ENGLISH EDITOR
ON i. s.
Says Preparedness Will Make
America the Savior of Eu-
rope-EIection Is
Important.

London. June 19.-Q:53 a. m.)-"The
preparedness issue in America means
that the greatest power on the ace Of
the globe has come into the world sys-
tenn to secure herself against war and
the effects of war" says Alfred G..
Gardiner, editor of the Daily News in
a two column editorial in that news
paper today.
$50 far as the United States is con-
cerned the forthcoming presidential
election is the most momenteous since
lincoln was chosen. So far as the world
is concerned it is imcomparably more
momenteous because it is to decide
what America stands for in regard to
the future of the world. And with that
decision not the interests of America,
alone, but the interests of Europe and
of the whole earth are bound up.
"The underlying ~watchword Of the
preparedness issue which is sweeping
the United States is the idea that the
power of America should be used to de-
liver humanity from the tolls in which
1t has been enmasked by the past; that
it should be the weapon of a new dis
pensation and that affairs of men shall
henceforth be subject to the arbitra-
ment, not of force but Of justice.
1.-The sword which America is forg-
ing will be used not to war, but to make
war on war to lay the foundation of the
world security. 1t means that America
viii be the savior of Europe"

ENDS
ISSUES ARE MADE
Campaign to Be Waged on
Question of Pacific DipIo-
macy as Against Pacific
ForcefuIness.

ST. Louis, June 1.-THE democratic
terday by adopting the platform by ac-
clamation, and the city today virtually
was depopulated of delegates. The
final hours Of the convention were
marked by a sharp fight OF the suf-
frage plank when Governor Ferguson,
of Texas, sought to AVE adopted a
minority report against suffrage. The
matter was put to a vote and the con-
Vention sustained the resolutions com
mittee by a vote of $751; to 1S1 ".
Here in tabloid form is the summari-
zation of the 1876 democratic situation
at the close Of h convention, as made
by the foremost democrats of the coun-
try:
Broadly, the democratic cam
paign will advocate a pacific diplo-
macy with resort to force only in
paign will advocate a policy of
vigor and force, peaceful except
when rights are invaded.
1t is a guess which will more appeal
to the voter and will depend on how
Wilson and Hughes as personalities
strike the voters.
When the democrats assembled here
at the opening of the week many Of
them were a%pathetic because of disaf-
lc1lich Will VIC atlllIIllSlI dtloIl.
To some. extent this gloom and apa-
thy have been dispelled SO far as dem
ocrats who attended the convention
are concerned.
Glynn's speech as temporary chair
man, amounting to a defense of the
president for keeping the country out
Of war, and at the same time with
punch and aggression in it, has done
much to hearten the delegates.
Most of them go home with their
fighting clothes on" though there is
deep seated resentment in the national
committee because Of the absolute
domination of the convention from,
Washington and the disposition of the
president and his lieutenants to treat
the old wheelhorses as ciphers.
The plank aimed at German-Ameri-
cans is regarded by the ablest puliti-
political standpoint, and likely to cost
more votes than it will gain.

London. June 19.-The chief gain of
ground carried by the Russians during
the past "a hours was or the Aus
trlan center, which, up to now, had
held comparatively firm. The Rus
slams claim to be breaking this resist
ance. h main contest has been on

the river Stripa. Here the Russians are
declared to have overthrow the Aus
trian army n taken 5000 prisoners.
For the time being, the rapid move
ment on the wings and the cavalry dash
In Nolhynia toward the kovel junction
seem to nave slackened somewhat. The
morning newspapers today print only
brief specials from P~etrograd and some
OF these given evidence of considerable
delays in Geographic transmission A
possible explanation Of these delays is
given IN a dispatch from the Daily
Telegraph's P~etrograd correspondent,
who says:
TT is likely that the course of events
will become a little obscured during the
next few days, for much depends upon
the secrecy of the explanation of the
m~aneuvers for which the Russians have
now got free play"
a semiofficial commentary published
in Petrograd yesterday says:
The absence from the official COM
munications of the names of the places
occupied or the directions taken by
General Brussiloff's army do not mean
any retardition in his advance. On the
contrary, his Togress continues with
out intermission The broad corridor
formed by our break through in the
direction of Lutsk continues to widen
and is assuming an enveloping char
acter in relation to the enemy'S flank.
The advance, however, cannot go On
Indefinitely, for the element of unex-
p~ectedncss. to which was due much Of
its early success, cannot be maintained

must be made for removing the wound
ed and prisoners, for bringing up fresh
supplies, and for other work necessary
in the freshly elongated lines of COM
m~unication.
"Moreover, the immediate aim of the
Russian aggression is not to recapture
certain towns or areas, but has in view
the destruction of the vital gam Of
the enemy's military power, which are
his armies. Our success in this re-
spect could not LAY a more eloquent
expression than the growing list OF
prisoners"
