LONDON, Oct. 12.—The Italians again Rave taken the offensive against the Austrians in their endeavor to reach Triest, Austria's chief port on the Adri- atic, and at several points south and southeast of Gorizia have made good progress and in addition taken nearly 6000 prisoners. South of Gorizia the Austrian line was broken between Tobar and Vertoiba, ac- cording to Rome, and on the Carso front entrenchments between the Vipacco River and Hill 208 were captured. Here the town of Noavilla and a strong posi- tion around the northern part of the hill fell into the hands of the attackers. Trenches in the Trentino region alsv have been won by the Italians and 536 Austrians made prisoners. Rome’s report on this advance says: “On the Julian front yesterday there Was an intense artillery duel which in the morning was hindered by fogs. In the afternoon our infantry made a de- termined attack east of Vertoebizza and broke the enemy's line between Tobar and Vertoiba, capturing 860 prisoners, including 25 officers, and also three ma- chine guns. “On the Carso, after the intricate de- fenses of the enemy had been destroyed by artillery and trench mortar fire, our infantry captured almost the whole of the line composed of several successive entrenchments between the Vipacco Riv- er and Hill 208 and advanced beyond it. Novavilla and the adjoining strong po- sition around the northern part of Hill 908 also fell into our hands after brisk fighting. War Munitions Taken, “Prisoners to the. number of 50%, in- cluding 164 officers, have been reported and also a large quantity of arms and ammunition.” The following description of the Italian success has been telegraphed to the Petit Parisien by its war cor- respondent on the Italfan front: “Our artillery began to concentrate its fire on, the morning of the 8th on the zone between Vertoiba and the sea, favored intermittently by the sun. All calibers engaged in a grand concert, and thein fire swept the Aus- trian position yard by vard, grow- ing gradually more intense. Bombardment Continued. “On the next day, the 9th, the bom- bafdment continued unabated. Pa- trols which were sent out to recon- gertto> reported splendid results, par- ticularly where the Austrians were most strongly established in the space between Qppacchiasella and Hill 77, east of Monfalcone. Here the ‘Austrian line was the strangest sight. They used the walls of gardens, cop- ings of wells and natural caverns of rock. The line descends from Hill °08 to the north as far as a mile east road from Oppacchtasella to Jamiano. The enemy had made sev- ern! series of trenches facing in ev- ery direction, which made the defense of the position easy. Two of the most important positions were the triangular redoubt and another posi- tion called Fortino, which were fur- nished with machine guns and pro- tected by formidable artillery. It was against this part of the front that the Italian artillery was directed yester- day with magnificent results. The correspondent adds: “I followed the battle yesterday morn- ing from a central point between Nova- vas and Villanova. It was a fantastic sight. The Austrian trenches were con- into heaps of rubbish by the big ich shot columns of smoke and 900 feet into the air. At 10:30 re- t though the trenches entanglements had been were hidden in ¥ ng its climax at 1:90. A colleague, Was present in several wars, de- ventinned on Page 2, Columa ¢ cent.

I., Oct. 12.—Although Capt. Hans Rose of the U-53 was in this port only a few hours, he is said to have found time to call with two of his crew upon Mrs. Noah Thompson, whose husband keeps a little variety store at 703 Thames street. Her husband said last night: ‘‘Yes, it is true that Capt. Rose called on my wife. I was in Middletown. He called because Mrs. Thompson is a German and !s constantly in touch with that country. She has 42 nephews in the war, and we have frequently sent to- bacco and other articles to them. One has been captured by the Russians and is in a Siberian prison. All the others are still alive.”’ “How is it that Capt. Rose knew where to find Mrs. Thompson and came direct to the house without trouble?’ was asked of him. *‘Mrs. Thompson,” the husband replied, “is from a prominent family in Ger- many, and she is well known in Ger- many.” Mrs. Thompson’s maiden name was Wilhelmina Christina Henrietta Schell, and she came from Schleswig-Holstein. M'DANIEL WILL HOLD OFFI DURING TRIAL FOR MURDER Prosecutor Will Not Be Removed Un- . less He Is Convicted of Slaying Wife. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Oct. 12.—Judge Thomas F. Ryan of the Criminal! Court. announced today that Oscar D. McDan- fel, indicted on a charge of murdering his wife, will not be suspended as Prose- cuting Attorney of Buchanan County pending trial. Judge Ryan said that McDaniel will be suspended if he is con- victed at his trial, Oct. 18. McDaniel, released from jail yesterday on $650,000 bonds, last. night opened his campaign for re-election as Prosecuting Attorney of Buchanan County. Speaking at a political meeting ina schoolhouse, the prosecutor asked his hearers to withhold judgment and to presume him innocent, as the law does, until his case is settled. He said that if given the opportunity he would be able before election to prove that he is innocent of the crime charged against him. He was in jail three weeks. His trial has been set for Oct. 18.

FEW EXCEPTIONS MADE, English and Canadian Divisions of Sect Send Greetings to the Delegates. The divorce question, paramount issue in the present general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, will be placed before the convention at this aft- ernoon’s session in Moolah Temple, when the report of the joint commission ap- pointed at the last convention, three years ago, to deal with this subject, was presented. The discussion of this matter in the House of Bishops and the Hiouse of Deputies is expected to con- tinue several days. The commission in its reports recom- mends that the convention enact a canon, or church law, forbidding any minister of the church to perform the rnarriage ceremony for any person who has a husband or wife still living, who has been divorced for any cause arising after marriage. The present canon on this subject permits the marriage of the ‘innocent party’’ to a divorce proceed- ing. In any case where a divorce has been granted for causes arising before mar- riage, and is in fact merely an annul- ment of the marriage, the proposed new canon provides that special! consideration may be given by the Bishop of the diocese to the facts of the case and that the court’s decree and record shal] be among the facts considered. Would Have Bishop Decide. The commission further recommends that the question of admitting te the sacraments of the church persons who have entered on a marriage not in ac- cord with the church law shall be con- sidered on the individual merits of each case by the Bishop of the diocese, whose decision shall be final. The commission adopted. its. report at 4 meeting held in New York Nov, 10 lust. Bishop Joseph B. Cheshire of Ra- leigh, N. C., is chairman and the other members are the Bishops of Vermont, Lexington, Ky., Chicago and Long Island, from the clergy, the Rev. Messrs. Wrigley, Mclivaine, Leffingwell, Marquis and Parks: and from the laity, Everett v. Wheeler, Edward C. Niles, “rederic Morehouse, Leigh R. Watts and Charles E. Shepherd. Bishop Lewis W. Burton of Lexington dissented from the main conclusion of the report and so stated over his signa- ture at the end'‘of the report, where the others signed in approval. The ground of his objection was not indicated. The Rev. C. W. Leffingwell of Pasedena, Cal., dissented from a minor conclu- sion in the report, which was that the convention sheculd not pronounce any ovinion on the relative desirability of State and Federal! legislation on the sub- sect of marriage and divorce. The commission also reported that there could be no international law on marriage and divorce between the United States and Great Britain, as had been suggested in one paragraph of the resolution under which the commission was appointed. Decides Against Protest. Another part of the report bore on the “‘ne temere’”’ decree of the late Pope Pius X, which has been inter-- preted as declaring invalid the mar- riage of a Roman Catholic with a person of another faith, unless’ the ceremony is performed by a priest of the Roman Catholic church, under the conditions imposed by the church for mixed marriages. Some Episco- palians had favored a protest against paper in St Louls that receives or publisnes news gathered bv the Associated Press.

A LUNCHEON Gov. Ralston heads Committee Which Greets Him at Sta- tion—Crowds Cheer. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 12.—Speak- ing at a good roads celebration here to- day, President Wilson urged the need of a united nation. He declared that good roads are very tmportant in knit- ting the people and the country togeth- er. He addressed a crowd of approxi- mately 10,000 persons in the Coliseum at the State Fair Grounds, after attend- ing a lunch given by Gov. Ralton of Indiana and reviewing an automobile parade. Pleased With Applause. The President declared at the lunch- eon that when he heard the kind of ap- plause given him in Indianapolis today he believed that the peofle approved his interpretation of the spirit of the peo- ple. After saying he was interested in particular in the national feeling of the United States, Wilson smilingly declared that he knew the Republicans present were as good Americans as he, and that after fighting for a few more weeks, both parties would work for the common good of the nation. The President arrived at 11:30 and was met at the station by a cheering crowd. He was escorted by a band and a guard of mounted and foot police from the railroad station to a hotel. The side- walks were lined with people and, as the hotel was neared, the hand-clapping and applause grew in volume. The band followed Wilson. The Reception Com- mittee which met the President was headed by Gov. Ralston. Across the street at several points were banners praising the President for keeping the country at peace. Following his arrival.at the hotel the President and Mrs. Wiison were tmmedi- ately escotred to a suite.of rooms. A special committee received Mrs. Wilson. The automobile parade, celebrating the centennial highway day, was started by the booming of a cannon immediately after a luncheon given by Gov. Ralston in honor of the President. Motorists from all parts of Indiana participated in the parade. After the review of the parade, the President motored to the State Fair Grounds over a route chosen in advance so that the crowds could see him. President Wilson was greeted by crowds of cheering people at Dayton, O., and Richmond, Ind., as he passed through this morning en route to In- dianapolis. He refused to make political speeches but at Dayton declared it did his heart good to receive such welcomes. Leaning over the observation platform of his private car at Dayton the Presi- dent was almost mobbed by a good- natured crowd of several thousand peo- ple who sought to shake hands with him. Sometimes four or: five people had hold of each of his hands at one time. In the usual! shouts from the crowd the railway eight-hour law was most fre- quently mentioned. The train to which the President's car was attached backed into a crowd at Richmond and several persons nearly hwere caught under the President’s car. John Q. Slye, a secret service man, pulled one woman out of the way just in time. When urged to speak at Richmond, the President said: “I am not making speeches but it is mighty fine to see you. It makes my heart warm to have you come out and greet me in this way.” Seeing that most of the crowd were workingmen, Mr. Wilson added: ‘I am a hard working man myself.”’ At Greenfield, Ind., a band came hur- rying down a street just as the Presi- dent's train pulled out. It did not have time to play. Wilson shook hands with the people as rapidly as possible ‘and waved to them as the train left.

AMSTERDAM, Holland, Oct. 12.—A Vienna dispatch; says that the Depart- ment for the Regulation of Austria’s Food Supply, establishment of which was decided upon last month, has been organized in the Ministry of the Inte- rior under the presidency of Chevalier von Keller. The food department will not ofily provide and distribute suitable food- stuffs, but will supervise prices. SHOCKS RESTORE LOST SPEECH One Soldier Recets . Short Change, Another Falle Down Stairs. LONDON, Oct. 12.—Recoveries of the power of speech, lost on the war front, in éurprising ways, continue to be re- ported.

AMBASSADOR AND MBS. GERARD. PUBLIC OFFICES CLOSE FOR COLUMBUS DAY Widest Observance Is by Knights of Columbus, Who Have Elaborate Program. Columbus Day, in observance of ery of America is being celebrated fn St. Louis today. State and city offices, with the exception of the Circult Court, ares closed. Parochial schools are closed, and the public schools, while remaining open, devoted a part of the day to appropriate ceremonies. The widest observance of the day is being made by the Knights of Colum- bus, a Catholic organization, which began its exercises at 7:30 a. m. by decorating the Columbus statue in Tower Grove Park. Francis R. Low- ther, head of the St. Louis Chapter, Knights of Columbus, spoke on the life and achievements of the discov- erer of America. The Columbus Choral Club gave a song program. Preceding the ceremonies at the statue there was a parade of the unl- form ranks of the Knights of Colum- bus, the Choral Clut and the Colum- bian Boy Scouts. At noon high mass was celebrated at the Old Cathedral, Third and Walnut streets, during which there was a sacred choral by the Knights of Columbus choir. Memorial Tablet Unveiled. Later Archbishop Glennon accepted and formally unveiled a memorial tablet presented by the Knights of Columbia, and Walter B. Douglas, representing the Missouri Historical Society, delivered an address. The tablet, in bronze, is 28x36 inches. It was placed on the Walnut street wall of the Old Cathedral. The text of its inscription follows: The Old Cathedral Church and Church of St. Louis of France, On this spot was celebrated the first mass in St. Louis, A. D. 1764. A log church was erected and blessed on June 24, 1770. The cornerstone of a second church was blessed by the Rt.. Rev. Louis G. Dubourg, Bishop of New Orleans, La., March 29, 1818, and the church was consecrated March 25, 1824, by the Rt. Rev. Joseph Rosati, Bishop of Tena- gra, I. P. I. In 1827 the Diocese of St. Louls was erected and the cornerstone of this Cathedral Church was placed Aug. 1, 1831, and the building solemnly conse- crated Oct. 26, 1834, Rt. Rev.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORKu, Oct. 12.—Not until . nours after the publication by the New York World ang the Post-Dispatch that the big purpose of Ambassador werard’s visit to this country was to report on the menace to our relations with Ger many, lying in the probability of the resumption of a ruthless U-boat warfare by the Kaiser’s navy, did the Ambassaa- dor utter a “diplomatic denial’’ of th xt statement, which previously had beer. given complete although indirect confir- mation. Mr. Gerard was induced to make the Cenial late yesterday afternoon, because it was feared in Washington that the frankness with which the World and Post-Dispatch had treated the matter might create resentment and embarrass- ment in Germany if it were given too much of an official sanction. The Post-Dispatch can say that the danger of the submarine situation, as outlined in its columns, was the high point in the discussion Mr. Gerard had with Secretary’ of State Lansing on Tuesday, which was repeated later t» the President at Shadow Lawn. Even before Secretary Lansing had received the Ambassador’s report, tho news from Berlin had apprised the Ser- retary of the true state of affairs, which had been carefully suppressed f»- the last three months by a rigid polit- ical censorship. As the Post-Dispatch previously said, Mr. Gerard did not come home for a vacation, although he hag not had one for three years. He came only because Washington deemed it wise to have him report in person on the perplexing ques- tions that remain unsettled betwee. the two countries, and even when in- structions came for him to return he was loath to leave Berlin at the tim». He had planned to remain in America 't was said that he would stay perhap. two months. “You may say that it is not true that I came home at this time to serve notice on the President of Germany’s inten- tion to repudiate her pledges regarding the conduct of submarine warfare, or that Germany was contemplating the re- sumption of submarine attacks upon ali kinds of shipping. “I say to you, what Bb said to a reporter for the Berliner Tageblatt at Copenha- gen before I sailed: ‘I should not think of leaving my post at this time if I were not convinced t.iat the relations between my country and Germany were as friendly as they could be and gave every promise of continuing so indefinitely." ”’ 19 MEXICANS INDICTED FOR MURDER IN RAID ON COLUMBUS Men Heid by U. 5S. Army at Colonia Dublan Accused of Being in Villa’s Band. DEMING, N. M., Oct. 12.~Nineteen Mexicans who are being held by the army authorities at Colonia Dublan, Mexico, for alleged connection with the Villa raid on Columbus, N. M, March 9, have been indicted by the Luna Coun- ty grand jury, it became known early today. All are charged with murder. Because officers with the expedition can not absent thernselves to attend court now, the prisoners will not be tried at this term, but held at field headquarters. Seven Mexicans already have been convicted here on similar charges, six of them being hanged and the sentence of one ‘commuted by Gov. imprisonment. ——_—— = GOES IN Tht LEAD Pfeffer Pit-hes for National League Champions and Sh re for the American3;s—Co!umbus Day Crowd Like’y to Break Attendance Record For the Series. | SCORE BY INNINGS, 1 te Re 5 6G 7 BROOKLYN 0/1) 0/0;'0 OO [.
