Afterwards there was discussion as

in owning automobiles used in trans
porting mail and In parcel post deliv-
cry particularly in cities.

Cress for the provisions for the railway

first step towards settlement of railway
mail transportation"

use second class mail privilege pay a
fair part Of what that service is worth,

TWO REGIMENTS RtDDLEn.
British Pay Honor to 1926 Surviving
German Heroes.


German Heroes.
Paris. July 19.-The capture of OWL
lers by the British necessitated one OF
the most sanguinary encounters of the
advance, wires a correspondent Of the
Liberte.
Nevertheless the British were we'll
rewarded for their effort, for they
gained possession of the broad highway
leading from Albert to Bapaume.
The village was defended for ten
days by two regiments of the Prussian
guard. The correspondent says that OF
these regiments only 126 men survived
and all Of these were captured.
It was at Ovillers that the British Of
fensive, which began July 1, was held
up while the remainder of the line was
advancing. From July on the village
was cut off almost completely from the
German rear. but 1t was not until July
IA that the desperate resistance of the
Prussian guard was overcome.
The defenders of the town suffered
from hunger and thirst, as the British
curtain of fire prevented the bringing
up of fresh supplies. Some of the Ger
mans are reported to have been
poisoned by drinking polluted water
from pond and others to have been
driven mad by the bombardment.
When the survivors left the village
as prisoners the British presented
arms in recognition Of the bravery OF
their defense.

Wilson's Friends to Fight.
AS the time for the reconvening OF
the convention after luncheon ap-
preached, the Havner- Wilson contest
assumed a more serious aspect than
ever There was a rumor that the Scott
county delegation from the Second dis
trict might bolt the unit rule and lead
an effort to stampede the convention
for Wilson. There was no confirmation
of this but leaders admitted that such
a plan might prove effective.
AS delegates poured back into the
Coliseum spellbinders for both candi-
dates fired verbal broadSides from op-
posite corners of the stage and emer-
gency bands brought in at the last
minute endeavored to arouse enthuSi-
asm for their respective employers.
The rumored action of the Scott
portant. If such a plan was in con-
temptation; leaders said there was no
telling what might happen.

Method Of Procedure.
Washington, July 1a,-Informal n
ferences between acting Secretary
Polk and Eliseo Arredondo, the M.xi-
today at the state department.
Altho press dispatches from Mexico
City have said the appointment had
been made of Mexican members of a
joint commission to undertake adjust
ment OF differences between the
United States and Mexico it was said
here today that no final agreement has
as to the method Of conducting the
negotiations been reached. 1t was
said also that II it should be deter
mined to name a commission the
American members could not be
headed by Henry Fletcher, Ambassador
to Mexico, because Mr.. Fletcher's Off
cial position would prevent him from
serving, in that capacity.
When told OF the message from
Mexico City saying Mr.. Rodgers had
informed the Carranza government
that the United States troops in
Mexico were to be withdrawn Mr.
Polk said Mr.. Rodgers had no au-
thority to make such statement and
the policy of the United States gov
ernment remained unchanged.
Both Mr.. Polk and Mr. Arredondo
after they had talked for half an hour,
said they had made progress but had
reached no final conclusion.

German Garrison,
With ll3 Men. Taken
By Army of Nine

Paris. July 19.-One Of the most s,trik-
ing episodes of the great Somme Of
fenSive was the taking of a field for.
at Breaches, and garrison OF 113, by nine
French soldiers. The fort had resisted
tnruout the artillery fire and the in
iantry attacks had been checked By
machine gun fire. BY lucky chance a
French officer discovered the precious
secret that the terrible bombardmene
had made the fort vulnerable at one
point. Selecting second lieutenant,
TWO sergeants, a corporal, and four
men, he led them on hands and knees
thru the long grass to the spot wner.'
tnere was breach in the defenses.
Iney/ reached their elective point
without the Germans learning Of the
approach.
Abruptly three of the French office, }
leaped in the works, shouting For
ward with the bayonets" and throwing
bombs, which exploded, into the dug
out. The other six men remained be-
hind ready to retreat if the attempt
failed.
But the Germans, taken unaware,
had not time to get their weapons and
gave up without show Of fight. When
one OF the number fell dead, fred point
blank by the commanding officers,
the Germans. 11S in ALL came out Of
the shelters and threw up their hands,
the French say.
Then the three French captors began
to feel nervous as they saw no reason
for the Germans not falling upon them
But at this point the other six hurried
in. Their resolute energy told on the
Germans who thought the new arrivals
were followed by many others. The
Germans in the fort threw down the
arms and the entire garrison was
marched to the rear escorted by the
nine captors, who had not lost man.

Republicans of Iowa Meet
In Convention at Des
Moines.
SACRIFICES FRIENDS
TO PURCHASE PEACE,
Reasonably Dry Plank and Fairly Good
Roads-DecIaration Secured in Plat
form-Havner's Nomination, at Ex-
pense Of Wilson, the Wete Candidate
Completes Deal = Wilson's Scotr
County Friends Plan Fight.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 19.-Buying
peace at the expense of his friends
was the big transaction of the day
in this convention consummated by
Harding managers.
The result was reasonable dry
plank in the platform at the ex-
pense of the wet republicans and
wet democrats who had supported
him in the primaries and fairly
good roads plank at the expense OF
the tax leaguers who have Waiced
to abolish the highway commission.
Havner's nomination, at the ex-
pense of Wilson, the wet candidate,
was the last deal to buy peace with
the drys.
Last might when the deal was
made to appease the enemy the
places on the committee on resolu-
tions were conceded to such drys
as Joe Allen, Senator Saunders of
Council Bluffs, and Senator Van
Law, of Marshalltown, and word
went out that the platform would
be drier than the democratic plat
form.
Then 1t became apparent that the
tax leaguerS were not going to be
permitted to abolish the highway
commission. Senator Berry, of In
dianola, was dumped over by Judge
Bradshaw. a Harding booster from
Polk county, for the express pur-
pose of keeping the platform free
from reaction on the road question.
How to deliver to Havner was
problem, for wet delegates are not
easy to handle. In Havner's con-
gressional district the vets from
Scott were delivered by the adop-
tion of unit rule in the district
caucus, which permitted lead
ers to vote vets Tor Havner who
would have stayed at home rather
than meet such a late. Hughes,
Harding and harmony has given
place to the Hughes, Harding and
Havner slogan.
