LONDON, Aug. 23.—On the Aus-
tro-Italian front where Generai Ca-
dorna's troops under the eyes of King
Victor Kmmanuel are pushing all along
the entire front of attack, the entente's
concerted offensive has somewhat
slackened in the last twenty-four
hours. A pause has set in on the
western front, necessitated by consoli-
dating actions and the bringing up of
guns and supplies to the newly con-
quered positions.
Nevertheless, a brilliant piece of
local work was done by Manitoba
troops southwest of Lens, adding still
further to the British menace to the
queen city of France's richest coal
district.
The buttle of Lena having finally dis-
entangled tin* big fortress, is ended, for
tlui time being, at least. The Italians have
taken more than 1(1,000 prisoners slu-e
Sunday, the French nearly 8,(XX) since Mon-
day.
Intense Interest Is now centered upon
the German drive on IUgu. l'etrograd ad-
mitted today a further withdrawal. Her-
Hu claims occupation of n new line "with-
out fighting." Whether new disorganiza-
tion among the Russian troops or the in-
tensity of the Germun fire were responsi-
ble Is still uncertain. The German advance,
however, coincides with alarming reports
from l'etrograd regarding new political
ami economic chaos. In Home quarters
here alixlety is felt, In others optimism an.l
faith In Russia's elasticity homing firm.
Major General F. It. Maurice, director of
military operations, was one of those who
today warned against undue alar%i, ex-
pressing confidence that the Russian crista
will be weathered.
lie said .'12,500 Germans had been taken
prisoners in the west *0 far, and predicted
that by the end of the month the figure
of 40,000 representing prisoners taken by
the Teutons in the east In a month will be
exceeded by the entente.
These were the outstanding developmnts
on Jill fronts during the last twenty four
hours:
Russia: A considerable degree of vague-
ness marks the official and unofficial news
concerning the new German drive on the
northern Hp of the Russian battle line.
Enough has filtered through, however, to
show that the Teuton operations now under
way is to clear the way for a frontal or
rear attack 011 IUga by sweeping the Rus-
sian forces out of the whole swamp dis-
trict along the Baltic between Raggasem
and the mouth of the Dwlnu.
In this effort the Teutons already have
been successful to the extent of five'or six
inlles since the inception of their drive
yesterday. l'etrograd admitted officially
today that the Russians yielded to the
German pressure, retiring from the Rag-

WASHINGTON, D. <\, Aug. 2.1.—Inter-
national police to guard the world against
Prussian military autocracy" was urged
today In a speech by Senator Owen of
Oklahoma.
lie said: "My proposal Is an Immediate
International convention of all belligerent
and neutral nations to establish an Inter-
national government with legislative, ex-
ecutive and Judicial powers and an army
and navy to enforce the rights of member
tuitions to crush Prussian militarism.
"Some man has said, 'This Is Utopia '
whose powers might be used agaiust the
military autocracy.
"The time has come for the 1 nlted
States to use every energy to organize the
powers of the whole world In suppressing
the Teutonic autocracy and Its conspiracy
to real mankind by force and terrorism."
he said. "In this organization, neverthe-
less. the world should give assurance that
It does not wish to crush the Teutonic
people or require of them more than abso-
lute justice demands In the ways of re-
storing territory wrongfully seized or
destroyed."
without organized effort, said Senator
Owen, seventeen of the forty four nations
iv|ui euictl at The Hague already had de-
represent three fourths of the people of the
world. Six other nations have severed
diplomatic relations and three or more are
about to do so.

"The fact that Pope tlenedlct proposes

and apparently with the approval of tlie

Effc " j Get Vote on Charges Separately Fails.
Anti-Ferguson Majority Grows
as Votes Progress.
BILL TO SENATE TO BE CONSIDERED TODAY
ity AnBociiitod Press.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 23.—By a vote of 82 to 51 the Texas House of Representatives tonight voted
to present to the Senate articles of impeachment against Governor James E. Ferguson.
Representative William Fly, who acted as chairman of the House committee of the whole that in-
vestigated the thirteen charges preferred against t he Governor by Speaker F. O. Fuller, tonight is form-
ing a committee of nine that will draw up the articles of impeachment. This committee will report to
the House as its first business tomorrow morning. The articles as drawn by the committee must be first
passed on by the House before they can go to the Senate, but in view of tonight's vote, legislative leaders
believe they will be adopted with little or no alteration.
In the meantime Governor Ferguson remains in office. Whenever the bill of impeachment is signed
and presented to the Senate, however, he will be au omatically suspended and his place will be taken by
Lieutenant Governor William P. Hobby.
The fight to return a bill of impeachment aga nst Governor Ferguson reached a speedier end than
>vas anticipated. Almost all of today was spent in arguments by opposing counsel, When at 5:10 p. m.
M. M. Crane, counsel for the House, finished the c including argument, Representative William Bledsoe
of Lubbock was on his feet with a resolution that the committee of the whole report back to the House,
recommending the preferment of impeachment charges.
Friends of the Governor were not slow to act.
Representative Tillotson of Austin followed wi th a substitute resolution providing for the considera-
tion of each of the thirteen charges separately, wit h a vote at the end, the committee then to report back
its findings.
Mr. Bledsoe came back with a motion to table the substitute. Parliamentary discussion ensued, but
when the question was put, the motion won out by a vote of 69 to 65.
A motion to order the previous question was then put. More discussion resulted, but Chairman
William Fly held that under the rules there could be no debate, and on the call, the motion carried,
70 to 'A.
Several Representatives Switch
The Bledsoe resolution then wxs put to the ayes and noes. By this time several who had voted with
the Governor on the previous motions saw that iiis opponents were standing firm and switched their
standing. The vote showed 81 for anj 52 against, representing a recommendation for impeachment.
The resolution, which also provided that William Fly. chairman of the committee, should form a
boa;d of manage-"- to draw up impeachment charges, automatically dissolved the investigation. Under a
♦call of the House by Representative Dudley of El Paso the doors were locked
and the House voted an adoption of the report. By this time, those against
the Governor had polled 82 votes. The nays totalled 51.
The House adjourned until morning.
The investigation which ended today had been going on almost three
weeks. Speaker F. O. Fuller first issued a call for a session of the House to
consider injpe»chment late in July.
Governor Ferguson later called the entire Legislature in special session
to consider passage of the university appropriation bills, which he had vetoed.
The Senate took up these bills on August 1, the day of convening, and later
passed them but the House proceeded to the impeachment investigation.
Much of the stir which caused the investigation resulted from the Gov-
ernor's attitude toward the university. He objected to President R. E. Vinson,
as the head of the school, and to certain members of the university. When
the Board of Regents did not oust these men, he appointed other regents,
wniicrnv irnrt win rnvcmro i „ Through an injunction, some of the new regents were unable to act, and
mwubiwv will LUiNSliJfcK Governor Ferguson, claiming that there was corruption and inefficiency in
the school, vetoed the appropriations for its support for the next two years.
He claimed also that the University was fighting him.
"Too many people in this State are going hog wild over higher educa-
tion," he said in exercising his veto.
Other charges against the Governor were that he failed to pay back to
the State, as promised, funds appropriated for incidentals at the mansion, but
spent this money for groceries, meats, vegetables and automobile accessories;
that he violated the banking laws by large loans from the Temple State Bank
in which he was a stockholder; that he deposited State funds in the Temple
Bank for his own benefit; that he misappropriated State funds to pay per-
sonal obligations; that Abilene was incorrectly chosen as the site for the West
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College, but he failed to reconvene thj lo-
cating board, and that he sought to influence Speaker Fuller by a long-
time loan.
Governor Ferguson was investigated by a House committee last March,
but though his conduct was criticised, it was held there was not basis for im-
peachment.
Final House Vote Is 82 to 51
Staff Special to The Kxprcss.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 23.—Governor James E. Ferguson must stand trial
by the Senate on impeachment charges preferred by the House, according to
the vote that was taken this evening in the lower body an the resolution for
the appointment of a committee of nine to draw articles of impeachment. That
vott was 82 ayes and 51 nays.
The impeachment address or articles will be submitted to the House to-
morrow morning, and it is expected that free discussion oil the part of the
members of that body of the different charges will then ensue. It is, of course,
not known at this time what will be embraced in these articles, but it is re-
ported that they may contain charges additional to those contained in the orig-
inal allegations submitted to the House at the beginning of the session, but
which were brought out in the testimony.
There will be a vote taken on the adoption of the articles before the im-
peachment address is filed with the presiding officer of the Senate. There
seems to be no good reason for supposing that the vote will be much differ-
ent from that which was shown today on the adoption of the resolution that
such articles of impeachment be drawn.
What may well be considered as a test vote on the attitude of the mem-
bers on the guilt Of the Governor on all of the charges, was given when
Leonard Tillotson offered a substitute resolution that the committee as a
whole vote upon each charge separately before drafting the impeachment arti-
cles was tabled. This vote was 65 aye's and 69 nays. The same stood on the
previous question shutting off debate. This makes it conclusively a test vote
on every o:.ie of the charges, while it may be said that there are eighty-one
members who believe the Governor is guilty of one or more of the charges.
TEXT OF RESOLUTION.
The impeachment resolution which was offered by W. H. Bledsoe of Lub-
bock, reads as follows:
Bo it resolved by the committee of the whole House that this committee
now rise, report back to the House that it haa heard evidence touching the
charges of official misconduct presented against James E. Ferguson, Governor
of Texas, and this committee ia of the opinion that impeachment charges should
be preferred against him in the Senate of Texas.
He it further resolved that inasmuch as Hon. F. 0. Fuller, Speaker
of the House, made and filed the ehar|[ea upon which the investigation was
based, that the Hon. W. M. Fly, chairman of the committee of the whole
House, appoint a committee of nine to act aa a board of managers to prepare
the articles of impeachment, to present them to the House for their approval
and if adopted, to prefer and present them to the Senate of Texas, in addition
