Douglas Fairbanks.

Douglas Fairbanks. in his four
teenth year on the stage, has reached
motion pictures with such success that

legitimate drama, but will confine
himself to film work in Triangle
plays under the supervision of David
w. Griffith.
In 1901 Fairbanks made his theatre
cal debut, Since then. with the sin
gle exception of a brief furry in
Wall street, he has supported the

full pieces as The Pit" "The Man of
the Hour" and '@rhe Gentleman from

 At the end of it. it might be called Thiepval Week. The British are more jubilant than at any time since the offensive began except on the Oc- casions when they broke the first line July 1 and the second line July II.

soldiers northwest of SalOniki. The Serbian losses are said to have been large. Northwest Of Saloniki the Bulgarians apparently, without Oppo- sition from the Greeks, have seized a good part of northeastern Macedonia for fifty miles along the Aegean.
 The Rulsarians now have an addi- tional frontage along the Aegean and are nearing Orfano, 50 miles north east of Saloniki, thus pressing in on the allied troop along the Struma. No allied advances are reported. Lon don reports that British aeroplanes have bombed camps south of Demir- Hissar at points recently within the Anglo-Fren, lines north of the Stru- ma.
 Italian troops are making progress at several points in the mountain re zion around Trent Rome also re- ports the repulse of Austrian coun- ter attacks in the Alps Vienna as serts that Italian attacks in the Fas- sada Alps have lessened. but Rome claims continued progress there.

THE VICTOR OVER
 COLQU|TT
German-American Counties in Texas Support Former Governor in Primary Race But to No Avail.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

DALLAS. Aug. 26.-Virtually com plete returns from practically all Texas counties in the Democratic senatorial run-off primary today gave Senator Culberson 146,5O7 as against former Governor Colquitt with S3,457. Less than thirty thousand votes re- main to be accounted for.
 A notable fact from the returns re- ceived is that the former Texas gov ernor carried practically every Ger man county in the state. It was in these sections he received his vote as to enable him to catch up on the ap- parently overwhelming majority given his opponent by the larger counties and cities.
 While one half the states votes was outstanding at ten o'clock to- night, it was said returns from the remaining counties could not ma:Irial- ly change Senator Culberson's lead. This statement was based on the knowledge of the political standing of those sections yet to be heard from.

not clear. Apparently they will not accept the reply of the executives as it has been published. but they might be willing to negotiate with it as a basis. They will meet again at 10 O. clock tomorrow morning.
 Nobody knows the attitude of con gress towards the suggested legisla- tiOn. It was pointed out tonight that there are many senators who bitterly opposed the five percent increase re- gently granted the eastern roads and criticized the commission for it's pO- sition in the case and who might be expected to oppose any proposal that would direct the commission Co grant another increase.
 The executives appear confident that public opinion will be with them in their insistence upon the principle of arbitration and their opposition Go an eight hour day.
 The executives reply will be diyid- ed into argument and statement of their position. Their statement will show that they do not accept the eight hour day with pay for ten hours as demanded by the men. that they maintain this demand really is one for an increase in wages, and that a question of wage increase is a matter of arbitration and for settle ment in no other way. lt will sug gest the creation Of a commission to arbitIate this wage question or dele gation of power to the interstate com merce commission to arbitrate. lt will make the arbitration retroactive and the roads would pledge them selves to create fund tO care for back wages if increases are approved by the arbitratOrs.
 Three things are cited by the eXecu- tives to back up their position. The first is that many of the biz shippers of the country have declared them selves opposed tO abandonment of arbitration and the eight hour day must not be granted. X second is a ftUNltllOL Nl.sl tn -4Ft IT lo Nut utti. under present conditions. would un- dermiEe discipline on the roads Co serious extent and would leave far reaching the after effects. The third Is that no matter what assurances are given they feel they cannot eN- pect a rate increase. This feeling is explained with statements that the roads have not forgotten the way they were attacked when the five percent case was up. and that they do not care to lose the position which they feel they have gained with the public by risking another attempt.
 The attitude of the executives to- night was in marked contrast tO that of few days ago. Apparently differ ences Of opinion have been swept a way and they are facing the situation with a united front and are ready for what may come.

Fighting continues on all fronts in Europe but no notable successes are chronicled. France and the region north of Saloniki have seen the most intense activity, and in both fields the initiative generally has been with the Central Powers.
 Paris and London announce the re- pulse of repeated German attacks on the Somme and Verdun fronts. Ger man efforts were especially strong about Thiepval. Guillemont and Mar epas, north of Somme, and on the right bank of the Mouse before Yer dun.
 London claims an additional Brit ish advance near the Moquet farm.

(By Review Leased Wire. !

DENVER, Aug. 26.-For the first time in his campaign MT. Hughes to- night named Theo. Roosevelt in an address. The nominee was speaking at the Auditorium here of prepared- ness. He had assailed the admins tration for calling advocates of pre- paredness nervous and excited"
 And then" MT. Hughes said, a stalwart American went through the land"
 He was interrupted by roar from the crowd. As the applause died down, the nominee continued:
 MT Roosevelt went through the land. He continued, "arousing the nation to its need; and the admins tration changed its mind over night"
 The audience applauded loudly. MT. Hughes, in his address outlined the policy for which he stands.
 ''I stand for the firm and unflinch- ing maintenance of the rights of Am erican citizens throughout the world" he said. That is a vital question. We should maintain those rights a bout which there is no cavil with the strongest nations of the world, no matter which nations they are. Am erican rights, understood, upheld, will give us peace, prosperity and good will.
 "I believe that we, as a nation, should be prepared in any emergency. That is not militarism. You couldn't carry a corporal's guard for militar- ism; you could carry the whole coun- try for adequate preparedness.
 "I stand for a businesslike admin istration of government and for the employment in public life of men qualified by training and fitness for public office"
 Mir. Hughes reiterated his declara- tion for world court. He devoted some time to his declaration for protective tariff.
