ive Saved From S. S. Bear
Platform Finally Adopted
and Convention Adjourns
ST. LOUIS, June 16.—The Demo
eratic convention adjourned today
after the platform had been adopt
ed.
Judge Westcott a delegate from
New Jersey yesterday nominated
Wilson about twenty minutes before
eleven o’clock last night and then
the delegates joined in an hour’s de
monstration, the nomination being
unanimous and adopted by acclama
ton.
A few minutes before midnight
Senator Kern nominated Marshal
for Vice President, using just ten
words to do so. He also was nomi
nated by the acclamation and ac
corded an ovation.
After the convention convened
this morning, they began consider
ing and adopting the platform
clause. The suffragists are frankly
disapponted as the democrats leave
the matter of the ballot in the
hands of the states. William Jen
nings Bryan, just before the plat
form was adopted, delivered an
oration supporting Wilson which j
spell bound the delegates. The con- j
vention was Wilson mad from the t
start and the slightest mention ot,
his name caused uproarious and
continuous cheering.
The convention adjourned after
adopting the platform.
The convention was the most
striking in this unanimous respect
that has been held in years. It was
for Wilson and the Wilson policies
first, last and all the time. Thq
much reported German American
opposition was not at any time in
evidence. On the contrary many
German-American delegates declar
ed that in the matter between Wil
on and Hughes they had no poss
ible choice but Wilson.
CZERNOWITZ EVACUATED: THE
AUSTRIAN CENTER HOLDING
PETROGRAD, June 16.—This
«ity Is now celebrating the fall oi
Czernowltz which last night was
evacuated by the Austrian forces.
The Russian drive forward from
Lutsk has now advanced forty
miles, only the center at Tarnopol
holding out against the heavy Rus
sian smash.
PETROGRAD, June 16.—A
heavy forward movement continues
.north of Pinsk with the Germans
Tetiring.
BERLIN, June 16.—General vou
Hindenberg had no trouble in back
ing up the attacks at several poiDls
along his front today. Every Rua
' sian assault was fiercely repulsed.
—
ATHENS, June 16.—It is report
ed that the Bulgarians have with
drawn the majority of their troops
from the Greek to the Rumanian
border. Salonika advices lead one
to have a different impression as
to actual conditions, the Entente
leaders insisting that the Bulgars
are still massed in force along their
lines.
j LONDON, June 16.—The great
Russian forward drive in Galicia
, and Bukwina is still occupying at
I tention. Reports from Bucharest
j indicate that the Russian successes
have had a very serious anti-Teuton
! effect upon that population and
j again the popular demand for a
break with Bulgaria and with the
Central powers is heard. The under
standing however which the Ruma
' nian rulers have with the Central
j Powers precludes the possibility ot
! any action at this time according
i to London opinion as expressed in
| the press.

Coroner Criticizes Action
Captain Launching Boats
EUREKA, June 16.—Captain No-(
pander was severely criticized for
launching the life boats prematurely
when the Boar struck the rocks.
The Bear is now resting safely
and has not budgod from her posi
tion with the hull standing squarely
above the water.
Purser Herwood reports that the
passengers are all safe excepting five
who were drowned when the life1
boat capsized.
The Bear was running in a thick
fog which had lasted for several
days and it is possibly on this ac
count that the accident occurred.
What givc3 point to the coroner's
criticism ie the fact that one life
boat unfortunately capsized almost
immediately after launching, al
though all the others were not dis
turbed by the sea that was then run
ning fairly strong when the Bear
struck.
Evening reports state that the
Bear can be easily salvaged if no
storm breaks upon It in its present
portion. If a gale comes up ana
drives it off the rocks its fate is
doubtful.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.—
Wrecking paraphenalia is being dis
patched to Sugar Loaf Point to
salve the Bear which it is now star
ed is not so seriously damaged and
with little trouble can be tugged
off the rocks and re-floated.

PARIS, June 16.—The G rman
concentration in Flanders continues.
BERLIN, June 16.—An Entente
forward movement is expected in
the west with its maximum antici
pated in the Flanders section where
airmen report the British have been
bringing up reserves for several
weeks.
ROTTERDAM, June 16.—The pur
port of the German Flanders con
centration Is shown In a Berlin dis
patch wherein it is stated that the
Allies are preparing for an offen
sive in that region.
No such intimation can be gained
from dispatches sent out by the
various allied capitals tonight.
The Russian offensive in the east
is making a profound impression
on the people and Berlin papers are
reflecting this even while trying to
make the best of it by be-littling
the importance of the captures.
It is evident however that the
German Staff Intends to spring a
coup to off-set the moral effect of
the Russian victories.
