LONDON, July 21. The text of to
day's official statement by the
War Office is:
'"Che battle continues without inter
mission between the Leipsic redoubt on
the west and -Delville wood on the
east. North of the Bazentin-Longueval
line the British advance has been
pushed to Foureaux wood, from which
we drove the enemy.
"During the night the enemy counter

' ST. PAUL, July 21. J. Frank Hanly.
ex-Governor of Indiana, was nominated
lor President of the United States on
the Prohibition ticket, and Ira D.
Landrith, of Nashville, Tenn., was
named for the Vice-Presidency at the
concluding session of the party's Na
tional convention here today.
Mr. Hanly'a nomination came on the
first ballot, and followed several hur
ried conferences between advocates of
the candidacy of William Sulzer, ex
Governor of New York, and several
brief demonstrations in the latter's be
half, which, however, were offset by
the outbursts of enthusiasm that fol
lowed Mr. Hanly's name.
Hanly Has Largo Majority.
Mr. Hanly received 440 votes, against
181 for Mr. Sulzer. FInley C. Hendrick
son. of Cumberland, Md., received 51
votes; James Gilbert Mason, of New
Jersey, 10; W. P. Ferguson, of ( Penn
eylvania. 4; Sumner W. Haynes, Indi
ana. 2, and Henry Ford, Detroit,. 1.
A motion to make Mr. Hanly's nom
ination unanimous was defeated when
objections were offered by Eugene W.
Chafln. of Arizona; Charles J. Hall, of
California, and a score of other dele-cat.-s.
Dr. Landrith was unanimously nomi
nated by a rising vote after all other
candidates for the Vice-Presidency,
among them Mr. Hendrickson, had
withdrawn.
Session Knda With Doiology.
After the nomination of Dr. Landrith,
the assembly arose, sang the doxology,
and ended a six-hour session, marking
the close of the three-day convention.
The party platform, with only one
change in the draft presented by the
resolutions committee the insertion of
a plank declaring in favor of the ini
tiative, referendum and the recall was
adopted early in today's session.
The delegates were in a cheerful
mood when the time for nominating
speeches grew near, and as Sumner
Haynes. of Indiana, concluded his
speech nominating Mr. Hanly, after an
nouncing his own withdrawal from the
race, the Indiana delegation leaped to
the platform, shouting and singing.
Other , delegations were quick to fol
low, and in a moment the procession
extended half way around the hall.
Hats, coats, flags and banners were
hurled in the air as the shouting dele
gates paraded the hall in a 12-minute
demonstration.
Sulser Demonstration Brief.
When order had been restored by
" Chairman Robert Patton, of Spring
field. Eugene Chafln nominated Mr.
Sulzer, another demonstration was be-
gun. but continued only four minutes.
Speaker after speaker asserted that
the nomination of Mr. Sulzer would
meanthe election of a prohibition Pres
ident in the Fall, and the resultant
abolition of intoxicating liquors in this
country. Time and again the Sulzer
forces broke out with songs and shouts
in an effort to evoke a popular demon
stration, but each time they were
howled down by the Hanly adherents.
The turning point in the proceedings,
in the opinion of Sulzer leaders, came
during the nominating speeches, when
the New York delegation announced
that it was ready to "stand as a unit
behind the convention's nominee."
Francis E. Baldwin, of ,the New York
delegation, arose and seconded the nom
ination of Mr. Hanly. The delega
tion cast 37 votes- for - Hanly and 13
for Sulzer. After the roll call several
states changed their votes and in
creased Hanly's total.
Sulser Accnaes Steam Roller.
Mr. Sulzer. who remained at his hotel
during the proceedings, later character
ized the convention's action as a "steam
roller victory," but added:
"As I was not a candidate for the
nomination I am not disappointed that
it has gone to Mr. Hanly."
A resolution was adopted by the con
vention but not incorporated in the
platform favoring freedom in the prac
tie of Christian Science and chiroprac
tics. The platform as finally adopted de
nounces the liquor traffic as a crime,
declares for Nation-wide prohibition
and equal suffrage, and opposes the
military programme of the Republican
and Democratic parties, but favors "a
constructive platform," which, sum
marized, makes the following declara
tions: Favors reciprocal trade treaties with
all nations.
Favors National legislation to en
courage American merchant ships.
Opposes war with Mexico; pledges aid
to the protection of American lives and
favors use of force when necessary.
Approves strict interpretation of the
Monroe doctrine.
Opposes abandonment of the Philip
pine Islands at this time, but favors
ultimate independence.
Favors uniform marriage and divorce
laws and suppression of white-slavery.
Declares for prohibition of child la
. - bor, approves eight-hour day with one
hour rest each day.
Favors a single Presidential term of
six yearsi ..
Demands public ownership of utili
ties. Favors public grain elevators.
Favors initiative, referendum and re
call.
ROME, via London. July 21. The
War Office made public today the fol
lowing announcement:
"In view of the persistent shelling
of Ala and other places in the Adige
Valley by the heavy artillery of the
enemy, our artillery yesterday bom
barded Riva,Arco and Rovereton. We
caused fires and by our curtain of fire
prevented their extinction.

"In the sector at the mouth of the

His advance by way of Werben was
arrested.' Nevertheless, we withdrew
our salient positions before a new
threatening surrounding movement in
the region of Berrestrehk."
enemy yesterday, as was expected, pre
pared to deliver a main blow, but it
failed. After the strongest fire prepa
ration over a front of 40 kilometers
(about 27 miles) attacks were made
from South Posieres to west of Ver
mandovillers. More than 17 divisions,
with more than 200,000 men, participat
ed in the attacks.
"The result for the enemy is the
first line of the German division along
a front of about three kilometers south
of Hardecourt was pressed back from
Its foremost trenches into the next
trenches, lying 800 meters behind, and
enemy divisions penetrated into the
salient of the little wood of Vermando
viilers. "On the. entire remaining front the
wild onslaughts broke to pieces against
the death-defying loyalty of our troops,
with extraordinary losses for the en
emy. Up to the present 17 officers and
1200 men have beea captured."
Then follows a contradiction nf that
British official communication of
Thursday, sent by the Poldhu wireless
station that one battalion of the 119th
regiment, consisting of 1100 men. lost
980 men and two other battalions of
the same regiment each more than
half their entire strength. The state
ment declares the regiment lost less
than BOO men, only a quarter of the
English allegation.
The British press bureau armenda a
note to the German communication
pointing out with reference to the lat
ter portion that the Poldhu message
mentioned the 190th regiment and not
the 119th.

RIVER CROSSED ON RAFTS
Austrians and Germans Are Over

Battle Being Fought for Pos
session of Strategic Heights.
BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER.
(War Correspondent of the New York
Tribune. ,By Special Cable.)
LONDON, July 21. (Special.) The
left wing of the Russian army along
the lower Lipa River swung forward
today for the second greatest Russian
gain of the month... Fighting with reck
less fury, the troops of General Brussl
Iotf swept through the enemy's "de-
lenses as 11 they were cnan ana at ino
end of the day had won an advance at
this vital point of nearly . IS miles.
The Teutonic forces under von Lin-
slngen were thrust away from the Lipa
and the Styr. their most powerful
means of defense between Lutsk and
the old Galician frontier, and the Rus
sians captured the town of Verben,
seized the important crossings of the
Styr and bagged in the day's desperate
engagements more than 1600 prisoners.
Battle Bam on Heights.
Bewildered and disorganized by this
latest sudden stroke against their lines
the Teutons are tonight fighting a
heavy battle on the heights near the
town of Beresyechk, hardly five miles
northeast of the border.
The enemy is beginning partly to
surrender to a battalion already en
gaged in the region of Beresyechk.'
the laconic but highly significant
statement issued by the Russian War
Office late tonight.
From their position at the conflu
ence or the Styr and the Lipa, tne
Russian troops launched their first
attacks today. Ever since last Mon
day, when the Austro-German forces
were driven behind the Lipa by Brus
silolfs rapid thrust, the heavy Rus
sian guns-had been battering away at
the enemy s lines in this region. When
these defenses had been weakened
sufficiently to permit of infantry ac
tion, the Czar s men were sent lor
ward in wide massed columns at a
rapid pace.
River Crossed Under Fire.
As the first lines of soldiers reached
the ndVthern bank of the river and
plunged into the stream waist high
they were mt with a withering Are
from the few Teuton batteries left un
damaged. But the attackers swept on
from all sides, on hastily-built rafts and
nontoon brldees. swimming beside their
horses or wading where shallow places
could be found.
The Austrians and Germans were
overwhelmed. Before the call for re
treat could be sounded hundreds of
them had fallen or surrendered. The
main army retreated in confusion along
the east bank of the Styr. abandoning
munitions and scores of guns. At Ver
ben. temporary organization was ef
fected and the Teutons faced about to
make a stand against the oncoming
Russians. They were successful in
blocking the path of the attacking
forces at this point, but on both sides
of them the Russians swept on unhin
dered, with strong forces on the west
bank of the river and to the east of the
town.
Thus the troops of Von Llnsingen
speedily faced envelopment, xneir po
sltion at Verben was turned Into i
narrow, precarious salient, with the
Russians ready to strike at itJ center
from two directions.
Von Linslngen realized his danger
in the nick of time and withdrew his
forces to the southward just as the
Russians began their flank attacks.
At the junction of the Plasevka and
the Styr. three miles from Verben, the
German commander again attempted
to check the Russian advance. The
Russians quickly forced the two
streams at this point and compelled
the Teuton to continue, their retreat
to Beresyechk.
At this point and below It the Rus
sians are advancing as swiftly as the
enemy is falling back.

After Leaving Moorings.
LONDON, July 21. The German sub
marine minelayer which is one of the
U-35 class, one of the latest prizes of
the British navy, was visited by an
Associated Press representative today
prior to its being placed on publio ex
hibition in the Thames.
The prize, flying the German naval
ensign surmounted by the British en
sign, lay in a naval dockyard on the
east coast. The vessel Is designed
purely for mine laying. The entire
forward part is composed of wells, six
In rAimber, each containing two power
ful mines which can be released by
levers. The ship has no torpedo tubes
or other, armament, except small arms
for the crew and is only . 100 feet in
length.
Thirteen bluejackets and five offi
cers comprise the crew of the sub
marine. According to one of the sea
meh, she made, prior to her capture, 1)
trips from her base in Germany to the
British Coast and laid over 200 mines
j eels. She was on her 20th trip when she
was capLureu uy ormsa p&t-rui uudu
The sailors said that when the sub
marine was sighted and chased by a
patrol boat, the crew tried to get rid
of her remaining mines, but had not
sufficient time. Seeing that capture
was inevitable, the officers ordered the
abandonment of the ship, destroyed the
log and other records and virtually
demolished the six ' cylinder Diesel
engine of approximately 250-horse-
power. All of the crew and officers
were taken prisoner.
The hull of the submarine is in good
condition, but shows a number of dents
where it struck obstacles in its under
water voyages. The craft shows signs
of rapidity of construction, but appears
well fitted for snort trips across tne
North Sea. British naval officers
pointed out that the mines carried no
apparatus for rendering them harmless
if they broke loose from their moor-
Artillery fighting appears to occupy
the opposing forces on the Austro
Itallan front generally. Rome, how
ever, reports the capture of further
trenches on Monte Maio.

VERDUN ATTACKS ABATING
Germans Admit Loss of Three Kilo
meters of First-Line Trejiches
Near Hardicourt British
Front Is Straightened.
LONDON, July 21. Driving the Ger
mans back over tne same grouna irom
which they launched their . great
counter attack early in the week, the
British last night forced tnem tnrougn
the Forneaux wood on the Albert
Plateau. Another counter attack in
which gas shells and bombs were used
won back a portion of the wood, but
the British ' held the southern half
against violent assaults and tonight are
reported to be preparing to attempt to
seize the rest of- the position. -
At the lime time German counter
attacks against the positions won by
the French yesterday south of feoye
court were thrown back and General
Foch's men spent the day almost un
molested In consolidating their new
lines.
The German official statement ad
mits the loss of three kilometers of
first-line trenches south of Hardicourt,
hut makes no mention -of otner actions.
A little ground was gained, the British
admit, by a German attack at the
northern edge of the Leipsic salient
south of Thiepval. but it is asserted
the e-round was won back.
No effort was made by the German's
forces to press the attack around
Verdun. These actions, while showing
another slackening of the Anglo
French drive, give the utmost satis
faction to military critics here, espe
cially when considered together with
the Russian success against General
Von Linsingen and reported Italian
gains. The fact that General Haig
was able to push the German line back
in the same place, where the counter
offensive had been started, that the
German attacks on the Leipsic salient
and near Soyecourt have been weaker
and ineffective, and that they have
ceased all Verdun attacks, convince ob
servers here that the hoped for ex
haustion of the German reserves is a
fact. They believe it has been proved
that they cannot muster enough men
at any one point for a real offensive
and that the combined attack from all
sides is already beginning . to tell
heavily.
Position. StrateKtcally Valuable.
The capture of the Forneaux woods
is regarded by the strategists ' as of
the greatest importance because it
the highest spot in the area. Its ridge
commands the German positions beyond
toward Bapaume. where the country
does not lend itself easily to defense.
The wood is the place where the spec
tacular cavalry charge took place last
Saturday. A squadron of dragoons was
hurled forward against German de
tachments which were hampering the
work of consolidating newly won
British grouiid to the south, over
whelmed them and withdrew. ,
The whole effect of the last two days'
fighting has been that the British
Somme front has been straightened
from its northmost point to where it
Joins the French line.
Old Method of Child Memory Not Prac
tical, Says Dr. Edward Pace,
In Closing Lecture.
The final session of the First Summer
School of Catholic educators of the
Western Oregon archdiocese closed
yesterday with lectures and lessons by
Dr. Edward A. Pace, of the Catholic
University of America, Washington,
D. C: Dr. B. W. DeBusk. and Dr. John
P. O'Hara, of the University of Oregon
It is anticipated that meetings of
committee members from the various
departments of teaching will be held
during the coming year.
The last lecture by Dr. Pace was on
"The Child's Attitude Toward Religious
Teaching." It is better, according to
Dr. Pace, to put facts that are under
stood by the child before him than
to practice the old method of memory
work.
Dr. DeBusk says that the genius of
teaching must tome from within and
that nothing can equal Individual en
ergy and effort. "There Is no recipe
for a teacher, said Dr. DeBusk.
In Dr. O'Hara's closing talk on the
"Backgrounds of the European War,
he drew the climax of his former talks
and simmered the cause down to "inter
national rivalry and greed on the part
of the nations.
