London, June 29.-Gains Of addi-
tionaI ground by the Italians from the
Germans northeast of Verdun and by
the Germans from the Russians In
Volhynia, are chronicled in the latest
official communications issued by the
Italian, French and Austrian war Of
fees. In addition, it is stated that the
Austrians are still holding back the
wing of the Russian army, which is
endeavoring TO drive past Kuty, Buko-
wilma, with Kolomea as its objective.
In the Trentino region, Italians con-
tinue to force back the Austrians along
almost the entire 'front.', having made
progress at various points in the re-
gion between the Adige and Brenta
river in the Lagarina and Arsa valleys.
and along the upper But river. North
east of Verdun the French have re-
captured more ground from the Ger
mans north of Hill 81 and around
the Thiaumont wood, northwest Of
Verdun.
The Germans carried out a heavy
bombardment against the Avocourt
and Chattancourt sectors but were
prevented from launching an infantry
attack from the east of Hill 3O4 by
the effectiveness of the French artil-
lery fire. In Champagne, the Germans
occupied French positions near Ia
hure but later were driven out
On the British front the expected
big offensive by King Georges men
apparently has not yet begun, but
they are carrying out at various
points successful raids on German po-
sitions and bombarding heavily from
the region of La Basse canal to the
south of the Somme. In the latter re-
gion small British attacks were put
down by the Germans, according to
Berlin
Continuing their counter offensive
against the Russians in Volhynia, the
Germans have captured the village Of
Linewka, to the west of Sokul, and
also have taken by storm positions to
the south of the village. Vienna re-
ports that further Russian attacks
near Kuty in BukOwina have been re-
pulsed by the Austrian forces.

CHICAGO, June 2.-The out
standing developments Of the day in
the ranks of the republican leaders
was a sharp denial from the man
ayers of the presidential boom Of
Charles w. Fairbanks Of Indiana,
that he would agree to run for vice
president on a ticket headed by Col.
Roosevelt. At the same time the
managers for former Sen. Burton
denied that he would throw his
strength to Roosevelt if convinced
that ne could not win, in return for
a cabinet position.
For the first time the plan Of cam
paign of the Roosevelt forces was in
the open. 1t comprised an elabO-
rate plan of trading and compro-
mise that was certain TO force con-
s;deration. The suggestion came di-
rectly from men close to the pro-
eressive camp that if the republic
cans would accept the colonel as
their presidential candidate he
would agree 10 the nomination Of
Charles W. Fairbanks as his running
lldLt anu NOAlQ AdhE care VI [llnu
Root and Theodore Burton in his
cabinet.
The Fairbanks and Burton people
sharply rejected the suggestion.
Managers for Mr.. Fairbanks, after
talking with Indianapolis over the
telephone, declared with a display
Of heat that under no circumstances
would they agree 10 any such ar
rangement
Mr.. Fairbanks is a candidate for
pr sident and for no other office,
declared the authorized denial. He
already has been vice president and
there would be no additional honor
in holding the Office once more.
THE name Of Mr.. Fairbanks will
be presented TO this convention for
the nomination Of president and il
will be kept in the race until a
choice is made, and the managers Of
Mr.. Fairbanks feel confident that he
will be the nominee"

CHICAGO, June 1.-The real ef-
fort to curb the constantly growing
Hughes strength began today. Man
ayers Of the campaigns of 'favorite
sons" conferred in an effort TO
count noses and decide whether
they would be able TO head off the
nomination of the justice without at
the same time encountering a RoOse-
Welt movement that might get be-
yond control.
Upon these conferences depends
the entire program of the so-called
"Old Guard" They recognize that
the situation is very delicate. If
Hughes is eliminated most of his
strength will GO into the Roosevelt
camp. And this is the one thing
that the majority Of the old time
leaders, including the men who four
years ago made the nomination of
Taft possible, fear most
Meanwhile the Roosevelt men
we're getting ready TO do business
with the members of the republican
national committee. Their efforts
for the present are confined to the
work being done by George w. Per-
kins and John w McGrath, secre-
tary TO Col. Roosevelt. They have
conferred with a number of the re-
publican leaders and have made it
plain that they will not accept
Hughes. He is the most obnoxious
of the candidates so far mentioned,
they say, and they very frankly
claim that if it seems certain that
he is 10 be the nominee they may
rot be able 10 control their forces.
In the event that the Hughes
strength crystallizes by the early part
Of next week. they say, there is a
strong possibility that the ultra
radical element IN attendance on the
progressive convention which will
meet in the Auditorium theater. will
take the bit in its teeth and go ahead
and nominate the colonel without
waiting for the republicans TO show
their hands.
