Galicia-evidently have let up cons1d-
erably in fighting and are indulging
in a breathing spell preparatory to
further attacks and counter-attacks.
The official communications dealing
with the operations in these sectors
tell of no single important engagement
or of any notable changes in the posi-
tons of any Of the belligerents.
Attacking in Echelon on a three
mile line, from the Mouse river to
Fleury, north of Verdun, the French
have captured several German
trenches and organized points Of sup
port. In the engagement 900 Germans
were made prisoners and ten machine
guns were captured.
On the Russian front Petrograd re-
ports merely artillery duels and in
fantry attacks by small detachments,
while Berlin tells of Russian attacks
on the Stokhod and Taria river fronts
and of local Russian offensive on the
Stripa river in Galicia, all of which
were repulsed.
Attacks by the Austrians against
the Italians at various points, includ-
ing Monte Cimone, Monte Seluggio
and Castellatto, have been repulsed
with heavy casualties, according to
Rome.

Detroit.-FiVe unmasked automobile
bandits held up an automobile in
which $4,000 pay roll money was be-
ing taken to the plant Of the Bur-
roughs Adding Machine Company and
before astonished guards could offer
resistance snatched five of six bags
in the car, said to have contained
$4,000 or $4,000 and escaped.
The hold-up took place on Bur-
roughs, between Woodward and Cass
avenues in view of hundreds of en-
ries and the usual afternoon throngs
on Woodward avenue.
Rudolph, a Burroughs guard, was
shot through the thigh and struck
on the head with the butt end of q
pistol, when he tried to intercept the
robbers.
Witnesses declared the five bandits
apparently ranged in age from IL TO
60 years. No one, however, seemed
able to give good description.
They were armed with rifles and au-
tomato pistols.
Witnesses of the daring robbery
declared the apparent failure of the
pay car guards to realize what was
taking place aided the bandits sue
cesses One guard said he thought
motion picture scenario was being
staged.
Although policemen on motorcy-
cles and in automobiles were quickly
sent in pursuit of the bandits, they
had not been rounded up. Eleven
machines filled with officers were
securing the country in every direc-
ton after fruitless chase OF 36
miles, The bandits were thought to
have been cornered about 80 miles
northwest of the city, but when Off
GERS closed in the bandits car was
not to be found.
The amount obtained by the ban
dts at first placed as high as $4S,-
600, later was declared by P. G.

Company to have been be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. A car fol-
lowing the one held up, carrying $751;

on FIRST SPEAKING TRIP
Assails Foreign Course and Mexican
. Program Of President Wilson-Dip-
IomatIc Appointments Are CrIti-
clZed.

Detroit, Mich.-Charles e. Hughes
in the first set speech of his trans-con'
tinental trip assailed the admlnlstra-
ton vigorously for it's foreign policy
its Mexican policy, for appointing men
who he termed inexperienced TO dlp1o-
matte posts and for what he charac-
terized as a raid upon the civil SER
vice of the United States"
"He kept us out of war, Mr..
Hughes said, referring to the presl-
dent and a Democratic slogan. yet
we seized Vera Cruz. That was war
very ignoble war. And it was call
ed war over the bodies of those dead
soldiers; it was called war OF ser
vice.
Talk about what is your policy.
What is the presidents poltcy-does
any one know? Has the executive
ever had a policy for more than six
months on the Mexican question? l
repeat: Who knows today what the
policy OF the administration will be
three months hence? The trouble Is
that this administration has written
such a record that no matter what 1t
says you do no know whether it
will stick to it.
1--WE have had an exhibition during
the past three years which I confess
fills me with a deep sense of shame.
I have not a particle of militaristic
spirit in my system, but If I am elect
ed president will see to it that Amer
ican rights in Mexico are respected"
Mr.. Hughes assailed the administra-
TONS course toward upholding Amer
lean rights abroad during the Euro
pean war.
When say that am an American
citizen" the nominee said, 81 ought
to say the proudest thing that any
man can say in this world. But you
can't have that pride if American citi-
zenry is a cheap thing, if it is not
worthy of protection this wide world
over. There is no man who could sue
cessfully present to an American COM
munty the platform that an American
citizens rights stop at the coast line
and that beyond that American life is
to be the prey of any marauder that
chooses to take it."
