patriotic as anyone else, but be
lieved in free speech, and that he ex-i
ercised this privilege afforded by the
Constitution of the United States in
support of the volunteer system in
stead of the selective service. =g said
that the volunteer system had proven
!: success in Canada and Australia,
'and that had his amendment been
passed by Congress from 5,000,000 to
6,000,000 volunteers could have been
reised in the United States.
