Artillery and Infantry
RUSSIAN ASSAULTS FAIL
italians Check, Further Progress by
Austrians in Region of
Arsiero.

London, June 4.-The region of Vaux
and Damloup, northeast of Verdun,
has been the scene Of further futile
attempts of the Germans to pierce the
French line. All the attacks were set
at naught by the French fire, except
night attack between Damloup and
Fort VauX where the Germans OBJ
tanned foothoId in French trenches.
From these, however, they were imme-
diately driven out by counter attack.
The Canadian troops and the Ger
mans have been battling fiercely on
the Ypres salient. The German guns
opened up several days ago, deluging
the Canadian positions and the sur
rounding territory with shells. Then
the German infantry advanced along
an extended front of almost two miles,
capturing trenches. In series Of
counter attacks, in which bomb and
bayonet played an important part, the
Canadians regained most of the lost
ground and have reorganized their po-
sitions.
On the Russian front violent artil.
lery duels are going on in the Bessa-
rabian and Volhynian sections. Sew
eral Russian infantry attacks against
the Austrians were repulsed.
The Italians in the region of Arsiero
are holding the Austrians from further
advances in the desperate struggle
that is going on in this region. The
Austrians, with large effectiyes, at
tempted to break through the Italian
line in the direction of Onaro, but
were driven back. The lombard
ments are still heavy on the other sec
tions of the Austro.ltalian front.
According to unofficial advices from
Saloniki, General Sarrail, the French
commander, has declared martial law
in the entire zone occupied by the
entente allies, and the allied troops
have taken over the telegraph offices,
the port and customs houses at
Saloniki.

MOOSE SAY HUGHES MUST TALK
Must Tell ProeressVes Where He
Stands Before Receiving Their
Support.

Chicago, June 4.-For some un.
known reason. for which no eXplana-
tion is offered, there is a growing con
yiction tonight among both Republic
can and Progressive leaders assembled
here for the national conventions, that
Colonel Roosevelt will not be nominal
ed by the older party. Among those
who hold to this view are many mum
bered among the coloners closest
friends who none the less are not civ.
ing up the fight.
The leaders who take this view OF
the situation seem to think that JUS
tice Hughes is the man who could
bring the Republican and Progressive
parties together and present solid
front to the Democratic opposition
even though they are not convinced
that the justice can win the nomina-
tion.
The situation which this condition
presents is Unprecedented. None of
lAt ltdutl5 VII NAlt SlOullG pa plN9o "
have any idea of what will happen.
1t is notable that all the speculation
so far has been principally among
the leaders, probably less than fifty
of them, and that the delegates have
had very little part in it. Little more
than half Of the delegates to the Re
publican convention reached Chicago
tonight Those who are here are un-
certain of the attitude of other men
from their states.
1t seemed certain that Colonel
Roosevelt could have the Progressive
nomination at once If he would say
the word and still leave the way open
to withdraw his candidacy If the Re-
publican convention nominated a man
whom he was willing to support.
One faction among the Progressiyes
favors nominating Colonel Roosevelt
on the first day of the convention and
then await the action of the Republi.
cans. Another faction would prefer
to make no nomination until after it
was known what the Republicans pur-
posed to do.
On every hand tonight there is
speculation as to what the old guard
will do II It succeeds in defeating
Colonel Roosevelt for the nomination; !;
whether they will 90 the whole dis.
tance and nominate a man of their
number such as Root Fairbanks,
Weeks or Burton: or whether they
will attempt to conciliate the Progress
sives by choosing a man whom the
latter might support. The name OF
Justice Hughes is the only one that
has been brought forward so far as
having such possibilities.
Among the rank and file of the Re
publicans there are indications of a
genuine effort to draw the Progress
sives back into the old party. One
of these evidences is the lack of harsh
| criticism and bellicose demonstrations
which characterized the convention
period Of 1912. Apparently all fac.
tions learned a lesson from the dis
| astrous consequences following the
split four years ago and as result
nothing is heard in the nature oil
| bragadocio or defiance. The support
ers OF candidates familiarly called
| favorite sons, are firm in their argu
| ments, but are inclined to a far great
or jogree than ordinarily to extol their
candidates without detracting from
| others.
