 RUSSIANS PRESSING ON

Austrian front. and heavy battles are being fought in all theatres.
 The British and French started a fresh combined attack on Sunday from Delville wood to the SOmme and made dogged progress which brought them near the village of Maurepas. The misty weather which has hindred the operations has given place to clear skies. with intense heat. The Germans are making the most decided counter attacks and officially claim that the Entente allies have not gain ed a foot of ground by Sundays at- tacks.
 The Russians are continuing their success and. notwithstanding the strongest German resistance. are pres sing ever closer to Novel. According to tonight's unofficial news they are across the StOkhod over the whole stretch between the Kovel-Sarney and Kovel- Rojitsche railroads.

VACILATING MEXICAN POLICY ABLY RESENTED
Intense Heat Fails to Discour- age Great Crowd Which Listened to Harding and Nominee for Hours
(Bv Review Leased Wire. l


 NEW YORK, July 31.-"It was an admirable speech and wish To call attention to the following points," said Colonel Roosevelt in a statement issued after the meet ing:
 ''l am particularly pleased with The exposure of the folly and worse than folly of MT. Wilson's Mexican policy and of the way in which his policy has brought humiliation to the United States and disaster to Mexico itself.
 Moreover, I am glad of the straightforward manner in which MT. Hughes has shown the ridicule with which MT. Wilson has characterized this nation. by the manner in which he allowed foreign powers to gain used the strongest words in diplo- macy. they were not to be taken se- riously.
 That Fearless Eloquence
 MT Hughes also speaks in charac- teristically straightforward fashion of the outrages committed on munitions plants. and all men, whether citizens of foreign nations or national citizens of our land who in one shape or an other has condoned these actions. can understand that MT. Hughes. if pres dent. will protect these domestic am intuition interests and punish offend CTS against them with the fearless ness and thOroughness that he used in dealing with the power of evil at Albany
 Lust before coming in to listen to MT. HUohes' just characteriza tion of MT. Wilson's failure to protect the lives and property of Americans in Mexico and on the hioh seas. l hsnpened to look up John Fiske's Critical Period of American Hcstory' and was struck by the following two sentences:
 "'A government touches the lowest point of ionominv when it confesses its inability to protect the lives and property of it's citi gems.
 A government which hss come to this has failed in dis:hsr ruinu the primary function of uovern ment and forthwith ceases. to have any reason for existisn
  "Mr Hughes has pointed out in his speech with self restraint but with emphasis. that it is precisely this pri- mary function which MT. Wilson's ad- ministration has failed to discharge and that if is precisely this point of ignominv to which he has reduced the nation over which he is presi- dent"
 When Mir. Hughes appeared on the stage with Senator Warren c. Hard ing. chairman of the notification com mitee. he was greeted with enthusias- tic applause by a crowd which packed the big hall.

 Foreign Policy Weak"
 Safeguarding of American rights abroad had not been accepted by the administration. he said There were brave words in a series of notes" but what does il avail to use some of the strongest words known to dip lOmacy if ambassadors can receive the impression that words are not to be taken seriously?"
