The French and British striking with terrific force in three directions on the Somme front, have stormed nearly three miles of German trench es, driving forward at points to depth of 300 to 800 yards.
 The most important gains were made by the British and French troops striking north from the point where the allied lines meet.
 Maurepas and CIery. two of the most important points held by the Germans in this sector have been f1anked on both sides, according to the official statement issued by Paris. The road has also been reached be- tween Maurepas and GuillemOnt, the latter tovGl being the immediate ob- 1ective of the British. This advance, if maintained, brings the allies direct Iy in front of the large railroad town of CUmbIes.
 South of SOmme the French stOrmed German trenches over a length of about three quarters of mile driv- ing in a southerly direction from BellOy-en Santere. Paris reports that a considerable number of prisoners were taken in these operations.

ADVERTISING
 CLUB HEARS HUGHES.
Commercial Preparedness For Euro
 pean Competition.

Portland, Oregon, Aug. 16-CharIes E. Hughes in an address to the Port land Advertising club in which he ad voCated commercial preparedness for European competition through the agency of a protective tariff today branded as a traitor to his country the man who sought to build up his private fortune at public expense.
 "I'he man who tries to get the bet ter of the public for his private purse" the nominee said. lis a traitor to the government. We will go ahead and put these traitors out of business while we build up the business of the United States
 The commercial problems which the country will face after the war. Mir. Hughes said, will be greater than ever before.
 eve must save this country every day. It won't be saved by letting it drift. It won't be saved by taking everything for granted. Its indus tries won't be conserved by indulging in good wishes around the club table. We have got to take account of the lessons learned on the other side and apply them. We have got to con- slider honest business with the suc- cess and pride that it deserves and we have got to fearlessly condemn abuses.
 We now need the motive power of answering loyalty and a real con- sciOusness of national principle which will fill us with a dominant sense of loyalty Othe United States.
 With that we want a real gov ernment. We want to be well prepar- ed. well organized commercially and industrially. We have got to match organization with organization pre- paredness abroad with preparedness at home in all things"
 Tn opening his address, MT. Hughes declared that, while he was speaking to the Portland Advertising club, he was a member of the Republican Ad- vertising club.
 'For the present I am spokesman of that organization" he continued, Tt was not ever thus"
 After the laughter which greeted this remark had subsided the nominee con6nued.
 A short time ago. I was long on silence and short of talk; now I am long on talk and short on silence. The reason is that I was mandamused in Oregon
 In speaking of preparedness Mir Hughes said:
 T desire to see the United States holding it's head erect among the peoples of the earth, not trembling, not clustering, but ready for any emergency. We have in this country opportunities that dazzle the imagin- ation.''
 After his address MT. Hughes went for a four hour automobile ride along the Columbia highway.

LANSING TO INFORM
 SENATE COMMITTEE
About Treaty for Purchase of the
 Danish West Indies.

Washington, Aug 16. - Secretary Lansing was asked today to appear Friday before the senate foreign rela- tions committee to answer questions relating to the treaty for purchase of the Danish West Indies. The commit tee, at it's first meeting to consider the treaty, decided a personal explanation from the secretary would be necessary to satisfy some of the members re- garding details relating to business concessions in the islands and to the purchase price.
 Some of the senators on the com nalttee, although they favor the pur- chase, believe the S25,O00,0GO asked by Denmark is eNorbitant, especially in view of the fact that she offered to sell them for $5,O00.0O0 in 1902
 The committee will question MT. Lansing particularly, however, about business COnceIssiOns which the United States by the terms of the convention proposes to maintain. Among these are a license to a company called "Det Vestindiske kOmpagni," giving it rights to drain, deepen and utilize Cer- tain areas in St. Thomas harbOr and preferential rights as to commercial, industrial or shipping establishments in the harbOr. Another concession gives the same company the right to supply electric lights for the city of Charlotte Amalie.
 Included also are references to concession to the Floating DrydOck company of St Thomas, relating to the floating dock in the harbOr; sub sidiaries to the Indian Telegraph, con- sessions for establishment and opera ton of a telephone system in St. Thomas and St. CroiX, and various other business concessions.
 Senator Stone, chairman of the com mittee, said tonight the treaty would probably not be reported to the senate until next week.

BIG NAVAL PLAN
 HAS BEEN RATIFIED Only Minor Details of Measure Now Remain to be Worked Out.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Navy officers virtually have before them today the task of carrying out the largest pro- gram for building Warships ever adopt ed with a single appropriation by any nation.
 Although technically not completed, the naval bill, carrying S315, 5,8OO,O0O, has been approved in it's main pro visions by congress, and is in the hands of a conference committee only to settle minor differences between the house and senate on navy yard ap- propriations.
 Anticipating speedy disposition of the remaining questions, the navy de- partment already has begun plans for putting into effect provisions of the big building policy and increased per sonnel features approved yesterday by the house. The senate's building pro gram was ratified by a vote of 2S3 to 51. and the personnel increase by a vive voce vote. Senate increases in appropriations for navy yards were disagreed to, and it was voted to send the bill back to conference for deter imitation of these points.
 Indications today are that the con- ferees will reach an early agreement on the questions still in dispute, and that the bill will be laid before Presi- dent Wilson for his approval in a few days.
 increases written into the bill by the senate and approved by the house pro- vide for the construction of 157 war vessels within the next three years and an enlisted strength of "A 700 men.
 Navy officials, including Secretary Daniels, are greatly pleased with the bill. The secretary characterized it as a model of its kind. He declared also that building authorizations were the greatest ever passed in any country, and would place the United States second among the worlds navies.
