It is believed here that the Ger mans are making their ltrtguty efforts at Verdun to give strength in the iu crease in spirit of the German people, of the Gciinnn peopie, aroused by the Noith sea naval battle. A German infantry attack late Sun day, according to the report, wrested some of the French line trenches from the holders in the -region between Dmn loup and Fort Vaux. The invaders were iickly driven out by a fierce counter attack. Despite the recent German surceses around Verdun, the' of rices nud rimi remain sublimely confident the city will rot betaken. It is held that ihe Ger mans are without sufficient reserves to start storming action nloi.g the Verdun battle front simultaneously.

R0OSEYET TO BE IN BOX WITH THE CLAN Washington Bunch Drops Monkey Wrench In Har mony Machine Cogs By H. L. Rennick. (United Press staff correspondent.) Chicago, June 5. The progressive na tional committee went into session to day rendy to make peace with the G. O. P., but not to "pay too high a price for harmony." Declaring that as yet no conferences had been arranged, nor any overtures made for agreement o'f the two parties on a candidate, George W. Perkins, Bull Moose chieftain, issued a statement out lining the terms the progressives will consider. Some political leaders interpreted Perkins statement as a flat refusal to accept Hughes. "I am for harmony between the two conventions," Perkins said. "I shall use every ounce of ability I have any every moment of my time to briiur it about, but not for one moment will I iose sight of the fact that you'ean pay too high a price for almost anything, and certainly can pay too high a prico for harmony. "Wc could have had harmony with England in 1770 if we had paid the price. We could hnye had harmony in) lstiU, but we would nave and no country as a result.

Predictions and Guesses About Convention Doings By Perry Arnold. (Tinted Press staff correspondent.) Chicago, June 5 The old guard made it first definite proffer to the pro gressives today. Secure in its own be lief that it can control the votes of a majority of the delegates, the dominent forces of republicanism want Hughes. But they only want Hughes if they can be convinced he can be a winner next November. Therefore, their preliminary foeler to the progressives was to ascer tain whether an agreement could not be possible with Hv.ghes aa a candidate, running on any sort of a platform which tho progressives might require. The. old guard isn't belittling the power which it feels the progressives can. swing and its plan went further than a mere suggestion that agreement come about on Hughes! It went so far as to say they were the ones who put Hughes over, The scheme, fostered by the old guard was to havo the progres sives meet Wednesday aaul not later than Thursday night, to nominate Hughes. Then by Friday or Saturday, the republican convention would choose tho same standard benrer. Tho progressives could very well "point with pride" to the fact that, by their action in naming Hughes, they had forced the O. O. P. Tiito selecting tho same lender. , Try to Smoke Hughes Out. The progressive leaders, who have been waiting some sort of an olive branch suggestion, made it known today they were first for Roosevelt and only for Hughes if some sort of a "satisfac tory" Btutement of principles could bo extracted from the justice. Failing that they flaunted the big stick of a third ticket. (1 Cummins Crowd Hopeful- Trying To Smoke Hughes Out-Teddy Not to Come Chicago, June (i.

There appeared very little doubt to day that Hughea can bo nominated if the big three" Penrose, Barnes and Crane Bay so. But tho big three do not want to say so unless they can be as sured of a united party behind Hughes. Thoy do not think Roosevelt can pos sibly draw all the votes of a re-united party. They do not think any of the "favorite sons" is well enough known nationally, or is of sufficient potency to defeat Wilson, without progressive! support. In other words, tho old guard is in tho position of having control, but not knowing what to do with its con trol. One counter suggestion advanced by the uncompromising progressive group was for the republicans to go ahead and nominate Hughes and the progressives to choose Roosevelt. Then, if the accept ance statement by Hughes sufficiently supports the Roosevcltian brand of pre paredness and Americanism, it is plan ned that Colonel Roosevelt will with draw acceptance of the progressive nomination and throw support to the justice. It was pointed out today that the colonel has all along maintained that he is fighting for a certain set of principles, for ir his St. I.ouis Bpecch, for instance, he Bnid he accepted sup port solely in the knowledge that this support was the approval of the priuci-. pics for which he stands and not neccs sarily of approval of him personally.

Civilians in Germany must ent. no meat for the next eight weeks, Herr Adolph Von Itatocki, Ger many's new food "dictator" now hold ing one of the most important posts in tiie empire, told Jhe United Press tu d.iy, in n frnnk discussion of tho food situation ns ho found it on BBsuiuinjr office last week. " This regulation, the new food minis ter snul, should cause no alarm in Ger many and no elation in the ramps of Germany's enemies. ... "If the coming harvest i only, me diuin," he said, "the starvation , of Germany through the Itrltisn blockade, is out of tho question." "Tho scigo" of Germany, Herr Von Batocki said, has just bfigun. The coming eignt weeks may cause some, discomfort to thoso Germans who aio fond of meat. Furthermore, the meat shortnge is apt to continue for at least three niontns, he declared franhryj "The cattle aro lean now, besuusc of a poor harvest in 1915," he said. "They cannot be slaughtered now. We must wait until they me fattened on pasturage. But meanwhile we have enough meat for our military hospital and places where it is urgently need ed. "At all events thero )h enough ftiod in Germany, but it is nacossary.th.it civilians eat no meat for the next eight weeks, hiarvation is out of the ques tion, but we must consider not only the present food situation but tho situation during the coming wincr. In order to insuro a supply for this winter, we must eat meat sparingly during tho Bummer. Probably meat cards will bo issued throughout Germany and there will bo a few meatless weeks. 'Tho cause of the present shortao is the bad harvest last year. If the harvest this year is even medium, tho food situation will begin to improve the middle of July or tho first of Au gust." Herr Vim Huto.-ki's ,joi is to tako the stranirle hold out of uie British blockade. Ho must prevent the star- vation of Germany by her enemies.
