The forward drive of the Russian armles in Volhynia, Galicia and Buko- wina continues with apparently un- diminished successes. From the Pri. pet marshes southward to Czernowitz the forces of General Brusiloff, sac- cording to reports from Petrograd, are throwing back counter-attacks and are advancing steadily against the Aus- trian armies. In thirteen days, the Russians have captured almost '170,- 000 men and immense stores of war booty, says the Russian war office. Battles southeast of Lutsk, between Kozin and Tarnovka, and northwest of Buczacz have brought further suc- cesses to the Russian arms. In an action on the Pluichevka river, south- east of Lutsk, more than 5,000 men were' captured after the attacking Russians had forded the river. The fighting continues northwest of Buc- 2acs, where the Germans are cooperat- ing with t Austro-Hungarians but the Russians report the capture here thus far of six thousand men from the Teutonic allles. Attemots bf the Germans and Au: trians to take the offensive on man: sectors of the long ffont were re- lsed, according to Petrograd.

He expects to consult with his family as to ar- rangements for a Summer home and probably will spend some time work- ing on the speech he is to make when formally notified of his nomination. Prior to the nominee’s departure, it was given out at his headquarters that plans were under way to estab- lish the Hughes Alllance in cities throughout the country. This is the so-called _non-partisan organization which in 1908 .worked for Mr. Hughes election as governor of New York and which has been revived. GOVERNOR HOLCOMB WOULD ACCEPT RENOMINATION Willing to Be Drafted, but Will Make No Canvass for the Honor. Hartford, Conn. Jine 16.—In a re- cent speech at Stamford certaln ut- terances made by Gov. Holcomb were construed by some as indicating that he would retire from public life at the end of his present term. Inquiry was made today concerning such intention. The: governor replled: It the republi can convention renominates me I will accept for another term. As I said before I am willing to be drafted but X wil ‘make no canvass for the nomination or do anything ule ‘whether these orders would be changed but the general h'npreu‘lon prevailed clash, however, * General Pershing would avoid taking any step that might lead to serious consequences until he had communi- cated with Wazhington. Late tonight the war department had no word from him or from any other source to con- firm the report of General Trevino's action. Recent troop movements in Chihua- hua state have led officials here to fear that the de facto commanders were preparing for some hostile move. HUGHES WEARY FROM WEEK OF POLITICAL ACTIVITY Returned Without Knowledge of Party Peace Negotiations. ‘Washington, June -16—Charles E. Hughes, weary from a week of strenu- ous political activity in New York, re- turned to his home liere tonight for the week end. He retired immediately be- fore hearing of George W, Perkins announcement regarding peace nego- tiations between the republicans and the progressives. The nominee's apparent desire to bring progressives and republicans into accord is understood to have been the theme of discussion in several confer- ences in New York ~between Mr. Hughes and some of the progressive leaders, notably Everett Coiby of New Jersey, Oscar S. uss and 8. S. Mc- Clure,s who called at the Hughes head- quarters there. To other callers the nominee has voiced the sentiment that the interests of both progressives and republicans demanded that differences: ehould be subordinated and harmony restored before the actual work of CAMDAIEN 8 DeGUN. +.~ 4 5 : mooigh of AL STATE ENCAMPMENT -OF- SPANISH WAR VETERANS.

New York, June 16—George W.|Buffalo, progressi: Perkins, series nounced that negotiations way looking to a “restoration of the “More Haste—Less Speed” There was a time in business when it was deemed “clever” to get 2 customer’s money quickly and hurry him away. Business was conducted on the principle that a “customer’s eyes ‘were his market.” It he made a mistake in selécting goods or was led into buying an inferlor article there was no redress. , The man or woman of today who finds a purchase is not satisfac- tory, or as represented, has the purchase money refunded. The pro- gressive merchant has found that it pays to give his customers time and the widest latitude in making selections. It he hurries them, or they ;make too hasty selection, his sales may not prove satisfactory. Experlence proves that the careful buyer is. usually the worth- while buyer, for careful people are usually successful people. They are the ones who know how to utilize thelr powers. They are the owners of well-managed homes and the supporters of the reliable newspaper which goes into those homes. In Norwich and its environs The Bulletin goes into such homes.

Settlement ‘Through Mediation. Leaders of the railroads and the men were -reluctant to_issue official state- ments today touching on the proba- bility of & compromise, but informal interviews indicated that both sides looked for a settlement through medi. ation, under the Newlands' act. The railroads, the employes believe, may drop at the last moment ‘their firm stand for the elimination of arbitrate the questions of hours and overtime. May Compromise on Nine Hour Day. Rather than precipitate a general strike, brotherhood leaders intimated, the men might be satisfied with a nine hour day and time and a guarter overtime, inktead of the Sight nour day and time and a half for overtime demands.

The fombyl&lflofBBS%hlSl‘/;Afh Had Told the Convention That President. St. Louls, Mo., June 16.—The demo- cratic national convention finished its work today by adopting the platform exactly as approved by President Wilson and submitted by the resolutions committee, including the plank on Americanism and that favor- ing woman suffrage, but not until the harmony of its three days’ session had been disturbed with a row over the suffrage plank. No voice was raised against the vig- orous declarations of the Americanism plank, but at one time it looked as if lank bad been idet. Af- Montana bad told the convention that President Wilson himself considered it vital to party success, however, it was voted into the platform by a ballot of 838 1-2 to 181 1-2. The entire piatform then was adopted without roll call, Suffrage Plank as Adopted. As it went into the platform ' the suffrage plank stands: ““We favor the extension of the fran- chise to the women of this country, state by state, on ibe same terms as to_the men.” The women suffrage leaders consid- ered it a much more favorable decla- ration than they got from the repub- lcan convention at _Chicago; they threw all their force behind it and won the support of the administration lead- ers, ‘who were found fighting for them when danger threatened.
