$DC CONGRESSMEN ARE RENOMINATED

Men Opposed In Michigan Primary Are Successful According To late Returns.

DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 2».-—The si* congressmen who were opposed for renomination at Michigan's primary election Tuesday have all been renominated, according to virtually complete unofficial returns today.

Joseph W. Forney won his tenth consecutive nomination by a victory in the P)ighth district Tha others renominated are: Frank D. Scott, Eleventh district Charles A. Nichols, Thirteenth district Frank E. Doremus, First district Louis C. Cram ton, Seventh district, and Gilbert A. Currie, Tenth district.

All but Doremus are republicans. In the republican senatorial contest late and nearly complete returns only added to Commander Treman H. Newberry's already abnormal lead over Henry Ford, Detroit manufacturer and former Governor Chase S. Osborn. The democratic gubernatorial contest, the dark horse surprise of the primary, is still a clouded issue, although John W. Bailey, Battle Creek, is 3,000 votes in the lead in incomplete returns from slightly more than half the state precincts.

POSITIONS NOT tMPROVED.

German Withdrawal In Nesle Region Fails To Aid Retreat. PARTS, Aug. 29.—Viewed from the maps the German withdrawal before French pressure in the Nesle region, coupled with a.llied activities there on the great battle front, which has become the greatest of the war, hardly placed them in a more secure position than the one previously occupied.

The fact that south of Peronpe the Germans went back to the Ca^al Du Nord and the Somme, may indicate that they will retire to the same canal north of Peronne where it runs toward Cambrai. British pressure on the north and on the French position along the Oise do not make the Canal Du Nord a very strong line because it can be outflanked from the north and from the south.

The French, at the juncture of the Oise and the Ailette could cut in behind it and, at least are so placed as to impede seriously any withdrawal from the region between Ham and Nov on.

German resistance is reportei to have increased, as the British and French have moved eastward south of the Somme. This may Indicate the enemy intends to make another temporary stand at the Somme and,the canal Iue Nord. Meanwhile the British south -of the Scarpe are eating Into the old German defenses with success. The fate of thei Hindenburg line depends upon the situation here and interesting developments may be expected.

FRENCH PURSUIT UNCHECKED.

Strength of German Rear Guard Dwindles To Nothing. WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN THE FIELD. Aug. 29.—(By the Associated Press.)—The effort to stem the French pursuit by fighting rear guard actions with machine gun sections, leaving a section at intervals of about +00 yards, was only locally successful. On ground especially favorable for that sort of resistance, such as the terrain around Roye, it gained some time for the enemy, enabling him to move a great many guns and a considerable part of his material behind the Canal Du Nord and north of Noyon.

But once this system of fighting waa mastered the streugth of the German rear guard dwindled to almost nothing. The Germans, hustled violently by the French advance guard, were obliged to risk an engagement with important forces or to quicken their retreat.

In Hurried Retreat.

The3ermans adopted the latter* plan, and since yesterday morning they have been making all possible haste in the road leading to St. Quentin, LiaFere and the Hindenberg line.

Pressure from General Humbert's third army from the west and from General Mangin's men, who crossed the River Oise from the south and took Morlinepurt this morning, while other French troops were entering Noyon. adds greatly to the difficulties of the enemy. The increased danger from those directions will oblige the Germans to make further sacrifices in order to save General Von Hutier's army from disaster.

the Queant-Drocourt support line. North of the Scarpe, German counter attacks seemingly have held up the advance astride the- Arris-Douai high road.

An advance of nearly one mile has been made in the Chavigny region.
