time.
laror Hug-hss or Koot.
Uncertainty concerning Colonel Roose
velt's Plans Is assigned as the reason.
Stand pat" senators are endeavoring
to create the lmDression that the race
it between Justice Hughes and former
Senator Root and that Colonel Roose
velt has no chance of winning the nomination.
The "Stand-Pat" ticket that would
bit satisfactory to the "Old Guard" wai
aid to be:
For president Hughes or Root.
For vice president Burton or Fair
banks.
Teddy May Like Platform.
All concede that the platform will be
to Colonel Roosevelt's liking and that
he will Influence the selection of the
standard bearer. Progressive Republi
cans declare he will be able to control
the nomination even if he does not se
cure It for himself.
Mope has returned to the camps of
the favorite sons in the. view of some
senators. It was declared today they
could unite on a candidate and force
hls nomination. The "favorite sons,"
It was said, were for neither Hughes
nor Roosevelt andprefer one of them
selves, but it Is within the range of
possibility that they may pass by Bur
ton and Fairbanks, rated as in the as
cendancy among "favorite sons" and
go to Senator Borah, of Idaho, or some
other dark horse. ,
Will Hot Offend Big- Moose.
Colonel Roosevelt's advice will be
asked in all Important matters before
the convention. It was stated. Nothing
will be done or attempted to offend
hirh, "stand-pat" senators declared, and
it was said if the former president will
accept and support Mr. Root as the
Republican candidate, there will be no
obstacle to his "coming back in 1920. '
Senators and representatives are
speculating as to what the Progressive
arty convention In Chicago will do.
he consensus of opinion appears to
e that If the Republican convention
nominates a candidate other than
oosevelt, but acceptable to him, the
regressive convention will make no
nomination, but will keep its organl-
latlon Intact and mark time as a third
arty until 1920.
lolnt Out T. B.'s Weakness.
The fundamental weakness of the
pponents of Colonel Roosevelt was
aid to be the fact that they have no
andidate upon whom they can unite.
SOme close observers of develop-
ents in the past two weeks said It
as possible that If Senator Warren
Harding of Ohio, who will be tem-
orary and possibly permanent chair
man, maKes a Keynote speecn mat
weeps the convention and finds en
liusiastlc response throughout the
otintry, the convention may turn to
Im for standard bearer.
Practical politicians are clrculat-
g stories calculated to damage Jus-
lee Hughes' candidacy. One of these
that Job Hedges, prominent New
ork Republican, was enthusiastic
uporter of Mr. Hughes for governor
of New ; York and "worked ealowly
for his election. -
Alter the election Mr. Hedges rott
tugnee and said he had never
Mr.
Derore asked for an office, but de
sired to be state Insurance commis
sioner. Mr, Hughes is reported to have
answered: "Hedges, you were too ac
tive In the campaign. 1 canot ap
point you."
Roosevelt May Like Platform.
Chicago, May 30. (I. N. S.) Colo
nel Roosevelt will not -run on a third
ticket If 1 is not nominated by the
Republicans since the- Republican
platform will meet with his approval.
This is the opinion expressed by
National Republican Chairman Charles
D. Ililles.
"If Colonel Roosevelt should regard
the party nomination as a misfortune
ar.d the platform as "bunk." he might
feel Justified In entering the race as
a third candidate." said Mr. Hilles.
"Such action, however, would make
certain the re-election of President
Wilson. If the Republicans put up
a candidate that he can support and
make a clear, ringing, straightfor
ward declaration of faith, I do not
believe he wll: enter the fight."
Mr. Hilles stated in a general way
his expectations concerning the plat
form that will be adopted by the con
vention. Preparations for national
defense will be the eynote. with
other subjects Interwoven with It.
1-creases In the size and equipment
of both the army and navy will be
declared for.
The tariff plank will be a reitera
tion of past declarations of the party,
and the Wilson tariff law will be
dealt with in uccordance with its
workings from the time of its enact
ment until the outbreak of war in
Kurope a period of about seven
months.
The Mexican situation will prob
ably b referred to unde the head of
shortcomings of the present adminis
tration. The possibility of monetary
inflation under the federal reserve act
will be pointed out. A merchant ma
rine and tha fostering of foreign
trade will be vigorously advocated.
Boosting for Hughe".
Chicago, May 30. (T. N. 8.) Frank
Hitchcock, the leading Charles K.
Hughes booster, arrived here yesterday.
He told newspapermen that Hughes
would have 87 of the New York votes.
The managers of Ellhu Roofs contest
deny this allegation and a verbal bat
tle between the two camps Is In pro
gress. "I have not seen Justice Hughes for
months," said Hitchcock. "I am not
here at his direction, but am acting at
the request of numerous leading Re
publicans. "While Hughes Is not a candidate
for the presidential nomination we do
not believe he will refuse if it is ten
dered to him."
Drys Make Promise.
Chicago, May 30. (I. N. S.) The
Prohibition party sent out from its
national headquarters in Chicago
today, the names of Its committee of
60 which will strive to Induce both the
Republican and Democratic parties to
Include a nation-wide dry plank in
thetr platform.
The Prohibitionists promise tn their
statement of policy the support of their
entire enlistment of voters to parties
and candidates which will declare for
the overthrow of the liquor traffic.

Washington, May 30. (I. N. 8.)
The fight for a bigger navy was begun
In the house yesterday.
Just before adjournment amendments
providing for six battle cruisers, two
dreadnaughts, 60 submarines, 28 de
stroyers, and six scout cruisers were
Introduced.
Representative Farr of Pennsylva
nia, a member of the naval affairs
committee, aroused unusual enthusi
asm in the debate when he declared
he would vote for 25 battleships. If
need be, and that he would support an
appropriation of $300,000,000 this year.
Aeronantlos Item Called "Scandalous."
Representative Britten of Chicago,
as a member of the committee, de
clared the appropriation of only $2.
000.000 for aeronautics was "scanda
lous" when the naval experts agreed
that $7,0u0,000 is needed to put the
naval flying corps In its proper condi
tion. Only nine aeroplanes In the navy
are serviceable, Mr. Britten said.
Representative Roberts ot Massa
chusetts, another member of the com
mittee said:
"Captain Bristol, who is In charge
of aviation in the navy department,
recommended an appropriation on this
year's bill of $13,000,0u0 for aeronau
tics. Hary Should Bare $6,000,000.
"Of that amount $6,000,000 was for
aircraft costing $3,000,000 each. Upon
the suggestion of the general board he
agreed to eliminate this $6,000,000
from the estimate and said that $6,
000,000 was the least amount the navy
should have for aeronautics In this
bill."
The closing speech in the general
debate was made by Majority Leader
Kltchin, who said:
"A little more than a year ago. Sec
retary Daniels. Admirals Fletcher and
Badger and others told us that with
the addition of two battleships our
navy would be equal to that of any in

TEUTONS OUST FRENCH
FROM POSITIONS IN THE
VICINITY OF CUMIERES
(Continued Fmm Pg One)
On the eastern slopes of Deadman's
Hill the Teutons' wild charges col
lapsed under a withering fire from
French batteries. Around Caurette
woods the German detachments lost
heavily, but in spite of this they came
on again and again, rushing headlong
over trampled ground littered with
their own dead and dying, until th
incessant pounding forced the French
to retire behind the Cumieres-Bethin-court
road.
Without rest, the Germans Immedi
ately emerged from the scanty shel
ter of the wood and the ruins of
Cumieres and repeatedly charged, at
tempting to force the French further
southward along the Chattancoui t
highway. All these attacks were met
with equally fierce resistance, and fi
nally they ceased.
East of the river Meuse a violent
cannonade shook the ground all night.
It was especially severe west or

tories have been won by Germans on
both sides of the River Meuse, it was

prisoners being taken. On the eastern
side, German troops advanced in Thla

COLONEL JOHN MOSBY,
NOTED CONFEDERATE
GUERILLA LEADER, DEAD
(Conrlnned From Pge One)
became known that a handful of dar
ing cavalrymen had ridden completely
round McClellan's army, the northern
people became panic-stricken, while the
southerners were Jubilant. It was this
effect that was the keynote of all of
Mosby's subsequent exploits.
Captures Union General.
It was not until the winter of 1862
63 that Mosby was made colonel and
was given an independent comman.'.
This at first consisted of a handful of
j'cavalry and was designed merely as a
defense for the citizens in the upper
tier of counties In Virginia. It was
not in the nature of Mosby, however,
I to remain In the defensive for a great
! length of time. During the first few
: weeks he made only a few raids. On
! the night of March 8, 1863. Mosby.
with only 20 men, penetrated Into the
Washington, and Fredericksburg, en
tered Fairfax court house under cover
of darkness, captured General Slough
ton In the midst of bis sleeping army
and carried aim safely away, together
with two score prisoners and 100
horses, all of which. Including tha cap
tured general were safely delivered
the following evening to the Confed
erate authorities at Culpepper.
Grant Admired Xosby.
From that time on, for more than
two years, Mosby and his radiators
were the terror of the L'nlon armies.
Squadron after squadron was ;ent to
destroy him. Sometimes they returned,
sometimes they- did not, but never did
they accomplish the object of their
mission. In the meantime Mosby end
his daring men made raid after raid
upon the Union army, often penetrat
ing deep into the Union lines, as, when
they captured General Sheridan's en
tire Supply train. General Grant had
the greatest admiration for the bril
liant Mosby and, after the war, became
his warm friend.
After the close of the war Mosby
opened a law office ln Warrenton, Va.,
and became a Republican. He support
ed Grant in 1872, and in 1878 was ap
pointed consul at Hongkong. He did
efficient service ln that capacity until
his retirement in 1885.- Upon his re
turn to the United States he estab
lished himself as a lawyer in San Fran
cisco and practiced there until he was
appointed assistant attorney of the de
partment of Justice under the Roose
velt administration. He did efficient
work In the war against the western
cattlemen, but was retired ln June,
1910, owing to his old age.
