Paris.-The battle OF the Somme
again has become the principal the
ater of the war British and French
claim substantial gains, while all Ger
man counter attacks are repulsed
Russians report successes on east
front near Vladimir-Volynski Heavy
Russian attacks repulsed, declares
Berlin. Fortified bridgehead of Intra
kan captured by Germans and Bull
gars. Positions on upper Bowl cap
tured by Italians. Austrian assaults
repulsed. Turks and Russians in vio
lent battle near ognott,
London.-An enormous Zeppelin de-
stroyed on the far northern outskirts
of London during the raid now lies
dark tangled mass of stays, wires, en-
gines and other wreckage in the mid
die of a wheat field in the now IA
nous village of Cuffley.
Enveloped in flames, the great
aerial war machine fell from a tre-
mendous height. Its crew perished to
man; all were incinerated or dashed
to death.
The huge craft was one of the larg
est and most powerful German air
ships, it is believed, and was but one
of thirteen that raided the east coast
country The extent of the wreckage
is enormous and besides the remains
of the main body of the machine, the
remains of other portions were strewn
around, including those of the pro-
peller.
Ships of the entente allied fleet
sank Il German submarine Off Phale-
ron.
Vienna.-Rumanian attacks on the
Austrians in the important sector
around Orsova have been successful
and Orsova evacuated.
Athens-The French flag was hoist
ed on four German and three Austrian
merchant ships in the harbor OF
Piraeus.
London.-Keeping up their strong
offensive against the Germans north
and south of the Sonfne river in
France, the Anglo-French forces again
have driven their lines forward and
captured important German positions.
South of the Somme, the village of So
yecourt and part of the village of Yer
mandovillers have been captured,
while, seemingly more important still,
the French have made fresh progress
east of the village of Forest, which
lies one and one-half miles southeast
of the railroad town of Combles-a
gain which, taken with the capture of
Guillemont, apparently outflanks Com
bles and renders it untenable.
More than 5000 Germans were
made prisoner north and south of the
Somme in two days.
On the British right wing progress
is reported north of Falfemont farm,
while German counter attack north
west of Moquet farm was repulsed. In
the Verdun sector, Paris records a
fresh gain near Fleury.
Berlin, in admitting the claim of
British and French successes in the
fighting of Sunday in the Somme
region, says the battling over the
eighteen-mile front from Beaumont to
the Somme was of the greatest feroc-
ity. The Germans held their ground
at Thiepval, north of Pozieres and
near Ginchy, but Guillemont village
and wood We're lost, as likewise was
Ginchy, but a counter attack of the
Germans won back a portion OF the
latter town.

GOVERNOR IS WRITING
PARDON FOR STRIPPING

1t was learned from reliable sources
Tuesday afternoon that Governor Harris
has practically completed his order par
doning Thomas Edgar Stripping, now
serving a life term for murder at the
state prison farm near Milledgeville,
Ga, and it is expected that the docu-
ment will be made public in a few days.
thus freeing the famous prisoner
The governor has been busy with the
records in the case since he received
the unfavorable recommendation of the
state prison commission about two weeks
ago, and a few days ago, it is learned.
he began to write the order that will
free Stripping in accordance with a
promise made the prisoners little daugh-
ter several months ago.
At that time Governor Harris was on
an official visit to the state penitenti-
airy. Stripling's little daughter. who
was there at the time with her father,
learned who the governor was and made
the request that her father be freed.
Without hesitation Governor Har-
ris told her that he would grant
Stripping a pardon before his term of
office expired and he is about to make
good his word, as all that remains to
be done now is the completion of the
order and it's formal execution by the
prison authorities.

WAITE CALM AS DEATH
SENTENCE IS IMPOSED
Thanks Court for Kind Treat
ment and Says He Is Glad
to Expiate Crimes

NEW YORK, June DIR. Arthur War
rem Waite was today sentenced to die
in the electric chair during the week
of July 1O-the penalty for the murder
of his father-in-law, John E. Peck, of
which he was convicted.
When Dr. Waite was presented to the
bar his counsel moved that he be grant
ed a new trial. This was denied by the
&C urt. and sentence was then imposed.
When Justice Shearn concluded the
sentence, Waite delivered a short speech
in which he expressed appreciation of
the manner in which his trial was con-
Quoted, and his thanks to the court, the
pl osecutors and to his own attorney.
Dr. Waite said he was very sorry for
his crimes, and for the trouble and
Suffering he had caused others. He
declared that he hoped that by. sur
rendering his body for punishment he
would compensate in some small degree
for the deaths of his victims.
Waite entered the court room in Gus
tody of two deputy sneriffs, head erect
step firm an das cool apparently as if
tnefe were nOlnlnR more serious dnedu
of him than a tennis game. He adj
dressed the court with sauve politeness
and without a trace of agitation, al
though his voice wavered with an evil
dent touch of feeling as he spoke of his
sorrow for his crimes.
II thank the court" he said to Justice
Shearn. FOR the very fair and impartial
manner in which it has treated me.
also thank the jurors for the courteous
manner in which they listened to me-
1 feel that their judgment was justified.
MY sincere thanks are due to the
prosecuting attorney. Mr.. Brothers, who
was always nice with me. Mr.. Deuel.,
my counsel, is also entitled to my
thanks. He believed implicitly that
was not guilty.
II ask for forgiveness. / am very,
very glad to give my body in expiation
of the things l have done and | give
my soul freely to rectify my misdeeds
l hope it. will go on and on for ever
and ever to purge itself"
Waite was taken back to the Tombs
prison and an hour later was on his
way to Sing Sing. When he was search
ed before going to the court room this
morning a small pocket mirror, broken
in two places, was found in his pocket.
The pieces of glass were taken from
him

cession and deliver a flag day address
TO the marchers.

in it. The president also promised
that if possible he would give permis-
sion TO all government employees in
Washington to march. lie said that he
would start with the procession at the
beginning and march to the reviewing

show his personal interest in the de-

TEUTONS REFUSED IN
ATTACK ON DEFENSES
AT DEAD MAN HILL
Capture of Fortified Position
South of Hill Is Followed by
Another Decisive Victory for
the French
NV Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The momen-
.ous battle at Verdun shows no sign
of slackening in violence but the latest
official reports, in contrast with most
of those issued during the last few days
record no further advances from the
Germans.
The center of the bitterest fighting has
shifted somewhat to the southwest of
the front between Cumieres and Dead
Man hill, west of the Mouse, where
the Germans have scored most of their
recent gains. Dead Man hill or the
ground in it's immediate vicinity has been
the scene of'the latest infantry engage
ments. The Germans attacked the
French positions here last night, but
were completely repulsed, according to
this afternoons bulletin from Paris, the
German defeat following a success for
the French achieved yesterday when
they captured from the Germans for
titled position south of the hill.
Unofficial reports from Paris point to
the growing intensity of the desperate
struggle at Verdun. They declare, how
ever. that despite the tremendous efforts
of the Germans the French first line
west of the Mouse is still unbroken and
that the Germans must score further
adances before they can force the main
issue by carrying the battle to the OPP
poSlte Dank OF the MeuSe, WneFe tne
ras-Douaumont-VauX line continues to
bar a direct advance upon the fortress.
Current bulletins on the campaign in
the southern Ty;ol, record continual
gains for the Austrians, who are bat
tering at the line southeast of Boverto,
running through the regions of Schio,
ArsierO and Isagio Italians admit with
drawals along some sectors of this front,
but there as yet has been no breach
i'm the main line or their defense, which
bars the way to the Venetian plain.

COMMITTEE
IS MEETING At CHICAGO
Forty Contests, Involving
Seating of 81 Delegates, Will
Be Heard and Decided

CHICAGO, June 1.-TAe Republican
national committee met here today at
the Coliseum for the purpose of hearing
and deciding forty contests, involving
the right of sixty-two delegates to seats
in the national convention next Wednes-
day.
The committee which was called to
order by Chairman Charles ID. Hilles
made plans to devote three days tc
hearing arguments of the contestants
though several members expressed the
belief that not more than two DAYS
would be required in disposing of the
contests
Four years ago the national commit
tee held sessions over a period of more
than three weeks in order to hear the
several hundred contests, and much Bit
terness developed, but today there ts
comparatively little interest manifested
over the outcome as the result probably
will not seriously affect the fortunes of
any presidential candidate.
Chicago's great parade in the inter
est of preparedness, which will take
place on Saturday. June 8, will usher in
seven days that, 1t Is estimated, wilt
make Chicago the entertainer of the
greatest crowd of visitors it has ever
taken care of and which will fill hotels
and lodging houses as has not been done
since the Worlds Columbian exposition
of 1898.
After the preparedness parade, in
which 10000 persons are. expected 70
take part, will come various conven-
tions. On Monday June 5, the national
convention of women suffragists will
meet for a three-day session at the
Blackstone theater, and two days later
the Progressive National convention
will meet at thhe auditorium and the
Republican national convention at the
Coliseum.
How to house all the visitors expected
is a problem which has been puzzling

RESISTANCE THREATS
Reply to Caranza's Demand
for Withdrawal Is Being Pre-
pared for Immediate Trans
mission
lBy Associated Press.N

WASHINGTON, June lit was stated
authoritatively today that American
troops will not be withdrawn from
Mexico until the Carranza authorities
demonstrate control of the situation
sufficient to protect the American
border.
a reply to that effect probably will
be made to General Carranza's note.
President Wilson was represented today
as ready to withdraw the troops when
possible, but determined to wait until
the Carrauza forces can control the
situation.
Steps were taken by the war depart
ment today to obtain more definite in
formation of the disposition of Carran-
"a troops in Chihuahua 1t was said
that the. Carranza note prompted the
action of military officials without re-
gard to the diplomatic phases of the
situation.
General Funston has been asked TO
outline clearly the situation in Chihua-
hua, according to his most recent infor-
nation of the whereabouts of Carranza
detachments. No anxiety is felt for the
safety of General Pershing's columns,
but in view of the statements in Cen
eraI Carrana's note ii is desired TO
know as accurately as possible what
the movements of his forces are.
TO PROTECT BORDER.
1t was explained at the war depart
ment that the real mission of the ex-
petition at this time was to prevent
attacks upon the wide sections of the
border controlled by it's position in Mex
leo. AS a question of military strategy
it is considered that only force dis
posed as are General Pershing's troops
could accomplish that.
A large border garrison or patrol, il
was pointed out. might repel an attack
but could not make it impossible.
With General Pershing's forces ready
to break up any attempt by bandits to
assemble a force for a surprise attack
on an American. border town, officials
feel that renewal of raiding within the
zone controlled by his forces is vir-
tually impossible.
Cavalry patrols are active through
the territory on both sides of General
Pershings bases and his line of COM
munications, and war department Off
Gals hold that a condition of complete
security is being maintained in this re-
gion and along the border. despite the
allegations of the CarranZa note that
the expedition is 'interned in Chihua-
hua state lying idle and with no
military object, its position constitut-
ing continued menace to the peace
of the two countries.
No additional troop movements were
in contemplation today so far as

Field Artillery Ordered
To Concentrate at Douglas

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. June Three
batteries Of the Sixth field artillery will
lie concentrated at Douglas. Ariz., the
strategic point of a district opposite a
region in Mexico. where Sonora troops
have been concentrated. according to
announcement here today. General
Funston suggested 10 the war depart
ment a few days ago that such precau-
tons should be taken and the approval
of the department was received last
night. One battery of the Sixth is now
at Douglas. The two that will be sent
there will be taken from Laredo and
Eagle Pass, those batteries being re-
lieved by batteries of the Third. which
has been held here.
Reports from General Pershing failed
to indicate any increased activity in
the Mexican forces beyond his lines.
The gradual concentration of CarranZa's
troops in the north has been continued,
but no friction of any consequence be-
tween them and the American troops
has occurred
