Hughes Declares For
Federal Suffrage Amendment
By Associated Press

New York, Aug. /. - Charles E.
Hughes to-day declared for an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution pro-
viding for woman suffrage. Mr..
Hughes views on the subject were
made public in a letter he has written
to Senator Sutherland, of Utah.
Mr.. Hughes letter to Senator George
Sutherland was in reply to telegram
received from the senator asking the
nominee to define his personal position
with regard to the equal suffrage Fed
eral amendment. Mr.. Hughes replied
as follows:
Your telegram has been received.
In my answer to the notification 1 did
not refer to the proposed Federal
amendment relating to woman suf-
fraSe, as this was not mentioned in
the platform. I have no objection,
however, to stating my personal views.
AS l said in my speech, I think it to
be most desirable that the question
of woman suffrage should be settled
promptly. The question is of such a
nature that it should be settled for
the entire country.
My view is that the proposed
amendment should be submitted and
ratified and the subject removed from
political discussion"
Mr.. Hughes was asked to-day on the
reception given him when he delivered
his speech of acceptance. He said:
ITO my mind It was most crafty
ing reception. 1t seemed to me that it
showed most conclusively that there
was no misunderstanding with respect
to the issues of the campaign. We
have had an inadequate .administra-
ton and 1 think the American people
know it,"

RUSS THREATEN
TO WRECK WHOLE
GALICIAN LINE
Drive Attaining Such Momen-
tum That Teutonic Defenses
Are Seriously Menaced
FLEEING FROM KOVEL
Germans Are Removing Heavy
Guns and Supplies; Evacuate
Another City

The Russian drive on the eastern
front is attaining such momentum that
it is threatening to wreck the entire
Teutonic defensive line south of the
Pinsk marshes, according to unofficial
reports through Rome to-day.
Petrograd dispatches last night
credited the Russians unler General
Kaledines with having crossed the
river Stokhod in their advance toward
Kovel, the key to the German positions
in Volhynia, along a 27-mile front be-
tween Kovel-Sarny and Kovel-Rovno
railways. To-days unofficial dis
patches report the removal by the Ger
mans of their heavy guns and supplies
from Kovel and the evacuation OF
Vladimir Volynski, 80 miles to the
southwest, which also is threatened
by the Russian advance westward from
Lutsk.
To the southwark, in Galicia, the
success of General Sakharoff in cap
turing Brody is declared in unothcial
advices to have been followed up by
a Cossack raid which destroyed rail-
ways behind the Austrian army
threatening it with development.
No Damage in Air Raid
Berlin dispatches express confidence
that the Teutonic resistance in the Ko-
vel region will withstand the Russian
pressure, the new front to which the
Germans and Austrians have with
drawn west of the bend in the Stokhod
being 25 miles shorter than the old
one and considered far easier to de-
fend.
The Turkish troops are arriving on
the eastern front, presumably in read
~
stroke against General Kaledines
which General Won Linsingen is plan
ming.
Several Zeppelins and a number of
aeroplanes are said to have taken
part in last nights air raid on the east
