NO CONVENTION ADVICE Why is W. J. Bryan in town? Where did he come from and whither is he going? He said he was here for a few hours "between "trains" but wquld not vouchsafe the nature of bis present errand' - it t suggcsicu that ppssibly his mission is to iron out the trouble between the Jacks and the Jims. Mrs, Bryan came up from Lincoln on a 5 o'clock tram to bring her hus band a package of mail and copies of the latest "Commoner. "Do you intend to take ,an. active part in the forthcoming democratic state convention?" was asked Mr. Bryan, to which he replied:' "I do not care to advise the state convention. The wets carried the primary and upon them rests the responsibility of writing the plat form and laying out the lines of the campaign." , -Then he dictated the following statement: ' "I expert the prohibition amend ment to be carried by a considerable majority., According to the vote in the Drimarv. measured bv the way the vote was divided on the gubernatorial candidates, the drys have a majority of about 24,000, with . two-thirds of the vote polled. That ought to give us at least 35,000 on the total vote, as a larger percentage 'of the city-wet vote was polled at the primary than of the dry vote in the country.. The majority ought to be considerably more than 25,000. V Refers to Party Record. "I think the prospects of our na tional ticket are improving daily. The splendid record . commended at the national convention has been stilt fur ther enlarged by the passage of the rural credits law and by the appro priation for good roads, and it is quite certain the shipping bill will be passed before adjournment Several other measures are also likely to pass. It is going to be very hard for the republicans to attack this record and their attack upon the president's Mexican policy has perceptibly weak ened since the threat of war, which has awakened the people to a realiza tion of what intervention would real ly mean. "The republicans will not only fail in their .effort to attack the demo cratic position, but before the cam paign is over they will be on the de fensive in several respects, especially in respect to the plank demanding the exclusive federal control of rail roads. They demand a constitutional amendment; if necessary, to complete the railroad program, which contem plates the surrender by the state's of all power and authority over the railroads" ' ' .3 Greek Officers Who -V Attack Editor Are Fired from Army Saloniki.

Former Governor Sutzer of New York did not appear before the convention as an 'aspirant for the prohibition nom ination for president.

The naval bill still was before. the senate today, an attack by Senator La Follette on the measure having delayed a vote yesterday.

When engines stop the lights will go out and the ai. will stop. That is what the men fear. They talk of it continually while with me at night and they ask everyone to pray for them."

Gold Reserve Washington;-July 20. A general European attack upon America's un precedented gold reserve and foreign trade at the close "f the war is pre dicted in a statement submitted to the house judiciary committee today by the national foreign trade council, urging passage of the Webb bill to permit American combinations in the export trade. . Pointing out that the present en ormous export business is due large ly to an abnormal war demand, the council says the liberty to co-operate, which rivals and customers of Ameri can firms have enjoyed, has produced highly organized selling agencies and that the United States cannot hold its position in the world 'of business if European industrial and government co-operation against American com petition is to continue. The judiciary committee concluded hearings today on the Webb- bill. El cott H. Goodwin, general secretary of the chamber of commerce of the United States, submitted the results of the referendum of the chamber ap proving export combinations. Thousands of Extra Cars Will Be Needed to Move Troops in Case of War Chicago, July 20. In order to move the maximum number of troops -on short notice the railroads of the country must have 6,750 more cars permanently at the cell of the War department, according to W. J. Black, passenger traffic manager ' of the Santa Fe railroad, in a statement here today.- Such- an increase, he said, would allow the movement of 11750, 000 troops within forty-eight hours. The railroads, Mr. Black says, now have a surplus of about 8,000 passen ger cars. With fifty men to a car these would accommodate 400,000. In cluding 2,500 sleeping cars of all kinds, 87,500 additional, or a total of 487,500 men could be transported at one time without disturbing commer cial business. , Mr. Black declares that if all pas senger and sleeping cars in the United States were used at once 1,750,000 troops could be transported, but it would be impracticable to abandon all commercial trains, even in time of war. At least 50 per cent of the nor mal traffic would have to be main tained. On that basis, he said, avail able equipment would enable Ameri can railways to move only 500,000 troops in forty-eight hours, thence the increase in cars necessary if it were desired to move the largest contin gents, i GERMAN POSTS Oil BOTH BANKS OF SOU FALL French War Office' Reports Capture of Teuton Trenches During Series of Night Attacks. ..'
