an English authority today.
Twenty thousand Germans were

Paris reported today. 1t is estimated
that the French losses have been
very heavy.
Throughout yesterday the Germans
charged ceaselessly, throwing one di-
vision after another in the assault
on Dead Mans hill with machine like
precision. So well did the French
sustain the shock that only at adj
vanced positions did the Germans sue

most instances they were driven out
by immediate counter attacks.

The German assault on the defense
of Verdun is still centered on the all
important key position of Dead Mans

from Corbeaux wood, the Germans

From every congressional district in
Kansas came poStmasters and federal
appointees who scorned the ideas ad-
vanced by the new pilgrims of har-
mony. In the main the federal crowd
came with but a single purpose. That
was to put through the Thompson
slate as they understood it They were
given to understand that the Thomp-
son program meant both Thompson
and Orr. So the postmasters stood
by their guns

the Thompson program was framed
and handed to the convention in an

Trouble for Orr started when the
forces led by Hodges and Farrelly
sought to secure the withdrawal of
John Z. Wagner of Larned as a candi-
date for national committeeman. 1t
was contended that Wagner in the
early analysis of the vote, held the
balance of power in the convention.
Wagner's withdrawal was sought on
the grounds that real harmony can
didate should be secured. Hodges
and Farrelly swung their support to
E. E. Murphy of Leayenworth, chair
man of the state committee, and a man
with a strong following among Orr
delegates.
Murphy offered to make the race
with Wagner out of the running. He
would not, however. become an active
candidate in the field with Orr, Sapp
and Wagner. So the fight centered

 THE ROYAL THEATRE
'"The Red Widow" Is Para mount Feature at the
 Royal Theatre.

In "The Red Widow" a Paramount feature being shown at the Royal to- day and Wednesday, thoroughly amusing production of the celebrated stage success, John Barrymore. pos sesses the greatest opportunity he has ever had since becoming a photoplay star, for demonstrating beyond all doubt his right to be called the fore most comedian of the screen today. In the role of Cicero Hannibal Butts. a corset salesman travelling in Russia, who is caught in a number of comic predicaments involving the Russian secret police and innumerable nihil- ists including the fascinating Red Widow. John Barrymore is scream ingly humorous in his efforts to clear himself in the eyes of the government and more principally, his wife. How his difficulties are at last ended is un- folded in the typical and inimitable Barrymore manner.
