(U. P. ) Cliarles Evans Hughes started out tonight to set a stumping record, which may, be fore November, eclipse that of any previous candidate In mileage and number of words. He left on a trip tV.at will take him from coast to coast, and which Is only the first of a aeries of tours throughout which the G. O. P. aspirant for presidential honors will outline his policies and attack tho .e of his opponent now In the White House.

There are indications that Prianzer-Baltins armies have recuperated from tho Ini tial blow f General Brusiluff's drive and are rallying for a counter offen sive. i Petrograd admitted officially this afternoon that the Russians operating to the southwest of Kuty, on the Ulaly Czeretnosz have been forced back a short distance to the southwest. The explanation given is that "nearly a division" was hurled forward against the "small infantry detachments" oc cupying the mountain passes. ' Earlier Claims Exaggerated. In view of the previous Kussian claims that the Austrian wing was "cut to pieces and driven to a wild flight, seeking refuge In the Carpath ian hills, this latest report indicates that General Ff lanzcr-Baltin's lines are still Intact and sufficiently strong and fresh to launch counter attacks. None of the official reports gives details of Kovel. Von Uinslngcn yes terday forced a Russian withdrawal Of 400 to 6U0 yards on the Stawak river. The next few days are expected to bring a decision on this front. An Official Austrian statement issued t'hursday says Russian attacks on the Kovel line failed and adds "otherwise the enemy was considerably more Oulet, this being ascribed to his losses." i Austrian Claim Progress. Tonight's Vienna statement reports Austrian progress in the Carpathians nd the capture of 325 men. The battle Dug extended as far as i'elatyn uii the truth, i!0 miles due -west of Koluinea. j The increasing indications of a Counter offensive on a la he Teuton armies in the Incidental with impor oi tensive on a large scale by ie east are o- lportant staff Changes. Field Marshal von llinden- terg is now in supreme command, and . today comes the news that Field Mar- : thai von Mackensen. victor of the tunajec "Break - through - battle" of fast fall, has joined Hludenburg. The Substitution In the German official re torts of tlie name of Archduke Karl ' for that of the Bavarian GeneraJCount on Bothmer is not explained. Reports - lave It that Von Bothmer has been Shelved. The Austrian heir apparent las been transferred from the eastern . Italian front and it is said Von Both i fer has gone to that theatre of war. Field Marshal von Mackensen has not figured in the official dispatches since Jiobile warfare in the Balkans gave - ay to entrenchment and artillery bombardment. He is generally believed io be more familiar with t lie Carpa v thlan battlefield and Russian tactics than any other general excepting indenburg.

TOURISTS GIVE GO-BY TO DISTRICTS WHERE ROADS NOT KEPT UP Commissioner Baker Tells of Auto Trip Over State He Has Just Concluded, Residents of central and southern Oregon, who are making their com munities attractive to motor tourists, are having plenty of guests this sum mer. Those who do not keep up their roads and provide no conveniences for visitors are complaining because motorists "go around" them. Such was the observation of George ti. Baker, city commissioner of public affairs, who returned late Friday night from a two weeks' trip over the state. Mr. Baker was accompanied by Mrs. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. John F. Logan, Mrs. M. V. Skeel, Bruce Gal loway and Lee Pearl. The party went first to Cloud Cap Inn, thence through the central Ore gon cities and towns down to Klamath Falls and subsequently to Crater lake. Fishing was good, the commis sioner reports, and much time was spent on the Umpqua, the Rogue and McKenzie. "I found plenty of good roads and plenty not so good," he said. "Some how the tourists have the bad roads 'spotted' long in advance. Some codj exists among the automoblllsts. When they meet, they will say 'Use this road,' 'Don't use that,' 'Cut out this town, the hotels are rotten,' and so on. It was plain that the towns that make an effort to entertain tlfese vis itors are getting plenty of them." Mr. Baker says he saw more of the state In the necessarily hurried trip than he ever saw before. Delightful farms were encountered everywhere with fine looking orchards in tho Rogue and Willamette valleys. Fire Sweeps Town Of Livermore, Cal.

Sughea deUTerad his speech of acceptance of the Hepubllcan nomination last Monday evening la Hew York. The next day a committee rep resenting distinguished American writers gave out the following open letter that la worthy of consideration by every citizen: TO the Honorable Charles EL Hughes: The professional writers who sign this letter have small interest in parties, but a very deep interest in democracy. It is our hope, through this voluntary association, to assist in the promotion of honest, educational discussion in order that- fundamental issues may not be decided in prejudice and ignorance. Mr. Wilson's beliefs have been expressed in law and in declared policies. He has made an open record by which he may be judged. Wise choice .s not possible unless you yourself make equally specific statement of purposes and convictions. . Without intent to offend, we feel justified in charging that in no single public utterance have you filed a bona fide bill of particulars, nor have you offered a single constructive suggestion. Generalities are without value; blanket criticism is worthless. What we desire to know, what it is fair that the electorate should know, are the exact details of your disagreement with President Wilson. What hat he done that you would not have done, and what haa he failed to do that you would have done or propose to do? Honesty and patriotism demand that you put yourself upon record in such manner as to permit people to judge you as they are now able to judge President Wilson. For example: 1 Would you have filed instant protest against the invasion of Belgium and backed up that protest with the United Styes navy? 2 It is arrant nonsense to talk about action that would have prevented the Lusitania tragedy. The vague advertisement did not appear until shortly before the hour of sailing. The occurrence was one of these things that civilization has made the world regard as incredible. The only honest ques tion is this: Would you have broken relations with Germany at once? 3 Would you have urged upon congress an embargo upon the ship ment of munitions to the allies? 4 Would you urge universal compulsory military service? 5 You are frank in stating that Huerta's morals were of no concern to America; does this mean that you would have recognised Huerta? 6 As matters stand today, would you be in favor of intervening in Mexico ? 7 Does your attack upon the Wilson shipping bill mean that you are in favor of ship subsidies? 8 You speak enthusiastically of the rights of the worker. Does this imply that you indorse the Clayton anti-trust law and the seaman's bill? Or will you urge their repeal? 9 What are your specific complaints against the federal reserve law? 10 As governor of New York, you opposed the income tax amend ment; does this antagonism persist? Do you or do you not believe in paying tor preparedness out of a tax on incomes, inheritances and munitions? We agree with you that it is a "critical period," by far too critical in deed for candidates to talk in terms of office seeking rsther than in the limple, earnest language of definite Americanism.

RoarT Is a "Dandy." Corvallis, Or.. Aug. 5. Hundreds of motorists pass throagh Corvallis every week, from the north and south and any number of them state that the main highway north and south through Benton county Is the finest thorough fare in the state, excepting the hard surfaced roads. The highway la sim ply a graveled road but is as smooth as a floor and free from dust. The county court had the road thoroughly drained, rounded up and a thick cov ering of river gravel put on, a'nd autos can run at a speed of 30 miles an hour with safety. Perhaps under the heavy traffic that roads near a large city have to withstand, this make of road, would not stand up, but for Benton county.it serves every purpose of a hard sur faced thoroughfare.

DRAW CLOSER AND CLOSER TO BORDER Reports Received Ten Days Ago Had Americans Less Than 30 Miles From Line. Washington, Aug. 5. (U. P.) An the time for opening the American Mexican peace conference draws near General Pershing, in charge of the punitive expedition in Mexico, Is drav- ing his troops closer and closer to the border. It was learned tonight that Per shing, on last reports received 10 days ago, was less than 30 miles from the I international line, 'though his out I nnKtn are nrnhuhlv npnttr1 an , r- south as El Valle. It Is likely his headquarters will be continued at Colonia Oublan until the conferences of the Mexican anj American commissioners are com pleted. By brining the bulk of his forces back toward the line, Pershing will be in a position to throw out at once an effective patrol on the border, in conjunction with Carranza troops, as soon as final details of the arrange ments have been completed. Prelim inary plans have been drawn already to the satisfaction of both sides. It is understood.
