Russians Pushed Back

Official announcement in Austria
Hungary claims progress for the Teu-
tonic counterbffensive in Volhynia.
The danger of a Russian advance into
Transylvania as a result of the over
running of Bukowina by General Brusl-
lofts forces is also declared to have
been passed.
The latest Teutonic success in the
Volhynian district was the capture of
Linewka, near the river Stokhod,
which means that the Russians have
been pushed back across that river.
Linewka is twenty-three miles south
east of Kovel, the railway junction
which has been the objective of the
Russians in their drive.

In constant touch by long distance
phone with the president while the
platform was being put together. Mr..
Wilson won his point. 6,
The platform contains about %
planks and 1000 words. It indorses
Wilson's policies, praises the federal
reserve banking system, Says monopoly
has been strangled, agrees that equal
suffrage is right, speaks of the income
tax, claims protection for labor, points
with pride to postal extension and
profits, lauds the Underwood tariff act

Life Above Property Value.
1t calls for development Of our sea-
shipping business, promises adequate
national preparedness, declares we
must work for world peace, asserts
there must be freedom Of the seas,
places the value of human life above
property value-this last to those who
demand we should fight as quickly for
detained American mails as for Ameri-
can lives destroyed by belligerents.
That American Plank.
Here Is the Americanism plank:
The part that the United States win
play in the new day of international re-
lationships which now 10 upon as will
depend upon our preparation and our
character. The Democratic party rec
ognizes the assertion and triumphant
demonstration Of the individuality and
coherent strength Of the nation,
therefore, az the supreme issue of this
day In which the whole world faces the
crisis Of manifold change. 1t summons
all men, Of whatever origin or creed,
who would count themselves Americans
to join in making clear to all the world
the unity and consequent power Of
America.
This is an issue Of patriotism. To
faint 1t with partisanship would be to
defile 1t. In this day of test America
must show itself, not a nation Of par
tisans, but nation Of patriots. There
is gathered here in America the best
blood, the industry and the genius of
the whole world, the elements of
great race and magnificent society to
be melted into a mighty and splendid
nation.

that has for its object the advance
ment Of the interest Of a foreign
power, whether such object is promot-
ed by intimidating the government, q
political party, or representatives of
the people. or which is calculated and
tends to divide our people into antag-
Onistic groups and thus to destroy that
complete agreement and solidarity of
the people and that unity Of sentiment
and national purpose so essential to
the perpetuity of the nation and its
free institutions.
Condemn All Alliances.
We condemn all alliances and com.
binations of individuals In this coun-
try, Of whatever nationality or descent,
who agree and conspire together for
the purpose Of embarrassing or weak
ening our government or Of improperly
influencing or coercing our public rep
resentatives in dealing or negotiating
with any foreign power. We charge
that such conspiracies among lin
tied number exist and have been insti-
gated for the purpose Of advancing the
interests Of foreign countries to the
prejudice and detriment of our own
country.
We condemn any political party
which, in view Of the activity Of such
conspirators, surrenders Its integrity
or modifies its policy.

Of getting the material at any price.
Nearly all farm implements and ma
chimes are seasonable-thati is, they
are built to be sold in time to meet
the requirements of the farmer in
caring for particular crops. 1t is
plain that the latter must have his
tools promptly, esle his efficiency will
be greatly impaired, not to mention
his livelihood.
The steel mills are so engrossed IN
supplying material for Unfortunately
profitable war munitions that they
display little disposition to meet even
the barest needs of the domestic
manufacturer. Possibly it is only
human that they should thus yield to
the temptation to slight their old

WAR ORDERS HIT HOME INDUS
TRY

Manufacturers of farm implements
and machinery are trying desperately
to persuade the steel fabricators to
supply them with enough material to
keep their factories under normal op-
Grafton But the steel people are too
busy. They are so crowded with
war business at prices hitherto incon-
ceivable that the wants of their old
customers seemingly do not much in
terest them.
1t is not that the manufacturers
are advancing any moral or legal
reasons why the steel mills should
not fill the foreign orders for NUM-
tions, if they can do so without seri-
ously injuring domestic industry.
That, however, is just what the steel
producers are doing. The inordin-
ate profits that the belligerents are
offering for quick deliveries of war
supplies has led the steel men to
neglect the American manufacturer.
The latter believes 1t is time that the
consideration of exceedingly high
profits should yield to that of domes-
tic welfare.
What is hitting the manufacturers
Of farm operating equipment hard
now, If the behavior of the steel fab
ricators is not corrected, will soon
be hitting the users Of that equip
ment, and citizens at large. The I'm
plement and Tractor Trade Journal
comes out with information that re-
veals a serious state of the steel
market. According to this authority,
a situation has arisen because of the
war abroad that has begun to work
almost unbearable hardships on the
implement manufacturers who de-
pend upon the steel mills for most of
their material.
It would be difficult to exaggerate
the danger lying in the steel problem
now confronting the American farm
implement and machinery manufac-
turing industry, which more directly
serves the public than any other
class of manufacturers, for it sup
plies those tools and machines to
farmers with which they seed, culti-
vate and harvest their crops.
II the problem involved only price,
declares the Implement and Tractor
|Journal, Il would be eoRsidsgab,y
simplined, but Is e largely . matter

One Of the fears that rushed through
the hotel corridors, wild-eyed and with
streaming hair, was that an effort
would be made to insert prohibition
plank In the platform. Men who could
not secure mention in any other way
seized upon this pretext for getting
their names into the papers, and the
country now knows how stubbornly
they would resist the adoption Of any
plank which contained even a casual
reflection upon the business Of the be-
nevolent brewer, the philanthropic dis
tiller and the liberal-handed vendor Of
intoxicating liquors.
It was false alarm. Careful search
failed to reveal anyone with such evil
designs upon the harmony Of the con-
vention.
