The long expected offensive of the Russians against the Teutonic allies has seemingly begun. From both Petrograd and Vienna come reports that the Russians are actively engaged over front from the Pripet river, east of Brest-Litovsk, to the Rumanian frontier-a distance of about 25o miles.
 The Russians everywhere are using large numbers of guns and men and according to Petrograd have achieved successes on many important sectors, taking 13.0OO prisoners and number of guns and destroying or capturing Teutonic positions.
 Along the Bessarabian front, in the Dniester region. along the lower Stri- pa and in the Volhynia the Russian attacks have been particularly violent In the region of Olyka, in the zone of the Volhynian fortress triangle, the Russian guns have heavily she1led a front more than fifteen miles long held by the Austrian Archduke Joseph Ferdinand.
 Around Verdun bad weather has set in and as result the infantry of both sides have kept to their trench es and only bombardments have taken place. No changes in position are recorded. Around Vaux and Dam loup, northeast of Verdun, the bonn bardment on both sides has continued with considerable intensity; while

 the Hiah Distinction.

Washington, June 5.-Louis D. Brandeis of Boston this noon took his seat as an associate justice of the su- preme court, the sixty second citizen to rise to that high distinction.

west of the Mouse the smelling has been only intermittent
 On the remainder of the front in France, except around Ypres, the sit Hation is reported quiet. About Ypres, however, the Germans and Canadians are keeping up the violent fighting that has been in progress since last week when the Germans, under ter rife rain of shells, captured Canada an positions, which later were retaken in hand to-hand and bombing en- counters. Returning to the attack of Sunday, the Germans again forced the Canadians to reIinquish the bulk of the re-captured ground, but the Cana lians are disputing strenuously the ef- forts of the Teutons to -oust them from the remainder of the positions.
 Vienna reports that despite the sturdy resistance of the Italians the Austrians have made a further ad- vance into Italy in the Cengio zone near Asiago. The town of Ceisna and 5000 Italian prisoners, cannon and eleven machine guns and 126 bomb throwers were captured by the Aus trians.
 Rome admits the retirement of the Italians in the Cengio zone, but says that in the Dalgone valley, the Laga- rina valley and on the Posnia front Austrian attacks were repulsed.
 Tn southern Albania, in the regiou of Avolna, the Austrians have dispersed with their artillery Italian detach- ments operating in that vicinity.

 vention Held in Chicago.

Chicago, June 5.-History for women was in the making tonight when the Woman's party was launched under the auspices of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage.

RooseveIt's Presence Desired.
PRESIDENT AND CABINET
 DISCUSS NOTE TO cARRANzA
To Make It Clear That American
 Troops Will Not Be Withdrawn.

Washington, June 5.-President Will son and his cabinet are expected to discuss at tomorrow's meeting the re- ply to be sent to General Carranza's note demanding withdrawal of AmeH- can troops from Mexico. While it was stated authoritatively that the reply will make clear the administration s determination not to withdraw the ex- petition until the Carranza troops have shown both the intention and ability to prevent bandit raids, many other questions raised by the note must be considered.
 General Carranza,s demand that the United States declare it's intentions to- ward Mexico fin the interests of all Latin America" has aroused consid- erable discussion in diplomatic circles. Some diplomats do not hesitate to at tribute it to the activity of foreign agents at Mexico City, working to off, set President Wilson's efforts toward a rloser Pan-American relationship. They argue that the fact that Ameri- can marines have been employed re- gently at Nicaragua and the Domini- can Republic and that American troops are now in Mexico may have been used by such agents to discount the presidents declaration for Pan- American amity. Some even assert that a campaign is on foot to pre- vent the United States from obtaining permanently the trade with South and Central America and Mexico formerly held in Europe.

HOUSE MEMBERS PEEvED
 AT SENATE ADJOURNMENT
Insist That a Constitutional Provision
 Has Been Violated.


 Washington, June 5.-Members of the house were much exercised today over what they insisted was a viola tion by the senate of the constitutional provision that neither house shall ad- 5ourn for more than three days at a time without the consent of the other.
 The senate adjourned Saturday un- til noon Thursday, the leaders count ing that a three day recess because of the intervening Sunday. Republican Leader Mann, supported by Represen- tatfve Garrett of Tennessee and other house parliamentarfans, brought the matter formally to the attention of Speaker Clark today and the speaker agreed that very bad precedent had been set.
 Later democratic senators suggested informally that the house dispose of the situation by adopting a resolution consenting to a. four day adjournment It was said tonight this might be done or that if quorum of the senate could be mustered a session of that body would be called for Wednesday.

St. Louis. Mo, June 5.-1. Bruce Kremer. secretary of the democratic national committed, announced this afternoon that business reasons would prevent his being a candidate for re- election. No names have been sug- gested for MT. Kremer's successor.
 Several committeeman have made inquiry as to what part, if any, Will fam J. Bryan will play in the coming convention. It was officially stated that inasmuch as Mfr.
