THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1916.
ALLIES STAND FIRM
L DISPUTE
Promise to Minimize Delay Re
newed, but Certain Rights
Still Contended.
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.

part before our curtain of fire.
"Toward evening strong attacks
were delivered from the Morval
Bouchavesnes front. They were con
tinued until the early hours of the
morning. '
"The enemy advanced six times
against the positions held by the Sixty-
eighth Infantry regiment and the
Seventy-sixth Reserve Infantry near
Sailly. All of his efforts were fruit
less. Our. positions were maintained.
"South of the Somme, the battle be
tween Genermont and Chaulnes con
tinued. ' Repeated French attacks
were repulsed. The hotly-contested
sugar-refinery at Genermont is in our

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."

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

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. The
following day Mrs. Hecker. then Agnes
Butts, was appointed administratrix
Though more than five years have
passed, she has not yet filed her final
report -and accounting, refusing to
close the estate, soothe petition al
leges, because of the loss of revenue
to herself.
A vigorous protest is made in tho
petition against the allowance to the
administratrix of S100 a month extra
compensation for her services, and of
815,000 for attorney's fees, as asked
in a recent . petition filed by Mrs.
Hecker.
In asking for the return of the real
property, the petitioners allege that
the possession of this property by Mrs
Hecker was never really necessary for
tne administration or the estate or
payment of debts of the deceased. The
debts totaled $2472.55. and the personal
property or Mr. Winters was more
than S2a00. it is asserted.

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.

DYSPEPSIA
OF WOMEN
Special Treatment Required.
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

Various Forms
Of Headache
"It Is oecesaarr in order to treat head
aches properly to underx&nd the causes
which produce the affection" r Dr. J. W.
Kay. ot Blockton. Ala. Continuing, be says,
'Physicians cannot even begin the treat
ment ol a disease without knowing what
tuin give rise to It. and we must remem
ber that headache I to be treated accord
Ins to the same rule. We must not only be
particular to Rive s remedy Intended to
counteract the canse which produces the
headache, but we must alto give a remedy
to relieve the pain until the cause ol tbe
trouble ha been removed. To answer this
purpose, sntl-lcamuls tablets will be found
a most convenient and sau factory remedy.
One tablet every one to three hours gives
comfort and rest In the most severe esses
ot headache, neuralgia and particularly the
headaches of women."
When we have a patient subject to regular
attacks ot sick headnche, we should csutloa
him to keep bis bowels resulnr. for which
nothing la better thsn "Actoids." and when
he feels the leant airm ot an oncoming at
tack, he should take two A-K Tablets, tsuca
patients should always be Instructed to
carry a few autt-kamnla tablets, ao as to
have them ready for Instant use. These
tablets are prompt In action end ran be
depended on to produce relief la a very
few minutes. Ask lor A-K Tablets.
