An entire division, half = of whom “sere Bavarians and half Pomeran- jans was used up by the Germans in twelve separate attempts Monday to storm the French position narth of Thiaumont. From this position the French flanking fire prevents the enemy from advancing on Vaux Plateau. No result having been at- tained by nightfall, fresh troops were Yrought up and an attempt was made to turn the position from the south- west. After a desperate struggle a fcoting was obtained in some aof the trenches on Hill No. 321, half a mile ‘west of Thiaumont and a mile east of Bras. No effort was made to increase this amdvantage yesterday, owing probably to the losses on Monday, which, ac- cording to prisoners, were excep- tionally heavy. A man belonging to the Sixteenth Bavarian® Infantry stated that his regiment had lost nearly a third of its effectiveness. Artillery Still Hammering. A violent artillery engagement took place last night in the vicinity of Vaux, on the Verdun front.

Besides marching himself and chen reviewing the parade, the president | had prepared an address on “Amer- | ica First,” to be delivered in the af- ternoon at an open air meeting south of the White House. | Washington was brilliantly decorat- ed for the occasion. It was a hg day, for under an executive order is- sued by the president, all government employes were excused from work and many stores were closed. The cele- bration was planned in part as a re- sponse to a proclamation issued by the president calling upon the people | of the nation to celebrate Flag day this | year with special ceremonies. The parade was designed as a strictly non-partisan affair. Volun- teeing to participate in it were em- ployes of many stores and shops, men- bers of patriotic, philanthropic, re- ligious and social organizations, many of the city’s leading business men, cabinet members, judges, school chi dren and members of the senate and house, There were many floats empha- sizing preparedness. Other Presidents “Too Busy.” President Wilson decided to set a precedent by marching on foot during the entire length of the parade. For- mer Presidents Roosevelt and Taft also had been invited, but found it im- possible to participate. Beginning at the peace monument, near the capitol building, the line of march passed/the post office and tre; ury department buildings and then reached the White House where a re- viewing stand, draped with American flags had been erected. There the pro- gram provided that the president should leave the head of the parade and enter the stand with the members of the executive committee. To control the, crowds, including visitors from Philadelphia, Baltimote, Richmond and other nearby cities, the ‘Washington police force had called for aid from soldiers from Fort Myer, Va., and marines and sailors from the navy yard here. Regular Military Barred. No regular military organizations | were permitted to march because Sec- retary Baker and Secretary Dan thought it would be improper for pro- fessional soldiers or sailors to parti- cipate. The national guard of the District of Columbia, the Washing- ton High School Cadets and several other volunteer military bodies were assigned to prominent places. | Secretaries Baker, Daniels and Houston were out of the city at- tending the democratic national con- | vention at St. Louis but other mecm- | bers of the cabinet agreed to march at the head of the officials and em- ployes from their departments. While no government employes were ordered to turn out, a large proportion of them volunteered. Many army and navy officers stationed here quictly arranged to parade in civilian clothes with the war and navy department di Chamberlain With President.

He compared the record of the present administration in the matter ¢f upbuilding sthe navy in men and in ships, and said that the record when completed wauld show vastly in favor of the democrats and in view also of what is being pravided in the navy bill now before congress the people of the country will be vinced that if the navy is to be put upon the highest plane af efficiency the democratic party is the only to do the work.

Washington, June 14.—Efforts to insert a plank in the democratic plat- form favoring a law to prohibit fed- eral judges from leaving the bench to accept elective office will be countenanced by President Ison.

Quite in contrast to the republican convention at Chicago, when more | than a score of different kinds of but- tons were worn, announcing favorite son candidates for president, there was but one button seen on the dele- gates today and that carried a likeness of President Wilson.

The other candidates may receive complimen- tary votes but if the leaders who are managing the convention can bring it about Vice President Marshall will be renominated by acclamation. Those looking for clear weather for the convention were a bit disappoint- ed to learn that conditions were un- certain. There was, however, one thing virtually certain and that was that it was warm enough to make the closely packed crowd in the Colisaum swelter. Plenty of Brass Bands.

Wilsh, former chairman of the federal industrial relations committee, to Senator Stone, who will be chairman of the resolutions com- mittee. The proposed plank also de- clares the right of labor unions to organize. “We demand the fullest encourage- ment,” it reads, “both in administra- tive law and in the judicial process of union labor. To make this declara- tion effective, we point out that today in the past the power of courts other legal processes has been used against the rights of the workers to associate themselves in labor unions. We condemn these practices as being in violation of the spirit, at least of the federal law securing to the workers the legal right of volun- tary association, “We denounce the practice which prevails in no other civilized country, i of permitting private interests both to employ the state and national sol- diers and to employ armed guards und detectives to crush out unions, which are organized to promote the industrial interests of the wage workers. “We denounce particularly in this connection the importation from one state to another of such armed guards and of machine guns, armored cars, motor cars and the like.

For the pleasure of crit- icising a democratic president, are they willing to read out of the re- publican party, the greatest men the republican party ever had?

He pointed out that the made four years ago that a democrati administration would liberate the na- tion from the chains of industrial tyranny has been carried out.
