PRESS THINKS WELL
OF SENATOR BURTON
Logical Man TO Oppose Will
son, Says AShaViIIe Citizen.

While political leaders are for one
man or another, for one purpose or an
other, it is found that Republicans
seeking success this year want q man
of strong Republican convictions,
man of experience in public affairs and
a knowledge of the needs of the coun-
try.
Justswhat is thought of Senator Bur-
ton in different parts Of the country
may be seen by the comments of diff
ferent papers of recent date.
Says the Olean Evening Times of
New York:
THE candidacy of Senator Theodore
E. Burton is being pushed with an ener-
gy and vigor by his friends who know
him best and his Washington asso-
ciates who know him as a legislator
that bid fair TO land the nomination
at Chicago No other man now before
the public as candidate is getting the
favorable comment in this relation as
Senator Burton"
The Sioux Falls IS. d. State Forum
says:
THE Forum believes that for pure
statesmanlike ability, knowledge and
needs Of the country aud how best to
meet them Senator Theodore Z. Bur
ton is the best man of the entire list.
He is ri@ht ON the tariff, right in his
Americanism, right in his ideas Of gov
ernmental service and one Of the real
leaders of the country"

GERMANS GAIN AT vsRDuN.

London.-The Tooth day of the
great battle for Verdun was marked
by German gains over a front OF 2
miles west of the Mouse. Paris ad-
mitted the abandoning OF the Bethin-
court-Cumieres road, which the Ger
mans have been seeking to break
since early in April. The War Office
onceded losses in the Guarettes
Wood, south of Cumieres, and on the
slopes of lie Mort HOmme.
Overshadowing even the develop
ments before Verdun, the Balkan
situation, since the Bulgarian inva-
sion of Greek territory a few days
ago, became the foremost subject Of
discussion and speculation in Berlin
Paris and London. Events of far
reaching consequences upon the ulti
mate outcome of the war are looked
for in Macedonia in the immediate
future
Already the ultra-optimistic Teuton
ic prediction is heard: The Anglo
French expedition at Salonica will be
thrown into the Aegean Sea-" More
conservative elements predict some
of the hardest fighting OF the war in
the event the German, Austrian, Bull
garian and Turkish armies should
clash with the British. The Bulgarian
advance into Macedonia was made as
the result of a secret agreement
between the Greek and Bulgarian
governments, according to diplomatic
sources in Rome, Greece welcoming
the invasion because OF the Allies
roughshod methods in blockading all
Greek ports and occupying all avail
able islands for naval bases.
The Austrians have begun another
attack against the Italians in the
Posina region of Italy, southwest OF
Posina, and further north along the
upper reaches of the Astico River on
the Austro-Italian border South of
Posina Austrians prepared for their
offensive with q bombardment, but
Rome says, the Italians, after a des-
perate struggle against the Austrian
infantry, retained their positions.
On the Russian front the Germans
attempted an offensive northeast of
Augustinhof, but were driven back to
their trenches by the Russians

THE GERMAN LOSS
4 NOW Put At IS
British Figure Out Greater
Losses for Germans.
DOES NOT NAME SHIPS
Scarcely a Line Officer On
Sunken British Vessels
Was Saved.

London. - The British Admiralty
issued a statement saying there was
the strongest grounds for the belief
that the British navy in the battle with
the Germans off Jutland last week had
accounted for a total of IS German
men-of-war, and that there was nothing
to add to or subtract from the original
announcement of the British losses.
The statement gave the German
losses as two battleships, two dread
naught battle cruisers, four light cruis-
ers, nine torpedo-boat destroyers and
a submarine.

Less Pesslmism Felt.

The pessimism which prevailed as q
result Of the Admiralty's original state
ment of losses, which now is consider
ed to have been needlessly candid and
conservative in Understanding the
extent of the German losses as com
pared with those of Great Britain, has
been greatly lessened by the latest
statement.
A dispatch from Copenhagen says
rumors are current in Hamburg that
two additional German warships than
those announced in the German com
munication-the battleship Westfalen
and the battle cruiser Lutzow-were
sunk in the battle A wireless dispatch
received here from Berlin said the Ger
man Admiralty admitted the loss of the
Westfalen.
The admiralty statement declares
that the German losses in the fight
were not only relatively, but absolute
ly greater than those of the British
Maintaining its practice of caution, the
admiralty still refrains from giving the
names of the lost German ships.
