Now Down TeutOn Forces.

Paris, June 6.-In their attacks on
Fort Vaux. one of the outlying de-
fenses of Verdun along the front east
of the Meuse, the Germans are hurting
their infantry in masses so compact
that the first ranks are obliged to ad-'
vance to certain death.
The assaulting columns debouch
from the village of Damloup, below
the fort, and separated from it by
ravine, which they ere obliged to cross
to attain the slopes near the fort. For
three days this spot has been the scene
Of carnage which has saturated the
ground with blood.
One German column advanced no
further than the bottom of the ravine.
The front ranks, pushed on by those
behind, fell as fast as they reached
the deadline swept by the French
quick-firers.
As they toppled over, others came
on to take their places and fall in
turn. French officers, although hard
ened to the worst sights of war, de-
clare the butchery there surpasses
imagination.

London, June 6.-Russia, by taking
the offensive on front of $50 miles,
has started a new phase of the war,
while the fighting about Ypres be-
tween the British and Teutons indi-
Gates the possibility of concerted ac-
tion.
Russia claims to have taken $4,000
prisoners, and both Petrograd and Ber-
lin confirm the reported renewal Of
activity in the East.
This movement comes at a time
when many persons were growing
skeptical about the long-projected
spring offensive by the Allies, and
there will be considerable interest in
the movements of the next few days
to determine whether the present ac-
tivity is to be construed as the begin
ming of the great effort on all fronts.
There has also been increased activ-
ity in the Balkans in the last few days
that may be construed as preparation
for big movement in that region.
Take Many Prisoners.
Petrograd (via London), June s.
Russian forces have won great sue
cesses along the front from the Pripet
marshes to the Roumanian frontier,
according to an official announcement
issued here today. 1t is stated that
the Russians took $4,000 prisoners.
London, June 6.-The region Of Vaux
and Damloup, northeast of Verdun, has
been the scene of further futile at
tempts of the Germans to pierce the
French lines.
All the attacks were set at naught
by the French fire, except a night at

Largest of Dreadnaughts.

London, June 6.-British officers Of
the fleet which participated in the Jut-
land battle and have returned here
identify two German warships sunk
as the superdreadnaughts Hindenburg
and the battle cruiser Lutzow.
The Lutzow, battle cruiser of
$4,000 tons, was completed in 1915.
She was armed with eight 12-inch,
twelve 6-inch and twelve 24-pounder
guns, and equipped with five torpedo
tubes. Her armor belt was about 13
inches in thickness amidships. She
was $50 feet long, 95 feet beam and
drew 27h feet. She was of the latest
and most powerful hattie cruiser type.
The Hindenburg is not listed in the
latest naval records. It has been re-
ported, however, that she was bat
tleship of the largest and most power
full dreadnaught type, launched in the
fall of 1915.

Barbara Worth Hotel
Is Sold to w. f. Holt

The Barbara Worth hotel this morn
ing passed to w. F. Holt for $31,750
al trustees sale.
The local company organized to
build the hotel appealed more to the
local patriotism Of the people than to
their sense of profit, and many of
the stockholders looked on their in
vestment as a donation.
The cost of the hotel ran far beyond
the original plan, reaching S247, 900,
and trust deed was placed on it to
raise funds for it's completion. 1t
was this deed on which the trustees
sale was held today, Mr.. Hollis au-
ditor, Mr.. Driver, buying in the prop
erty.

are numerous losers, except as the
investment may benefit the general

opened up several days ago, deluging
the Canadian positions and the sur
territory with shells.
Then the German infantry advanced
along an extended front of alomst two
miles, capturing trenches.
In series of counter attacks in
which bombs and bayonets played an
part, the Canadians re-
gained most of the lost ground and
have reorganized their positions.
On the Russian front violent artil
iery duels are going on in the Bessa-
rabian and Volhynian sectors. Several
Russian infantry attacks against the
Austrians were repulsed.
The Italians in the region of Ar
serio are holding the Austrians from
further advances in the desperate
struggle that is gcing on in this re-
gion. The Austrians with large eff
fectives attempted to break through
the Italian line in the direction Of
Onaro, but were driven back. The
bombardments are still heavy on the
other sectors of the Austro-Italian
front.
According to unofficial advices from
Salonika, General Sarrail, the French
commander, has declared martial law
in the entire zone occupied by the En-
tente allies and the Allied troops have
taken over the telegraph office, the
port and customs house at Salonika.

With the adoption Of Amendment

initiative and referendum law as ap-
proved by President Wilson.
or our initiative and referendum
system, President Woodrow Wilson
says: Back Of all reform lies the
method of getting it. That they
are the necessary Instruments in the
hands of the people to secure these
reforms. They are the key that
opens the door to our legislative
house. = The initiative is a means
OF seeing to it that measures which
the people want shall be passed when
legislatures defy or ignore public
opinion. The referendum is a means
OF seeing to it that the unrepresenta-
tive measures which they do not want
shall not be placed upon the statute
book
II will be remembered that Mr..
Bryan made many speeches in Arkan-
sas IN favor of the initiative and ref
erendum prior to the adoption Of our
present law Fer eighteen years he
has been an earnest advocate of this
legislation, and makes the emphatic
statement that. Il regard the initia-
tive and referendum as the greatest
modern Improvement IN strengthening
representative government"
Mr.. Bryan could not foresee when
advocating the passage of Amend
ment No. 10, our present initiative
and referendum law, that a legisla-
ture would destroy much of its value
to the people through an enabling act.
and that the courts would detraet
much from its usefulness by inter-
pretations OF its meanings contrary
to the intentions of its trainers, but

VIII Initiative and Referendum
laws have an influence in interesting
citizens to take a greater interest in
politics and depend more upon their
own thinking and less upon political
leaders, We think both of these
questions should be answered yes.
Under present systems of making
laws the average citizen takes little
interest as he knows the sole power
is vested in the legislature and that
he must put up with what is done re-
CARELESS of whether he likes it or
not. and the LEGISLATOR takes the same
view very often, knowing that he can
find seemingly good excuses for un-
filed campaign pledges.
But with initiative and referendum
laws in force the humble citizens at
home know that they have sure
means of Introducing legislation if
their preventative fails to do so,
and an equally sure means OF pre-
venting obnoxious laws going into
effect. Therefore they take a keener
interest in studying the effect of pro-
posed legislation, and have a greater
incentive to pay their poll tax, Know
ing that their votes will be counted
where they will do good, on an mi
tiative and referendum petition if re-
CURED.
If you believe in a government of,
for and by the people vote for Amend
ment Ne. 13.

TIE SUPREME COURT AND The
PEOPLE.

The Supreme Court often thwarts
the wishes of the people by declaring
laws they make unconstitutional.
Sometimes these laws are SO much in
DOUBT that the judges differ among
themselves Now the people are and
should be the supreme judge, unless
they are clearly in the wrong. Whom
the Judges disagree on the constitu-
tionality of a law adopted by the peo-
pie, the people should be given the
benefit of the doubt. Amendment No.
Is provides that the judges must be
unanimous in decision TO defeat
Law adopted by the people.

SPLIT AT POLLS
German Vote VIII Be Divided
on Election Day.
Many Teutonic Progressives
Call at Hughes Headquarters.

New York, June 16.-Citizens of
German lineage Joined the procession
of former Progressives into Hughes
headquarters here with tidings of good
cheer.
Congressman William F. stafford OF
Milwaukee, after few words with
the Republican candidate, said:
In my opinion, most of the Ger
man-Americans, so-called, are SIM pie
American citizens, as patriotic as any
others and anxious to express this SEN
timent through their choice of presi-
dent. 1 have no doubt that the Ger
man-Americans will vote at the next
election with an eye solely to their
best interests as American citizens"
Edgar Won Francken, a writer on
economics from Washington, gave
further emphasis to this point.
Alliance Not Strong.
THE majority of the German-Amer-
fcans,'' he said, will not be swayed by
any propaganda on the part of the
German-American alliance. They will
divide at the next election strictly
upon American party lines. 1t is a
fact that about so per cent of the
German are Democrats on
local issues and Republicans in nation
al politics. And it is further a fact
that quite a number of German
Americans are attending the st. Louis
convention, believing President Wilson
represents Americanism without re-
gard to any specific foreign policy"
Mr.. Hughes listened to these express
sions of sentiment with the same
thoughtful air that he is receiving all
communica tons these days. He has
turned his headquarters for these first
days of his campaign into a political
melting pot. He is frankly looking for
ideas. Out of politics for six years, he
is politically rusty. So he is listening
to everybody who comes along and
saying little in reply.
Silent on Hyphen.
Mr.. Hughes declined again to make
any comment on politics of any kind
and specifically to give one on the
subject of hyphenism. At the same
time, in private talks he allowed it to
become known that in his letter of ac-
ceptance and as occasion develops
through the campaign, he will leave
no doubt as to where he stands upon
all the issues which confront the ma
| ton. For the present he is preparing
himself for the fight ahead.
Practically his first political confer
ence of importance will be held today,
when he will meet Governor Whit
man. The governor will reach the
city on the Hudson navigation steam
boat TrO jan.

obtained from the lips of the twelve
survivors of the cruiser HAMPSHIRE
with which Earl Kitchener and his
staff went down, have been made pub
JIG in an admiralty report here
The statement repeats that the
Hampshire was sunk by a mine, con-
Itradicting hints in some papers that
she fell prey to a hostile submarine.
The following conclusions were
reached from examination of the
cruisers twelve survivors:
Between 1880 and 7:45 o. m. the
vessel was mined and began to settle
by the bows. hee1ing to starboard and
finally went down in fifteen minutes
Efforts were made unsuccessfully
to lower boats, one of which was
broken in half during the process, its
occupants being thrown into the
water
"As the men were moving to their
stations Earl Kitchener, accom- panied
by naval officer, appeared. The lat
ter called Make way for Kitchener
Both went to the quarter deck. Sub
sequent1y, four military officers were
seen on the quarter deck walking aft
on the port side.
The captain called to Lord Kitch-
ener to come to the forebridge, near
the captains boat. He was heard
calling to Kitchener to get into the
boat, but no one was able to say
whether Lord Kitchener entered the
boat or what occurred to this boat nor
did anyone see any boats clear the
ship.
Three RATS were safely launched
with fifty to seventy men aboard each
and cleared the ship. 1t remain ed
