Attempts To Be Made Create Another Election Board
Reports describe attempts by the lower house to create a national election board with sweeping powers, while the Senate backs state level boards. Either plan would limit the president’s current authority over elections and congressional selection, with no bridge yet between the two houses. In Hawaii, bone dry prohibition for wartime stands is set by federal law, taking effect August 25 and extending two years postwar unless a plebiscite alters it, with exceptions for medicine and sacramental use.

Drive Against the Foch Forages Lasts Only Three Days
German efforts to batter down the French defense between Montdidier and the Oise seem checked on the third day. French counter attacks regain ground on the western end, while center efforts meet stiff resistance. The front south of Soissons near Dommiers and Amblony threatens the Allied line north of the Oise. Germany may attempt a south of Compiegne forest move to flank the French northward, though no immediate attack is evident. The French hold the Oise left bank but positions could be jeopardized if Germans push west of Soissons. Counter attacks keep the German thrust in a wedge between the Oise and Matz high ground. There is no indication of an immediate attack toward Amiens or channel ports. The British report only raids. Paris reports heavy fighting around Montdidier and the Meuse region with French troops holding in the south of the Alsne front. The German official view suggests the latest offensive objectives may be achieved, with counterattacks confirming gains and debates on Ludendorff's remaining plans.
