Attack Germans and Drive In
vaders From Salient Which
Jutted Into New Line.

London-The Russians have cap
tured two more Volhyn;an towns in
their sweep on Kovel and are only
thirtyIfve miles from the key railroad
points of the southern Austro-German
front. The Austrians and Germans,
established en- a new line following
their enforced withdrawal from the
strong Volhynian salient they had
held for months. are battling desper-
ately to stem the Muscovite tide, but
all indications point to a definite and
imminent menace to Kovel.
Petrograd officially reports the oc-
cupation of Dolzyca and Gruziatyn,
while unofficial reports are to the ef-
feet that the entire volhynian trian-
gle of Kolki, Rafalowka and Name
witchi is under Russian control. Gen
eral Kaledine's advance already has
passed the halfway mark between
the Styr and the Stockhod, it is
stated.
The French and British on Satur-
day attacked simultaneously and
wiped out, within thirty-fve minutes,
strong German salient which had
jutted dangerously into their new line
north of Somme.
BY their concerted attack they have
carried their front to and beyond the
village of Hardecourt on the Ba-
paurhe highroad, three and a half
miles southeast of Combles, an i'm
portant German provisioning center.
They have Strengthened out their
front until now they hold line which
curves but slightly from Montaubon
to Curlu and Buscourt, precluding
Ranking attacks by the Germans on
what has been the northern flank of
the Buscourt salient.

CHARLES A. rice
QUITS POLITICS
AS A CANDIDATE
Senator and Former National
Committeeman Makes
Announcement
DOES NOT SEEK RETURN
TO LOCAL LEGISLATURE
Sets at Rest Rumors He Might
Run Again for Delegate
to Congress .....

Charles A. Rice, territorial senator
from Kauai, and in the race for dele
gate to Congress two years ago, is out
.cf politics this season as an active
or receptive candidate. .-@s.- l..
He made this announcement today
in response to questions by the Star
Bulletin, confirming reports given
much credence during the past few
months that for the first time in
many years he will be candidate for
no office.
81 am retiring from politics for two
years." said the Kauai senator, who
came to Honolulu for a brief business
trip. 81 will not run either for the
delegateship or for senator again"
Asked why he is not candidate,
he said that he does not wish to go
after the Republican nomination for
delegate this year, nor does he seek
reelection as senator because If eject
ed TO the upper house of the legisla-
ture he would be tied up for a four
year term. He expects to be handling
much business during the next two
years and may be out Of the territory
a good deal.
John H. Coney, the veteran house
member from Kauai, is a candidate
for senator to take Riee's place and
he is said to be virtually sure of elec-
ton. He will probably have no oppo-
sition for the Republican nomination
and Is likely to receive such a large
vote that he will be elected at the pri-
naries 81 e
Rice was Republican national COM
mitteeman during the last term, being
succeeded by Robert W. Breckons.
With the definite announcement
that Rice Is not a candidate for the
delegateship, it looks as If there will
be no opposition to the denomination
of Prince Kuhio by the Republicans,
and so far no Democratic aspirant
has announced himself. L. L. Nc
Candless has given no definite state
ment of his intentions but Democratic
observers say they do not think he.
will run. ~.

COUNTER-PR0PoSALS FROM
RAIL CHIEFS ARE COMING
But Confidence is Expressed
That Wilson's Plan of Avert
ing Strike Will Work
tAssocia,ed Press by Federal wirsless)

MASHfNG1ON, ID. c.. Aug. %. -
Prospects for a peaceful settlement
or temporary adjustment of the rail-
road strike crisis were brighter to-
day, and confidence in the outcome of
negotiations was expressed following
meeting of the president and his
cabinet. =: -. ..
While the railroad executives were
working on their feounter-proposal to
the presidents plan for averting a
strike, the cabinet meeting was held.
Several leading administration Off
cials express confidence that the pres
ident's plan, which involves the tenn
porary acceptance by the railroad
men of the eight-hour day, would fin
ally be adopted. The railroad men so
far have insisted that the controversy
be submitted to arbitration.
There are no indications when the
railroad presidents will have their
counter-proposal ready for submission.
Getting Away From Wilson.
Following the conferences held by
the railroad president, Blewitt Lee,
spokesman and chairman of the con-
ference, said that the trend of opinion
was away from the presidents plan.
1T is inconceivable," ne declared.
that the railroads should be called
upon to grant demands which would
mean the payment of $50,000,00 addi-
tional wages to a preferred class Of
their employees, and class that is in
the minority, ana that the demands
should be granted under the threat
of strike such as this. which would
paralyZe the entire Industrial and
commercial activities of the nation.
Certainly it Is impossible to conveive
that such action should be taken by
the railroads without appealing to
the last court in this country, public
opinion"
In continuing his statement Mr..
Lee intimated tSat the lines are pre-
pared to take whi ever course the
country desires, for we realize that
public opinion must decide this con-
troversy."

Honolulu is Proper Place for
Peace Conference; lndorSes

Reading the Star-Bulletin's story OF
yesterday on the suggestion of Daily
Financial America. that Honolulu be
the site OF world-peace conference
after the war, Mayor Lane comment
ed
Surely If there is any place in the
world especially suitable for a peace
conference il is Honolulu. Far away
from the strife of the world, in a mild,
peaceful climate, with minds at ease,
the emissaries OF the governments of
the world gathered here would quickly
come 10 terms.
"Honolulu's accessible position, as
suggested in the Star-Bulletin, is an
other argument for selecting it as a
site for the conference. am sure that
every effort will be made by the citi-
zens of this city to bring it here"
Relative to the proposed Prepared
ness Parade" Mayor Lane agrees
with the suggestion that Kalakaua
Day, November l6, is fitting time to
hold it. The King was a military
enthusiast" he declared. "A prepar-
edness parade would be an appropri.
ate celebration of his birthday. 1t
could be held after the tribute to the
queen in the morning and before the
aquatic sports in the afternoon.

in their hands. Once they broach the

Being Mentioned for the
Bourbon DeIegateShip

With National Committeeman John
II. Wilson declaring emphatically that
he will not be in the race-that he
will not even consider being a can
didate, the situation arising out of
the present lack in the Democratic
party of someone to put forward for
the delegateship is becoming almost
acute. .. <. r. ...s
In about two weeks from now no
limitations for all Offices will close and
between now and then the party must
put someone forward as candidate for
delegate for Congress. Some of the
old-timers were sure that Wilson would
consider the nomination should Nc
Candless decline to run, but Wilson
only laughs and declares there is
nothing doing" He says it would be
too expensive; and besides, his busi-
ness demands his presence in Homo

Seen today after friendly confer
ence with District Attorney S. C..

whether he will or will not be a can.

A battered whaleboat awash on the
reef at Kailua, windward Oahu, since
yesterday noon, may reveal the fate
of the five enlisted men from Fort
Shafter who have been missing since
July Is. >:.,.
On that date they took 17-foot
whaIeboat, equipped with auxiliary
engine and sail, from Puuiki. Waialua,
and were to bring it around Kaena
Point and into Pearl Harbor. .,ince
then no tidings have come from the
five men and an army board of in
quiry has reported them dead, the
findings being sent to Washington.
Yesterday good-siZed whaleboat
came from the sea to the Kailua reef,
an eighth of mile from shore, and
telephone reports today said that the
craft was still on the coral barrier.
1t is lying upside down on the reef
and so firmly wedged there that Ha-

not turn it over. The boat appeared
to be entirely empty -~-.. -.
This morning two Honolulu men,
Charles F. Merrill and Superintendent
Alexander Pratt of the Rapid Transit,
went out in skiff but could get no
closer to the boat than 100 feet, ow-
ing to the sea that was running.
Telephone reports say that the out
side of the boat is dark red, al
most approaching chocolate, and that
it Is ''double-ender" with air-tanks

soldiers left, said the color OF the boat
was a cross between red and brown,

with that OF the boat which drove
on the reef at Kailua Monday.
They said the boat was about II
feet long, of the ordinary rowboat
design, and fitted with a Wisconsin
ouIOoard motor of the Evinrude type,
fixed to the boat by means Of clamps.
The boat beiAnged to the old organi.
