DEPUTIES IN DISORDER
Vote of Confidence in Government
Pasted After Landing of Troops
of Allies in Salonikl Has
Been Explained.
ATHENS, via London, Oct. 5. After
Premier Venizelos had explained to the
Jhamber of Deputies the circumstances
connected with the landing of allied
troops at Salonikl, the Chamber today
passed a vote of confidence in the gov
ernment. The vote was 142 to 102,
with 13 members not voting.
Plain speaking characterized the
meeting.
1'remier Venizelos accused the oppo
sition press of "selling its honor to
German propagandists." Representa
tives of the opposition journals who
were In the press gallery, directly in
front of the Premier, arose and at
tempted to file out In protest.
Opposition Journalists HI ned.
They were prevented from leaving
"by a crowd which massed behind press
boxes and were compelled to stand
there, the target of hisses and catcalls
from the crowded galleries and the
floor of the chamber.
Premier Venizelos won a triumph,
notwithstanding the most- determined
sit tacks of the opposition, which pro
tested against occupation of Greek ter
ritory by foreign troops. The Premier
did not hesitate to accept the challenge,
lie gave a frank exposition of the at
titude of the government.
"Some time has passed since the en
tente powers have made requests of
Greece." lie said in reply to ah inter
pellation on the occupation of Salonikl.
"Today they ask nothing but - this
they who offer Serbia, Greece's ally,
succor it. the event of circumstances
which would require Greece herself,
under her alliance, to give Serbia help.
Keepinff of Treaty Ursred.
"Great nations may with impunity
treat treaties as scraps of paper. For
smaller countries such a policy would
be suicidal."
The wildest disorder broke out. The
Premier succeeded in dominating the
situation, his voice rising above the
tumult. He cried:
"We have a treaty with Serbia. If
we are honest we will leave nothing
undone to insure its fulfillment in let
ter and spirit. Only if we are rogues
may we find excuses to avoid our obligations."
were so -damaged that we were obliged
to crawl on all fours. I went ahead
amid uninterrupted cracklmgs. the
bursting of grenades, the explosion of
shells, the whistling of bullets, the
howling of shells fragments and fogs
of smoke. By holding my breath behind
my respirator I got to a point where
a trench had been repaired 35 times.
"I signaled for our batteries, which
resume a rapid fire. Then 1 creep back
to get my telephone operators. It takes
me four hours to cover the ground
which ordinarily could have been
covered 'in 25 minutes.
"This is becoming frightful. An ex
plosion throws me against a wall of a
trench. A lieutenant tells me a shell
struck in his shelter also. The French
keep on firing into the fire. How I
hate them!
"How I admire the French artillery!
They are the master gunners; We can
not imitate them, I regret to say.
"God knows what they have blown
up now. From this moment, I have
lost all sensation, of fear."
REGULATION PLAN GIVEN
CONGRESSIONAL CONTROL OF IN
SURANCE ADVOCATED.
Chance From Varied Rale of States
Would Benefit Policr-Holdera,
Say Senator Sherman.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 5. An amend
ment to the Federal Constitution so as
to give Congress the power to regulate
insurance companies and projects was
proposed today to the World's Insur
ance Congress by Lawrence Y. Sher
man, United States Senator fi"om
Illinois.
Senator Sherman poined out that un
der the present system the companies
are regulated by 48 sets of statutes
enacted by the Legislatures of the
various states; that taxation under
this system is burdensome in many
instances and that policy-holders re
siding in any given state must help pay
the levies enforced on the companies
in some distant sections of the country.
"Many millions of policy-holders are
your constituents," he told his au
dience. Let your policy-holders under
stand that every tax increases their
premiums. Let their concentrated
power be employed legitimately to the
end that State Legislatures and Con
gress may not increase the cost of in
surance under the short-sighted policy
of raising further revenues in excess
of property tax from life insurance.
"The hundreds of millions of invest
ments that safeguard life insurance
contracts, the many hundreds of mil
lions of policies carried, the vast
responsibility entailed are without a
single regulation of Government of the
United States. It is proper now to
institute a movement so to amend the
Federal Constitution as to give Con
gress such power. Let it be done in
telligently and in the name of Justice."

The original idea of taking Triest
seems to have been abandoned by the
Italians. According to reports from the
Italian headquarters, the plan now is
that when Gorizia, with its entrenched
camp, which is one of the most form
idable natural fortifications in exist
ence, is taken, the Italians will con
tinue their advance along the Carso
high plateau, leaving Triest on their
right and cat off from the remainder
of the Austrian empire.
This operation is contemplated with
a view to preventing the Austrians
from destroying Triest by bombarding
it from the mountains and the sea.

LILLE, France. Oct. 2. by courier via
London, Oct, o. In view of the tre
mendous preparation, the amount of
ammunition used and the number of
troops employed in the great attack
along the front of less than 20 miles,
from La Bassee to a point south of
Arras, the Anglo-French gains are not
considered to have been important.
The most Important British gain was
to the south of La Bassee Canal, in as
easterly and southeasterly direction.
where the Germans were thrown back
from two-thirds of a mile to nearly
two miles along a front from a mile
to a mile and a half and two miles In
extent.
British Numbers Superior.
This was a British attack and was
declared to have been carried out by
five divisions against four infantry
regiments and one battalion of sharp-
hooters.
In addition to their principal gains,
the French succeeded in taking some
round to the northeast of Arras, near
Beaurains. south of Arras and at one
or two points farther south. Beaurains,
which was utterly destroyed, is still
part of the German lines.
Along this entire front, as In Cham
pagne, the attack was preceded by a
terrible artillery fire, which began Sep
tember 24 and increased steadily in in
tensity until the morning of the 25th,
when the attack began.
British Use Gaa and Smoke.
Before attacking the British sent
alternate waves of asphyxiating gas
and dense smoke across the field, first
releasing the gas for about 10 minutes
and then the smoke for a slightly
horter time and repeating this pro
eriure several times. It was impossible
o see a tree 20 feet distant through
the smoke clouds.
