OLIVE BRANCH
Preferred by Progressiyes is
Likely tosBe Accepted by
the Republicans.

There IS every evidence that Re-
publicans and Progressives will unite
on national ticket when the two
parties meet in Chicago the week Of
June Z, in national convention, and
such will mean President Wilson's
defeat. In this connection, 1t is in
teresting to note the following in
quiry of Virgil L. Highland, Repub-
lican national committeeman for
West Virginia, by the Chicago Her
aid:
"In view of the tentative olive
branch proffered by the National Pro-
gresslves in Chicago, are you in favor
of meeting them half way. Please
wire at our expense"
Mr.. Highland replied as follows:
Answering you inquiry regarding
my attitude toward the tentative
olive branch preferred by the national
Progressives in Chicago, am hearth
ly in favor of and will support any
measure that will bring unison be-
tween the Republicans and Progress
sives SO long as such measures are not
revolutionary to Republican princl-
pies"

Russian Offensive in Galicia is
Probably Not Suspended
as Reported.
SECOND OBJECT ATTAINED.
Entente Military Experts Are
Trying to Reason Out
Some SuppoSiti0ns.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-IThe news from
tho eastern front Of the capture Of
Sudagrrn is regarded In military cir
clcs as probably true, although official
announcement on the subject has not
been received. The town. which Hes
few miles northeast OF Cxernowitz
and is a convcrglng point for fve good
roads. IN Of considerable strategic I'M
portance and previous attempts 10
capture II have been stoutly resisted.
Experts say Sa1agura is really oil
more importance than Csernowitz. on
account of Its stronger natural posi-
tons and facilities for communication
purposes.
The report from Petrograd that the
offensive in Gallcia and Bessarabla had
been suspended for the present Is re-
garded as at least premature. The
russian offensive could not, II Is be-
lleved. be suspended suddenly as u
was undertaken after careful prep
aration and launched with unexpected
strength. The object OF that offensive
is said to be threefold; 10 demonstrate
to the Rounlanians that the Russiail
forces arc able 10 assume the Offensive
when they choose; secondly to divert
Austro- German forces from the Ball
kan and western fronts and finally to
improve the general strategic position
OF their own left flank.
While the full effect Of this Russian
offensive cannot yet BIO determined,
Entente military experts affirm that
the second object was attained, that
the situation In the Balkans was re-
lieved, and thnt the operations under
taken by the Germans against the
French In Champagne was robbed OF
Its force.
The fact that the French flag is
now waving over the palace on tho

we arrived at the scene of the massa-
ere Carranza guard remained at
Santa Yasabel, where we found a
number of the bandits encamped.
We returned to the troop train to get
a machine gun and then proceeded to
the place where the bodies were
