RUSSIAN HOSTS
ARE SWEEPING ON

SIavs Making Rapid Advance in Effort

Closer to Trieste.

London, Aug. pa further series
Of surprising successes by the armies
of Generals Sakaharoff and LetchitZky
were announced today by the Rus
SLAMS. The most consequential of
these were the capture, without firing
a shot, of the important railway juno
ton and town of Stanislau; the def
mite occupation of Monasterzyska, and
the seizure of important positions on
the Zlota Lipa line.
Coupled with these victories was
the capture of many thousand prison
ers, especially on the right bank of
the Sereth where the prisoners taken
number five thousand
Gateway to Lemberg.
The capture of StanisIau, admitted
by Vienna, gives the Russians another
gateway through which they can
march toward Lemberg. Like Brody,
Stanislau is an important railroad
center. Railroads radiate from it in
five directions. It is eighty-seven
miles southeast of Lemberg and is sit
uated between two forks of the Bys-
tritza river, ten miles south of the
Dniester. Stanislau was a manufac
turing city and agriculture center be-
fore the war and had a population of
$4,000.
Italians Closer to Triest.
The Italian army under the Duke OF
Aosta, which took Goritz, is losing no
capture of the gateway to Triest.
South of Goritz, along the lower
Isonzo, the Italians have occupied the
whole of the Doberdo Plateau, the
scene of much desperate fighting, in
addition to driving the Austrians east
of the Vallone line and capturing sew
eral towns in the direction of Triest.
East of Goritz, the Italians have not
met with as much success as in the
south. Rome officially reports the
Austrians to be holding out in trenches
on the line of Monte San Gabrielle and
Monte San Mario.
A New Gain for the French.
While the British forces have been
comparatively inactive north of the
Somme, in Northern France, the
French have followed up their bonn

the capture of additional German
trenches near Maurepas and a forti-
fled quarry north Of the Hem Wood.
The French also have established a
new line on the ridge south of Maure-
pas and have taken two small woods
north of Hem Wood.
Petrograd admits the evacuation of
Hamadan, Persia, under pressure Of
Turkish attacks.

BY VICTOR ROSEWATER.

Chicago, June 9.-(Special Tele-
gram. AT this writing in the early
evening the flow of the nominating
oratory has not ceased. The day has
been indeed interesting, yet the
moves toward actual choice OF STAN
dard bearers have been disappoint-
inly slow.
1t is clear that the proceedings are
being guided and governed by steer
ing committee representing COM
bination of the favorite son candi-
dates who are still depending on the
joint conference committee or some
word from the colonel to eliminate
Hughes, and clear the way for the
convention to unite on one of these
favorite sons or all undisclosed dark
horse.
Less Chance for Roosevelt.
The general opinion seems more
settled that the possibility of Roose-
velt's nomination has become less
rather than greater by the days
events, The present program of this
steering Committee is to take two
ballots and then to adjour till tomor-
row. 1t is very likely that the Hughes
supporters feeling confident of the
ultimate outcome may not oppose
this.
The oratofy of the day has come up
to the usual standard of nominating
speeches, but all is of the usual type
as if moulded in the same form. |
don't know where the practice started,
but it seems to be rule none dare
to deviate from that the speaker must
describe his favorite in such a way
that every one can quickly grasp his
identity, and to picture him as the
sole savior of the party and of the
country, but not to mention his name
until the final sentence.
Speeches Meet Same Test.
All the nominating speeches today
meet the test of this rule fully and
while finished decamations hardly
reached particularly high levels. The
best were those Of Governor Whit
man, DR.. Butler, Governor Willis and
Congressman Kendall.
Senator Falls presentation of
Roosevelt was lucid and forceful, but
in no sense superior to the average.
With respect to the successive
demonstrations. all except only that
following the naming of Hughes, in
no way concealed their artificial and
prearranged character, Any who has
