Near kovel From Stokhod
River Region.

London, Aug S.-While the Germans
on the StOkhod river front rallied and
again held the Russian drive against
Kovel, the Slav forces further south on
the lines below Brody announced new
advances in the move upon Lemberg.
The fighting on the Sereth and Grab
erka rivers was particularly violent.
The Russians captured strongly for
tilted positions in the region of the VIII
lagos of Zvyjin, kostiniec and Reniuv.
In the face of the most stubborn
enemy resistance, the Russians con-
tinued their advance on Lemberg.
Along the River Koupee, energetic
enemy attacks in the region of Noles-
nuk were repulsed with severe losses.
In the southwest Russian cavalry de-
tachments were again forced to retire
slightly south of Norekhta.
The Berlin report says: Austro-
German troops which assumed the Of
fenSive against Inc Russian left wing
resting in the Carpathians have cap

HANLY BARS PLANK
REJECTS INITIATIVE, REFEREN-
DUN AND RECALL.
Prohibition Candidate Accepts Nomna.
tion for Presidency-Opposed to
Part of Platform.

| indianapolis, Ind, Aug. S.--Formel
didate for the presidency of the United
| States, will not support one plank IL
the Prohibition platform at the coming
election. That plank is the one in
dorsing the initiative, referendum and
recall. Mr.. Hanly made this known to.
day in his speech of acceptance after
his official notification of nomination
at his home here by Robert Ii. Patton
of Illinois, chairman of the Prohibition
national convention which met at ST,
Paul.
Mr. Hanly, after setting forth the
ideals of the party regarding the abo-
lition OF the liquor traffic said:
There Is in the platform one plank
not reported by the Committee on
Resolutions, but adopted by the con-
ventlon-which | can neither approve
nor accept; which | cannot defend in
the campaign; which. If elected,
would oppose; and which, If brought to
me as proposed law, | would veto.
refer to the following:
I'VE favor the initiative, referendum
and recall"
MY statement In regard TO this is
based upon the assumption that the
declaration implies approval of the in
itiative, referendum and recall in state
and national affairs. IF so intended,
| cannot yield it my assent. SO ap-
piled believe them to be subversive of
ment.
Wherever they have obtained they
have wrought confusion and harm.
Where the initiative and referendum
have been applied to the amendment
of constitutions. they have made these
solemn and organic characters liquid
as water, aud volatile as oil. They
will do the same to the Federal Con-
stitution. All three are revolutionary,
but not progressive. They are the
weapons of the bad oftener than they
are the defense of the good.
"In my judgment nothing could be
fraught with greater peril to state and
national prohibition of the traffic in
Intoxicating liquors than the applica-
ton of these three principles to the
state and national governments.
"My attitude in regard to them has
been so often expressed, and in so
many states, and before so many peo-
pie, and is so widely known, that it is
Uncomfortable to me that the conven-
ton could not have known 1t. But
lest there are some who sat in the
convention and voted for me, and 9TH
ers in and out of the party who con-
template voting for me, and who do
not know, | feel that justice and can
dor required from me this statement.
Never in my life have | surrendered
clear conviction on any vital public
question to secure position or political
favor, and | cannot do so now"

Automobile company saw the holdup,
The pay car containing the paymas-
ter. Thomas Sheehan, was returning
to The Burroughs plant from a local
bank, and It was followed by another

defense Of the pay car by the idea that
the hOldup was part of motion pic
ture. and they did not attempt to in
terfere until 1t was too late.
As the pay car was passing the side
of the Cadillac plant on Burroughs
avenue q touring car drew up along
side and a man stepped out and or
