Russian Advance Threatens to EnvelOp Entire Aus trian Army in Region Af- fected-Flank Turned

London, June s-Information has reached the Russian embassy in Rome that the Austrian front has been com p,etely broken along length of 95 miles to depth of S71s miles, according to a Central News dispatch today from the Italian capital.
 A Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd to- day reports the continuation of the Rus- sian successes in Volhynia and Galicia. The capture of an additional 1s5 officers and 13,714 men is announced.
 The Russian advance, according to these advices, now threatens to envelop the entire Austrian army in the region affected, the Austrans finding themselves attacked from both the east and north
 Austrian Slav regiments are declared to have been seized by panic during the first attacks by the Russians and to have surrendered without any real resistance.
 LINES ARE COMPLETED
 Petrograd. June 9.-CVia London )-Five days of furious offensive by the forces of General Brussiloff has crumpled- their op-. ponents lines from the Kovel-Sarny rail- way line to Bukowina. driving them back an average of 15 miles. m
 In the Lutsk sector the Russians, ape pear to have completely broken through, turning the left flank of the Austrian armies and the right flank of the Ger man forces and capturing Lutsk, tho center of a number of radiating roads and railways. At several points tho at ta ctyi eli bor and Styr rivers and further south they are approaching the Stripa river.
 The victories are attributable largely to the avalanche of gunfire, which swept away dozens of lines of entanglements and opened the way for the troops. who swept through in irresistible numbers. In some places the Russian barrier fire cut off large Austrian units. which sur rendered. This accounts for the large number of prisoners officially reported captured.
 The operation began in the vicinity of Olyka. where skirmishing has been fre- quent lately. Both sides appear to have been feeling for weak spot in their op- ponents' line. The Russian advance from this point which ds 25 miles from Lutsk, was accomplished in two and one-half days. During the long period of inac- tivity the Austrians constructed strong Notifications in this section. The topo- graphy of the country also formed strong natural defenses.
 BRILLIANT ACHIEVEMENT
 Military observers regard the operation as an extraordinarily brilliant achieve ment and emphasize the able leadership of General Brussloff, who conducted the Carpathian campaign and made record for prisoners, guns and munitions cap tured. Lutsk is an important link, strengthening the connection between the southwestern region and the north

Inevitable Development Is
 Stayed Off for Hours by Leaders in Progressive Convention by Hard Fight
REPUBLICANS ARE WATCHED CLOSELY
 FOR UNTOWARD MOVE
Little Routine Business Dur ing Three Sessions of Con- ventiOn-PlatfOrm Tenta- lively Agreed Upon

Auditorium Hall, Chicago, June Q. for President tomorrow by the pro- gressive national convention unless there is some political miracle-an agreement between its conferees and those from the republican convention, or direct, emphatic word from MT. RooseevIt himself that the progressiye nomination would not be accepted.
 For hours today the leaders of the convention staved off nomination that they knew and every delegate in the hall knew was crOwdIng forward with the hours themselves and could no more be stopped than an avalanche if once the convention was assured that the last hope of peace with the republicans was gone and MT. Roose- velt's nomination at the Coliseum could not be accomplished.
 RUNS GAMUT OF EMOTION
 After three sessions that ran through the gamut of emotions from hysteria for MT. Roosevelt to calm, dispassionate discussion of blanks in the platform, the convention adjourned at 9:5S tonight un- til 1O:S0 tomorrow. It was only after re- peated assurance from the leaders that the nomination be postponed, that the delegates swallowed their own convic- tions that the nomination was the real and only business to be considered and consented to quit the hall for the night
 All day the delegates kept on guard while the leaders watched or listened over the telephone. to detect any unexpected move on the part of the republicans As the ballots were taken in the Coliseum they waited and listened and kept their tempers
 They were told they must keep the faith,'' and allow two ballots to be taken by the republicans, according to the agreement between the peace conferees and approved by Colonel Roosevelt him. self. The approval of the colonel was a trump card heId up the sleeves of the leaders. but never played, for when the Coliseum quit for the night the delegates, tired out with iong sitting in the hot, sticky theatre, were willing to wait for a nomination.
 "Twenty-four hours won't make any said Governor Hiram John- son. The crowd agreed and accepted the motion to adjourn.
 LITTLE ROUTINE BUSINESS
 There was little routine business dur ing the day. The platform fas tentatively agreed upon with only few changes A fight to insert a prohibition plank was beaten by a vote of 523 to S2 after the leaders had explained at length that to put it in meant that prohibition and not Americanism would then become the main issue of the coming campaign.
 For the rest the delegates just cheered and listened. Realizing that an out

Unless treaty is made, in other words, the progressives early tomor- row will nominate Colonel Roosevelt, and the republicans, grimly settling to the task, will continue the process of elimination by ballots, which was be- gun this afternoon.
 ARE STANDING PAT The general prediction tonight is that the "standpat" bosses will not surrender. The idea obtains, neverthe- less, that the colonel, even against tie manipulation of the bosses, would still possess an opportunity to win. There is no doubt but that tonight he appears stronger than ever before. He has at his back an entire conven- tion which goes into convulsions at the mere mention of his name. Among the republicans he has small but militant and constantly growing fol- lowing and the backing of boisterous and inflammable galleries, which stand ready at any moment to pre- cipitate a stampede. Twice during the day he scored on his enemies. When put in nomination by Senator Fall a demonstration of 43 minutes was the immediate result. And, at the begin ming of the second ballot Governor Brum- baugh of Pennsylvania, retiring from the field. threw all his strength to Roosevelt. 1 So strong. in other words. does the colo mel appear. that the prediction is unani- mously expressed that he will walk away with the honors unless the Hughes vote continues on each succeeding ballot tc grow. HUGHES FLICKERED ONCE Just once did the Hughes strength flicker. After the second ballot, Sen ator Penrose suggested adjournment. Oregon and Vermont instructed for the justice. protested On the roll call Pen rose won overwhelmingly. That result was construed by Rooseyeltians as an emphatic defeat for Hughes and victory of corresponding proportions for their chieftain.
 Nevertheless the old Guard,'' to all appearances. sits steadily in the boat and offers the gratuitous prediction that Hughes will be nominated before tomor- row night.
 The convention of the progressives was featured by countless demonstrations in

| threaten to sweep the republican conven. tion today, has been ordered. With more than a majority of the delegates still pledged to their colors, steps were taken at midnight to guard against assertions. Optimistic statements were circulated based on the ability of the combinatio of favorite sons to adjourn yesterdays session before proceeding with third bal lot which. if taken. almost certainly would have made Justice Hughes the nominee.
 The plans of the combination were regarded with the utmost secrecy but it was necessary for the leaders to take so many persons into their con fidence that it became known that the allies looked to Sagamore Hill for the reinforcement needed to make victory theirs. A word from Colonel Roosevelt, they all seemed to think, would end the chance of nomination of Hughes and his approval of an ally would give that candidate strength to go be- fore the convention today with at least show to get the nomination
 The leaders in the combination were managers in the candidates of Fair banks, Weeks and Burton, but it was hoped to enlist all of the other allied candidacies--S Sherman, Root, Cummins, Knox and those with scattered fol- lowing. The advocates of. the nomina tion of Fairbanks were the most in sistent because he was the only one of the allies who made a gain on the second ballot All of them agreed, however. that if Colonel Roosevelt should make a selection of some other of the candidates they would abide by his decision and do their utmost to nominate that man.
 ROOT PROMINENT FIGURE
 Former Senator Root figured promi : nently in the plans of the combination as many of the political leaders op- pose dto the nomination of Hughes ar gued that they must consider the sup posed ambition of Colonel Roose- welt to get the republican nomi- nation in 1920 if it is denied in 1916. On account of Mir. Roots advanced age # was said that Colonel Roose. yelt might favor him over others.
 The former senator from New York is popular with most of the promi nent republican leaders. If it were be licved that he could be elected, it lis known he would be favorocd by many lContinuedl on Page Five)

Carranza troops, there appears to be areas where the de facto governments hold over the people is not strong. Some reports said the demonstrations were in part melted by agtators pretending to be Carranza adherents
 mass meeting was held at Saltil.o last night at which many speeches re- senting the presence of American troops in Mexico were made. The only violence against American property reported was at Chihuahua City and Monterey, where there are no consular agents.
 Statements from Americans reaching the border and also from consular agents in Mexico have indicated that while Gen eral Carranza's forces were trying to overawe the demonstrators. the control was not to be depended on entirely in some districts. The agitators, some of-. ficiais fear, may arouse public opinion to a point where an attempt to expel General Pershing's men by force may bS undertaken. There is nothing to <indi~
