LAWLESS PRACTICE DENIED No Concession of Principle of X1- verting Ships to Give Censor Jurisdiction Is Indicated in British-French Note. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. Identical memoranda from the British and French governments replying to the American protest against seizures of neutral mails were delivered today to the State Department by the embassies here. The text was not made public, but the allies are understood to give renewed promises that every effort will be made to minimize delay and annoyance caused by examination, but to insist on certain legal rights in regard to mails which the United States has denied. The principal complaint of the Amer ican Government has been based on the contention that many vessels have been diverted from the high seas into British ports In order to give the British cen sors jurisdiction. There Is no indica tion that the new memorandum makes any concession of principle on that point. Reply is made in the memorandum to the American note of May 24 character izing the allies" treatment of mails as a "lawless practice1' and saying that "only a radical change in the present British and French policy restoring the United States to its full rights as a neutral power will satisfy the Govern ment." Objection Not Right, Is View. The allies say that as the United States admits the right of censorship for purely war purposes, it cannot rightfully object to reasonable delays Inevitable to that censorship. The new communication is the sec ond to come from the allies in the mails controversy which began January 4, with the United States entering a vigorous protest against "unwarranted Interference with inviolable mail," which was regarded as "vexatlouBly in- quisitorial." The allies replied February 15, cit ing numerous cases where contraband .had been shipped to Germany by parcel post and stating that parcel post there fore must be considered not as mail, bu as ordinary merchandise. It was promised, however, that the allies would "refrain on the high seas from seizing letter mail." On Way 24 the United States replied" by complaining vigorously against the allies' method of applying this prin ciple and by declaring the allied gov ernments had proceeded "to deprive neutral governments of the benefits of these assurances," by forcing vessels off their course into British ports to gain "illegal jurisdiction." Further Complaint Prepared. '' Officials of the State Department had become impatient at the long delay of the allies in answering the note of May 24. While awaiting the reply the department has been gathering infor mation from American business men and diplomatic agents and is under stood to be in a position to make fur ther complaint. Unofficial explanations of the delay have attributed it largely to the desire that certain changes in censorship methods, such as the plac ing of shipping papers in special marked packages in order to expedite them through the censors' office, be given a working trial. It is believed attention is called to these changes in the new memorandum. American of ficials have carefully refrained from expressing any opinion as to what ef fect these measures would have on-the attitude of the American Government. It is expected that the text of the allied communication will be made pub lic later by agreement between the governments concerned. The State Department has been ad vised that the British reply to . the American blacklist protest soon will be delivered here. There has been no in dication as to its contents.

ARTILLERY FIRE EFFECTIVE Description of Three-Day Battle in Which Anstrians Were Routed Is Given Infantry Dash Carries All Before It. ROME, via London, Oct. 12. Addl-1 tional prisoners have been taken by the, Italians in i their offensive on the Carso plateau, bringing the total captured on the front of the Julian Alps from Au gust 6 to date to a total of 30,881, the War Office announced today. PARIS, Oct. 12. The following de scription of the recent Italian success on the Carso has been telegraphed to the Petit Parisien by its war corre spondent on the Italian 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 their fire swept the Austrian posi tion yard by yard, growing gradually more intense. Bombardment Is Unabated. "On the next day, the 9th, the bom bardment continued unabated. Patrols which were sent out to reconnoiter re ported splendid results, particularly where the Austrians were most strong ly established in the space between Op passhiasella and Hill 77, east of Mon falcone. Here the Austrian line was the strangest sight. They used the walls of gardens, copings of wells and natural caverns of rock. The line de scends from Hill 208 to the north as far as a mile east of the road from Oppacchiasella to Jamiano. The enemy had made several series of trenches facing in every direction which .made the defense of the position easy. Two of the most important positions were the triangular redoubt and another position 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. Foe Awaits. In Caves. "I followed the battle yesterday morning from a central point between Nohavas and Villanova. It was a fan tastic sight. The Austrian trenches were converted into heaps of rubble by the big shells which shot columns of smoke and dust 300 feet in the air. At 10:30 reports came that though the trenches and barbed wire entangle ments had been wiped out the enemy were hidden in caves awaiting the in fantry attack. The artillery opened afresh on the second and third Aus trian lines, the bombardment reaching its climax at 1:30. A colleague, who was present In several wars, declared he had never seen such a spectacle of destruction. "The Infantry attacked at 2:60 with splendid dash and the triangular re doubt and Fortino fell after a desperate struggle. The enemy went down every where before the Italians, notwith standing a stubborn resistance. After a few hours' fighting at JNovavas, thousand prisoners were taken, among whom all Austrian nationalities were represented. We obtained proof that far from withdrawing troops, the Aus trians had sent several fresh battalions to reinforce the defenders of the Carso." GERMAN FRONT IS BENT Allies Force Big Extension of Lines in France. LONDON. Oct. 12. The objects of the British advance in France were outlined to the Associated Press today by Major-General F. B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the War Office. The General emphasized as one of the principal purposes al ready gained that "the British push ing into the German lines has extended the fighting iront by a length of 20, 000 yards, so that if stationary trench fighting were resumed the Germans TALIS mAKE GAIN Woevre there was reciprocal artillery activity. On the rest of the front the night passed in comparative quiet. "One of the air squadrons last night bombarded the railway station in Vigneulles with observable results." . British in France. LONDON, Oct. 12. Official announce ment of operations in France today Is as follows: ' "South of he Ancre there Is nothing to report. In'the night five raids were undertaken by us In the Messines, Bois Grenier and Haisnes areas, - in the course of which we took prisoners and inflicted casualties on the enemy." Thursday's 'War Moves ANOTHER step forward in their quest of Trieste has been made by Italians south of Gorizia, additional points of vantage having been captured and 1771 men made prisoner. In this region, which is about 16 miles- northwest of Trieste, and in the Julian Alps, to the east, the Italians from -August 6 to the present report that they have captured 30,881 Aus trians. On the Carso Plateau heavy Austrian' attacks have been repulsed. . Along the entire Eastern Transyl vanian front the Roumanians are in re treat, and in the north also are begin ning to fall back before the troops or the Teutonic allies, according to Ber lin. Bucharest says, however, that at tacks at various points on their north ern and northwestern fronts have been repelled. British troops have reached the out skirts of Seres in Greek Macedonia, having driven In their opponents from the outlying districts. London reports the town Is strongly held by the Teutons. Westward the village of Brod, which lies in Serbia southeast of Monastir, has been cap-tured-by the Serbians. Both Berlin and Sofia report the repulse of attacks along the Cerna River and on both sides of the Vardar. That the British have gained some additional ground north of Thiepval. south of the Ancre River In France, and on the Sars-Gueudecourt line Is announced in the Berlin official com munication, which says the British at tacks here failed, "for the most part" before the German curtain of fire. West of Sailly-Saillisel the French have made another advance. South of the Somme violent artillery duels are in progress, especially be tween Genermont and Chaulnes. In the town of Ablalncourt the Germans and French are engaged in hand-to-hand fighting. would have that much increased front age to defend." General Maurice was surrounded by maps showing in minute detail the to pography of the Country and positions of the troops at the different stages of the advance since the beginning of July. "As we get on our difficulties get less and less," he remarked, pointing out that the country thus far gained was hilly and strongly defended and that the British had now reached the lower rolling lands. Whereas the po sitions captured were Intricate systems of defense, he said, the British now confront a single line of trenches. "They (the .Germans) are hard at work making another line here," he went on. Indicating a line drawn on the map behind the present battle front, "When we get there they will be work ing on yet another line back here. Our work is to get ahead of their digging. "We have never proceeded faster than we could with safety. Proof of that is that we have never been pushed back. We do not expect to maintain our recent rate of progress uniformly. From time to time we strike harder ground." ACCOUNTING- IS ASKED WINTERS ESTATES SAID TO HAVE BEEX BUSMAN AG ED. Agnes Mutts Hecker, Administratrix, Accused of Maladministration of Property. Gross maladministration of theJ.'OO,- 000 estate of the late H. D. Winters is charged against Agnes Butts Hecker in a petition of heirs for an account ing and the surrender of real property, filed with the County Court yesterday. County Judge Cleeton set the hearing for November 20. Willful negligence in the supervision of the estate and the appropriation of estate moneys for her own use are accusations against Mrs. Hecker made by Thomas J. Winters, Polly Forbes, Pauline A. Jennings Anna M. Dillon and A. c. Winters, petitioning heirs. The estate is that to which a deed. later branded a forgery, was presented by Will A. Purdy in a suit for posses sion which was thrown out of court by Circuit Judge McGinn. Mr. Winters died June 20. 1911.

GERr.lANS DIVIDED Oil SUBMARINE USE Budget Committee Reports to Reichstag and Predicts Victory for Teutons. PEACE PROPOSALS HINTED Members of Government Told That Suffering Is Greater In Enemy's Countries and Retention of ' Captured -Territory Urged. BERLIN. Oct. 11. via London. Oct 18. The most notable Incident at the opening of the day's Reichstag session was supplied by Major Ernst Basser- man. leader of the National Liberals, in his report from the budget com mittee, that, although It had been un able to reach a decision on the sub marine question, it had voted, 24 to 4, against a discussion of the subject in open session. Herr Basserman ran through a short report of the general international sit uation, emphasizing particularly tire entente's pressure on neutral powers and its efforts to force Greece into the war, in connection with which he ex pressed admiration for the attitude of King Constantine. He then read the committee's recommendations: "The committee occupied itself with a thorough discussion of the question of submarine warfare," the report read. the members of all parties and the representatives of the government par ticipating. All the naval, technical. military, economical and political as pects were thoroughly investigated and weighed. The deliberations were con ducted under the Impression of the high importance of the question, strict ly upon the merits of the case and with a general desire to serve the Interests of the fatherland. Committee Unable to Decide. "An agreement could not be reached in the committee, which therefore, re frained from making a decision. The committee recommends that the Reich stag in its deliberations abstain from a discussion, of submarine warfaVe. "It bases this attitude upon the standpoint that a thorough discussion of the naval, technical, military, eco nomic and political details is Impossi ble without injury to the interests of the fatherland, but, on the other hand, that without such thorough discussion the subject could not be completely cleared up." Major Bassermann expressed his con fidence that the firm will of the Ger man nation would bring the war to a victorious end and "subdue the hostile spirit of the British government and the British people." The speaker pleaded for the aboli tion of the censorship. He said the com mittee had received the impression that the military situation everywhere was satisfactory and hopeful. Rnuia Blamed for War. Herr Naumann. the Radical leader. alluded to the causes of the war, in sisting that the only means of averting resort to arms would have been direct communication between Vienna and St. Petersburg, which was rendered impos sible by the continuation of the Rus sian mobilization. Great Britain had been able to prevent this, as she recognized the dangers underlying this mobiliza tion as was shown by the warnings of Ambassador Buchanan to Foreign Min ister Sasonoff. She ought to have fol lowed the example furnished by the German Chancellor, declared the speaker, when on July 30. 1914, he de clared to Vienna: "We refuse to let ourselves be drawn into a world war because our allies disregard our suggestions." Phlllpp Schneidemann, the Socialist leader, pointed out the vitality of the German nation as shown in the present war. criticised the censorship and con demned the measures taken by the authorities for the distribution of food. The Socialist .leader then discussed the peace problem and the objects of the war. Socialists for Pence. "Chances for peace today are poor." Herr Scheidemann declared. "Since Briand and Lloyd George preached war until the bitter end, the chancellor is unable to talk of peace. But we are free to do so. The nations want peace. If the contrary be said in any coun try, then it is absolutely untrue. The French nation is kept ignorant by censorial prohlbiiton or the fact that it could s-e its country as well as Belgium still free today of Oer man troops without shedding one more drop of blood and without losing one more square foot of soil. What do these nations still fight for? That the French shall stay in France, that the Belgians shall stay in Belgium, that the Germans shall stay in Germany. This is the main basis upon which the coming peace will be constructed. WOMEN END SESSION DELEGATES AGREE SEASIDE CON". VENTIOX BEST EVER HELD.

Many women suffer from a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which does not yield to ordinary treatment- While tho symptoms are similar to those of ordi-' riary indigestion, yet tho medicines usually prescribed do not restore the) patient's normal condition. There seems to be a kind of dyspepsia caused by derangement of the female organism. While this appears to be tha same as ordinary indigestion it can be relieved only by a medicine which, be sides acting as a stomach tonic, is good for female ailments. Read what such a medicine did for Mrs. Williams : She says: "Before I began taking; Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Com pound I was trou bled with dyspepsia and bearing down pains in my back and sides, and after my meals my stom ach would bloat up till I could scarcely get my breath. At times I was so weak I could hardly stand on my feet and I looked hollow-eyed and my skin was yellow. Now I have a good color, have gained in every way and can do my work without any pains. I think it is the best medicine on earth for stomach troubles of wo men." Mrs. Nexus Williams. 31 West 3d Street, New Albany, lnd.
