CHEERLESS SOUTH DISMAYS CANDIDAT
Hughes Mad As A
Hatter With Frost
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 5.—It is an
open secret that Hughes is as mad
as a hatter. His meetings through
out the south have been such a
frost that he is real angry and
blames the management. He de
clares that he himself had advised
against any trip through the route
planned by the campaign managers,
but had been induced to give In
and he says that the fizzle in the
south will have a reaction of some
far reaching extent in the north. He
especially blames the management
for arranging his address for Labor
Day in Nashville, when he peeved
the laborites by refusing to talk
when they asked him not to talk
politics.
HUNTINGTON,, West Va., Sept.
5.—While Hughes is kicking like a
steer at his bum receptions, Wilson
gave to newspapers and public the
happy remark that he is now re
ceiving the finest receptions he ever
got in his whole career. At least
that is what he told the thousands
who came to greet him and who are
making his trip a triumphal tour.
Wilson is on his way to Atlantic
City where he has accepted the in
vitation of the suffragists to ad
dress them.
NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Hughes
has dropped in the betting in the
presidential race, Wilson being now
even money and Hughes five to four.
Hughes southern trip has been a
candidate-killer.
HINDENBERG SAW GERMANS
RETIRE ON WESTERN FRONT
PARIS, Sept. 5.—All the German
counters in an effort to regain the
ground lost on Sunday have been
unsuccessful along the Somme where
the fighting is still fierce with the
Franco- British forces still making
gains.
Marshal von Hindenberg arrived
# on the western front on Saturday
and is urging a more stubborn re
sistance upon the part of the Ger
mans to the British forces. Hinden
berg says they must not give way,
but must hold out to the last. He
personally witnessed the retirement
of the German before the joint at
tack of the British and French
troops.
LONDON, Sept. 5.—The Allies
are now bombarding with a great
intensity the entire German front
with the evident intention of later
making another drive.
News correspondents report that
the British are building auxiliary
railroads as they advance along
the front for the transporati6n of
guns, men and shells. Thousands of
reserve troops are actively engaged
in the work, which is all a part of
the Haig system of fighting. The
weather for the past two days has
been one continual and torrential
downpour throughout the western
lines, and for that reason there have
been few infantry attacks since
yesterday.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 5.—
The Senate today adopted dractic
amendments to the revenue bill
hitting at the Allied nations black
list and the British interference
-with mails. The- amendment places
at the disposal of the executive for
internal and exernal enforcement ot
retaliatory measures against those
engaged in a commercial warfare
against the United States, the entire
army and navy forces.
The amendment is very far reach
ing in word and fact and reaches
practically non-intercourse with the
nations which persist in the prac
tices complained cV. Far reaching
consequences are certain, and it is
not impossible a commercial war ot
enormous-dimensions,-the-result of

The Chamberlain amendment
bonding halibut shipped through
Canadian territory was adopted.
This is to restore the trade to Se
attle and American railroads. An
other important amendment which
carried after some considerable de
bate was the enlarging of the pow
ers of the traffic commission. The
revenue bill is being licked iijto
shape, but some of its features are
expected to be held up in conference
lacking the House approval. The
evident desire to conclude business
is helping some of these amend
ments to pass.
UNIONISTS ME ENJOINED
FEDERAL JUDGE, SEATTLE
SEATTLE, Sept.. 5.—Judge Net
terer today enjoined the Longshore
men’s union from in any way hamp
ering the work of the Alaska Steam
ship Co. thereby delaying United
States mail. The longshoremen are
subjected to a sweeping restraining
order which prevents them doing
anything which might approach the
possible unionization of the water
front.
It is apparent that the tact that
mails are carried by the company
is used as a means of preventing
the longshoremen from carrying out
their strike against the company.
Longshoremen take it philosophical
ly. The fact that the company has
to appeal for aid to the courts is
proof that things were not running
as smoothly as they claimed.
THOUSAND CREEK ARMY
RESERVISTS HELD BACK
ATHENS. Sept, 6.—One thousand
Greeks who were trying to make
their get-away to New York were
held up here by the government.
They were army reservists who fear
that the proximity of active fighting
may embroil them. The situation
today is still far from cleared but
Venizelos is practically dictator of
the situation and war upon Bulgaria
is only a matter of getting the
troops mobilized and the material
ready. The Allies are In full con

British Fight A fternoon
Battle Making Gains
LONDON, Sept. 5.—Picked Ger
man corps under the eyes of von
Hindenberg were massed to resist
the impending attacks of the British
and French following the terrific
bombardment of the morning.
The result was a bitter battle
fought in driving rain with the Brit
ish advancing fifteen hundred yards
east of Guillemont, granting the
British possession of the entire se
cond line of trench defenses from
Moquette to the junction with the
French lines.
PARIS, Sept. 5.—The night com
munique says that the British are
holding every inch of ground gain
ed today and on Sunday. The Ger
man counters were unsuccessful and
the losses heavy. The French lines
are advancing around Givenchy
where the fighting is again heavy
The fighting is incessant and con
tinues.
LONDON, Sept. 5.—Another air
ship raid was made today and prov
ed a failure. ■ Jt was one of the
most ineffective raids so far con
ducted by the Zeppelins, mainly be
cause of the morning being clear.
Three of the Zeppelins were
wrecked, the rest drifted southwards
across the straits. The wind was
unfavorable to the Zeppelin which
may account for the big loss.
HUGHES STRIKES POLITICAL
SNAG IN SOLID SOUTH
LOUISVILLE, Ky„ Sept. 5.—
Charles E. Hughes now knows what
is the meaning of the expression
“Solid South”. Today he felt the
brunt of it with all its force as a
few unenthusiastic onlookers
heard his platform speech which
the nows correspondents labol
“Number five”. The press report
ers with Hughes say that he has
just five set speeches, one empha
sizing the need for executive effici
ency, another the urgency of a
greater Americanism, a third the at
tack upon Wilson’s foreign policy,
a fourth an attack upon Wilson's
domestic and Mexican policy and
the fifth the republican platform
and the need of a tariff. In each
of these the other topics also enter,
but emphasis is placed upon the
particular topic chosen in one of the
five set speeches. Today he con
tinued his attacks upon the admi
nistration, boosted the need of a
tariff and promised salvation
through republicanism. Hughes is
disappointed in the South but bears
it good humoredly. Today to friends
he remarked himself, that it was
“pretty solid”. His reception to
day was almost chilling in the gen
eral indifference wfth which he was
greeted. Many who heard him
were frank and unapplauding demo
crats.
His reception today is a marked
contrast to that which was extended
to Wilson.
RUMANIANS HALTED AND
HACKED ALL TO PIECES
SOFIA, Sept. 5.—The Bulgars
entered ten miles into Rumania
capturing two villages. The Ruma
nians have so far offered no resist
ance. The Bulgars are extacting
tolls for the support of the armies
from the Rumanian non-combatants.
BERLIN, Sept. 5.—The both wings
of the Rumanian armies have been
halted by the Teutons and Bulgars.

too demoralizing to admit of resist

BUCHAREST, Sept. 5.—The Ru
manian advance is continuing. The
occupation of Hermanstadt has
given the forces a tremendous
quantity of war supplies which the
Austrians in their hurried retreat
failed to destroy. The Austrians
have been endeavoring to halt the
advance beyond Ostrova but in vain.
PETROGRAD, Sept. 5.—The Rus

south surrounded and sabered a
strong force of Bulgarians prepar
ing to advance in the Dobrudja re

ing taken by the Slavy who are bit
