IN PLATFORM

Washington, June 15.-Republican
leaders were chagrined today to dis
cover that for the first time in sixty
years they omitted to mention the old
soldiers in their platform.
At every convention since the war
there has been strong plank endors-
ing the veterans and approving a gem
erous pension law. Whether the
omission was due to the hurry of jam
ming the platform through, OF by de-
sign, is not known. Mr.. Hughes will
be expected to make good the onis-
sion in his letter of acceptance.

TO CHASE RAIDERS
Major Gray Can Cope With
Mexicans, Believes Funston.
De FactO Troops Are After the
Bandit Army.

San Antonio. June 15.-Whether
another punitive expedition enters
Mexico depends today upon the ability
of Maj Alonzo Gray to pick up the
trail of the hundred bandits who at
tackled two companies of the Four
teenth cavalry at San Ignacio, forty
miles southeast of Laredo. early this
morning. His latest report forwarded
by General Mann at Laredo to Gen
eral Funston indicated that the scat
tering of the raiding party. after cross
ing back into Mexico had caused
Major Gray to regard further pursuit
as impracticable.
1t was learned that the bandits came
from Las Tortillas ranch, fifteen miles
south of San Ignacio. Their identity
has not been learned, but army Of
ficers believe they were Luis De La
Rosa's men.
Scatter Like Quail
General Funston chara cterized the
action as typical De La Rosa tactics
attack at night and then scatter like
quail"
p Major Gray reported that the at
lacking force disintegrated and by
daylight all the bandits had disappear
ed in the brush on the Mexican side of
the river. He added that he was con-
WINGED that only a few, If any, of the
MeXicans remained on the American
side. Mexican army officers south of
the Rio Grande were in communica-
ton with Major Gray and told him
that the de facto troops already were
in pursuit of scattered detachments of
the bandits and that they had killed
four this morning. One more was
added to the American dead when
Private James Minaden died this
morning as a result of his wounds
Confident that Major Gray already
has a force large enough to deal with
the raiders, General Funston has not
ordered forward d supporting party,
but will send one from Zapata, thirty
miles south. if needed.
Ricaut to Protest Border.
Brownsville, June 15.-General AL
fredo Ricaut commanding the Malta
mords district of the Mexican border
announced today that Colonel J. r..
Quintanilla, a seasoned Mexican army
officer, has been dispatched to the
section opposite San Ignacio, Texas
where the bandit raids occurred early
today to take command. Sufficient
troops are in his command, it vas
said, to make a thorough patrol of the
border. General Ricaut declares his
intention to protect the border.

first convention of any party in gen.
Grafton where there is no contest upon
Ianything and the leaders after testing
the temper of the crowd may decide
that only the prospect of the presf-
dents actual presence will hold the
crowd until Saturday. The decision TO
send for the president may be reached
somewhat by reason of the great
crowds of unseated Democratic visit
ors who will leave by Friday If they
have nothing to hold them. If the
crowd and the delegates leave town a
nomination by empty benches after
midnight Saturday morning would he
an undesira BILE circumstance.
The one hope for a contest in the
convention is the strong feeling among
the leaders who follow the BRYAN lead
ership that the platform should con-
tain a number of planks to catch the
homeless Progressives. Secretary
Daniels seems to be the head of a
rather informal committee on con-
citation, and his friends on the reso-
lutions committee are active in their
interest in the Progr essive planks.
Phe Democratic point with pclde 10
the fact that the federal trades rela-
lions law passed by the Democrats
was in the Bull Moose platform and
not in the Democratic platform; and
that the tariff COMMISSION bill winch
is now assured of passage IS Pro-
greSSIVe demand ana not Democratic
platform pledge. They point to these
measures when they consider broad
ening their platform to admit the
Bull Moosers as an evidence of their
good faith. But the conservative ele-
ment, particularly in the east and
south, will not permit the Bryan wing
to load down the platform without
struggle and it is more than possible
that there will be a real contest in the
platform committee. On the other
hand, if the order comes thrilling
down the line from washington that
these Progressive planks are to be
crowded in. they will &C in. For above
everything else this is a Wilson con-
venticn. He holds it in the hollow
of his hand

expansion of German trade after the

The intention is to make use of the

That the CunarG company would

keenly discussed in shipping circles
