WASHINGTON, July 17. Discussion
of the naval building programme in
the Senate today brought out indica
tions that the committee recommenda
tion for construction of 16 capital war
shirs within three years, eight of
them in 1917, probably would be ap
proved without material amendment.
Adminlstraticn leaders hoped tonight
to pass the bill before adjournment
tomorrow.
Such opposition as developed today
came frcm both sides of the Chamber.
Senators Thomas and Vardaman, Dem
ocrats, and Senators Work and .Norris,
Republicans, leading the attack on the
building programme. Both Democratio
and Republican leaders defended it,
however, and an amendment by Senator
Norris to delay construction of any ot
the 16 capital ships until after the
close of the European war and after
failure of efforts to create an inter
national peace tribunal was tabled, 45
to 11.
Norrl. Explains Opposition.
In support of his amendment. Senator
Norris declared the bill provided for
expenditure of more money for naval
construction in time of peace than was
ever spent by any nation in the world,
despite the fact that "it is probable
that before this European war is over,
the United States, without the con
struction of a single ship, will have
the greatest Navy in the world."
Senator Vardaman declared Congress
was yielding to hysteria, and cautioned
against expenditures of such vast sums
for armament until the -country's cool,
normal judgment could be consulted.
Senator Thomas opposed the construc
tion of so many ships and urged that
submarines and aircraft would be suf
ficient protection for a nation which
does not contemplate offensive war
fare. Senator Works predicted that
passage of the naval bill would mark
a change in military policy that would
tverturn the peaceful spirit of America.
Borah frgea Preimratlon. .
Senators Lewis, Democrat, and Borah,
Week and Keuyon, Republicans, spoke
in favor of the measure. Senator
Borah urged that if the United States
was to enjoy the blessinigs of peace it
must convince the world it is prepared
for war.
"Let us serve notice on the nations
of the world." said the Idaho Senator,
"that, while we love peace, our friend
ship cannot be purchased at the price
of American citizenship."
Declaring that the-United States has
not a friend among the nations. Sena
tor Lewis pleaded that the frank truth
he told to the peqple about foreign
relations, so they would demand an ad
equate Navy. He pointed to Japan's
entrance into the present war for the
purpose of ousting Germany from the
Far East, and Inquired if anyone be
lieved that "she would not enforce
against America what she enforced
against Germany, and would call upon
her present allies to help her in a war
against the United States.
"America today has not one friend
among all the nations of the world,"
said Senator Lewis. "We have offended
all from their point of view. We have
("erved all from our point of view. Let
us go to the people of our country
with our reasons for this extraordi
nary preparedness. Tell them we move
forward because we must in order to
live."
VJILSDN POSTPONES DATE
NOTIFICATION TO WAIT ON AD.
JOl'BSMEXT OF CONGRESS.
Suggestion Made, However, That Ses
sion May Last so Long as to
Make Change Advisable Later.
WASHINGTON, July 17. President
Wilson decided late today to change
the tentative plans for holding the
notification ceremonies August 5 be
cause he desired to postpone them un
til after the adjournment of Congress.
The decision was announced by
Vance McCorniick, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. After
a conference with the President he is
sued a statement saying:
"I found the President embarrassed
by the thought he ought iot to turn
to politics until the business of this
Congressional session was over. Of
course, it is possible that the session
may last so long as to make It imprac
ticable to wait until its close for the
notification, particularly as the Presi
dent feels it to be of the utmost Impor
tance that the child labor bill and the
workman's compensation law be passed
at this session."
Switchman Is Injured.
George Gamble, a railroad brakeman,
was struck by a car and injured in
ternally yesterday while operating a
switch at Hamilton Creek, Wash. He
was brought to Portland last night and
taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital.

Tactical Success Won.

General Carson and General R. E. W. Turner, V. C.
Picardy front is accepted as almost
certain Indication that the Germans
will launch a heavy counter attack. It
is also considered a good index of the
Teuton strength opposite the British
lines.
General Haig evidently is adhering
closely to .his schedule. He is un
moved by striking gains, but is push
ing steadily forward. The general
opinion here Is that a great amount of
artillery preparation remains still to
be done. Meanwhile the Russians, tim
ing blows carefully, are forcing the
Germans back steadily. Withdrawal of
Von Ulnsingen's troops southwest of
Lutsk shows that the Csar"s forces
have lost none of their fire and that
the threat to the enemy on twefronts
is still growing.
Both in Russia and In France the
allied armies have broken through
many lines of defenses and are press
ing into comparatively open country.
With no decrease In the pressure on
the Kaiser's lines, the battles become
more critical hourly.
The Russians have won another
great success in Volhynia. The sledge
hammer blows of General Brussiloffs
forces southwest of Lutsk have swept
the Austro-German armies behind the
Lipa River. "Under the protection of
a German counter-attack." fcays to
night's Austrian official statement,
"The Teutonic troops south of Lutsk
were withdrawn behind the lower
Lipa. unmolested by the enemy." At
the same time General Kuropatkin, the
Russian commander in the north,
launched a violent offensive against
Von Hindenburg's line on the Dvina
River and the Czar'e forces in Volhynia
bagged an additional 13,000 prisoners
in one short day of fighting.
The latest great Russian advance was
won through intense artillery prepara
tion, followed by quick, -powerful
thrusts at points previously tested and
found to be ineuf flciently strong to
withstand any great pressure. Ham
mering relentlessly at General von Lin
singen's positions southeast of Sviniu
chy and near ' Pustomyty and Szklin,
the Russians finally pierced the Teu
tons along a mile front at the latter
point and penetrated several miles into
the territory so obstinately held by the
enemy for weeks.
The Russians achieved the same re
sults by the same methods when they
threw the German forces back from
the Styr to Stokhod. There the enor
mous forces brought up by the Teu
tons have temporarily cheeked the Rus
sian advance toward Kovel. But while
the entire attention of the Austrians
and Germans was being centered on the
Stokhod line, the Russians were mak
ing their usual complete preparations
for the drive south of Lutsk, which
today achieved its primary object. Then
they struck quickly.
For the first time since the Germans
halted their progress on the Stokhod
they took the cudgels and wielded
them with rapidity and strength that
swept the enemy off his feet and sent
him flying to cover.
Military critics here are agreed that
the Russians have won a great tactical
success. The retirement of the Teu
tons to the Lipa and beyond greatly
increases the double menace to which
Kovel and Lemberg are exposed. Strik
ing south across the Galician border,
only & few miles away, the Russians
would press the Teutons back Aver the
Bug River, and from that line threat
en Lemberg as it has not been threat
ened before in the present drive. Hit
ting north and northwest from their
newly won positions, they would 1m
peril the German lines along the Stok
hod to a flank attack, which would
probably result In the retirement of
the Teutons to the Vladimir-Volynski-Kovel
line. Their present lines on the
north bank of the Lipa constitute the
gravest menace to ithosa two lmpor
tant places.
CAPTCRF.D DOCUMENTS SHOWN
British Deduce That German Cinal-
ties Aro Excedelngly Heavy.
LON'DOK, July 17. Today brought
news of fresh gains by the allies on
both the eastern and western fronts.
The dispatch of Genera Sir; Pougia
Halg today shows that the steady pres
sure of the British arms is forcing an
ever-deepening salient into the German
lines, and the commander-in-chief for
the first time produces evidence in the
shape of documents captured from the
Germans giving testimony as to the
high price the Germans are paying in
casualties. The report says:
"The following captured documents
are of interest as showing the heavy
casualties which the enemy has suf
fered in recent fighting:
"From a company of the 16th Ba
varian Infantry regiment to the Third
Battalion. 16th Bavarian Infantry: 'Se
vere enemy artillery fire of all cali
bers up to 28 centimeters on company
sector. Company strength one officer.
12 men. Beg urgently speedy relief
for company. What remains of com
pany so exhausted that in case of at
tack by the enemy the few totally ex
hausted men cannot fight on.' "
'From another company of the same
regiment to Third Battalion. 16th Ba
varian Infantry regiment:
"Heavy and Intense enemy fire on
company sector. Completely lost Its
fighting value. Men left so exhausted
they can no longer be employed in
fighting if heavy artillery fire con
tinues. Company will soon be exter
minated. Relief for company urgently
requested." ,
'From the Second Battalion to the
Third Battalion. Sixteenth Bavarian In
fantry Regiment: 'Battalion has lust
received orders from Lieutenant-Colonel
Kumme that it Is placed under orders
of the Third Battalion. Sixteenth Ba
varian Regiment, as a section of the
reserves. Battalion consists at present
time of three officers, two non-commissioned

ers' Educational and Co-operative
Union, the Farmers' National Congress
and the National Council of Farmers'
Co-operative Associations. The Presi
dent delivered a brief address.
"I cannot go through the simple cer
emony of signing this bill without ex
pressing the feeling that I have in
signing it," he said. "It is a feeling not
only of profound satisfaction, but of
real gratitude mat we have completed
this piece of legislation, which I hope
ill be immensely beneficial to the
farmers of the country.
The farmers, it seems to me. have
occupied hitherto a singular position ot
disadvantage. They have not had the
same freedom to get credit on their
real estate that others have had who
were in manufacturing and commercial
enterprises, and while they have sus
tained our life, they did not in the
same degree with some others share In
the benefits of that life.
"Therefore, this bill, along with the
very liberal provisions of the Federal
reserve act, puts them upon an equality
with all others who have genuine as
sets and makes the great credit of the
country available to them.
"I look forward to the benefits of
this bill, not with extravagant expec
tations, but with confident expectations
that it will be of very wide-reaching
benefit, and, incidentally, it will be of
advantage to the inveating community,
for I can Imagine no more satisfactory
and solid investment than this system
will afford those who have money to
use."
The bill creates a system of land

are understood to be Herbert Quick.

HILLSBORO, Or.. July 17. (Special.)
Bennett Thompson was' formally
charged with the murder of Mrs. Helen
Jennings and Fred Rlstman in two In
dictments returned by the grand Jury
today. That referring to the Jennlnss
murder charges malicious striking and
beating with an Iron maul, while the
Ristman indictment gives the cause of
death as beating on the head with
some instrument to the jury unknown.
Thompson waa Immediately brought
into court and arraigned. On his state
ment that he had couni tha t
pleading to the indictments was set
for :30 Wednesday morning. Durinsr
the reading Thompson gave no evi
dence of nervousness.
The trial will probably be set when,
the plea is made Wednesday, and i4
-expected to be at an early date.
Mrs. Helen Jennings was slain whili
In bed In 'her home near Tigardville
on the night of May 15 last. Ristman
was slain the same night, either prior
or after Mrs. Jennings, the apparent
motive for his murder being to conceal
the other crime. It is the theory of
the prosecution that a man . who en
gaged Rlstman in Portland to take
him in an automobile to Mra Jenninga'
place committed both murders, and
that that man is Bennett Thompson,
against whom the evidence, however,
is wholly circumstantial.
