Italian minister at Vienna was In
structed formally and most emphatic
ally to file a protest against the strew-
ing Of mines by Austria in the Adriatic.
He was directed to demand that tho
Austrian government Immediately dis
continue this practice.
Inasmuch as the mines are the only
thing which have permitted the Aus-
trian fleet to remain within the pro-
lection of the Pelle Notifications. 1t II
not believed here that Austria will
agree to stop planting them. Then it
will be up to Italy to enforce sher de-
cree by her army and navy.
In the official statement sent to Vie
emma, it is pointed out that many 1tal-
ian fishing vessels have fallen victims
have been picked up and that many
others have f1oated ashore on italian
territory and that the fishing crafts are
in grave danger every time they put
out to stretch their nets.

FAITHFUL DOG SAVES SOLDIER

Paris. Sept. 3O.-The Petit Jour-.
nal publishes a story from their
Lemens correspondent telling how
an infantry soldier from that town
was saved by the regfmentaI dog. 1
Wounded thrice in the battle Of
the Marne. the soldier lay in
faint on a heap of corpses. when
Tom, the regimental pet. revived
him by licking his face.
The animal had been trained to
carry caps, and the soldier, having
lost his cap, tried to persuade the
dog to take his knapsack to the en-
campment.
After awhile Tom seemed to rea1-
ize what was wanted. He ran to
the camp. seized the coat of the
nearest man, and tried to drag him
to the battlefield. When a party
finally followed the dog they found
their wounded comrade and rescued
him. sssi =

low Up the Enemy.

Passes Latest News.

Paris, Sept 3O.-Widely conflicting
reports concerning the situation at the
front are current here today. Rumors
printed in a number of papers tell of
the breaking of the German right
wing. But the military authorities
have no confirmation OF this report.
They frankly state that hghtlnS or
the most severe character continues
but that while the French left is
pushing steadily forward and the re-
inforced army of General - Anlaov ~,
confines it's pressure on the hooked
end of the German position Whlch eX-
tends north and south from the Oise
and the Aisne triangl the German po-
sition is still strongly maintained.
There is no doubt that the break IN
the German right is expected. FOR
the last three days reinforcements
have been poured to the north. But
the officials content themselves with
pointing out that the official statement
of yesterday shows the German posi-
tion on the right is extremely DANGER
oUs and that unless Won kluck does
soon withdraw to a new position in
Belgium. he will be unable to move

Unchanged in Aisne.
London, Sept. 3O.-The brief official
communication received here from
Paris declares that the conditions along
the battle front in France remain un-
changed.
Among the special dispatches is one
from ancy which tells of the recapture
by the French of ST. Mihlie and the re-
capture of the crown prince of Bavaria
and relates that desperate attempts
are being made to retake the distin-
guiShed prisoner. No one knows except
those on the ground just how tht great
siege battle of the Aisne is progressing
but there are many indications that its
nineteenth day may be witnessing a

From Brussels comes the report that
the German military government is

eral Won Hindenburg and General Rem
nenkampff, along the Niemen, are re-
ported to have been engaged in a fierce
battle during the last three days with
out any decisive result having been OBJ
tanned.
Vienna states that the much har-
assed Austrian army from Galicia has
formed a junction with the German
corps at Cracow. This junction has
been expected but in the British view
occurred none too soon, as the Rus
slams are reported to be only sixty
miles distant.
Situation in East.
Heavy fighting in this region and
in Silesia is expected soon. Owing. to
the marshy ground the Germans have
been compelled to place their siege
guns on the railways. This is taken
here to indicate that artillery will not
play as important part in the COM
ing operations as it has in previous
battles OF the war. II the Russian
forces have won the passes in the Car
pathians, nothing except improvised
forts remains to prevent them over
