WAR SUMMARY

While France and Great Britain .were joining with America in a Fourth of July celebration that is destined to become a milestone in the hostory of mankind, the troops of the three nations did spme “celebrating” of their own in the actual fighting zone. American infantry made its debut on the British front, on both sides of the Somme, to the east of Amiens. Together with the Australians, they went over the top and, supported by tanks, they stormed the important village of Hamel and two woods— Hamel and Vaire —which the Germans have held ever since their Picardy drive came to a stop. More than 1,500 prisoners fell into the victors’ hands. The Americans and Anzaccs advanced their line to a depth of 500 yards an a front of 1,200 yards. The French too registered a new important advance. They pressed forward on a front of three miles northwest of Soissons,. taking more than 1,000 prisoners. In a night attack Wednesday the Poilus penetrated the German lines to a distance of pearly half a mile on a front of a mile and a quarter and in a subsequent thrust, between Autreschas and Moulins-sur-Touvent, where they progressed about three-fifths of a mile on a three mile front. A single French battalion took 300 prisoners. In Italy the Austrians were again beaten in several local, but nevertheless important actions. They lost another 223 prisoners to the Italians, who pushed forward to a considerable distance at Chavazucchorisa, not far from the mouth of the Piave. In the mountains the British and French made successful raids and easily beat off a series of Austrian attacks.

WILL H. HAYS ENTHUSIASTIC

SAYS PATRIOTISM IS FIRST,— WIN THE WAR CHIEF AIM. * ' Wilf H. Hays, republican national chairman, who has visited a number of the states in the union, east, middle and west. He is reported to be enthusiastic about Republican prospects for this year, and says that he finds Republicans everywhere who are patriotically"' at work for the winning of the war. “I’ve been about a good deal,” said Mr. Hays, “and I thank God that there is no geography in our patriotism. Republicans everywhere are 101 per cent behind this war. In every state in which I have been, the supreme purpose of the party, just as it is the supreme purpose of the entire nation, is to do everything in our power, in every way possible, for the winning of the war.

“The Republicans I met were determined that there shall be no politics in anything that touches the war. There is politics everywhere, and properly so, but it has nothing to do with the war. “We are fighting in France in order to make certain that men shall •forever have the right to govern themselves. We will exercise this privilege now in this country where we already have it. We want not less politics, but more attention to politics that good candidates may be nominated, good men elected, and that consequently good government may result. There mu-3t be no politics in anything that touches the war. This is the purpose of the party everywhere.” Mr. Hays was asked about conditions in Michigan, where the Democratic organization has taken an interest in Republican affairs to the extent of suggesting that Henry Ford be made the nominee for Senator.

“I have noted with interest,” saic Mr. Hays, “that the Democratic state committee in Michigan, a state which is 106,000 Republican, has passed a resolution directing the Republican state committee in that Republican state to withdraw all the candidates from the Republican primary except such as the Democratic committee indicates.” This was all the comment Mr. Hays had to make of the Michigan situation, except to smile broadly. Mr. Hays conferred with leading Indiana Republicans while in Indianapolis. '

“IN” AND “DURING.”

Speaking to congress, bn May 27, 1918, President Wilson made this statement: Politics is adjourned. The elections will go to those who think least of it; to those who go to the constituencies without explanations or excuses, with a plain record of duty faithfully and disinterestedly performed.

The politicians of the country have been rather slow about taking this assertion at its face value. Politics is not adjourned in Indiana, because the Democrats are holding conferences and the Republicans are either doing the same thing or else preparing to. do so. Politics is not adjourned in Wisconsin, where the Democrats have refused to consider fusion with the Republicans on a loyalty platform. Politics is not adjourned in Connecticut, where the Republicans held a convention a short time ago. In short, politics, is not adjourned anywhere. So there is added interest in a passage in an interview given by Will H. Hays, Republican national chairman, in New York a few days ago. His questioner recalled that the chairman had said he wanted no politics in the war “and yet you are bending every effort to elect Republicans. How do you reconcile those two positions?” To which Mr. Hays replied: I mean there must be no politics in the war, but I am far from meaning no politics during the war. It is absurd to suppose that we will abdicate all political differences dur-

ing the war. That is impossible, nor is it advisable. So here we have a distinction between “in” and “during.” We must have no politics in the conduct of the war, but we shall have politics in plenty during the time the war is in progress. Perhaps Mr. Hays has consciously or unconsciously interpreted the real meaning of the President’s remark. Mr. Hays is insisting that the Republicans are really trying twice as hard to win the war as are the Democrats. The Democratic reply is that' such an assertion is absurd. In order to prove the truth of the Republican contention the Republicans will have to submit concrete evidence. Sb they must try “twice as hard” to win the war. And, of course, the Democrats will try to go them one better. So it is possible politics may bring some good result®, after all.—lndianapolis News. a,uMdsonm?

FEDERAL LAW SHOULD BE INVOKED

There is a federal statute against bringing booze into dry territory and the wholesome administration of this law would be a .splendid thing. The fellow who will waste his money, his manhood and bodily strength when men and money are so much in demand is not only a slacker but a criminal and should be punished with the severest penalties prescribed by the laws which they so willfully disregard. Indiana has taken her stand with the dry states of the Union and we do not propose that the hell holes of Illinois shall contaminate the pure atmosphere of this commonwealth. Let those who love booze go to Illinois and by their conduct arouse the good people of that state to such a degree of disgust that they will banish booze from this great sister state also.

75 CALLED, ONLY 27 AVAILABLE

Brook Reporter. The call for 75 men to go on July 22nd, caused quite a stir in this county. , , ~ It specifies they' must be of tne 1917 registration and men only of Class One. As we have only 27 men left in Class One in the registration of 1917, the board immediately communicated with the Adjutant General to see if some error had not been made, as the call of Indiana for 7,000 men usually would take about 18 from this county. The answer was to take 75 men from Class One 1917, and be sure and send them. The local board thinks that there may yet be some error as we have only the 27 under this call that can qualify. x . It seems that in May our list of No. One men had over 100 in it, and a list of these were furnished the department by wire, but since that time this board has inducted 81 from this number, besides those who have volunteered. The 1918 boys have not yet been sent their order numbers and so the board cannot call them and examine them. This call especially states that no men from deferred classes are to be called.

We have threshing coal, binder twine and all kinds of machine oil. KELLNER & CALLAHAN.
