WASHINGTON. June l2.-It is an
even chance that Petersburg will re-
gain the cantonmcnt which was
awarded that city on last Friday and
suddenly taken from it Yesterday
AS a result of conferences between
lnsprctor-Gencral Darlington, in charge
OF camp sites. and large delegation
of Petersburg professional and bus
iness men to-day. the War Departments
objections to the Cockade City were
largely overcome. Only one argument
against Petersburg now stands, and
that one is that the Du pont powder
interests have raised objections to the
location OF the camp near their big
powder plant at Hopewell. TO ascer-
tain If the Du Points are not willing
to withdraw their protest. the Peters
burg delegates left this afternoon for
Wilmington. Del. where they will hold
conference with the Du Pont officials
DELEGATION HEADED

The Petersburg delegates were hea aded
by former Governor Mann Richard H.
Mann. William Il. McIl,waine. j. j. Far

department by Senator Swanson In
-
Garlincton il was learned why the War
Department suddenly revoked it's order
the explanation being that the On
Points protested against the cantonmcnt
being placed near its IIopewell plant
II also hcCamc known that Virginia
is practically certain of one OF the
cantonmcnts. If Petersburg is finally
disqualified. il is understood that the
War department will look for another
site. Senators Martin and Swanson
and several members of the Virginia
delegation in the House having knovl-
edge of this attitude OF the War De-
plrtmcnt have taken up the fight to
regain the "antonment for the Cock
ade city. Senator Martin was also at
the War Department in behalf of that
city.

III PoNT PROTEST.
ONLY OBSTACLE LEFT
In the conference with Inspector Cen
crai darlington the objections to the
labor conditions and the TRANSFORMATION
facilities were practically ironcd out
leaving the bu rnnt protest the only
obstacle in the way OF relocating tn,
cantonmcnt at Petersburg. Members
OF the delegation declare that the War

pans for Petersburg that il can hardly
retracc it's steps without causing II loss

BELIEVE COPPER
 SURPLUS |S IN ALLIES HANDS
Especial to The Republican,

NEW YORK, July 1.-The appaI ent lack of interest on the part of Washing ton with regard to the copper miners strikes, is being interpreted in the mar ket as verifying the reports which have been persistent during the last seV- eral months that enormous surplus stocks of the metal were being accumu- lated in Europe.
 The bearing of copper shares and the metal has been based upon this theory, it's opponents pointing to the fact that all of this year the exports to Europe have been more than double those of months of last year, that around 130.- O0O,00O pounds the month have been shipped, this including copper in brass, as compared with around 60,000,000 pounds the month last year. Argu- ment that this metal is being taken up by the far greater employment of ar tiliery by the belligerents does not stand analysis, because it Is known that the munitions uses in the operations Of the year were made up from copper and brass shipped prior to the doubling of shipments this year, 191l copper, in deed, is only now going into munitions manufacture and will not reach the front for use for some time to come.
 In consequence, there must be an enormous surplus tonnage of copper stored in Europe, providing against both losses of shipments at sea and Curtailment of prouuctlOn by troubleS in the copper districts.

RUSSIANS STILL
 BREAK THROUGH
 THE GERMAN LINES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire,

Soldiers of revolutionary Russia maintained their attempts to break through the German lines in eastern Galicia. Checked by the results of the fighting during the first three days of July, they continue their efforts. especially in the region of Brazezany, and are throwing fresh forces against the Teuton positions.
 During Sunday and Monday. the first two days of the new drive, the Russians captured 300 officers and 1S,- 900 men and one Tuesday and Wednes- day probably added several thousand more to the total Twenty mine guns and thirty three machine guns were taken from the Austro- Germans.
 Violent artillery duels have been in progress on the Koniuchy- -Selochoff sector, on the Stokhod. in Volhynia, and at Brody, on the Galician- -Volhyn- ian border.
 In Champagne, on the western front, the German crown prince has made another desperate and fruitless effort to break the French lines northwest of Rheims. Attacking in force along an eleven mile front, the Germans made a specially strong effort around Cerny and Allies and against the Cali fornie plateau. The French repulsed all attacks with losses.
 After checking the Germans. the French took the initiative in small operation east of Cerny and captured strong salient. German attacks or | the left bank of the Mouse were re- pulsed.
 Raids and partial engagements have occupied the German and British fur ther north. Several Austrian attacks on the Carso, south of Goriza were l checked by the Italians, Rome re- ports.
 German airplanes have raided the English coast this time attacking liar. wich. British airmen pursued the raiders and two enemy machines were brought down ablaze and a third was damaged. Eleven persons were killed and 56 injured by bombs dropped by the raiders.
 Allied efforts to check the submarine war were successful last week as the weekly statement of British losses shows a decrease of eight in the num- Der of merchant ships sunk. Twent, shlps, fifteen over 1900 tons and five less than 1900 tons, were lost, in con- parlson with 2S in Both categories the previous week and 32 in each of the two weeks preceding.

he would agree that if he could not hring out the guards, he would return with the provisions.
 Superior Judge Walter Shute drove the truck loaded with the provisions across the picket line with Governor Campbell seated beside him. Follow ing this truck was another upon which was seated Major Charles M. Bendell This truck did not get across the line The miners surrounded it and when cots and bedding were discovered. they pushed it back to the street block and ordered the driver to return to the city.
 After a half hours conference with mine officials, Governor Campbell suc- ceeded in getting permission to bring the armed guards from the mine back to the city. They were loaded on the provision truck which was driven through the pickets. The men. who had been cautioned against violence by Secretary Smith and other leaders, cheered Governor Campbell. When a short distance from the pick ct line, the truck broke down and the guards were forced to walk the rest of their way. They were surrounded by

 For time it appeared as if there might be serious trouble. but the inter vention of several leaders and plea by Governor Campbell to the men, after i he had persuaded the guards to dis perse quieted the situation. An order of the superior court was required to obtain bayonets for the guns which the Home Guards. as mem hers of rifle clubs. carried. The bay onets were on hand here for govern ment service and were taken by the court because of the emergency. i Major Bendell was sent here as the United States army representative in view of the probability of the necessity of call by Governor Campbell for federal aid.
