WAsHIN TON, D. G., July 27.-
There IS excellent authority from
members OF his own party which boil
sters up the oft=repeated story that,
should 4. u. Hodges failsto take the
measure Of congressman-at large
Howard Sutherland; he will be
prompted soifered a job by President
Wilson, which will be equal in emolu-
ments and as near eaualsin dignity
and honor as the sinesnre lie felin-
cufshed at AIorgantown to help the
party bosses ditch Beall and Depue.
That position paid him $4,000 per
annum, with numerous little .favors
on the side. isi
Interchangeable Sasi to Hodges flu
ture were made In that period Of
hesitation when the nominee OF tile
bosses was plunge deep into the pro-
foundest meditation trying with all
his might to find ont who handed
him the nomination, why it was Civ
enhim, and other equally as amusing
fictions-all this according to! what
statements he gave out for public
consumption.
As q matter of fact II. E. was not
at all mystified about his nomina-
tion. He knew many days before it
happened that IL was going to9hap-
pen, and no Barkis was ever more
willing. Here and I'm Fairmont he
had conferred with the perpetrators
about II, and was as i anxious about
the success OF the coup as "a small
boy trying out a new mechanical toy
for the first time. Z
What the innocent aud guileless
academician was sparring for time
for was to fortif for the future: No
body in these selfish, sordid days
hates himself. and iThos. u. Hodges is
a fore-handed person with an eycsto
the main chance for Thos. E. He
had a little card up lbs sleeve, and
this It was that he played when he
gave out that bland declaration that
his nomination was 50 contrary to
expressed determinations that il
well-nigh took Ills breath away, and
he must ask the reporters and the
dear public TO await In great sus-

Washington, Dec l4--Colonel Goe-

zone, today reiterated his request that
two torpedo boat destroyers be sent
to canal zone waters to prevent vio-
lation Of neutrality through the mis-
use Of wireless and telegraph in se-
curing supplies Of belligerent vessels
Because of the confidential nature OF
Colonel Cocktails dispatch, Secretary
Garrison declined to make it public.
He issued this statement:
"The substance OF the dispatch is
that in Colonel Goethals Judgment the
misuse of radio communications with
in canal waters and the prevention Of
the misuse Of these waters as a base
of supplies require the presence of
swift moving ships Of the variety
mentioned.
"Since the questions involved re-
quire the consideration of the state
department and the navy department
as well as my own, have taken the
matter up with the other departments
and as soon as the requirements arc
fully ascertained. proper action wiz
be taken to meet them
Secretary Garrison declined to dis
cass the situation in the canal zone
or to Indicate which Of the beIliger-
ents was violating the neutrality OF
the United States. It is known, how
ever, that the Australian collier NAL
lima, which recently left Balboa with

Reports reaching here today from the
front state that the operations of Rus

successes of which were announced
last week, have now resulted in a de-
cisive victory, after having pierced the
German front beyond Ciechanow and
Prasnlsz. The Russian success on this
front according to the advices, has
been clinched by wide swinging
movement of the advancing Russian
left on the main highway from Piock
to Mlawa, concluding in a heavy cav
airy engagement at Jurominetna.

Russian successes of this nature
would have three important results
The immediate pressure north of War
saw would be relieved and the German
threat against the railroad lines lead
ing east from the city would be ar
rested.
Russian troops on the right of the
Vistula river would be freed to seek
crossing and endanger the position
Of the left wing Of the German army

will now be able to straighten their
