The Christian Endeavor Society of This splendid Map, in colors, was sent to THE LITERARY DIGEST by General Pershing, and occupies two full pages in the February 22d number. It is accompanied by a thrilling article drawn from the American Commander-in-Chief's own report of the battle was sent with the map. In this tremendous fight in the Argonne forest 600,000 American doughboys faced the crack divisions of the German Army and put them to rout, capturing 468 guns and 16,059 prisoners. Never before was an American Army -engaged in such a great battle, and never before in any battle did any army face such almost insurmountable obstacles.

This unusual Map made by the army cartographers at headquarters in France during the progress of the great push will be invaluable for preservation. The position of every Division engaged on every day of the advance, and in some cases the morning and afternoon positions on the same day are clearly shown; the. heavy German defense systems that were broken are clearly indicated, showing the irresistible impact of the American push. Every River, Railroad, Wagon-road, City, and Town in the Meuse-Argonne region is plainly given. In a million American homes this number of "The Digest" containing the splendid Argonne Battle Map will be read with intense interest.

Every returned soldier who fought in this great offensive and every relative of a hero in this great drive will be particularly eager to have "the Digest" this week. As no extra copies will be printed, we advise you to go to the new-stand NOW and get yours before they are all sold.

Smith first entered politics here some years afro under somewhat unusual circumstances. It was in the days of the Mcllhenny school board of thlrty-ono members.

According to an old custom when a member resigned from the board he was allowed to suggest his successor. The man suggested was usually picked, but if he was not the board, at least, named a man of the same political belief ns the retiring member. Failed to Get on Hoard A Democratic member moved from one ward to another and tendered his resignation, suggesting a Democrat as hiB successor. The Board brought out a name then new in politics Frank A. Smith and a hard-fought contest was waged to put him over on the board.

It failed eventually, but not until after a fight that was remembered for years. The strength of Fritz lies with the independent voters and there are many of them in the county, as shown by the votes in recent years counted for the Keystone, the Washington and other Independent party movements. If the voters desire an Independent they have the strength to elect Fritz. The Republicans are counting on lack of Interest In the present contest to put Smith over. Their strength is based on general apathy.

The machine's workers will be out In force tomorrow, and the machine counts on the Independents and the Democrats letting matters take their course. -Ropubllonns Dissatisfied Fritz has done a lot of campaigning in all parts of the county and he has had an active campaign committee that has been working days and nights for his cause. They have found much dissatisfaction among Republicans regarding the methods of foisting Smith on the voters as a Senatorial candidate. They have found, that for this reason, many Republicans fnvor Fritz ns a man upon whom they can rely to vote right if he gets into the Senate. Fritz has made many friends among the workers.

Starting In himself as a worker at the Harrisburg Shoe Manufacturing Company, he bettered his condition by unceasing labor until he has become the secre-tary-tren surer of the company. He stands for a fair wage and a contented labor condition and he has the backing of many laboring men In the community.
