"There seems to be tie strongest

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. The French
also look to actions by the allies at
points along tho line remote from Ver
dun to help solve the Verdun problem.

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. Now I, for one, am deeply
imbued with the belief that we are fac
ing just as momentous a struggle, with
just as important questions to decide as
in 17 70 and lHliO. These questions or
temporizo with them, they will simply
come back to plaguo us iu the immed
iate future and come back with greater
force and violence.
No Ub Postponing Day.
"This being my belief I will not con
sent to any arrangement that is simply
postponing the dny of settlement."
Perkins admitted that the progres
sive nntionnl committee might make
some arrangements leading to a confer-

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.

I (Continued Pag Thru.)
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

support was the approval of the priuci-.

"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. H
the public well informed regarding the
food situution .ind obtaining public co
operation, he expects to do much more.
To undertake this task, an American
must imagine the United States block
