ROTTERDAM. via London. June l5.--The
Russian offensive is discussed by the
military critics of the German papers,
who mainly declare that there is no need
for uneasiness and that German tech-
nical skill has always been capable Of
balancing Russian numerical superiority.
Some of the writers declare that the
Russians are already checked. Major

the offensive more seriously. He says:

Russia can produce yearly Al least
2,0o0.oOO young and strong men for
military service. The present develop
ment. however. Is chiefly due To sup

self and Compel Obedience.

MAsHINGruN Jane l6 At IL 40
o o'clo k this morning Secretary Tumulty
learned by long distance telephone from
one of the Presidents representatives at
II. Louis that the platform committee
had adopted the American plank sub
m.tted by the White House without any
change of phraseology.
Earlier in the evening there had been
fears that serious situation might grow
out OF the Presidents insistence on such
Il plank Senate Stone OF Missouri,
among whose constituents are many
Germans. was understood to be leading
the opposition.
The President had notified the COM
mittee that he would not consent to
substantial modification OF the plank
War Baker.
The Presidents notification was
drawn forth by reports from the con-
vention city to the effect that the plat
form committee regarded the formula =
tion Of this particular plank as a vexing
problem and that they were striving to
deal with the matter In declaration
which would cover disloyalty hut would
contain nothing 20 offend the feelings OF
decent naturalized citizens.
These reports had an irritating effect
upon some of the Presidents advisers
here. Connected with statements that
the conventions decision to nominate
the President in advance OF the plat
form was due to difficulty within the
committee in reaching an agreement,
they gave rise to the question OF whether
or not the President might encounter real
difficulties in enforcing his own views.
Democratic leaders are not forgetfui
of the fact that the policy of "scuttl@.
