his first statement issued since his ac
ceptance of the Republican nomina-

The nominees day was devoted al,
most exclusively to receiving callers.
There were SO many Of them at one
time that line was formed, and they
filed past to shake hands and chat for
a moment instead of waiting to be re
ceived alone. Several Progressive
leaders and Republican supporters OF
Colonel Roosevelt were among them,

Suffrage leaders sought vainly to oh.
tain the nominees views as to their
cause.

received tonight that the sub-commit-
tee from the national convention
might reach here tomorrow. Mr..

In Galicia the drive has brought the
Russians across the Dnitzer river.
where they have captured the towns
of Zale Szczyky and Horodenka
where they are pressing forward to"
ward the Pruth river and the Buko"
vino frontier, with Czernowitch their
objective. Numerous Austrians forti-
fled positions in this region have fall
en- into Russian hands.
Violent fighting is taking place
around Tarnopole, while the Russians
are held back in the region of Neberg
capital of Galicia. Northeast OF Tar
nopole, near Vorobiyeha, positions
have changed hands repeatedly in the
heavy fighting, while east of Kozloe,
which lies southwest of Tanopole, the
capture OF Russian advance post is
reported by Vienna.
Drive Out Austrians. 49,.
In Volhynia, northwest and west OF
Lutsk, Russians have driven out Aus
trians near kojitche, and occupied
Torchin while west OF Kolki, north OF
I.ntsk, Austrians have again repulsed
Russians who were attempting to
cross the Styr river, infiicting heavy
losses on them.
The diversion of the Germans on
the northern part of the front appar-
entity has not assumed greatest pro-
portions. The latest PetrOgrad com
munication merely reports lombard
ments at many points, while Berlin
only comedies the defeat Of the caval-
ry brigade in the south of Jacob
stadt, and an increase in the Rus
sian artillery fire in the region of Bar
anovichi.
Canadians Make Gains.
The Canadian troops in the region
of Ypres have made notable gain
over the Germans, retaking from
them, southeast of Zellebeke, in a
''gallant and successful assault" more
than 1,5OO yards of former British po-
sitions which the Germans recently
captured The regained ground was
held despite vigorous shelling by
the Germans. The Germans suffered
heavy casualties. After driving theis
wedge into the French lines, north
east of Verdun, Monday. the Germans
did not follow up the attack with bonn
bardments. Only intermittent bonn
bardments are taking place around
Verdun.
In the Lagarina valley. of the Aus
troItalian theater, the Italians have
taken Austrian positions and repulsed
heavy counter attacks. On the Posi-
nia-Astioo front, the Austrians pene'
trated Molisini, but were later driven
out and in the Sugana valley they met
with considerable losses in a futile
attempt to advance east of the Maso
Torrent.

union and white stars of the United States
coors 1t is flown by pilot boats, is hoisted at
the bows of WarshipS and in the bow OF any
boat carrying an ambassador or minister.
American yachts fly flag at the stern or at
the end of the mainsail gait which has only 13
stars in the blue field arranged in circle
around foul anchor: Yachts do not use the
regular national ensign.
The president Of the United States has his
own flag. 1t has blue field with the arms OF
the nation emblazoned upon it in full colors.
The flag is carried on small boats and naval
vessels when the president is aboard

Result Of Letters Which Appeared
in Many Papers.

New York. Nov. 1.-Pastor Charles
Taze Russell, who died yesterday in
Texas on a train that was bringing
him back to his work in New York,
stood for more than quarter of a cen
fury unique figure among ministers
of all Sects and creeds. He belonged
to no denomination and attracted wide

tivities and methods of publicity.
He was pastor of churches all over
the country and travelled nearly 10000
miles each year in pursuance of his
duties but made his headquarters at
his tabernacle in Brooklyn. He always
disclaimed being the founder of new
religion and said he based his preach
ings only on the bible. In 1914 his SER
mons were printed in 1, 400 newspapers
throughout the country. He was the
author of series of books on scrip
ture study.
Pastor Russell started his career as
a manager of chain of furnishing
stores in Allegheny. Pa, but in 1878
began to preach. He was president Of
the Watch Tower Bible and Tract So
ciety of Pennsylvania. the Internation-
al Bible Students association of Lon
don and the Peoples Pulpit associa-
ton of New York and editor of the
Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's
Presence, semi-monthly journal.
He died in his sixty-fifth year.
