He is also a personal acquaintance of
Mr. Hughes, who in 1908 went to In

liim.
Mr. Watson's consent to make the
speech opening the Hughes campaign
5n Oregon was obtained by State Sen
ator Gus C. Moser, president of the
Wultorpor Republican Club.
Senator Moser, as general chairman
of the local Knights of Pythias com
mittee on arrangements, went to Se
attle Sunday to meet the special Pyth

3Wr. Watson to speak here before the

At a meeting in Republican head
quarters yesterday, attended by Ralph
K. Williams, National committeeman:
Thomas B. Neuhausen, vice-chairman
of the Republican campaign commit
tee: Senator Moser and others, it was
decided that the meeting should be
held under the auspices of the Repub
lican State Committee and the Baker
Theater was engaged.
Mr. Watson has had an Interesting
political career. He was a member of
Congress from 1895 to 1897 and then
from 1899 continuously to 1909. For
several sessions he was Repubican
whip in the House of Representatives.
In 1908, running against Thomas R.
Marshall, now Vice-President, he was
defeated for Governor of Indiana by a
majority of only 8000 votes out of
750.000.
This Spring in the primary he ran
against Harry S. New for the Repub
lican nomination for United States
Senator against Senator Kern, Demo
crat, losing by only 4000 votes. On
the death of Senator Shively he was
rtom'nated to make the race for the
short-term seat against Tom Taggart,
the Democratic nominee.
Indiana Stronir for Hughe.
If elected Mr. Watson will take his
seat immediately after Congress con
venes next December with four years
and three months to serve.
"Indiana," declared Mr. Watson yes
terday, with emphasis, "will go for Mr.
Hughes and It will go for him by a
tig vote. There Is no question about
the result there.
"So far as the re3t of the country is
concerned, the indications that Mr.
Hughes will be elected are - growing
stronger all the time. He is strong
everj where in the East. And he Is a
wonderful campaigner. I doubt if there
Id today his equa: in public life in the
Tower of keen, clear analysis of a situa
tion and the ability to sum it up so
that everybody can understand exactly
what he says.
"I know Mr. Hughes" ability as a
campaigner from personal experience.
When I was running for Governor of
Indiana in 1908, he came to Indianapolis
end spoke In my behalf. He talked
only 50 minutes, but when he quit talk
ing there was absolutely nothing more
to lay on the subject. He had said
it all. And he had analyzed the cam
paign issue and presented it so simply,
so clearly and so forcefully that every
person In his audience saw it exactly
as he saw it.
"No attempt was made in that cam
paign to so much as answer Mr.
Hughes speech. It couldn't be an
swered. that was all. and nobody was
ioousn enough, to try.
Sentiment Is Unanimous.
"In Indiana," went on Mr. Watson,
"conditions couldn't be more satisfac
tory for Republicans than at present.
Indiana is politically the best-organized
state in the Union. That applies
to all parties. Everybody is in poli
tics, talks politics and knows politics.
The organization gets right down to
individual voters. It is so thorough
and so far-reaching that It is possible
at any time absolutely to diagnose the
exact state of political sentiment.
"Never in all my experience in In
diana politics have I known such in
terest and enthusiasm and general as
surance as there is among Indiana Re
publicans this year.
"Why. there was a meeting of the
Republican State Central Committee a
few days ago, and every last commit
teeman was there. That was almost
unheard-of. They all brought the' same
message that Indiana was Republican
and nothing could stop it.
"It's the same in the district meet
ings, the county meetings and the ward
meetings. The Republicans come out
and attend these meetings and partici
pate in the campaign preparations with
an enthusiasm that, even Indiana never
saw before.

"The battles In East Galicia and in

but all failed under the heaviest losses.
"Russian attacks between Bere
stechk and the Stokhod, in spite of the
great loss of life had no success What
ever. In most cases the attacks were
stopped by our artillery and Infantry
fire.
"Where ' the Russians entered tem
porarily our trenches, as they did to
the west of Lutsk (army of Colonel
General Von Terztyansky), they were
ejected by a counter attack."

NEUTRALS TALK PEACE
SOCIALIST CONFERENCE TOLD
DIFFICULTIES tS WAV.
Dutch Leader Expresses View That the
Superiority of Entente Allies Is
Coming Into PlaT.
LONDON, July 31. The international
conference of delegates of the Socialist
party of nine neutral countries was
opened at The Hague today with an
address by the Dutch leader, M. Toel-
stra. who laid stress on the disastrous
consequences of the war in hampering
social progress says a Central News
dispatch from Amsterdam.
Military successes, the speaker de
clared, hitherto had been on the side
of the central powers but it seemed
the zenith had passed and the superior
ity of the entente allies In men and
money was definitely coming into play.
The vital interests of all Socialists re
quire them to ask whether the time
had not arrived for them to resume
their liberty of action, he said.
The speaker. adds the dispatch,
thought that no durable peace was
possible on the basis of the present
war, or the definite destruction of
"Prussian militarism," but Socialists
must see that restoration of the Inde
pendence of Belgium and Poland and
the constitution of a democratic Balkan
federation were made essential points
of any peace programme.
"The question of Alsace and Lorraine
was more difficult," the dispatches
quote the speaker as adding, and he be
lieved the Socialist parties of France
and Germany should aim at some such
that they dominate the German guns
here and they owe it largely to the
airmen. The German gunners must
fire by maps, searching for hostile
batteries by calculating probabilities.
Because the French still hold command
of the air, no German sausage balloons,
as the French call them, are now able
to keep the air. since they began to
be burned by a new device three weeks
ago.
The purpose of the Incessant shell
fire Is to break up the new German
diggings and keep the Germans con
stantly unprotected and cause as many
casualitles among them as possible.
Some 80 per cent of the casuallties in
this drive are from shell and direct
gun fire, without Infantry assaults or
without changing positions. The gun
fire wastes the adversary's strength in
men. Five hundred shells may only
tear up a trench work, and then one
shell will kill or wound 20 or 30 men.

Harmony of World.
PARIS. July 31. King Peter, of Eer

village on a promontory of the Isle of
Euboa in the Aegean Sea. according to
a. correspondent of the Journal.
The King, who is 72 years old, rises
at 4 A. M. every day and rides 40 miles
on a motorcycle about the island. Re
ferring to the war. he said to his
French Interviewer:
"Your generals are far better than
the generals of the enemy. They have
less routine and more talent. As fo
the men it is enough to cry the word
'France' to intoxicate a whole army
with confidence.
"There are two patriotisms. One con
sists of hating the countries of other
peoples; the other in loving one's own.
France's patriotism is of the latter
sort. The victory of France is going
to re-establish the harmony of the
world."

This is fully apparent as one enters, for here we find it on every hand, but yet not at a sacri
fice to utility. The Reception Hall is the-key to the entire plan, for from here access is had to
any part of the house den, stairway, living-room and service portion.
A single stairway does duty better than a combination, because though partly concealed so
that it can be used by servants at will, yet no part of its utility is lost and it also affords passage -to
the garage, toilet, coat closet, etc, and to the basement. The plan fully explains itself and
does not require further description,-for a careful examination will show that everything ' .
requisite to the comfort and well-being of a family of five or six has been thought out.
