FALL OF KOVEL NEAR
Russian Troops Occupy Puleyiche,
Twenty-Four Miles East of 1m-
portant Fortress

Paris, July 10i.-French.. troops,
pressed closer to the railway town
of Peronne, the immediate objective
of their great offensive, in furious
fighting south of the Somme last
night, capturing a German line OF
trenches in the region of Barleux
southwest of Peronne.
At the same time, the French
broke out with an attack in the
Champaign region, capturing Ger;
man trenches west of Butte le Mes
nil on a 5OO-yard front after thee
attacks.
London, July 10-The eastern
front continues TO overshadow the
western from the spectacular view:
point, the Russian forces going from
success to success. Not only has Gen.
eral Letchitzky, in the south, oc-:
cupied the railroad junction at Della
tyn, west of Kolomea, thus cutting
off General Won Bothmer from his
supply base, but General Brusiloff;
in the north, is making surprising ad-
vances on both sides of the Kovel
railway toward the Stockhod river.
Last nights Russian commurica-
tion reports the enemy forces IN
this region retiring in great disor-
der, and adds that the Russians have
occupied Puleviche, which is about
"a miles to the east Of Kovel, while
apparently the Russians are already
across the Stokhod river somewhere
in the region of Janovka.
German possession of Baranovichi,
and Kovsl are absolutely essential II.
she is to retain her hold over the in
vadede parts of Poland and Litrua-
MIA, but it is considered likely that il
is ony matter of few days before
the Russians will be in possession OF
Kovel, which would compel Won Lin
retirement from the Lutsk
salient.
German official and unofficial dis
patches reflect anxiety over the Rus
sian advance as being greater than
over the Anglo-French offensive,
which the Germany military critics
contend will not interfere with the
operations against Verdun. Major
Moraht and other German critics ex-
press surprise at the extent and per-
sistence of the Russian offensive on
a large scale without reinmunition.
1t is reported from Rome that at
recent council of German and Aus
trian marshals, Won Hindenburg oe-
clared that it would be impossible to
attempt new offensive on large
scale without reinforcements of at
least quarter of a million men.
The news of yesterday shows lit
tie change in the relative positions on
the western front. Berlin admits the
loss of Hardecourt.
The Roumanian Government, ac-
cording to Berne dispatch, has de-
clined an invitation from the German
and Austrian governments to par
ticipate in conference of the Dam
ube powers.
,Petrograd, July 10-Important
gains by the Russians are announced
in the War Office statement. In
Southern Galicia the railway town Of
Delatyn has been captured. In the
drive toward Kovel the Russians have
taken two more villages. On the
lower Stokhod the Teutonic forces
are retiring in great disorder.

Republican Leaders Al,
nounce They Will Put
Up Candidate
OFFER TEMPTATIONS
Glass and Tucker Reject Overtures-
Democrats Manifest No Uneaslress
Over Matter g

Washington, July 49, Virginia
Republican leaders, after series
of conferences with county leaders,
announced yesterday that Repub-
lican candidate for the United States
Senate in opposition to Senator
Claude A. Swanson, the Democratic
nominee, will be placed in the field
this summer, Representative Bas-
com Slemp Republican State chair
man refuses to say whether or not
the Swanson opponent will be dyed
in-thc-wool Republican or an inde-
pendent Democrat, but promises that
the candidate will be big man.
During the last three months Re-
publican leaders have made over
lures to Representative Carter Glass
and Harry St. George Tucker to run
as independent candidates, promis-
ing them $4,000 Republican votes.
Both Mr.. Glass and Mr.. Tucker
spurned any such suggestion before
the proposal got very far.
Mr.. Slemp and other Republican
leaders then began to discuss the
names of several Of the big business
men of Richmond, Lynchburg and
Norfolk, with the idea that one Of
them could be prevailed upon to
make the race against Senator Swan
son. John W. Craddock, The big
shoe manufacturer of Lynchburg,
and H. w. Anderson. the Richmond
lawyer, were talked of, but it is not
learned whether or not any proposal
was ever made to either by the Re-
publican leaders.
Senator Swanson and the Demo- !
cratic leaders in Washington are
not losing sleep over the movement
to place in the field a republican
candidate for the Senate. Senator
Swanson remarks that the movement
is weak one, as the Republican
leaders have been trying for months
to get q Democrat to run and have
failed.
"rhey are so destitute Of Senator
ial timber in their own party said
the junior Virginia senator several
DAYS ago, "that they feel they must
go outside of their party to lead
their cause. The situation looks to
me as though the Republican party,
instead of becoming stronger as IS
claimed, is really growing weaker"
The determination of the Demo-
Gratis to oppose Representative,
SIemp for reelection is one cof the
factors which inspires Statewide!
opposition to the Democrats. Poli-
tical fights in the Ninth Virginia
district are costly affairs, and if
Democrat opposes Mr.. Slemp this
year it will take a goodsized bank
roll to get the vote out. Many Of
the Republican leaders do not like
Senator Swanson. The junior Sena-
tor campiagned in the Ninth district
two years ago and severely arraign-
ed Representative Slemp. These
Ninth district Republicans. there
fore, desire to cause the junior Sena-
tor as much discomfort as possible
in his fight for reelection.

GERMANS BACK
THE PRESIDENT
Republican Leader in Mil
waukee Pledge Him
Support
APPEALS TO OTHERS
Action Considered Indicative of
Course Thousands Of Other Teu-
tons Will Follow

washington, July Iva DiS DIS"'N
in the ranks of German-Amerlcan
Republicans in favor of President
! Wilson's reelection was announced
Saturday, when Senator Hustlng, or
Michigan, made public q telegram
sent the President by Gen. r. I.
Winkler, of Milwaukee, one OF the
northwest, in which he states that he
will support President Wilson and
urges all "true Americans" to do like
wise.
General Winkler's telegram is as
follows:
"Have read your New York Press
Club address with great satisfaction.
A Republican voter since 1860, |
hold in the present crisis the party
has no place. True IAmericanlsm
must stand by the man who man
fully stands at the helm. l support
your reelection.
r. -. " In h1JCh
Senator Husting's Office, in giving
out this telegram, stated that 1t
forecasts a serious division in the
ranks of the German Republicans IN
the Northwest and that President
Wilson would receive many Of these
votes, which for years had been con-
sistently Republican.
"It shows that the real citizens Of
German origin are not controlled by,
these sclf-styled leaders who are de-
CRYING the President" it was stated
at Senator Husting's Office. "Presi-
dent Wilson will receive thousands of
the so-called Gcrman-American votes.
General Winkler's announcement
marks a turning point in which it
will soon be seen that thousands of
Germans now realize that President
Wilson, by his patient diplomatic
negotiations, kept this country from
going to war with their fatherland
instead of plunging the United States
into the European struggle, and
therefore, that other announcements
like General Winkler's will soon fol-
low"
General Winklcr is the most in
fuential German Republican in Wis
consin, Since the death of Carl Sch
urz he has been known as the
Carl Schurz" of Wisconsin. He is
prominent in state and municipal po-
litics. He led and won the fight for
civil service reform in Milwaukee. He
had charge of the movement which
gave Milwaukee its model charter.
He has never sought Office and his
voice and influence have always gone
toward what he regards is right.
This fact has given him a powerful
following all over the Northwest.
In the Civil War General Winkler
fought side by side with Carl 'Schurz
He has served as member of the
Republican State Central Committee
He was delegate to the Republican
National Convention which nominat-
cd Garfield for President. He was
prevailed upon 0 none occasion to
stand for election to the Wisconsin
Legislature. He has always been a
stanch Republican and has never be-
fore supported Democratic candi-
date for President.
The announcement of Gen. Wink
Ter strengthens the accumulating evil
dence being received in Washington
that the German-Americans are not
following blindly the few so-called
leaders. Information has been re-
ceived here by the Democratic mem
bers o iogress that President Wilson
will tsyive more German-American
votes than any other Democratic
President, this statement being based
