Thousands Hear Him in
Thirty-five Hour Ride
to San Francisco.
TALKS OF TARIFF
Declares There Is Deprecia-
ton of American Repute
in Country.

MEDFORD, Ore, Aug. IL
1Vl Charles E. Hughes, southbound
on his 35-hour ride from Portland ia
San Francisco, talked of the tariff
and the national honor today to
crowds which assembled at stations
along the way. From the rear plat
form of his car the nominee made
four addresses at Riddle, Roseburg,
Grants Pass and here. In each he
also summarized his stand on pre-
paredness, protection of American
rights and industrial cooperation.
At Riddle Mr.. Hughes declared that
a depreciation in American repute"
due 10 a policy of vacillation" had
brought the country nearer to war
than had firm and consistent policy
been maintained.
Those who think we are decadent
and weak and have not got the old
spirit are very much
mistaken" he said. They do not
represent the country"
In his address at Grants Pass Mr.
Hughes defined dominant American
ism as follows:
I'VE must have a good drive ahead.
and there is no reason why in this
country with its ability and natural
resources we should not have perma-
nent prosperity. To do that we must
look after our own. That is what |
mean by dominant Americanism, able
to take care of American interests
"Wo want the friendship and good
will Of all the nations of the world.
They are very friendly disposed to US.
But If we are to keep out of trouble
we must respect ourselves and have
others respect us"
After his speech in San Francisco
tomorrow night Mr.. Hughes will re-
main in the city until Sunday night
and will discuss with Republican and
Progressive leaders campaign affairs.
The nominee spent most of today rest
ing lie said he felt "bully" and that
his voice was improving.

'to call the attention of the country

this session of congress will aggregate
approximately sl,7OO.OOO.O0O, as

Moreover the minority does not
feel called upon at this time to pro-
vide suggestions of ways and means
for additional revenue The state
mcnt that this additional revenue is
needed for preparedness is entirely
misleading. The wasteful and ill
advised appropriations for projects
that were unnecessary, the creation
OF thousands of additional offices and
general extravaganza in expenditures
in all departments of the government,
together with the failure of existing
legislation passed under the present
administration to provide sufficient
revenue, even under normal condi-
tions. places the responsibility dis
tinctly on the party in power to show
the way to provide sufficient revenue

w istration senate leaders, con-
fronted by the determination of Sen
ator Owen to press his corrupt prac-
tices bill at this session of congress,
made an agreement with the Repub-

A vote on the shipping bill prob
ably will be permitted by the Rcpub-
licans tomorrow or Saturday under
this agreement.
The days developments had served
to renew hope for an early adjourn
ment of congress when advocates OF
the immigration bill injected new
disturbing feature. Senator Borah in
the course of a speech on the shipping
bill referred to the need for immedi-
ate immigration legislation. and the
resulting discussion revealed evi-
dences of another Democratic revolt.
Senator Hardwick announced it was
the intention of Chairman Smith of
the immigration committee to call up
the measure before adjournment. and
Senator Ashurst. another Democrat.
said he hoped such a motion would
be made soon and that he would not
be bound by the Democratic caucus
which voted to delay the measure un-
til December

During the day there was gossip
among Democratic senators that
President Wilson might not veto the
bill if 1t should be presented to him.
There was, however, no authoritative
information on that subject.
Mention of immigration diverted at
tention from the shipping bill for
several hours, Senators Dillingham;,

Six Determined Attacks
Northwest Of PoziereS
Are Repulsed.
RUSSIANS RESTING?
General Cadorna Strength
ening Lines for Aus
trian Offensive.

ONDON, Aug. 17.-G1:36 p. MI
IL Six determined German counter
attacks on the British trenches north
west of PoZieres were repulsed with
heavy losses to the attackers, accord
ing to the official statement issued by
the war office tonight. Northwest of
Bazentin the British captured about
one hundred yards of German
trenches.
For the first time in weeks no
change of importance was reported in
any theater of the war Thursday The
most violent fighting took place on
the western end of the British salient
on the Somme. Six times the Ger
mans advanced in force in a desperate
effort to bend back the British lines
northwest of pozieres. London re-
ports that all of these assaults were
repulsed with heavy losses and that
the British in turn captured about
one hundred yards of trenches north
west of BaZentin.
An interesting feature of the situa-
tion on the western front is that tho
Germans, contrary to their usual prac-
tice, have so far made no attempt to
deliver a counter attack in the region
where the French and British claim to
have captured nearly tnree miles OF
trenches Wednesday. The French are
busily consolidating their gains and
report no action of Importance on any
section of their front, including the
Verdun regiCn.
Where Are Russians?
Some mystery exists as to the sit
uation on the eastern front. For two
consecutive days the Russians have
confined themselves to statements
that nothing of Importance has oc-
Cured.
The Austrian and German war Of
fices have been almost equally un-
communicative. The only fighting
mentioned by Vienna was the repulse
of Russian attacks on the lines or
General Won Roehm- Ermolli who is
in command of the Teutonic forces
retiring from the Tarnopol front. Ber-
lin reports the rcpulse of Russian at
tacks south of Brody.
The lull in the Italian operations
against Triest is unofficiJily explained
from Rome as due to General Ca
dornas desire to straighten his lines
before proceeding with a general Of
fensive against the great Austrian sea-
port. Austrian seaplanes again have
raided Venice, but Rome says they
caused only slight damage.

his proposal that they accept the

to come to the White House for

There is every indication that If the

Acceptance of the proposal by the

what will be the effect of an appeal
such as president, speaking in the
name of the welfare of a nation, can
make. But from such Information
as can be gathered it appears that the
railroad presidents. If the managers
