Wnllloi; for Italy
The nleilness with which every

fiudieates the high importance attach
ed here to efforts to bring Italy to

sons udvaneed for Ibis desire to in
clude Italy in the partnership of the
allies is that in no other wuy is it
possible to chue effectively the door
through which supplier still nre
reaching the Teutonic allies in con

A ease in point is the confiscation
by Hie Swiss- authorities, announced
in Geneva today, of n enrload of ma

which was on the way to Germany
from Genon. Shipments of iron, cop
per, antimony nnd sulphate have been

of regularity.

AUSTIN ATTACKS
IN
PKTHOGHAI), April 10. Austrian
attacks on the heights of tho Mczo
laborer, district of Hungary, where
the Aiistrimis for ix days have been
furiously nltemptiiig to regain posi
tions recently taken by the Ku-sinns,
appear to have deliuitely subsided.
The attacks, which exceeded in vio
lence any action on this front, reach
ed their greatest intensity on April
17, when sixteen n-uiils nre rtorted
to have been made on thnt one day.
The encounters ended in tho evening
.its a desperate bayonet change mid
sustained hmid-to-hmid encounters,
which left the Itiissjmis, nceording to
reports received hy the Hussion offic
ials, firmly ensconced on the height of
Telepoteh. After this the Austrian
attack appeared to have spent itself
and there nre no indications of a re
sumption of ni'tivity in this region.
Austrian nssaults upon the other
important height in the east De-kids,
nainelv Zeloe. were renulsed chiefly
by the fire of rillcs and lnnohiuef
gun. After three sharp couuter-nt
.tacks the Aiistrimis here, too, gn;e,

On the northern front the swnmpy

(Mv Gilsou Gardner.)
WASHINGTON, April II). Fil oho
respect, .InscphiiH Daniels has been
the best secretary the nnvyover hii(l,
lie has done more than nny'iiredecos.
nor toward making the government
independent of private interest In
the innlter of its ammunition mid na
val material. Within two years- the
'overnment will be making nil its
powder nt Indian Head. 1'siii'r an ap
propriation grnnlcd by lljn recent
congress-, the secretary is greallv en
larging tlie capacity of the smokeless
powder plant at Indian Head and the
capacity for the full requirements of
the navy will bo reached, it is behev
ed, within thnt period. As a result.
the price of powder has been drop
ping. Originally tho powder trust
took 80 cents a pound from the gov
ernment for its smokeless; then they
dropped to oil cents and then the gov
ernment begnn making its own pow
der for Hll cents "nil now with un
proved equipment is making it for 3'J
cents a pound.
Trust Fights Daniel
It is in doinc things like litis thnt
Secretary Daniels hits made, himself
one of the most oritioUed navy heads.
Ho hud tho temerity in his first an
nual report to exK)e the collusive
bidding of tho armor plate ring and
to recommend the construction of a
government aniior-uiuking plant. The
wnr frnst'rt influence with congress
has been strong cnnuult to prevent
legislation to carry out this proposi
tion. Kven in the late congress it
was defeated for about tho ninth
time. Hut DanielxMS dniw: whnt he
can to smash this combination mlso,
The ivmiII is that nil the tremendous
engines of publicity. are nt work to
brin;; the Daniels admini-tnition into
discredit. His enemies do not join
issue on the real grievance. Nothing
is said in their publicity about the
armor factory or the powder making
activities; of the government. On the
other hand, the criticism is directed
to the introduction of education in
tho nivy's personnel, the abolishment
of liquor nnd tho supposed disorgan
ization and neglect of discipline.
Houson for Efficiency
Thnt the navy has become less ef
ficient of late years there is no doubt.
A good reason is found in the influ
ence of tho "little navy" members of
congress who have denied proper ap
propriations and used their influence
for tho misapplication of money di
verted into political navy yards nml
AKvata construction of armament and
'-Icwi' 'iS"ided economy has cut
down mo nuinucr ot enlisted men re
quired, so that there nro not enough
to man the ships. Hut all theso rea
sons nro not the ones which inspire
tho hostilo criticism directed ngninst
Secretary Daniels. He is n much bet
ter secretary than he is painted.

attention to tho other. The room won
crowded and outside the eoiirihouso
a great crowd kept in lino hy police
men awaited opportunity to gtc in.
Talesmen KjiamUned
Examination of talesmen in tho
special panel of 7o cnlled for the caso
began us soon ns Justice William S.
Andrews nscended tho bench nnd op
ened court. Each sido was informed
by the courtjhnt it would bo allowed
six peremptory chpllengwf' Tho
talesmen were questioned JiyWillinnt
L. Itanium, it Symouo attorney,' for
Mr. Karnes. He wanted to know
whether the "political prominence
heretofore" of either one or both tho
principals xvould affect' tltfc decision
of possiblo jiirorsC Henlo- asked
talesmen whether they believed Milf
tieiatiR might he libelled just ns other
citizens.
The fact that the defamlant has
been president of tho United States
and governor of New York was nlso
dwelt upon by the attorney in'7rnminj
his inquiries. "'
When the afternoon 'session oon
ed, Oliver D. Rtirden, a Syracuse at
torney of Colonel Roosevelt' tnff,
asked tho talesmen xvhether they be
lieved a person holding public officn
might bo critices for maladministra
tion or corruption while in thnt of
fice. C'ennnn Not Prejudiced
In reply to questions, ono talesman,
n native of Germany, said that tho
fact thnt Colonel Roosevelt, "al
though having nlwnys been friendly
to Germany, hnd criticised thu viola
tion of the neutrality of Belgium,"
xvould not prejudice him against tho
defendant. Each talesman was ques
tioned closely ns to xvhether he had
any grudge against Colonel Roosevelt
because of his actions during' tho
presidential campaign of 1012.
The court upheld an objection by
Karnes' counsel to a question ns to
whether ono of tho talesmen believed
that a citizen had a right to oritieiso
a person in public office, if his mo
tive for so doing xvns to further tho
cntiso of honest gox'ernment.
As the examination proceeded, Mr.
Kanitun delved deeper into political
and legislative matters, asking; tho
talesmen to what extent they had
been interested in such affairs.
Onco Mr. Karnes, xvho had ehnngei
his sent, swung around in his chair,
and gazed nt Colonel Roosevelt for
fully two minutes, then turned hack
and wrote a memorandum on a pad of
paper.
