II was 11:15 when the Kiefer con.
vention got under way, with the hall
about half-fllled. The majority of the
Leland delegates were massed before
the entrance, trying to reach de-
cision as to their course.
Thomas z. Newton called the con-
vention to order and introduced Sher.
IN Oakman as chairman after a brief
speech In which he dwelt on "har.
mony," and which brought a few
smiles. Raymond p. Van Sychle,
temporary secretary, read the call and
the business Of organizing the con.
vention proceeded without incident.

lowing committee on credentials:

Presumably the situation in the south
east Is more puzzling that at hrst was

thorities have decided to try their troops
again in the Russo German northwestern

early in the war the Slavs suffered their
first great defeat amid the marshes OF
East Prussia. The experience thus
gained doubtless accounts for the fact
that the new advance Is not through tho
East Prussian glacial bogs, but Is along
the Russian roads some miles 10 the

and given out by the C-..cial German

following:
"All of the Russian prisoners of war
