OFFIClLSFi Washington Receives Word That Demonstrations Are Seen Along Border —Need Trucks. Washington. D. C„ June 12.—Admin* /stration officials were uneasy today over continued reports of anti-Ameri can demonstrations in northern Mex ico. Americans fearing serious riots are making their way to the border in great numbers and those seeking to return to Mexico are advised against such action by border agents, acting under orders. Most demonstrations have gone no further than mass meetings and speeches by agitators, who resent the presence of American troops on Mexi can soil. Carranza troops have sought usually to disperse such gatherings. Officials fear public opinion may flare into open rioting directed against American citizens although no fear is felt for the safety of General Pershing’s forces. In the states of Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi and Nuevo Leon, anti-American demonstrations have been particularly numerous and attacks on American property were reported from Chihua hua and Monterey where there are no consular agents. —♦— NEED TRUCKS. Washington. D. C., June 12.—More motor trucks are needed by the Ameri can force in Mexico especially, will be supplied. General Funston reported today to the war department that bad roads and continual use of trucks in hauling supplies had caused a number to break down. The rainy season, now starting, makes ample transportation facilities urgent, he explained. More than 300 trucks and about 100 other motor vehicles are now with the American expeditionary forces, army officials declared. General Funston did not state the exact number of those which have broken down. —♦— THREAT BY CARRANZA. Columbus. N.

HOSTILE DEMONSTRATIONS CONTINUE ALONG BORDER Washington, June 12.—Anti-Ameri can demonstrations in northern Mex ico continue, according to official ad vices today, particularly in the states of Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi and Nuevo Leon, and, although the mani festations thus far have been confined mostly to speechmaking, consular agents have reported that the temper of the people appears such that any eventualities might be possible. Americans are leaving for the border in steadily increasing numbers. Under previous instructions, state department agents in Mexico are giving every pos sible aid. In addition, border agents have been instructed to urge those seeking to return to Mexico to stay on the American side of the border for the present. Army officials have no fear for the safety of the American expedition. It is so closely concentrated as to be fully able to defend itself in any emergency and also to lend protection to a wide stretch of the border. No new troop dispositions were in progress, Secretary Baker said, and General Funston's re ports have been of a routine character for several days past. The spread of the anti-American agi tation may delay the sending of a re ply to General Carranza’s note demand ing recall of the American troops. Crea tiop of an international commission to discuss all difficulties is known to have been suggested under existing treaties, and it is understood that the proposal still is before President Wilson.

The importance of this convention to country and party can not be overestimated in Its gravity. However, if there be fears, there are also hopes. Within our ranks there are conflicting opinions, conscientious ly cherished and honestly defended, but they may all be generously tolerated without sacrificing any of the essential principles of the party. Let us search for grounds of cohesion rather than for causes of dissension. “Who can most certainly enlist the earnest cooperation of all those who deeply believe that these principles should be speedily crystallized Into the law of tlie land? The judicious answer to this inquiry will be discovered in your dispassionate selection of the man who is most acceptable to all the forces of progress and enlightenment and righteousness upon which republican supremacy must alw’ays depend. We offer you a statesman familiar with the past, acquainted with the present, fore armed for the future. Of approved ability, of seasoned experience, of un blemished character, he is unexcelled in his equipment for the presidential office.

Throughout his extended and versatile career he has never hesitated to espouse the right no matter how sorely beleaguered, nor to attack the wrong no matter how strongly intrenched. Without patron- | age, without publicity bureaus, without electioneering contrivances, his candi dacy lias gradually advanced in the ap probation of the country because he is acknowledged to be fit and worthy and available. Thrice governor of the im perial Hawkeye commonwealth, and thrice invested with her commission to the senate of the United States, his testimonials are a private life that Is Irreproachable, and a public service dedicated to the welfare of his fellow men.

Henry Allen, of Kansas, urged adop tion of the plank which he said has designed to “conserve humanity." James R. Garfield differed with Allen, not, as he said, because he did not be lieve in prohibition, but because its appearance in the platform would make prohibition the main issue in the cam paign and not be to the best Interests of the party. Takes Time. “The liquor question,” he said, “is one that must be solved by the slow tedious process of education. This party should not make prohibition an issue in this campaign unless we are willing to for get all other issues.

Fetrograd. June 12. (via London, 8:30 p. m.)-—Five days of furious offensive by the forces of General Brussiloff has has crumpled their opponent’s lines from the Kovel-Sarny railway line to [he Bukowina, driving them back an average of 15 miles. In the Lutsk section the Russians ap pear to have completely broken through, turning the left flank of the Austrian armies and the right flank of the German forces and capturing Lutsk, the center of a number of radiat ing roads and railways. At several points the attacking Russians have crossed the Ikwa and Styr rivers and farther south they are approaching the Stripa river. The victories are attributed largely to the avalanche of gun fire, which Ewept away dozens of lines of entangle ments and opened the way for the troops, who swept through tn irresist ible numbers. In some places the Rus sian harrier cut off large Austrian units which surrendered. This accounts for the large number of prisoners officially reported cap tured. The operations began in the vicinity of Olyka, where skirmishing has been frequently lately. Both sides appeared to have been feeling for atfweek spot in their opponent's line. The Russian ad vance from this point, which is 25 miles from Lutsk was accomplished in two and one-half days. During the long period of inactivity the Austrians constructed strong forti fications in this sestion. The topography of the country also formed strong na tural defenses. Military observers regard the opera tion as an extraordinarily brilliant achievement and emphasize the able leadership of General Brussiloff who conducted the Carpathian campaign and made a record for prisoners, guns and munitions captured.
