stand of the Republican party lor
vigorous prosecution of the war and
against an inconclusive peace.

-which I now reaffirm, and which I

and gloom at Berlin. Davies' defeat
means gloom at Washington and joy

i "I regard this as an Infamous prostl-
tution of all patriotic proprieties and
the grossest violation of the plainest
civic duty, worthy of the severest con-
' damnation, of all Americans. In this
- crisis, when all patriot are striving to
bring to the aid of the country s cause
every resource in men and material.

f Democratic boys are dying, side by

lovaL such conduct is - Immeasurably
- reprehensible. From such action It is
, evident, and I regret to say it. that
- these Democratic leaders will go to
X any length to- carry the Senate and
House. Such unpatriotic efforts to use
the war for partisan purposes must
fail. Such Inevitable failure was in-
late American rifrhts. interest and
honor, and make of our sacrifice a sacri
lege to be made again by out grand
children. I hope and trust the Demo
cratic oarty will work by tne same
token."
Recognizing as we all do that there
will always be politics, I am pieaseo to
advise you what I said to these Repub
lican state chairmen, because I insist
that our politics be open and acknowl
edged, and on a plane and of character
that needs no subterfuge, ana mat
there be no political partisanship in
anything that touches the war.
No Partisanship In War.
"Further, I now take the opportunity
to' appeal to you directly and to tne
Democratic organization, as I long ago
did in my reply to Colonel George Har
vey's letter, to Join with us in this ef
fort to keep partisanship out of the

2 Vigorous Prosecution of War TJrgea.
"Second, as to the imperative neces

Mr. Tumulty quoted "a similar po

extracts from an address by George

made an advance at its greatest depth

forces this morning launched an attack
on the German positions. At 9 o'clock

at different parts of the sector.
The first wave of American troops
met witn iittie resistance and at
o'clock the second American wave was

German first line, -
Prior to the advance French and
American artillery directed a terrific
barrage fire on the German positions
on this front. The reply of the Ger

places, although as a whole it was
weak.
There are some Indications that the
Germans are withdrawing their artil

they are going to fight hard before be
