POLITICAL POT BEGINS TO BOIL IN INDIANA

Democrats, Republicans and Progressives Prepare to Stir Things Up As Campaign Time Draws Near.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 14.—with both the republican and democratic state committees arranging for the fall campaign In the state, the progressive party leaders are expecting to follow #uit. As the preliminary step, the state convention has been called to be held here July 20 at which, Bainbridge Colby, of New York, will deliver the principal address. On the evening of July 19, delegates to the progressive convention will hold their respective district meetings here. No announcement has been made by Edwin M. Lee, state chairman, as to speakers who likely will come here to espouse the progressive cause.

The republicans and democrats, however, already are busy lining up speakers. With Indiana regarded as being ,the pivotal state, it will not be surprising if both parties center a great deal of effort in the state, and arrange meetings at which President Wilson, Vice -President Marshall, the democratic candidates for re-election, and Charles E. Hughes anil Charles W. Fairbanks, the republican nominees for "".president and vice president, respectively, will speak. Every locality in the state Js said to £e anxious for speaking dates to be arranged for

President Wilson and Mr. Hughes. Among the first of the local meetings scheduled is that of the Eleventh district republicans at Peru on July *22. It will be in the nature of a rally, at which a bean dinner will be served. Henry D. ESstabrook, of New York, who delivered the keynote speech at the republican state convention, is announced as the principal speaker at the afternoon session. In the evening Dr. Charles H. Good, of Huntington, Milton Krause, of Peru, George W. Steele and Mayor J. O. Batchelor, both of Marion, are scheduled to speak. 1 Representative J. A. Adair, of Portland, has been making a number of speeches throughout the state in the past few weeks In the furtherance of bis campaign as the democratic gubernatorial nominee. But what is interesting democratio leaders more than anything else just now is whether U. S. ^Senator Thomas Taggart will stump the sta,te. Conflicting reports are in circulation here, but his close friends

Bay it would not be surprising if he made a number of, speeches. Mr. Taggart is A candidate for the short term senatorial post.

Governor Samuel M. Ralston and other state officials, it is said, will have .full speaking programs arranged for them. John W. Kern, who is the nominee for re-election to the U. S. senate, and Vice President Marshall will have dates in the state. The Indiana Democratic Editorial association, which had i planned to hold its annual summer meeting this month, has postponed the conference until late in August or /early in September, according to Dale •,J. Crittenberger, auditor of state and

Owner of the Anderson Bulletin. The postponement was due to Henry F. Schricker, of Knox, president of the 'association, accompanying the Knox

(.company

of the Indiana troops to the

Mexican border. Mr. Schricker Is a member of the company and the other officers of the editors' organization decided to postpone the conference because of his absence.

Indiana republican leaders would not b© surprised, it is reported, if James A. Hemenway, national committeeman, and former United States senator, is assigned to an important work by the national committee for the fall campaign.

RESUMES NAVAL BILL DEBATE.

^Senate Adopts Amendment Increasing Enlisted Strength, WASHINGTON, July 14.—The senate resumed debate today on the naval appropriation bill, with leaders determined to epepedite its consideration. It ."was plain th« re would be no partisan opposition, and an indication that the i senate is in sympathy with increases written in by the naval committee was pseen in the unopposed adoption of an _. amendment Increasing the navy's enMisted strength to 68,700 men. The present strength Is 54,000.

The- building program probably will ^be reported within a few days. It will develop the only serious opposition the measure Is expected to meet, but leaders are confident the eight capital, ship plan for 1917 and the three year construction policy will be approved.

GREEK KINO'S PALACE BURNED.

Blaze Starting In Forest Csuses Royalty to Flee. LONDON, July 14.—The royal chateau at Tatoi, Greece, occupied as the summer residence of King Constantlne, has been destroyed by fire, says a Reuter dispatch from Athens.

yesterday that they completed capture of the first line in the region between Hardecourt and Ovillers. The direction of the attack, too, was something of a surprise, for instead of pushing on toward Combles, Gen. Haig chose to attack the flank of the Germans who faced Contalmaison and Ovillers and those who still occupy Pozieres. The advance to Longueval and Bazentin-Le-Grand, if accomplished, gives the British possession of other important roads running in various directions, which have been a great help to the Germans in supplying their army directly south of the Ancre river.

London Rejoices.

News of the British success was received in London with the greatest enthusiasm. It was given added weight to the request of the government to workmen to forego the August holidays so that the army may te kept well supplied with munitions. The supplies already on hand must be greater than was generally believed, else Gen. Haig would not have been able to continue his offensive without intermission.

There was no news this morning of Important developments on the remainder of the western front but at last accounts the French were preparing to resume their offensive south of the Somme while the Germans were still hammering at the defenses of Verdun. The opinion is held in France, however, that continuation of the Somme battle will compel the Germans to slacken their efforts at Verdun which now have been in progress nearly five months, especially as the French estimate the Germans lost 12,000 men in counter attacks on Contalmaison.

The Russians have made no noticeable advance on any part of their front since they gained the Stolchod river where the struggle continues desperately The right bank apparently now has been cleared of Germans but it is not known here whether the crossings made by the Russians have given them a firm footing on the left bank. General Von Bothmer, having received reinforcements, has succeeded in holding the Russians in Galicia, but with Delatyn in the hands of the Russians a further advance is expected.

The British advance reported in today's official dispatch apparently constitutes the second phase of the great Anglo-French offensive in the neighborhood of the Somme river which began July 1 over a front of something more than 20 miles. The first phase of this- offensive carried the British forward to and gave them possession

of Contalmaison and Montauban, but the French on their right moved their lines further forward.

The reported capture of Longueval and Bezantin-Le-Grand indicates that the British in today's assault advanced eastward or northward from Contalmaison or Montauban and that they apparently have brought their right wing on a par with the French left and are thrusting a salient between Peronne, the immediate French objective, and Bapume, the point at which the British movement is reported to be directed.

Longueval is about 3^ miles east of Contalmaison and Bezantin-Le-Grand is midway between those towns.

BERLIN'S VERSION.

8ay» Attempts of British and French Were Beaten Back. BERLIN, July 14.—(By wireless to Sayvllle).—New and violent battles are being fought on both sides of the river Somme this morning, say* the official statement given out today by the German army headquarters staff.

Early this morning, the statement says, British troops attacked in the sector of Mametz wood and Longueval, and made repeated efforts to capture Trones wood? The first British attacks were beaten nack, and new battles are now in progress.'

Near the fortress of Souville the French attack was Impeded by a curtain of fire, it is declared, and tfce vicinity of Laufe works the attack was completely repulsed.

Russian forces which had again entered the first line of -the German trenches- defended by troops of Gen. Count Von Bothmer, were ejected with considerable losses ty a counter attack.

FUTURE OF POLAND.

Status Still Unsettled, According to Berlin News Agency. BERLIN, July 14 (via London) That the future disposition of Poland is still unsettled is reported by the Berlin Political News agency, which enjoys excellent official connections and is usually accurately informed. Regarding the case of Poland this agency says: "The future status of Poland belongs undoubtedly to the difficult problems which must be solved before peace is concluded. That portions of that country will not again come under Russian rule is beyond doubt and is assured by the declarations of Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg in the reichstag. But its future organization in the view of public interests of the German empire and Austria-Hungary involves a most difficult question. Both governments are engaged in its solution in joint and friendly efforts but the negotiations are still continuing."

Verdun Attack Maintained. BERLIN, July 14.—(By wireless to Sayvllle).—The offensive of the entente allies on the western front has not caused the withdrawal the Germans of a single man or a single gun from the Verdun front where thet attack on the French fortress is being

claims of victory, it was said the naval fight had lengthened the war by at least twelve months.

Dr. Aked reported to the conference that he found everywhere in Germany the conviction that the German armies cannot be beaten in the field and that the allies cannot exhaust German resources. Money and men seemed to be plentiful, he said, and an American living in Berlin asserted there were hurfdreds of thousands of men trained to the minute who had not been on any firing line. Extremists of the war party were most confident in their military claims. They asserted they had no fear of the English or Russian armies, because of their deficiency in trained officers. "When it comes to the moderate men and the war party," said Dr. Aked, "these mean constant strike. It is really of more importance to the world as to which of these parties shall win in Germany than in the more popular question of who will be victorious in the trenches. If the jingoes win the world will have to deal with a very different Germany, a Germany flushed with victory and uncompromising in her triumph, or else the \yorld must
