FRENCH STATEMENT

Paris, Oct. 23.-11.1O P. M
The French official communica-
ton issued tonight says: ION
our left wing the action contin-
ues with great violence, notably
around Arras, La Bassee and
Armentieres. The Allies have
lost some ground at some points
around La Bassee, but have won
some at the east of Armentieres.
Generally speaking, on this part
of the front, the situation re-
mains the same. To the north
of the Aisne our artillery has de-
stroyed three German bat
teries.

No Decisive Battle

Although it is just two months now
since the Allies concentrated on the
Franco-Belgian frontier to oppose the
German advance, and the invaders have
been close to Paris and back in the in
terval, no decisive battle has been fought.
Neither side has destroyed or partly de-
stroyed an army. Even the Belgian army
escaped almost intact after their country
was overrun by the Germans. The same
can be said of operations in the East,
where the armies of Russia, Germany and
Austria are fighting, except in the case
of Gen. Samson, the Russian command
er, whose army was partly destroyed by
the Germans in the battle at Tannenberg,
East Prussia.
In the present battle on the River Wis.,
tula, from Warsaw south to the River
Pilica, the Russians have scored an i'm
portant victory in driving the Germans
back and have captured many prisoners
besides guns and ammunition. But the
defeated army is still in being and when
it gets back to its selected position It
can entrench itself and start another
siege battle such as that which occurred
on he River Aisne in France. Southwark
of the Pilica the Germans still hold the
River NlStuld except IN front OF the Tort
ress at Ivangorod, where they were
driven back by attacks from that strong
hold.
The Austrian army, which was so often
described as routed and destroyed in the
battles of Galicia, has sprung into life
again and is attacking the Russian left
wing. The Austrians, however, appar-
emily have found an impenetrable barrier
at the River San north of Jaroslau.
The German claim of victory over the
Russians west of Augustowo, Sualki, fol-
lowing fighting reported by them yester-
day in the direction of Ossowelz, south
of Augustowo, shows that the Germans
are attempting another advance from
East Prussia into the government of
Grondo. to the east of Suwalki. doubt
less with the object OF compelling the
Russians to reinforce their army in that
region.
The admiralty tonight issued a report
which stated that the German cruised
Karlsruhe had captured IS British steam
ers in the Atlantic.

Govt EXPLANATION

Explaining the governments deci-
sion to prohibit the importation Of
sugar into the United Kingdom, the
official news bureau says:
Measures already have been taken
to prevent the importation into Ger
many and Austria of goods necessary
to the conduct of war, but when neu-
trail countries have the opportunity of
making great profits on the enhanced
prices which German and Austria are
willing to pay it is impossible to put
a stop to all importations.
AT the present time there ara few
exports of great value which can be
sent out in exchange for goods which
Germany receives from neutral coun-
tries. OF these sugar is the chief

Request for Release

This protest is identical to the one
filed in the case of the BrindiIla, held
at Halifax, n. S, and requests the
immediate release of the ship. mas
much as the admiralty court at Hal
flax already has begun proceedings to
determine whether the Brindilla is a
prize, the British government is ex-
pected formally to decline to release
the vessel until a decision is rendered
A prize court, it is believed will SIM
ilarly determine the status of the
Platuria. According to well-informed
opinion here, both vessels probably
will be released unless reports that
the vessels were acting suspiciously
and steering out of their regular
course result in proof in that they
were engaged in an unneutral SER
vice.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice the British
ambassador, called on Secretary Lam
sing today to learn the relation be-
tween the German Co., which formerly
owned the Brindilla. and the Standard
OIL Co. According to report of the
commissioner Of corporations in 1907,
the German company in question was
a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Co..
and completely controlled by the lat
ter. If this fact is proven to the satis-
faction of prize court all doubt as to
the bonafide nature of the transfer
of the vessel from German to Amer
lean registry will be removed, as
Great Britain informally has advised
the American government that she
will accept as prima facia evidence of
legitimate transfer all vessels whose
ownership is continuously American.
The Platuria was similarly owned
by a German subsidiary of the Stan
dard Oil Co. Doubt as to the validity
Of the change Of registry would not
be a sufficient cause for seizure, how
ever. 1t is pointed out today that re-
ports Of unneutral intention on the
part of each of the vessels probably
would be considered by the prize
courts
In the release yesterday of the John
d. Rockefeller, bound from one neu-
trail country to another, the principle
vas tacitly admitted that even Though
she carried Illuminating oil, now de-
clared conditional contraband it could
ont be seized because the country to
which she was destined had declined
an embargo on the expectation of the
product to belligerent countries.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Hearings be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion on the application of Eastern rail-
roads for a general increase in freight
rates came to an end today. Argu-
ments will be heard next week with
every indication of an early decision
by the commission.
The presentation of the case of OPP
posing shippers occupied less than two
hours, as against the five days occu-
pied by witnesses for the carriers. 1t
consisted only of statement by Cliff
ford Thorne, counsel for several West
ern states railway commissions and
shippers associations who took the po-
sition that no business depression had
been shown by the carriers that did
not equally affect shippers and that
the increase would be unjust. Counsel
for all other shippers represented join
ed in the statement.
Arguments will begin next Thursday
morning and probably will be conclud-
ed Friday.
The carriers closed their case with
the testimony of Samuel Rea, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania system. His
statement followed closely the lines
of previous evidence offered and his
cross examination was brief.
Louis De Brandeis, counsel for the
commission, drew Mr.. Rea's attention

change through the connivance of its

Barrett, after an investigation by the
board of directors, was discharged and
the firm was suspended for one year

do you consider that sufficient
time of suspension, especially when il
lay within your power to expel him ?"
asked Mr.. Kennedy.
II am not in position to answer
that, as l was not the sole judge of
their conduct replied Henry.
Henry, who said he testified under
portest, explained that the substitution
had been discovered through a COM
plant made by a competitive bidder
for the butter, Droste & Snyder. Henry
said that a government inspector re-
ported that although the butter was
supposed to be No. l fresh it was, in
the majority of tubs, of inferior quail
ity. 1t was not rancid nor rotten, but
very ordinary butter not fit to be used
in hot climate by our soldiers.

The Defence'S Day

This was the defence's day in court.
Witness after witness went on the
stand and gave testimony for Mrs.
Carman The defendant herself occu-
pied the stand at the beginning of the
day and submitted to a grilling cross
examination.
Explaining her installation of a me-
chanieal dropping device in the
office of her husband, DR.. Edwin Car
man, she told how men friends of her
husband had asked him in her pres
ence how all of his girls We're" Other
men, she said solemnly, had told her
that the doctor was "a devil with the
girls"
She brought her story down through
a long period of time, all during which
she kept hearing things about her
husband and his girls Then she ad-
mitted that she became suspicious of
her husband. So she had the ''mechan-
ical eavesdropper" installed in his Of
fee to determine whether there was
any truth in the reports that had come
to her ears She also admitted to the
district attorney that If a woman pa
tient came to her husbands office
many times she became suspicious of
the woman and also of her husband.
District Attorney Smith talked to
Mrs carman in a voice almost as low
as hers. He used none of the methods
he employed when cross-examining
the strike breakers who appeared yes
terday for the defence. He handled the
wife of the Freeport physician with
every care. He was courteous and at

to her.
