 Although the convention just clos ed was featured by the centralization of the Roosevelt boom, it promises to become history for additional reasons. It marked the first appearance of the recently enfranchised women in a big convention on political equality with the men
 The part played by the women was not insignificant Fully one-fifth of the 1,O34 delegates were new voters, and a woman Miss Mary Garrett Hay, of New York, was made chair man of the most important committee, the resolutions committee which drafted the platform which was unanimously adopted.
 The platform adopted among oth- CT things, declared for a vigorous Twin the war" policy, commended the administration of Governor Whit man and "emphatically'' urged the New York senators to vote for the federal suffrage amendment. It did not contain a mention of prohibition Or the eliminating of the direct prim- aries, and the expected fight over their failure to appear did not develop.

NEWS. DIRECT FROM THE
 AMERICAN BATTLE FRONT.
Allies Advanced About a Mile and a
 Quarter Yesterday Afternoon.

With the American Army Between the Aisne and the Marne July 19-(By The Associated Press ).-The Franco American troops made an advance late this afternoon on the Soissons- Chateau u Thierry front, averaging about two kilometers (abouta mile and a quar- ter). Vicious German machine gun fire southwest of Soissons hampered the advance for only short period
 In the same section the Germans at tempted to use tanks against the Americans, but a hot fire soon com pelled the tanks to retreat.
 The advance began with a barrage opening at 5.3O o'clock. Tanks were seth in by the allies to assist the in fantry and machine gunners, and the Germans endeaVored to stem the tide with heavy shellfire. The advance was one of the best organized the al lies ever attempted, the system work ing wonderfully well from one end of the line to the other. The machine gun defense of the Germans was feeble and was quickly silenced, the Germans falling back upon their rear defenses.
 Southwest of Soissons the Germans repeatedly attempted to reach the allies big guns. The German firing continued until long after dark, but the French and American guns re- sponded in kind, and gave full pro- lection to the allied forces as they advanced along the line. Several towns were captured
 Heavy endorsements were rushed up from the north by the German command in a desperate effort to head off the hard fighting allies, whose rapid advance would. if continued. sever the German lines of communications There still are strong German forces south of the Marne

 No Excitement.
 According to the survivors there was no excitement after the explo- sion. The men were piped to their battle stations and by their coolness and courage maintained the traditions of the navy. All were provided with life belts and the ships boat7 were launched without mishap. Many of the men leaped into the water when the decks were almost awash and were picked up by the life boats or by rescue ships. Several vessels sum- moned to the rescue by wireless calls for help soon arrived and gave aid in the work of rescue. Several of the | boats put ashore at Fire Island.
