"There never was a time in the his, lory of our country when it was so important as it is right now, not only to maintain all existing transportation facilities, but to provide for ini creasing them to the limit of possibility. As I see it, failure to pass a Rivers and Harbors Bill at the present session of Congress would be more than a costly blunder, it would be a plain disregard of public duty." ?

The German commander v.as just to th** northward of this section on Sup'"*'. His presence is supposed to havv. fceon connected with a?i attack on the French lines wh:?;h the Germans intended to deliver on Tuesday morning. The French forestalled them, and after demoUghing German machine gun nests and other defensessvith artillery laiinche<l an assault which was so brilliantly suocessfir that more than 1,000 Germans were captured. At the same time, the French obtained elbow room beyond the ridge for future operations. As outlined to the corresnonder fc to day, the operations in the region developed into a struggle for "observation points," possession of which jt absolutely indispensable for success. In their forward drive on the Moronvilliers range, the French captured all those positions dominating the surrounding territory. The heights of Carnillet, Blond, Haut, Casque and Teton, and the Moronvilliers hills arc now indisputably in their possession and from them they are able to watch the movements of German supply col umns and reinforcements and thus harrass them, making precarious the German tenure of the Rheims plain. The system of fortifications encoun tered by the French in their advance was more formidable than any they had met before that time, but the clever maneuvering of their infantry and tho pile driving of their artillery overcame these difficulties. Thus the French were able to register a victory at a cost amounting to only one fifth that of the Germans. o Drives Out Malaria, Builds Up System The Old Standard general strengthening tonic, GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC, drives out Mnlaris.enriches the blood,and builds ?.?;> the system.

The only alterations of frontier which could he contemplated by the German Socialist party were such conditions and considerations Among the phrases he used were: "The question of Alsace-Lorraine is purely a German internal one." "Alsace-Lorraine is German land." "The formula of peace without anncxations does not apply to AlsaceLorraine, because there has been no change in possession during the war."
