Heavy fighting is in progress over virtually the entire eastern front from the Gulf of Riga to Bukowina, a dis- tance of between 600 and 700 miles. From Riga to the Jasiolda river, north- west of the Pripet marsh region, the Germans have taken the _offensive egainst the Russians probably in an effort to divert the attention of the Russians, who are in the second week of their drive against the Austro-Hun- garlan and Germans from the Pripet marshes southward to Bukowina. Russians Hold Germar Attacks. On_all sectors of the northern line the Russians have successfully with- stood the German _onslaughts and driven the attacks forces back. They have even gained ground against them north of the Tirul ground against them of Riga, says Petrograd. In southwest Russia, in the region of Lutsk, fresh advances against the Austro-Hungarians _are reported by the Russian war office, as likewise is the case across the border ' through Fast Galicia. In the soutbern part of this region the Russians are near- ing Czernowitz, the capital of the Aus- trian crownlana of Bukowina. Austrians Continue to Give Ground. Althoigh the Austrians at numerous rolntl are vigorously counter-attack- ng, the only place where the Rus- ‘slane have been forced to give ground before them was near Bobulintze, north of Buczacz in Galicia, where the Aus- trians were reinforced by German 8. The Russians captured here by the Teutonic allies exceeded 1,300. ‘Teh total men made prisoners by the Russians since their offensive began ‘has grown to more than 114.000. No Change in Lines Near Verdun, Northeast of Verdun the Germans ‘with heavy effectives have thrown successive attacks against the French positions north of Thiaumont, but all the assaults were repulsed with se- rious losses. The heavy bombard- ment by the Germans in this region ex- tended from Thiaumont eastward to the west and south of Fort Vaux and to the French second line positions of Four Souville and Fort Tavannes, about three miles northeast of Ver- dun. Artillery Duels in Belgium. On the. remainder of the front in France and Belgium there have been only artillery duels and sapping op- erations, except in Champagne, where Berlin deports the penetration of French positions and the capture of more than one hundred men and four machine guns. Italians Now Moving Forward. South and southeast of Trent, the Ttallans are continuing to drive back the Austrians, according to Rome. Gains have been made by the Italians in the Arsa valley and the Pasubo sec- tor, along the Posina-Astico line and southwest of Asiago. . Further.north, in the Sugna valley, fresh progress toward the Maso_/Torrent is recorded for King Victor Emmanuel’s men, who repelled two counter-attacks near Scurelle. In the Lagarina valley the Austrians are heavily bombarding the Italians .on Conl Zugna. Russian Cavalry Force Annihilated by ¢ Turks. A Russians cavalry force of 1,000 men operating between the Caucasus and Mesopotamia fronts has been an- nihilated by the Turks, who alse ~aptured a large amount of war ma- terial, according to Constantinople. On the remainder of the front in Aslastic Tuorkey there is no change In the sit- uation. The masking of important Bulga- rian movements is belleved to be con- nected with the closing of the Bul- gar-Rumanian froptier to passenger | and merchandise traffic, says an un- official despatch from Bucharest, THREE LIFE TERM MURDERERS PARDONED By State Board of Pardons After Hearing at Wethersfield.

New York, June 12 —Representa- tives of the chief railroads of the work when an adjournment of their conference was taken late today. Up- on the detailed explanation tomorrow by the rail of their counter or “contingent” proposition, it was pre- dicted by A. B. Garretson, president of the Order of Railroad Conductors, would depend the future attitude of the railroad men, even to the point of ordering a strike vote among the 350,000 members of the unions. Garretson's prediction was prompt- ed by the fact that during the day the conference suddenly was halted when the railroads’ ‘‘contingent” proposi- tion, tentatively granting the de- manded eight hour day, but refusing double compensation for double ser- vice, was rejected. Mr, Garretson and the other broth- erhood leaders stated that if the con- ference breaks up tomorrow they will report back to the men and a vote on the general strike will be taken. Then they will return to the railroads and renew their demands. If they are re- fused the general strike will be called. Elisha Lee, chairman of the railroad managers and. of the conference, ad- mitted tonight that the situation was serious but was hopeful for the es- tablishment of a middle sround that would permit the continuation of the conference.

Washington, June 12.—Independent oil jobbers testified today before the federal trade. commission that the Standard Oil company had demor- alized the oil industry and, through failure of the units of the company to compete in each other’s fields, had jeopardizea_the existence of inde- pendent jobbers and refiners. They declared “that arbitrary high prices set by the Standard Oil company in Ohio and eastern states had diverted the flow of oil from the independent refineries of the middle west unti] the independent jobbers of the west, where a lower retail price is sét by the Standard Oil company of Indiana, were no longer able to buy crude oil at prices witich would permit them to compete with the Standard company.

PROPOSED COMPROMISE 3 OF IRISH QUESTION Ulster Men Autho! Sir Edward Carson to Proceed With Negotiations. Belfast, June 12—The Ulster Un- ionist council, while showing no en- thusiasm for the proposed honorable compromise, at a meeting today pre- sided over by Sir Edward Carson, au- thorized Sir Edward to proceed with the negotiations. The attitude of the members was that they were willing to make sacrifices in order, as the government desires, to procure a set- tlement which will strengthen the empire and aid in winning the war. The meeting was private, but a statement of the proceedings showed that the counties Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal protested against sep- aration from the rest of Ulster but agreed to abide by the decision of the other six Ulster counties.

St. Louis, July 12.—Democratic lead- ers virtually all agree that the coming presidential campaign will be mark with inspiring oratory, a clash of in- tellects between President Wilson and Mr. Hughes, and markedly free from Ppersonalities. None of the democrats think of be- littling_the”ability of Mr. Hughes as campaigner, They have not forgotten his campaigns in New York, nor his speech in Youngstown, O., in 1908, when he opened the fight for Mr, Taft. They also realize his physical fitness to go into a four months’ campaign. To meet Mr, Hughes.and the repub- * Mrs. Mary M.fl!n. mother of Rev.

Mr. Hughes issued no statement to- day and expects to issue none until he is formally notified of his nomina- tion. The sub-committee to _confer with him as to fixing a date for the ceremony probably will wait on him in a few days, and until then, it is un- derstood, fie will allow his telegram ta Chairman Harding of the republican national convention to stand _as . his declaration of principles withiout fur- ther comment. Plans Are Still Unsettled. Although the nominee’s plans are still unsettled as to virtually all the details of the campaign, it is likely that he will remain in New York untii June 20, when he expects to attend @ reunion of the class of '81 of Brown university at Providence.. He probably will remain there for the commence- ment exercises the following day. By that time, it is believed, his plans, in- sofar as they concern his summer res- idence and the chief details of his cam.

Throws Off Air of Reserve. To those who knew the nominee as a supreme court justice there was a marked difference in his bearing to- day. His air of studious reserve ap- parently left him with the robes of his office. His eyes sparkled with enjoyment, he had a hearty hand-clasp and a smile for every man he met, I-Dd seemed enibusiastic in his welcome of old friends who came to see him after intervals of years. “Old: Schoolmate Calls. ‘They came in droves.
