London Aug. 3-The armies in the
three great centers of recent activity
the SOmme region of France, Rus
STA and Galicia-evidently have let up
considerably in the violent fighting
I'm which they have been engaged and
=zre iEdulging in a breathing spell
preparatory to further attacks and
counter attacks. The official commu-
nicasiOns dealing with the operations
nm these Ghea1ers today tell of no
single important engagement or of
any notable changes in the positions
OF the belligerents.
Attacking in echelon on a 3-mile
9fne from the Mouse river to Fleury,
north of Verdun, the French have cap
rtured several German trenches and
organized points of support. In the
engagement six hundred Germans
were made prisoners and ten machine
guns were captured.
ON the Russian front, Petrograd re-
ports merely artillery duels and infan-
try attacks on the Stokhod and Turia
river fronts and of local Russian Of

Gardner and Swanger Appear
to Lead Their Party Tick
cts in Missouri.
LANSDON LEADS IN KANSAS
ton for Governor Is Close
One-Third Vote Cast.

st. Louis, Aug. 2.-The Republican
gubernatorial nomination was in
doubt at 10 o'clock this morning, re-
turns from the Missouri primary held
yesterday indicating a close race be-
tween Henry Lamm and John E.
Swanger, both of Sedalia. Frederick
D. Gardner of ST. Louis is certain of
the Democratic nomination.
Senator James A. Reed was renomi-
mated by the Democrats and Walter S.
Dickey of Kansas City seemed certain
of the Republican nomination by a
big plurality.
Returns from ST. Louis, with one
precinct missing, gave Lamm a plu-
rality in the city over Swanger of
nearly $4,000. Charles D. Morris of
st. Joseph received TAT votes in this
city and Mayor McIndoe of Joplin 40.
In the Democratic race Gardiner
had a lead of is, 900 in ST. Louis. Sec
rotary of State Roach ran second in
the city. The total ST. Louis vote for
both parties was $4,000
From what can be gathered at 10
o'clock this morning the state tickets
nominated at yesterdays primary are
as follows:
Democratic:
Goyernor-Fred S. Gardner, esti-
mated, 10000 plurality
Lieutenant Governor-Wallace Cross
ley, $4,000.
State -Auditor-John P. Gordon, 3d.
900.
State Treasurer-George H. Middel-
kamp, no opposition.
Secretary of State-James Kelly
Pool, $4,000.
Attorney General-F. w. McA1lis-
ter, 5000. No Democratic candidate
save state treasurer will have a clear
majority.
Governor E. Swanger. esti-
tain, 1000.
Secretary of State-J. E. Ford.
5000.
State Auditor-W. w Wilder, 6, 600
State Treasurer-A. A. Witt, $4,000.
Attorney General-Conway Elder,
5000
For judges of the supreme court
there apparently is no doubt that
Judge A. M. Woodson, Democrat, has
been nominated by very large ma
jority for Division No. 1, and that
Fred L. Williams, Democrat, for Di-
vision No. 2, has been nominated by
a lead of probably eighteen thousand.
OF the Republican candidates for
judge of the supreme court, Division
No. 1, it appears that James M. Jonn-
son has a good lead. Edward Hig-
bee, Republican, has no opposition for
Division No. 2.

Apathy in Kansas.

Topeka, Aug. 2.-In a primary cleo
ton, in which not more than one-third
of the total vote was cast, w. c. Lans-
don of Salina apparently has been
nominated by the Democrats for gov
ernor. He has substantial lead over
Benjamin s. Gaitskill of Girard.
Governor Arthur Capper was re-
nominated by the Republicans with
out opposition.
The races for many state office
nominations are so close that official
reports on Friday will have to be
awaited to determine who have won.
Apparently Wy1ie w. Cook of Kan
sas City, Kan, has a safe lead for
the Republican nomination for state
treasurer On the same ticket Frank
Organ is ahead of Fred w, Knapp and
Dan B. Dyer for state auditor. w. D.
Ross, superintendent of public instruc-
ton, is leading Miss Lizzie E.
Wooster.
Tom Botkin has been renominated
by the Republicans for secretary of
state.
Other Republican nominees, re-
named without opposition, are:
Lieutenant Governor-W. Y Nor
gan, Hutchinson.
Attorney Generals NJ Brewster,
Troy.
superintendent of Insurance-Carey
Wilson, Topeka.
State Printer-w R. Smith, Column

The Democratic vote was especial

tests, Dr. Eva Harding of Topeka, a

GERMAN U-BOAT OFF ON DASH
Deutschland Leaves Baltimore on Re-
turn Trip to Home Port-Faces.
Enormous Odds.

Baltimore, Aug 2.-The German
submarine merchantmen Deutschland
set out from Baltimore on a return
voyage to Germany today, after dec
laration of confidence from her COM
mander, Captain Paul Koenig, that he
would take her home in spite of the
heavy odds that she would face, when
the three-mile limit in the Atlantic
ocean is reached. The submersibIe
was towed out of the slip where she
was berthed twenty-three days ago at
$40 o'clock this afternoon and it is
expected that she will put into New
port News, Va, between and 9
o'clock tomorrow morning.
After getting into mid-stream the
tow line of the tug Thomas F. Tim
minis was cast off and the Deutsch-
land proceeded down the Patapsco
river under her own power. The Tim
minis went to one side, the coast guard
cutter Wissahickon to the other and
the harbor police boat Lannan brought
up the rear to prevent undue crowd
ing by the small fleet of launches that
followed.
Annapolis, thirty miles south of
here, reported that the Deutschland
passed there at S:45 o'clock, steaming
about twelve miles an hour The tug
Timmins alone was conveying, and
but one vessel was following, a news
paper dispatch boat. Weather condi-
lions at that time were favorable.
