...complete in detail, but still ready for any emergency. And the same was true even farther back. From a region handicapped by the lack of transportation facilities, it grew to a district interwoven with miniature railway lines. There was not a part of the lines that was not in direct touch with the supply bases in the rear. And then there were the endless columns of motor trucks, guns, troops and more trucks.

Chicago, Ill., June 8.--The spirit of compromise was the key-note of the Convention session this afternoon, and the feature of the official activities was the appointment by Chairman Harding of a committee of five to confer with a similar committee of Progressives for the direct purpose of finding some common grounds for action. Vital importance was attached to this appointment by the delegates...
