Hughes told the graduates that the

Alluding then to the beauty of the

Justice Hughes was presenting an
American flag to the honor graduates

Two More German Attacks

TO RETAIN TRENCHES
Teutons Now in Possession of a Mile

Section.

LONDON, June s-Two attacks by
the Germans on the French lines be-
tween Fort Vaux and Damloup on the
Verdun front were repulsed by the
French last night, according to an ON
cial statement issued by the war office
today The heavy bombardment of
Fort Vaux continues. with intermittent
cannonading on the west front.
French troops on the right bank Of
the River Mouse last night made four
determined efforts to eject the Ger
mans from positions on Fumin ridge,
says the official statement issued to-
day at German army headquarters. All
the attempts were repulsed by the
east Prussian regiments with especial
Nv heavy losses, the statement adds to
the attackers.
The French still hold the main fort at
Vaux and all approaches except the
northern moat. in which the Germans
gained lodgment several days ago.
The Germans are now directing their
efforts toward bringing up masses of
reinforcements through the ravines be-
tween Vaux and Damloup for the pur-
pose of gradually wearing down the de-
termined resistance Of the French. AL
though two infantry attacks were made
the previous rushes The conclusion is
drawn by French commentators that the
heavy recent losses of the Germans are
compelling them to proceed less vigor-
ously for the moment while they are re-
forming their scattered and decimated
units
Situation at Ypres.
The Times correspondent at British
headquarters, describing the situation at
Ypres. explains that the Canadian forces
were unable to retain their ground re-
captured from the Germans last Satur-
day owing to the intensity of the Ger

trenches and killed driven off the

Canadians found themselves again un-
der the same terrific artillery fire as
had preceded the first enemy assault
Friday. Everywhere the trenches them

fire or heaped with dead. To hold the
positions won was impossible. for the
mere reason that no one there could
live.

The Germans are now in possession

of $50 yards back from the original

WHERE MR. HUGHESSTANDS

Following are excerpts from the statement issued Saturday af
on by Mr.. Hughes, after the acceptance by the president of his re
ton from the supreme bench:
stand for Americanism that knows no Interior purpose,
for a patriotism that is single and complete. Whether native
or naturalized, of whatever race or creed, we have but one
country and We do not for an instant tolerate any division of
allegiance.
1 believe in preparedness, not only entirely adequate for
our defense with respect to numbers and equipment in both
army and navy, but with all thoroughness to the end that in
each branch of the service there may be the utmost efficiency
under the most competent administrative heads.
But W e are devoted to the ideals of honorable peace. We
wish to promote all wise and practical measures for the just
settlement of international disputes. In view of our abiding
ideals, there is no danger of militarism in this country.
We have no policy of aggression; no lust for territory; no
zeal for strife. = = We must have the strength which self
respect demands, the strength of an efficient nation ready for
every emergency.
I stand for the firm and unflnching maintenance of all
the rights of American citizens on land and sea. neither
impugn motives underestimate difficulties. But it is most
regretably true that in our foreign relations W e have suffered
intellectually from the weak and vacillating course which has
been taken with regard to Mexico-a course lamentably wrong
without consistency; and while seeking to dictate when we
were not concerned, we utterly failed to appreciate and dis
charge our plain duty to our own citizens.
I desire to see our diplomacy restored to its best stand
ards and to have these advanced; to have no sacrifices of the
national interest to partisan expediencies; to have the first
ability of the country always at its command here and abroad
in diplomatic intercourse; to maintain firmly our rights under
international law.
as military. Our severest tests will come after the war is over
We must make a fair and wise readjustment of the tariff, In c.
cordance with sound protective principle, to insure our economic
independence and the maintenance of American standards OF
living.
We must conserve the just interests of labor, realizing that
in democracy, patriotism and national strength must be rooted
in even-handed justice.
7 deeply appreciate the responsibility you impose. should
have been glad to have that responsibility placed upon another.
But L shall undertake to meet it, grateful for the confidence
you express.
