GER MAN SMASH ON WIDE
FRONT is SUCCESSFUL
General Offensive in Verdun Region
Pushed with Greatest Fury-Teu-
tons Fail Elsewhere.

Paris, June 10.-The Germans have
launched a general offensive along the
entire front at Verdun, the war office
announces. The attack is being pushed
with greatest fury on the east bank of
the Meuse river, where at one point,
the official statement admits, French
positions have been captured in a
heavy storming attack.
Teutons Fail Elsewhere.
Elsewhere the Teuton blows have
fallen without effect, the charging reg
iments losing heavily, reports from
the front assert.
The war department admits the in
cessant onslaughts of the last week on
the Vaux front have carried the Ger
man lines a mile closer to the city
itself.
The point where the Germans have
entered the French lines is in the
of Thiaumont farm The
Germans also made two small attacks
southwest of Hill 304, but these at
tacks, the statement says, were re-
pulsed.

"AMERTCANISM" FIRST IN

Chicago, June 10.-The Progressive
platform with its principal planks de.
voted to an exposition of American
ism, preparedness, protection and
woman suffrage, has been laid before
the Progressive convention. 1t was
received with enthusiasm which pre-
saged its adoption.
"The Americanism" planks, minus
direct reference to hyphenism, declar-
ed in vigorous terms for upholding
American rights on land and sea,
guarding "the honor and influence of
our nation" and maintenance of the
integrity of international law"
The platform also declares that the
supreme duty Of civilization is to make
peace permanent after the war. Re-
garding military preparedness the
platform declares for "a navy restored
to at least second rank in battle eff
ciency," standing army of 250,O00
men and "a system of universal mill
tary training-a citizen soldiery-con-
trolled by the national government"

The conferees were unanimous in
asserting that the conference was en-

Progressives talked only about Col
Roosevelt; the Republican conferees
suggested the names of various ia
vorite sons" including Fairbanks,
Burton, Root, Hughes and others, but
reached no unanimous decision that
they favored any one of them. The

got beyond generalities.
No Unanimity of Opinion.
While both sides reported prog
