By E. C. HILL.
(Sun News Service.)
St. Louis, June IL-Two emotions agi
tate the minds of Democratic leaders as
sembling here for their party's national
cInvention-anger over Col. Roosevelt's
apparent refusal to help them re-elect the
President, and fear that their conven
tion proceeding are going to be so tame
as to have a bad effect on the country.
Their attitude toward the Colonel is all
the more amusing in that it is so in
tensely serlous. Their present indlgna
t on on this failure to run. true to form
iu revelation of how much they had
co.nted on him. Harsher words have
never been hurled at the Colonel in all
of his combative career than are now
treounding in the lobby of the Hotel
Jefferson. the general headquarters. As
matters stand, he has distinctly disap
pointed the Democratic party.
Great Shock to Leaders.
It is entirely plain that the outcome of
the conventions at Chicago was a shock
to Senator Taggart, of Indiana; Norman
E. Mack, of New York. and Roger Sulli
van, of Illinois, the three national com
" mitteemen who are arranging the con
vention preliminaries, and who epitom
ize the sentiments of their colleagues.
They had hoped that somebody besides
Hughes would be selected to run against
Wilson. or, if it had to be Hughes, that
the Colonel would instantly.accept a Bull
Moose nomination and roll up a few mil
lion votes, enough. anyway, to insure
Wilson's re-election. They assert that
Wilson will be re-elected even if the
Colonel does return to the G. 0. P. at
the head of the Eastern Progressives.
but they admit that things at Chicago
couldn't have turned out worse from their
standpoint.
And now, contemplating their own big
show, which will open next Wednesday
at noon in the Coliseum, they are gen
uinely distressed because there doesn't
seem to be material anywhere for even
a lively argument, let alone a good old
fashioned shindy of the sort that Demo
cratic conventions have staged in the
past (at Baltimore four years ago, for
example) and that are supposed to put
fighting spirit in the workers when the
campaign starts.

Petrograd. June I1.-The Russians in
Volhynta and Galicia have torn two huge
rents in the Austrian front and inflicted;
a loss in men so heavy that it must be
counted a long step toward the victorious
termination of the war.
In some parts of the battle line the Aus
trians were driven back in such disorder
that they were compelled to abandon
large numbers of wounded men. Thous
ands of prisoners were rounded up by the
cavalry which had got into the Austrian
lines of communication. Whole regiments
are said to have surrendered en masse.
The number of slain probably reached)
very large proportions, in consequence of
the thoroughness of the Russian artillery
preparations.
Some sections of trenches are said to
have been transformed Into a mush of I

splintered beams, mixed with mutilated
corpses and fragments of flesh. At such
point not a defender was left who had
enough life to offer any resistance.
The Russians charged over heaps of
dead foes. The most moderate estimate
of the enemy's losses is 15,0.0w)o, and some
estimates make It two-thirds greater. At
the minimum computation the Austrians
have lost at least a quarter of the total
force they had on this front.

St. Louis, Mo., June IL-Norman E.
Mack, Democratic national committee
man for New York. today attacked the
position of Justice Hughes in his state
ment of acceptance and put several ques
tions to the Republican nominee.
Here are Mack's questions to Justice
Hughes
"What would you do differently"'
"How would -u run things better than
President Wlson has done'" "Mr.
Hughes." Mack continues, "says that he
'stands for an Americanism that knows
no ulterior purpose, for a patriotism that
Is single and complete.' but Mr. HIshes,
on the other hand, was the pet candidate
of those who put their nativity before
their Americanism."
"Were these elements mistaken when
they denounced President Wilson and ap
proved the candidacy of Justice Hughes.
"Which is his sincere attitude-his ai
lence when these elements were booming
him for the nomination or his avowal of
ccmplete patriotism now that the ncm:
nation has been achieved'
"What does he imply or charge when!
he says that he stands for 'an American
ism that knows no ulterior purpose"
"Whom does he accuse of u'terior pur
poses?
"Is he hitting at Presider '!sor or
at ex-President Roosevelt" W-at wo.'d
Mr. Hughes do to maintain the nghts o.
American citizens that the Presid"^.t has
not done"
"Would he declare war on Gerrany or
England or both?
"Would he intervene in Mexico"
