WHEELING ELkS
MAKE BIG HIT
IN THE PARADE
Special pisrntch to the Intcll.gcncer.

Special Dispatch to the lntcll;gcncer
BALTIMORE, Md. July 13.-With
the sun beating down upon the streets
sending the mercury bounding up the
tube until it horered about the 80
degree mark. thousands Of Elks turned
our today and took part in the grand
parade which has been looked forward
to for many days. In spite of the boil
ing weather they entered the parade
with will. and although many Of
them suffered greatly from the heat,
they stuck in line Hot weather also
failed TO keep the public in doors and
the streets throughout the route Of the
parade were lined with thousands Of
persons who cheered as the marchers
went past. A big party OF congress-
men came over from Washington and
marched and among these was Uncle
Joe Cannon. When he was recognized
he was given loud cheers and the old
veteran was kept doffing his hat all
along the route.
The Wheeling and other West Nir-
ginia Elks made a splendid appear
ance in the parade. All wore linen
suits and their marching and drilling
along the line of march was received
by cheers from the thousands who
lined the streets. The Fairmont Elks
were in a happy mood and al times
they put over some clever dances and
steps that called for the applause at
the reviewing stand. The Wheeling
delegates also gave some formations
and unique figures that were bcauii-
fully done.

OFFENSIVE OF
ALLIES IN WEST
IS JUST STARTED

LONDON. July 13 (5:15 p. ny The
crn front is only in its beginning,
declared Premier Asquith today in an
nouncing in the house Of commons that
the government had decided to ask
workers to forego their August holi-
days because of the demand for NUM-
tionS in France He expressed con-
viction that the wUrkmcn would CO.
operate in this plan so as 10 make 1t
plain TO Great Briiain'S enemies that
the offensive, in its present intensity
of bombardmenr and assault. would, II
necessary be continued indefinitely"
The premier also announced that BY
royal proclamation the August bank
holidays would be postponed and he
appealed TO all classes for postpone.
ment Of all holidays until further ann
definite progress Of the offensive had
been secured.
That offensive" he continued, lis
only in its beginning and il necessar'
lily requires for its success a cuntinu-
Gus supply Of munitions Of all kinds.
From the success achieved, we have
been able TO gauge the paramount nee
essity Of avoiding even the slightest
risk Of restriction of the use Of muni-
tions in the field, not merely in the
weeks Immediately before us. but until
our objective is achieved, In the opin-
ion of the commander-n-chief. there
must be no slackening in the output,
event for moment, and therefore
appeal TO the patriotism Of the work
ers and the public generally to again
postpone their holidays in order that
the attack, so brilliantly begun, can
be carried through to triumphant
conclusion"

proclaimed throughout Spain tonight.
King Alfonso has arrived at Madrid
from Lagrange. 4 general strike is
announced for July Is.
The city and province of Madrid

railroad on June II, and is reported
tO have spread. not merely 10 the other
railroads of Spain. but 10 the indus
tries in the great industrial centres or
Barcelona, Madrid. Valencia, Bilbao
and Oviedo.
The primary cause of the strike was
the refusal of the Northern Railway
company 10 increase wages. but there
has been growing unrest and serious
disturbances in most of the provinces
Of Spain rs Il result Of the increased
cost of food. caused by III" great war.
Conditions have been growing steadily
more serious. according To the news

March when serious riots took place
in many towns. causing several deaths

WILSON
AGAIN TAKES RAP AT
UNLOYAL FOREIGNERS

WASHINGTON, July IL: President
Wilson. in an address here, today.
again denounced as disloyal those
foreign born citizens who draw apart

special object of their own. and
added warning to native Americans
that they cannot teach good citizen

The president spoke before IA meet

piccs Of the naturalization bureau. He
dwelt at length on the problem of IN,
Structing new citizens, but declared
that after all the prime necessity in
such instruction was realization or
the signifiCanreof American traditions
on the part Of the instructors.
"UnlesS We are true Americans. he
said. "wr cannot infect them with the
spirit Of AmercaniSm. Unless we our
selves illustrate the ideas of justice
and freedom. we can teach nothing

RUSSIAN ADVANCE
ALONG THE STOkHOD
HAS Been CHECKED

LONDON. July 13.-The most
violent fighting in the great Entente
Allied offensive is on the eastern
front where General BrussIloff's
tremendous blows are being con-
tinued without apparent lull or heSita-
tion temporarily at least. the Austro-
Germans appear TO have halted the
Russian advance along the Stokhod.
Both sides are reported to be hurhns
huge reinforcementS OF men and guns
into this Titanic struggle. the prize
OF which is the immensely important
strategic town of kovel
Further TO the south a battle OF
almost equal intensity is raging on
the lower Stripa where the Russians
are striking north in an effort to
crush General Won Bothmer and flank
the entire AuStro-German line.
The AustrianS admit that the
Russians penetrated Won Bothmer's 5
front at some points. but assert they
were driven out again in counter
attacks. The Russians claim to have
taken 1000 prisoners. but make no
mention OF gain in territory.
The British have held their gains
on their portion OF the Somme front,
and the usual period Of consolidation
and the pushing forward OF the big
artillery is presumed to be taking
place. A similar situation exists on
the French line and remarkably
brief French official statement OF
Thursday night simply records the
continuance of the bombardmcnt at
Fort, Souville. in the Ferdun region.

Up IN SENATE
BIG INCREASES

Partisan Opposition Is Lack
ing and the Bill Will Go
Through Early.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The sen
ate today began discussion of the
$3l5, ,0O0, 200 naval bill. the largest ma
val appropriation measure by millions
in the nations history. bearing in
creaSes of nearly $50,000.0O0 over its
total as il passed the house. Senate
leaders emphasized their intention OF
expediating its consideration and lit
tie opposition arose To The committee
amendments presented.
An Indication that the senate is in
sympathy with the liberal increases
written into the bill by the senate ma
val committee. was seen in the Ap'
prevail without opposition Of section
increasing the enlisted strength OF the
navy from the present 81 600 TO 5000
men, and six thousand apprentice sea
men. The house bill provided for an
increase To only Gl,00O men. When
the personnel section was reached
Senator Norris asked for an cmpla'
nation of its purpose. Senator swan.
son.in charge of the measure, replied
that tho section as drafted followed
the recommendations Of the navy gen,
eral board and would give only Sut'
fiCirnt personnel Ia man the best bat
tlpShipS and cruisers now in commits
sion and Il fifty per cent complement
for vessels in reserve. Senator Lodge,
ranking Republican member Of the ma
val committee. also declared the in
crease imperative.
That there would be no partisan
opposition TO the bill was apparent
from the beginning Of the debate.
The only committee rcCommenda'
tion which met determined opposition
today WAS one providing for com
mission report on the advisability OF
establishing at least one more naval
academy After ii long debate IN
which Senator Weeks led the oppoSl'
ton 10 the proposal and Senator l'he'
Ian and others defended 1t. the Sen
ate sustained the committee, y 10 l.
