With His Wife.
Spends Working Hours in ST.
Ience in His Library.

washington, June 2.-Justice
Hughes, through his secretary, said
today that neither Frank Hitchcock
nor anyone else is authorized to work
for the nomination of the justice at
Chicago.
Justice Hughes has no representa-
tive ard there is no man authorized to
use his name as a presidential posi-
bility," said the secretary, Lawrence
H. Green.
He said he was surprised that the
impression had been gained that
Hitchcock might be acting with the
authority of the justice.
I'VE supposed the public knew that
Justice Hughes has no representative
nor anyone who has been authorized
in the slightest degree" he added.
Likes His VictroIa.
The justice is sticking close to his
library these days. Except for Mon
days he spends all his work hours, and
they are many, in his library studying
cases. Supreme court justices have
no offices except their own libraries.
If he has business down town, he
walks-a distance of two or three
miles or more-or rides with Mrs.
Hughes in their electric.
The justice knows little society"
except official events from which
there is no escape. One of his recrea-
tons is his Nictrola and another his
children.

CRAVE OF FRANCE
Thus Germany Styles the YER
dun Battlefield.
French Manhood Melting Away
Like Snow.
BY GEORGE BERNARD.

German Headquarters, Before Yer
dun, June 2.-(Specia Ito the Berlin
Vossische Zeitung)-This is not a
struggle for a fortress or a town, but
a struggle for the life, strength and
bones and blood of two great nations
In this unparalleled struggle is sym
bolized the whole meaning of the
world war. We have been thrown
back into the ancient times when the
object of the war was the destruction
Of the enemy tribe.
The French losses are enormous.
The French manhood is melting away
like snow. Thus, too, the IA weeks of
battle have caused sacrifice after
sacrifice, but a simple reckoning shows
the tremendous difference between
our losses and the French losses.
Tribute to Enemy's Pluck.
For the French to call it a, victory
because they still hold Verdun is
tragic, grotesque, unworthy of their
conduct. We have every respect for
the patriotic spirit and soldierIy dis
clpllne of the French. No one knows
better than our troops of the endur-
ance OF the French resistance, the
plan of their attack, the brilliant quail
tues of their artillery and the tire
lessness with which they repeatedly
throw up defenses against u.s.
What the French have done since
the beginning of the German attack in
February is indeed amazing. They
must have worked behind the front
day and night with the industry of
bees Every strip of ground to which
they may be forced back is equal to
another fortress line.
French, Obstacles of Peace.
All of our attacks met with the
a toe fc.f@
ward. 1t is the French who are the
chief obstacles to peace. They cannot
see the dark clouds hanging over
them They do not see on this one
fighting ground more than one-haIf of
their forces being destroyed by Ger
man power.

The following quotation is from n

Steamship company. The American
citizen who advocates preparedness"
for peace or for war-will do well
to ponder these things:

Of consumption which we could per-
fectly well dispense with is the drink
traffic. l am not thinking now of the
temperance side of the question. I'm
portant though that Is, we have got far
beyond that now. / am thinking Of
the demand which the trade makes
upon the services of our ships, our
railways and carts, and of our labor.
Thirty thousand tons a week of barley
and other products are brought into
this country for the brewing and dis
tilling trades Think of the demand
which this makes on the depleted re-
sources of our mercantile marine.
Then all this stuff, together with the
larger quantity which is grown at
home, has to be carted and hauled by
rail to the brewery or dlstillery. Then
1t has to be brought back again and
distributed to the consumer. In addi-
tion to this, e,000 miners are kept per-
manently employed in getting coal, and
$4,000 tons Of coal to be sent every
week to these breweries and distll-
