Fort VauX SurrenderS to Germans:
 Russians Capture 1000 Teut0ns

London, June 7.-Fort VauX. lying some five miles northeast of Verdun, which for weeks past the French have been stubbornly defending against the terrific onslaughts of the Germans, has at last fallen into the hands of the Teutons, according to Berlin.
 The men who defended the fortress captured a large number of guns, machine guns and mine throWers.
 Paris, however, says the fort was still in French hands early Wednes- day morning, but since then it has been impossible to communicate with the fort, owing to the violence of the bombardment.
 Gains of considerable proportions by the Russians over the Teutonlc al- lies, by the Turks over the Russians and by the Germans over the British, are recorded in the latest official communiQues from Petrograd, Con- stantinople and the London office.
 In the region of Verdun, violent artillery combats are in progress, while on the Italian-Austro front, the
  ans from further advances.
 In the fighting from the Pripet marshes to the Roumanian frontier, the Russians have dislodged the Teu- tonic allies from fortified positions, and brought their aggregate of men captured up to about 41,O00. They also have taken 77 guns, 134 ma chine guns and 49 bomb throwers. Among the men made prisoners are 900 officers.
 Turks Driving Russians.
 Constantinople asserts that in Asia Minor, in the Rope mountain dis tricts, the Russians have been driven eight kilometers from positions ex- tending over IS kilometers, suffering losses of more than 1000 killed or wounded. The fighting in this vicin- ity covers a front of 31 miles, with the Turks the aggressors.
 In Mesopotamia, the Turks claim to have defeated and dispersed the Russians wing, which was endeavor- ing to carry out an enveloping move ment near Khanikin, northeast of Bagdad, but Petrograd asserts that the Russians here have captured ad- dtiional Turkish positions and put to the saber seven battalions of Turks.
 The German and British are still fighting desperately in the vicinity of Ypres, both sides using their ar tillery in heavy bombardments and their infantry in occasional attacks.
 In an infantry attack against the ruined village of Hogge, the Germans captured the British front line trenches running through the village. but all attacks elsewhere failed. Around Verdrn, in the region of hill 300, on the right bank of the Mouse,

NOMINATION OF
 HUGHES CERTAIN

Chicago, June 7.--More political leaders are predicting the nomination of Justice Hughes tonight than at any time since the Republican convention began to assemble. Men who take this view are practical politicians who do not make estimates unless they are based on careful canvass of the delegates. Convention observers find it impossible not to be impressed by the confident predictions of these leaders, who say the Hughes boom now has grown to such formidabl proportions that Colonel Roosevelt no longer holds the veto power which until this afternoon had been cOnced edp to him as part of the program to bring the Republicans and Progress sive parties into accord.
 Chicago, June 1.-The Republican national convention assembled in the coliseum today, heard keynote speech by Senator Warren G. Hard ing of Ohio, perfected organization and adjourned until il o'clock to- morrow morning. It all took just two hours, and. it's lack of outbursts and strict attention to business was reminiscent of the Philadelphia con- venticn of 1900 that nominated Me- Kinley and Roosevelt.
 For 1 hour and 20 minutes Senator Harding delivered carefully pre- pared speech. punctuated with ap- plause. but at no time did demon- stration occupy more than half a minute.
 Those of the old-time leaders pres ent who used to march down the aisles to the tune of an uproar walked in today almost unrecognized. w.. Murray Crane, Senators Lodge. Reed Shoot and a lot of the others came in practically unnoticed, probably be- cause the majority of the delegates did not even know them by sight. Chanucey Depew was surrounded by small admiring group. Senator Penrose got a reception from his own delegation Governor Whitman was recognized by some, but on the whole the convention was more interested in wandering what was going on in the auditorium where the Progress sives were in session, than it was in the arrival of the men who hitherto have decided what the convention shall do with itself.
 The hour of assembling was set for II o'clock, hut there was no sem- blance of order and no one made any pretense of securing order. The delegates talked in the aisles. the spectators overflowed into the spaces reserved for the delegates and hun dreds of seats on the floor and in the galleries were empty.
 Hilles Starts Work.
 Finally. Chairman Hilles gave the signal for calling the convention to order, and the police began moving about, urging the delegates into their places. Finally at 11:2S Chairman Hilles brought down the gavei with a resounding whack
 "The hour of II o'clock has arriv- ed, and a quorum being present, the convention will be in order. Para phrasing remark made by the late

New York, June 7.--Refusal today of Elisha Lee, chairman of the mana gers of the railroads of the United States, to answer question by the em- ployes' representatives as to just where the railroads stood on the wage scale, the objective point of their con ference here, brought storm of pro- test from the questioners, and yester- days threats to terminate the confer ence were reiterated by the union leaders.
 The union men charged the mana gers with bad faith, and declared that the latter had made them run the gamut of questions as to how the en- ployes stood, but were unwilling to answer questions themselves, MT. Lee finally restored order, saying:
 "Now, l get your point of view, and signified his intention to answer the questioner Mr. Lee asserted that the mems queries were such as could not be answered off hand He said satisfactory replies would be made to- morrow.

THE LIMIT OF POLITENESS

A certain professor is unusually
courteous, both in and out of the
classroom. One day he made bon
fire in his back garden. The flames
creeping rapidly through the dry
stubble, frightened him, and he be-
lieved his house was in imminent
danger. So he ran wildly down the
street, crying at the top of his voice:
Help! Fire! Fire! Help"
And then, as if thinking himself too
abrupt and urgent, he politely added,
so his neighbors say:
"That is, all those who can conven-
iently do So"

County Judge c. M. Philpot has concluded a contract with Dr. B. c. Pyattt by which the county is reliev- ed of all expense of the care oi county convicts during the year 1916, and also the cost of prosecution. For a while it appeared that there would be none to bid for the use of the con- victs, and that the county would be called upon to bear the cost of their maintenance in prison. D. B. Niven worked the convicts on shares With the county last year, but the arrange ment did not prove profitable to either side. tg
 By the terms of the contract Judge Philpot has negotiated with Dr. Py- att, the Sherrill physician planter will pay all the costs of conviction. accept delivery of the convicts at the jail, feed, clothe, guard and administer to their physical welfare.
