Demo Convention
Leaves Sore Spots
tFrom % Stan Correspondent. ,

Lincoln. July 2.-(Speial.) )-State
house democrats returning to the
daily grind, after attending the state
convention at Hastings, pretend to be
delighted with the result OF the con-
vention. They insist that everything
went offin a harmonious fashion and
the anti-Bryan men pretend that
everything was harmonious because
neither William J. or Brother Charles
was there to make trouble.
But with all their pretended good
feeling, there is an under-current
which idicates that the one -sidedness
Of the affair does not really mean
that everybody is satisfied.
One man this morning, though
not a state house democrat, said that
the democratic party was in mighty
hard lines when it had to submit to
the dictation Of a man like Arthur
Mullen. ut was a shame" said he,
"and will surely result in the ultimate

Though held in the western part

Healy Stirs Upa
Scene in English

London, July 2.-An exciting
scene, indicative of the strong feeling
which prevails among the Irish MEM
bers, occurred in the House of Com
mons tonight when Timothy Healy
charged the government with arrest
ing 1000 "i-nocent persons in the
course Of the Irish rebellion and
treating them with a cruelty and fe-
rocity which even Germany has not
shown in Belgium" THE home sec
retary," he added, "by his admins
tration, has started the Sim Fein Or
ganization in Ireland and was there
fore father of the movement"
The speaker called Healy to order

The Unexpectedly swift fall OF Err

that the Turks must have removed

not anticipating such . rapid Russian
advance in such difficult country.
Turks Make Report.

ALLIES REJOICE
OYER VICTORIES
Claim to Have Captured Sever
al Important Positions On
Western Front.
LLOYD GEORGE ExULTs

London, July 1.-THE allies are
able to congratulate themselves on
another good days record with the
capture of the important positions Of
Pozieres on the western front and
Erzingan in Armenia, while the Rrs-
sian General Sakharoff, fighting on
the Slonevka river, captured another
1000 prisoners and five guns.
The British secretary for war.
David Lloyd George, in a published
statement tonight shows the impor-
tance the Germans attached to the re-
tention of Pozieres by quoting from
a German divisional order issued at
Contalmaison, July II, as follows:
Furthermore the conversion OF
villages into strong points is of the
greatest importance. Such villages
are Pozieres, Contamination and the
two, Bean and Longueval."
Secretary Lloyd George points out
that with the capture of Pozieres the
last Of these villages has fallen into
the allies hands. He further points
out that today's German claim Of the
repulse of an attack on Trones wood
must be a clerical error, as Trones
wood has been In British possession
since July IA.
Opinion Of Critics.
The opinion Of the military critic.
in London is that no positions 90
strong as the British are successfully
attacking will be found between
Pozieres and Bapaume; otherwise
they argue, the Germans would not
have risked bringing troops and guns
from the Verdun sector to defend
Pozieres and it is inferred from indi.
cations in the official dispatches that
the British are already beginning tc
establish themselves on both sides oi
the road from Pozieres to Bapaume.
As on the western front, the Ger.
mans and Austrians appear unable tc
make successful stand anywhere
