ally today. .n,.hough some points

meet formally until this full
understanding has been reached.
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 30. That Tur
key is making desperate efforts to
secure peace terms that will,-not be
altogether adverse Is indicated in a
Constantinople dispatch this even
ing, stating that -le Ottoman gov
ernment, under peace negotiations,
has Invited the allied fleet to enter
the Dardanelles. It is further given
out, that a small Body of entcnt
troops will prooably be landed in
Turkey to supervise the demobiliza
tion of the Turkish army. The United
States not having declared a state of
war with Turkey, will probably have
no voice in the peace negotiations
with that nation.

(By Associated Press.) 1 ;
ASSOCIATED PRESS WAR LEAD.
Oct. 30. One year ago the Italian
armies were streaming westward
from the Isonzo river and a gigantic
military disaster was Imminent, uiii
within the twelve months the tables
have been completely turned and to
day Italy s army, stronger and better
than ever, with Britlsn and French
divisions righting with them, and a
strong United States lorce in reserve,
which will be thrown Into the con
flict at the crucial moment, aro pour
ing througn what appears to be a,
breach in the Austin lines east oi
the Plave river. In this great battk
the allies have already taken mort
t,.an twenty thousand prisoners be-
sTr.es inflicting terrible punishmen,
upon the enemy. Reports from tilt
Italian front Indicate that Austrian
reslBtence nas weakened immeasur
ably following the allies' first rush,
and it now looks as if the enemy de
fenses will soon be entirely crushed
along the center of the battle line.
Since yesterday the allies' sweep
eastward nas gainea remarkable mo
mentum, and it seems probable that
the next few days may see the whole
Austriuna army-now rron'tlng. th& P1-.
ave river turned about and In disor
dered retreat toward Tagliamento.
Farther to the north and west the
allies are reporteu to be advancing.
In tne vicinity of Valenciennes, foi
the time a, least, British troops have
been checkea. Neither do the allies
appear to be altogether successful In
Dreaking through the German lines
defending Ghent.
Internal conaitions in Germany,
however, appear to be rapidly
situation is even worse, with rioting
reported at Budapest, in which many
were killed. In Germany a financial
panic is sweeping the country, and
depositors of banks, beueving that
tne war Is terminating disastrously
and securities thereby rendered val
ueless, are said to be storming banks
in an endeavor to withdraw their
funds.

Sneaking of rain, the young soldier
states that over there it rains mucin

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 29.
More thaii 32,000 pint bottles ol
whisky, besides several barrels, and
hundreds of quart bottles of the high
proof liquor lert here this week for
Washington, where the motor trans
port corps or the United States army
will take It over for fuel: purposes.
This whisky is only a part of that
seized since Utah adopted prohibi
tion, and approximates the amount
seized by Chief; of. Police J.- Parley
White of this city.' About 2000 gul
lons already have been destroyed.
Chief White was within fifteen
minutes of being in contempt of court
for having failed to destroy this
liquor, when he received orders from
Washington to dcnat-urlze the supply
and ship it to the motor transport
corps. The court had ordered the'
syhlsky poured Into the city sowers,
but the chief, after trying to per
suade the government hospital au
thorities to' take It off his hands,
finally persuaded, through Senator
Smoot, the transport corps to make
use of it. .. i .
Smuggling of liquor Into Utah 1b
on the wane, Chief White declares.
Tills is due to several causes, chief
of which is the fact, that the supply
of"whtsky Is decreasing.. ; The pro
hibition of (ilstilllng and importing
and the fact that the consumption
In 'wet" states has not decreased
has made the efforts of the whisky
smuggled unprofitable, or has 'at
least cut the profit to a minimum
and not worth the risk taken, Chief
White said. . ,
A considerable amount of whisky
was brought Into Utah rroin Monta
na points during the first few months
or prohibition, but very little nas
been brought in lately at least none
from that source has been seized
Montana will "go dry"' at the end
of the year. Of all the whisky
brought Into Utah illegitimately
about three-quarters has come from
Evnnston, Wyoming, according to
Chief White. Some has come from
Elv and Ellto. Nevada, in automo
biles and some even from Califor
nia. '
The biggest seizure contained'
S.800 nlnt bottles. One lot of five
crntes, shipped from Elko, Nevada,
went from the freight depot here
straight to tho police station. The
consignee never has called for his
freight for fear of arrest. Ingenious
methods have been used by the
smugglers. Use of spare automo
bile tires has been frequent, but not
frequently successful. Some of tho
seized shipments came packed In
Olives and some In sauerkraut.
CANCEL ORDERS FOR
That a majority of Roseburg mer
chants are determined not to offer
any article for sale that was not
manufactured! by a firm auove sus
picion for Its loyalty. Is indicated
in the action of several, concerns
here lately, who cancelled orders for
products of the AlberB Brothers'
Mills. Following the arrest of Hen
ry AlberB, presiuent of the Albers
Urns. Milling UO-. oi t'orLiami, lur
alleged seditious rouiarks while
travel ng on an a. P. Co. train ne-
tween Grants Pass and Roseburg
recently, a great deal of opposition
to the firm has developed In this
rnuntv. .Many retail merchants,
who have heretofore handled large
quantities of Albers' products, vo
luntarily stated that they could not
buy another dollars worth of the
Company. Some dealers who had
orders already placed for mill pro
ducts with Albers immediately can
celled their orders. Among this lat
ter class was Mr. HutchlnB, of the
Model Bakory, who refused to ac
cept a consignment of flour reach
ing here after he had expressly can
celled the order. J. M. Judd, dealer
In feed, etc., Is another Roseburg
man who says that no pro-Hun stuff
i-nn't be calmed off on him, and can
celled his order. That some of Al
bers Bros, manufactured products
are being handled here, however.
was today discovered to be a fact,
when a car of feed, etc., bearing the
stamp of Albers Bros, on the sacks,
was unloaded tor the local market,
Roseourg is not tffe only place
that hits t'iuen up In arms over the
Albers incident, but dealers in Eu
gene, Albany, ana at places to the
south, have openly stated that they
will never buy another dollars worth
of the milling company, whose stock
Is largely owned by the Albers Bro
thers, natives ot Germany. It is al
leged' that though Henry-Albers, the
president, has resigned, it is nc
proof that he 1b a good American
and innocent, as a statement of the
firm avers, therefore in order to
steer clear of in any degree aiding
and abetting the enemy, these many
people say, they will not Bell Albers

HUN AERIAL RAIDS
Enemy Has All It Can Possibly
Do to Watch Points
Close Home.
GERMAN BASES BOMBED
Allied Air Fleets Dally .Dropping
- Hundreds . of Tons of Explo
sives on German Towns Al
lies Hold Air Supremacy.
UONDOHj Oct. 4. (Correspond
ence of The Associated Press, ) For
four months. London., hag., enjoyed
Immunity from hostile air-raids, and
moonlight nights are no longer- so
dreaded by Its Inhabitants. For
many weekB merman airmen have
had far more1 urgent business to at
tend to on the other side of the
channel. Much of this is due to the
persistent iraidlnn of Rhine towns
and the bombing of . German aero
dromes. These attacks compel the
enemy to muster for their defense
machines, which they can very well
spare from the battlefields where
Allied supremacy In the air becomes
Increasingly manifest. ...
The freauent raids on German
towns have been fully recorded but
the growing frequency of attacks pn
German aerodromes nave receiveu
much lesB attention.- From Informa
tion obtained from the War Min
istry It Is learned that In the month
of AugUBt alone tnere were iniriy
three attacks on German -aerodro
mes, nineteen of which were directed
against two of them which had be
come particularly obnoxious as hives
of aerial waspB.
In one daylight raid on an aero
drome a rlerce combat lasted over
forty minutes, as a result or which
four Gorman machines were destroy
ed and three others driven- oown
"out of control". Two British ma
chines were lost. ' .
Monv of the nleht raids have been
very effective. Over one aerodrome
five tons of bombs were dropped,
seven direct hits on hangare were
made and a fire was started. On
another raid eight tons of bombr
rirnnned and several hangare
completely burnt out, and the aero
drome covered wnn large miiw
whloh effectually spoiled' It for land-
intr mirnnnefl.
The effect of these' attacks Is to
cripple the efficacy of the Germans'
aggressive work and their power ol
retaliation and demoralize their per
sonnel, their recuperative powers
are new at ft low ebb.

, . . Big Orders . Planned. '
PARIS; Oct; 18.-lfBv Mail.1! Half
a dollar will keep an American sol
dier in Prance supplied with all the
athletic material which he will need .
in mis. - Tnis doesn't seem possiblo
when you realize that a single base
ball costs fl.26 and a fair glove, it
to 6.. Yet this is the estimate made
bV the Uhvalcal, trAlnimr llonarlinui,
of the American Y. M. C, A. and the
figures are based on experience.
Of course this does not mean that
everjt soldier in the American Bxpe-
dltlonary, v'orce can be sur.Dlled with
a complete Individual outfit for every
spon mat ne may rancy: It would
take a billion dollars to make this
possible, it does mean, however,
that the Red Triangle will be pre
pared to furnish the parapharnalla
to any! sroup of men wanting to play
any athletic game. ' ; , . ,
The overseas department of the Y.
M. C. A. expects' to spend close to -a
million and a half dollars for ath
letic equipment to be used between
January 1, and December 31, 1919.
This Is a staggering sum, but it does
not seem nearly so big when you
consider that the mliftary authori
ties estimate that the United States '
will have upward-of three million
ihen" In 'France' berore the' end of
next year. In- fact, it is little to
cover as much ground as must be
covered . . ,
Present estimates are based on the-
belief that It will ta.ee JuBt about
twice as much money to buy ath lotto
supplies for the A. E. F. In 1919 as
it took in' 1918. It is impossible at ,
this time to give an exact statement
or the expenditures for the present
year, but they probably will exeed
S700.U00. The figures that the Hodi
Triangle has prepared to call for un -expendlturo
of $1,419,600 for Bport-
Ing goods in 1919, and the actual
outlay will bo more rather than less
than thlB Bum. i
BaBeball naturely will receive most
attention, ' It couldn't be otherwise
where American soldiers are gather-,
ed together. There are plenty of
other good games in the world hut
there Is nothing exactly like base
ball. The Yanks are playing it on
every level piece of ground in France.
It will cost the Y; M. C. A. more
than $700,000 to supply baseball
goods "alone next year, or practically
as much as It spent ior all kinds of
athletic supplies In 1918.
Estimates call for 369,000 balls,
which will cost $1 each. ThlB eats
up more than half ot the budget
allotted to the national pastime.
Then there must be 7,000 dozen
bats, 6,000 masks, 8400 catcher's
mitts and the same number of pro
tectors. Shin guardB, now regarded!
ns a desirable part of the .sartorial
equipment of every backstop, are not
to be furnished -Soldiers shins are
tough. '
For the first-baseman, -there will
be 0,300 mitts, and for the fielders,
42,000 finger gloves. This may seem
like a lot ot gloves but when yon
consider the size of the army that
will be supplied, it doesn't loom up
so formidably. The little item of
canvas bases is an 'Interesting one. -There
will be 840 sets of these, or
3.100 sacks, Including the home
Plates. It would take "Ty" Cobb at
his host more than 38 years to steal
thorn all, even if they let aim pllfor
first bnso, which Is not now consider
ed good form.
There la going to be a lot of "rot
ten" umpiring In France In 1919
evidently, for 7,000 umplre'e Indicat
ors are Included In the list of sup
plies. As every umpire Is a bad one,
If you believe the players, the (Induc
tion is perfectly Blmple that there
will be numerous "bum decisions"
before snow flies a year from this
fall. To. make life a trifle easier
for the umnlres, howover, there Is an
order for 7,000 rule bookB, so that
the pastlmers moy acquaint them
selves with the fine points or the
game and not kick" when the arbiters
happen to be right, If such a thing
may be consloored within tho range
of possibilities.

Saturday for Corvallis where sho will
