NEW YORK, June 14.-Charges

 reckless audacity started out to
 buy him for the presidential nomi-

 given out tonight by Nicholas

 was nothing to do to save the Re

 band of men behind him with
 their bank accounts. This meant
 we had to defeat General Wood.
 "The forces defeated in their insol- ent attempt to buy the nomination represent all that is worst in Ameri- can business and American political life. It is really too bad they hit upon General Wood as their choice. They should have found some one to sup port for whom the country has less respect and less regard.
 "Tne chief task of the convention was to prevent the sale of presidential nominations at auction to the highest bidder. Had this not been done, tne party faced not only certain defeat but crushing dishoncr. The 6S New York delegates who voted for me on the first ballot were the chief factor in stopping the Hindenburg drive tc overwhelm the convention by the power of unlimited money and by strong arm methods in preferential primaries"

 General Smiglys retreat before the Russian Bolsheviki in Ukraine has been executed in perfect order, ac- cording to army headquarters here. The advance of the Bolsheviki upon CZernobyk forced the retreat.
 In Polesia the enemy has lost se- verely while trying to break the Pol ish front near Giibow. One thousand Bolsheviki reached the right bank of the Dneiper but were cut off and an initiated. Two hundred were cap tured and many were drowned.
 Polesia is in the territory within the triangle formed by Brest-hitovsk, Mohilva and Keiv. west of the Dnei- per river. Its S7,000 square kilome- ters include the Pripet marshes, through which the Pripet river flows and g large section of forest land.

Since that time the battle has centered or the line from Borisov and the Be resina river, on the north, along the Dneiper and Dniester rivers to Kiev resulting in the capture of Kiev by the Poles early in May.

Thriving Divorce

Whether or not the war settled the
peace of the world, the chronicle OF
daily events shows that 1t unsettled

observes the New York Evening Sun.
The greatest effect, Of course, has
heen felt by those nations closest 10
the conflict and In it the longest, and
of these conditions Americans know
The least. They do know, though.
that all through the warning coun-
tries of Europe the war has left
trail of mingled romance and tragedy.
Something more than 1000 Amer1-
can soldiers married in Europe AMI
brought home their brides-many OF
them with babies in their arms.
Probably greater number return
ed to America without the foreign
women whom they had married or
promised to marry.
Women who married three or four
soldiers each in order to get their
allotment money and gamble a little
on death pension became numerous
even before our men went overseas.
They were by no means as plentltuf
as the men who married to escape
going.
The number of married women who
brayeiy sent their husbands to battle
and then forgot about them is still
being counted in the divorce courts
The number of husbands who forgot
their wives they left behind is limit
ed in disclosure for lack OF witnesses
on this side of the water.
Even with marital infidelity left out
domestic felicity is said to have suf-
fared seriously through the war in
cases Of couples SO separated for a
year or more. In many cases the
wives went to work to earn habits
of independence which are hard 10
renounce Husbands also acquired
habits not well in keeping with ideal
ity in two-room fiat. The war won
more than one victory for "self-de-
termination"
