Third TICKET |.
IS INEVITABLE
Bull Moosers Said to be
Determined to Name
it Today
ROOSEVELT THE MAN
Attempt to Amend Party's Platform
to Favor Prohibition Fails By Vote
of 52s to 50

|. Chicago, June l0.-Convinced that
all conferences, proposals, and coun-
ter proposals are now unavaillng,
Progressive radicals entered the Bull
Moose convention today determined
to nominate candidate for Presi-
dent. A third ticket in the field is
considered an absolute certainty.
George w. Pekins met the chair
man of various State delegations in
his room at the Blackstone at 8
o'clock.
Perkins called the conference for
the single purpose of learning just
what the various delegations would
accept in the way of proposals look
ing toward the retirement of the
Progressives from the field.
He planned to suggest that word
might be received from T. R. and
to inquire what the delegations might
be expected to do if the Colonel
should declare he did not want to
make another race as third party
candidate.
There was feeling that the local
element in the convention might
force the nomination of Roosevelt,
with or without his consent.
Chester Rowell, of Fresno, CAL, who
has been one of the Perkins lieuten-
ants, declared early today that the
nomination of Roosevelt is certain.
AS a matter of courtesy, the con-
vention will await the final report
of the peace committee but after
that the fireworks will be in the field,
the radicals declare.
An attempt to amend the Progress
sive part s platform, as submitted
by the resolutions committee, so as
to include a declaration in favor Of
prohibition caused spirited debate
in the convention at the afternoon
session. On a roll call the amend
ment was defeated by vote of 523
to 80.
Oyster Bay, June 10.-1mmediate-
ly after the adjournment Of the Re-
publican convention last night, COL
mel Roosevelt assumed personal dir
ection of the Progressive convention
through his lieutenants over the
long-distance telephone. He was up

REGAIN, TERRITORY
TERRITORY
Austria Said to Have Lost 100000
Men-Czar Has Taken 1856 Pri-
sOners in Drive

Petrograd, June 1O.-With each
days official reports the magnitude
of the Russian successes over the
Austrians in Volhynia and Galicia
continues to grow.
In five days fighting, it is declar-
ed, the Russians have regained near
ly 1000 square miles of territory
which it cost the Germans and Aus
trians weeks to conquer.
Petrograd today places the Aus
trian casualties in the drive conser-
vatively at 10000, and by actual
count 7S,548 men and 1928 officers
have been made prisoners. Many OF
these were taken. when the Russians
exploded shrapnel in such density
behind the Austrian lines that the
men could not retreat through it.
The Russian bear is now tiger.
Petrograd, June 10-Five days
of furious offensive by the forces
of General Brussloff has crumplec
their opponents lines from the Kove
Sarny railway line to Bukowina,
driving them back an average of Il
miles.
In the Lutsk sector the Russians
appear to have completely broken
through, turning the left flank of the
Austrian armies and the right flank
of the German forces and capturing
Lutsk, the centre of number OF
radiating roads and railways. AT
several points the attacking Russians
have crossed the Ikwa and Styr
rivers and farther south they are APP
preaching the Stripa river.
The victories are attributable large.
ly to the avalanche of gunfire, which
swept away dozens of lines Of en-
tanglements and opened the way fol-
the troops, who swept through in ir.
resistable numbers. In some places
the Russians barrier fire cut off large
Austrian units which surrendered 4.
This accounts for the large number of
prisoners officially reported captured I.
The operation began in the vicinity
of Olyka, where skirmishing has been
frequently lately. Both sides appeared
to have been feeling for a weak spot
in their opponents line. The Rus
sian advance from this point, which
is % miles from Lutsk, was accom-
plished in 1-2 days. During the
long period of inactivity the Aus
trians constructed strong fortifca-
tions in this section. The topography
of the country also formed strong
natural defenses.
Military observers regard the opera.
tion as an extraordinarily brilliant
achievement and emphasize the able
leadership of General BrussiloH, who
conducted the Carpathian campaign
and made record for prisoners, guns
and munitions captured. Lutsk is ar
important link strengthening the con-
nection between the southwestern re.
pion and the northern section, and
the possession Of it by the Russians
is regarded as valuable step towarG
the recapturing of lost territory.
The possession of Lutsk is direct
menace to Lemberg, upon which place
the Austrians now are massing theil
forces.
The prisoners captured are said tc
be chiefly Hungarians and Austrians
They include a very small proper
tion of SIavs, who are chiefly EN-
ployed on the Italian front.
