 CHICAGO, June 7.-The keynote ad- dress of the progressive party's nation al convention here today, delivered by Raymond Robins of Chicago as tenn porary chairman, asserted in vigorous terms

 2. That the principle, however, is greater than the party, and if need be the progressives will go on alone;
 3. That preparedness is the para mount issue of the campaign, and 4. That Theodore Roosevelt is the man of the hour.

 CHICAGO H., June 7.-Reconsecra- tion, rather than recrimination-a plea for harmony and party reunion-was the keynote of the speech of Senator Warren Harding, of Ohio, at the Re publican National convention today. This speech, which occupied about an hour and quarter in delivery was well constructed and highly polished, but failed to arouse any degree of enthus- iasm He approved national defense, saying that security is economy. prom ised prosperity in return for a pro tective tariff, pledged for a merchant marine, attacked the government for it's "watchful waiting" and wobbling war fare and stated that business is never too big to be good and useful, nor too small to be protected and encour- aged.
 Raymond Robins had read less than a page of his keynote speech as tenn porary chairman of the progressive convention, when he mentioned the I name of Roosevelt and for an hour ant thirty-five minutes pandemoniun reigned.
 l The demonstration surpassed ths widest scenes of the republican or pro. gressive conventions of four years ago Delegates and spectators stood or chairs and shouted and yelled, waving hats and flags. All efforts of the 1 chairman to procure order were use less. State and club songs, cheers music by the band, chants of We wan Teddy" We'll Have Teddy" echoe and reechoed through the great flai Idraped room.

SEEMS NOW THAT HUGHES WILL BE
 THE: NOMINEE
His Boom Has Grown to Tremendous Proportions and Practical Politicians Forecast His Certain and Early Selection
Republican A. p, Leased WireI

CHICAGO, June i7.-More political leaders are predicting the nomination of Justice Charles Evans Hughes to- night than at any Itne since the re- publican national confeption began to assemble. They deckare that unless the action of overwlB Belming circum stantial evidence fails1 to reflect the situation in it's true light, the nomina- tion of the justice will come even sooner than has been predicted. The men who take this viev4' are practical politicians who do not Islake estimates unless they are based on careful can vass of the delegates The situatIOiqN is l illustrated best by the fact that con- feIences between leaders to discuss the availability of different candidates practically have ceased, indicating their | belief that majority of the dele
 gates already have reached a decision 1 to name Justice Hughes.
 l Convention observers find it impos- sible not to be impressed by the cOnfi- dent predictions of these leaders who
 say that the Hughes boom now has i grown to such formidable proportions that Colonel Roosevelt no longer holds the veto power which until this after noon had been conceded to him as part of the program to bring the re- publican and progressive parties into
 accord.
 Four days of constant and persistent effort to bring the two parties to- gether in which the personality of the
 man had been subordmate6 to harmony
 failed to bring the results desired and the trend from the outset was defi-
 nitely toward the nomination of Jus tice Hughes. Had Colonel Roosevelt
 announced during this period that he would not support the Justice, the
 leaders were prepared to turn to any
 one of the regular republican candi-
 dates The colonel remained silent . however, and because the managers of
 other candidates had fostered the
 Hughes boom for the purpose of elim-
 mating Roosevelt as a possibility it
 grew prodigiously and even a combina
 ton of the favorite son strength was
 powerless to check it. The reason for r this was that the candidacy of no
 other republican made any progress , and delegates pledged to favOrite sons
 found no other presidential possibility , but Justice Hughes to whom they car
 turn their strength. Justice Hughes 1 thus naturally became the choice oI practically all delegates instructed fol
 others. They became eager to go tC
 him as soon as they could secure re
 lease from their pledges.

 CHICAGO, June 7-The pro- gressive national convention opened in the Auditorium today with a record breaking demon stratlen for Colonel Roosevelt.
 For one hour and thirty three minutes the delegates and specta- tors roared, shouted and cheered

 Fort VauX, lying some five miles northeast of Nerdun, which for weeks past the French have been stubbornly defending against terrific onslaughts hy the Germans, has at last fallen into the hands of the Teutons, accotd- ing to Berlin. The men who defended the fort to the last surrendered to the Germahs who also captured a large number of guns, machine guns. and mine throwers.
 Paris. however. claimed the fort was stiR in French hands early Wednesday morning. but that since then it had been impossible to communicate with the fort owing to the violence of the bonlbardment.
 Gains of considerable proportions Iv the Russians over the Teutonic allies by the Turks over the Russians. and by the Germans over the British are recoreed in Fbe latest officiSl com munications In the region of Nerdun violent artillery combats are in prog ress while on the Austro-Italian line the Italians continue to hold the Aus /. trian from further advances. Tn the fighting that is going on from the Pripet marshes to the Ru- manian frontier the Russians in their i big offensive movement have dis ! lodged the Teutons from fortified po- i sitions and brought their aggregate of men captured up to about 41,0OO. Tkey also have taken IA machine guns and 49 bomb throWers.
 Among the men made prisoner are i geo officers.
