IN SOUTHERN TYROL

Fighting Around Verdun Apparently Brought to Halt By Sheer Exhaustion of Combatants.

BERLIN, June 14.—The Russian offensive, which has been directed against the southern portion of the eastern front, broke out yesterday against Field Marshal Von Hindenburg's forces, at a point about Beventyfive miles north of Pinsk. The Russians made several successive attacks with masses of infantry. The war office announcement of today says they were repulsed with heavy losses.

PBTROGRAD, June 14.—In their advance upon Czernowitz, the capital of TRukowina, the Ru3Sians have occupied the village of Sniatin, twenty miles northwest of the city, the wax office announced today. In addition to their previous captures the Russians "have taken twenty officers, six thousand men, six guns and ten machine guns.

ROME, June 14, (via London) Austrian attacks along the line of the Posina in the southern Tyrol, made after intensive artillery preparation on Monday night, were everywhere repassed by the Italians, the war office announced today.

PARIS. June 14.-11:45 a. m.—A violent artillery engagement took place last night in the vicinity of Vaux on the Verdun front. There were no Intantry actions before Verdun.

PARIS, June 14.—The fighting around Verdun has once more died down from sheer exhaustion of combatants.

An entire division, half of whom were Bavarians and half Pomeranians, was used up by the Germans in twelve separate attempts Monday to storm the French positions north of Thiaumont. From this position the French flanking Mnes attacked the Germans advancing on Vaux plateau. After a desperate struggle a footing was obtained in some of the trenches on Hill No. 321, half a mile west of Thiaumont and a mile east of Bras.

No effort was made to increase this Advantage yesterday, owing probably to the losses on Monday, which, according to prisoneis, were exceptionally neavy.

FLAGS RAISE HOSPITAL FUNDS.

He Is also requested t" send the name .of a friend to whom can be sent one of the flags.

Those who have the plan in charge say that many of the men sent in addition to their own pay for the flgs, money for

others for their friends, and

the number of "double orders" more than, offset the number of flags returned.

Absorption Process Makes Faces Young

Success has at last come to scientists who for years have sought some method cf removing the outer veil of facial skin in cases of unsightly complexions, Which would be both painless and harmless. The new*Trocesa is so simple, so inexpensive, the wonder is no one had discovered it long ago. It has be*n amply demonstrated thai) common mercolized wax (sola by druggists in ounce packages) entirely removes, by rentle absorption, the withered, lifelens surface skin, showing the youthful, rrselike skin beneath. The wax is applied at night, like cold cream, and washed off in the morning. The nbsorptipn also cleanses clogged pores, increasing the skin's breathing capacity and preserving tone, color and natural eiftuty of the new skin.

A simple and harmless wrinkle remover which has also proved quite suciCtssful can easily be made at home in a Jiffy. All one need do is to dissolve nn ounce of powdered saxolltc in a half pint of witch hazel and bathe the face in the solution once a day for awhile.

After the very first application the finer lines disappear and the deeper ones soon follow.

was read by J. Bruce Kremer, the secretary of the national committee. Then the program called for the opening prayer by the Rev. James W. Lee, presiding elder of the St. Louis district Methodist Episcopal church, south. The reading of the list of temporary officers already agreed upon was next in order, then tho keynote speech by the temporary chairman, Martin H. Glynn, of New York.

The speech was expected to take an hour. At its conclusion tne roll of states was to be called for representation on the committees on credentials, permanent organization, rules and order of business, platform and committees to notify the candidates nominated.

Committee Reports.

Adjournment-will be taken until noon Thursday when', the committees will report. Permanent organization will be effected and after that Ollie James, of Kentucky, delivers' his speech as permanent chairman the convention may listen to some of the party's orators, after which adjournment will be taken until Friday morning, when the platform.. will be read-and., adopted. Then .will follow a recess and the presidential nomination wiil cbme late Friday night.

Whether the convention will adjourn after President Wilson has been renominated arid a session Jjeld Saturday morning, to name the vice president or whether -the convention will take up the vice presidency after the president is named has not yet been finally decided. A number of the leaders desire to have the convention complete its work late Friday night or early Saturday morning, so as to avoid a Saturday session.

Delegations Bring Bands. Some of the delegations that brought brass bands with them marched to the Coliseum in a body. One of the largest organizations here is the Cook County Democratic club, which arrived last night carrying a boom for Roger Sullivan, of Chicago, for vice president. They carried a large printed card bearing the following: "We want Roger C- Sullivan for vice president."

The supporters of the other candidates for vice president were not bo conspicuous, although an organization of Indiana democrats, 250 strong, marched to the Coliseum wearing Marshal) buttons and carrying small flags.

Nearly everybody who went to the convention from the eastern part of St. Louis journeyed by way of Washington street, which, for two hours before the convention convened, was transformed into a "golden lane." On either side of the broad avenue stood woman suffragists arrayed in yellow. The golden lane stretched for ^twelve blocks from the hotel district to the Coliseum and the mute demonstration was expected by its originators to influence the delegates in the matter of a declaration for suffrage.

Secretary ot War Baker, who arrived here last night from Washington with the planks drafted personally by President Wilson, will submit them to the resolutions committee when it is appointed. Mr. Bajter has taken extra precautions to prevent the text of the plank in his custody from reaching the public before submission to the committee.

Expressions of approval were heard today regarding the suggested plan to win over members of the progressive party by making overtures to them in the democratic platform. Secretary Baker, in discussing this phase of the political situation, said the party leaders hoped to get progressive support by drawing a platform so that It will meet with their approval.

The national committee has adopted a design for a campaign button suggested by National Committeeman McLean, of North Carolina. It bears a picture of President Wilson with the motto "America First," in bold red letters.

The North Carolina delegation is urging the appointment of Edward E. Britton, of that state, as permanent secretary of the convention. He held the place four years ago.

The Coliseum filled rapidly just before noon, some delay in opening the doors to spectators preventing an earlier influx. The bands accompanied the delegations to the hall, but were not allowed to march in. Moving picture machines and cameras were planted at- every vantage point.

skylight, many of the delegates soon removed their coats and it promised soon to become a coatle3s throng. Texas delegates tossed miniature bales pf cotton to the delegates.

At 11:45 the offlcial band began the opening concert in accompaniment to a male quartet that sang a new song about America through megaphones. The song brought great applause.

Just before the convention was called to order the band struck up "Columbia the Gepi of the Ocean," and the delegates rose joining in the chorus and waving American ffags. "Dixie" brought a roar, interrupted with the rebel yell.

A ."Woody" tiger was sent to Chairman McCombs' desk by a New York delegate.

Tho crowd was patient, orderly and quiet as it waited for the convention to begin. A half hour after the time set for the start the delegations .still were coming in and notables were taking'. seats ,.on -the. platform

Chairman .MpCombs took hisr. place at his desk at 12:30 amid cheers and applause.

A few thumps of his gavel on a wooden sounding board quickly secured order and he cried: "The convention will be in order."

One verse of "America" was then sung by the entire crowd with tossing flags keeping the rythm.

This was followed by one verse of "The Star Spangled Banner." Rev. James W. Lee, Methodist Episcopal clergyman of St. Louis, gave the prayer.

Cheers For, McCombs.

Immediately after the prayer Chairman McCombs delivered a brief address. A great demonstration greeted Mr. McCombs' declaration: "The elephant is dead, the moose Is dead, long live the American eagle."

J. Bruce Kremer, secretary of the national committee, then read the formal call for the convention.

When Chairman McCombs announced the temporary officers of the convention selected by- the national committee, former Gov. Martin H. Glynn, of New York, temporary chairman, was cheered. The full list of temporary officers was read and approved.

Gov. Glynn's declarations upon Americanism and that "the policy of the .administration as to neutrality is as American as the American flag" were given a prolonged demonstration.

When Mr. .Glynn predicted the reelection of President Wilson the delegates rose enmasse and cheered, waving flags and whistled shrilly.

Glynn pounded his gavel, trying to silence the throng, but soon the floor was again a sea of flags.

Governor Glynn,, laughing, vainly tried to quiet the delegates but they were determined to have it out, the uproar alternately rising and ebbing. Further attempts to stop the demonstration were answered by renewed cheering.

The crowd got entirely out of hand but police1 prevented a general procession by sending the delegates to their sections.

When the demonstration had been going on fifteen minutes appeals were made to delegates to take their seats

and let the speaker go on. They were answered by more noise. Finally, after sixteen minutes, quiet was restored and Mr. Glynn went on.

Welcomes Progressives,.

"We welcome the pent up Americanism of the real progressives individually to our ranks, offering them a haven in principle. Their leader has aoandoned them with crass cruelty. "This, is a crucial hour in the history 'of the world. It is an hour when every man should take stock of himself and his pi-inciples. This is an hour when every one should see whether in his inner consciousness he squares with the ideals of 1776,. and the latter periods of dramatic episode, when this country resolutely maintained peacg with honor. "The democratic party in the face of scandalous and vicious attacms nas maintained this great American ideal. While for peace, it has steadily and surely worked for sound and powerful preparedness. It has maintained a solemn, calm dignity in the face of circumstances which might have drawn it into the vortex of a world destruction. Though villified by selfseekers, it has maintained friendly relations throughout the world it has been true to the spirit of America it has been true to the great principles of Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Jackson it has allowed no selfish interest to blind it to the fundamentals of its faith and the country has found that its confidence has been well bestowed.
