Petrograd, June 6.-The great Russian
offensive continues to develop sue

modest statement.
Last night the number Of Austrian
prisoners on the Galician front was given
at 1900 and "a number of guns" To-
nights official gives the prisoners as $50
officers and more than 5000 men, and
the number of cannon taken, twenty
seven guns and more than fifty machine
guns"
This Russian advance is another Of the
Russian surprises of the war. Notwith-
standing the tremendous number Of the
men and the extent Of the Iine-275 miles
firm the Pripet to the ROumanian from
tier, the offensive has taken the public
completely by surprise.
The element of secrecy has contributed
materially to the success with which the
operations were begun. At the same time,
the Austrians seem to have got wind of
the final preparations for the Russian
move and the multiplying attacks Of the
Germans on the Dvina are interpreted
as attempts to create a diversion in the
interest OF the Austrians
1t Is stated that the Austrians have on
this front about forty Infantry and ten
to fifteen cavalry divisions. That is more
than half their total army. They have
the support Of couple Of divisions of
Germans. The entire force to meet the
Russian attack will not exceed 5000
men
According to reports, the AustrIans
have erected a series of formidable
barriers behind one another, each
faced by plantations Of wire. They
have also supplemented the railway
system by lines parallel to their de-
fenses.
Time will be required TO hew a path
through these obstacles
Quiet in yerdun Region.
Paris, June 6.-The day passed with
no infantry action on either side of
the Meuse in the Verdun region. Last
night the Germans repeated their at
tacks on the Vaux-Damloup front, de-
livering two assaults, both OF which
were repuIsed.
According to unofficial reports from
the front. the German attacks of yes-
terday lacked the intensity of recent
assaults, and French critics express
the opinion that the Germans. as a
result Of their heavy losses, are pro-
ceeding more cautiously in their ef-
forts against Fort Vaux. while reor-
ganizing the forces involved.
The French war office announces to-
night that Chief of Battalion Raynal.

the number he will require before he can

The Hughes candidacy has now two
hurdles to take before it can succeed.
First. Seventy-five Republican dele
gates must be convinced either that the
plain determination of the Progressives
TO nominate Roosevelt is a bluff. or that
Roosevelt's nominat tion will make no diff

Second. seventy-fve delegates must
stand firm against the earnest persua-

another candidate, proba bly, Warren G.

Chicago. June 6-It may have been the
cold, wet day. 1t might have been
the polite but discouraging attitude Of
the Republican old guard leaders. What
ever it was. it had the effect OF chilling
and dampening the hopes of the Pro-
gressive chieftains that Col. Theodore
Roosevelt would be the nominee Of the
Republican convention
The Progressive situation as II stands
tonight on the eve of the opening Of
the two conventions. may be thus des-
cribed:
Conferences between the leaders OF both
parties have convinced the Progressives
that the Republicans who shape the
party's affairs will not accept Col. Roose-
Welt
They have been informed that the Re-
publicans consider it out of the question
that they should go outside of their
party to choose a leader
1t remains for Roosevelt to say whether
he will accept Justice Hughes on the
platform which the Republicans have
as thoroughly Progressive.
The Progressive leaders are now wait
Ing for Col. Roosevelt to make his de-
cision.

Word has been passed out to the Pro-
gressive delegates that Col Roosevelt
does not want them to nominate him at
once. The Progressive leaders are busy
urging the delegates to refrain from TAX
ing any action along this line until they
know what the Republicans are going
to do
Apprehension exists on the part OF the
progressive leaders that their convention
may get away from them and proceed
at once to nominate Col. Roosevelt with
notice to the Republicans that they car
take him or leave him.
To guard against such a possibility the
Progressive leaders may send an urgent

 Where we were hurt was in the instances wherein We had been de pendent upon European sources of supply for certain materials, be- cause the industries producing those materials had not been es- tablished in thIS country. The only reason why they had not been established was because protection had been denied the pioneers in those industries; U ey were unable to meet the competition of Euro- peans and thus never developed their industries Is protected in-
