ITALIANS ADVANCE

Made in Mountainous
Battle Zones.

Paris, Sept. 4.-The Italians are max
ing progress in the mountainous coun-
try on the frontier, despite recent
heavy snowfalls, Rome claims. Ad-
vances in the Tonale, Haul Cordevole,
Vale and Cencia zones are reported.
On the lsonzo River the invaders

bv the Austrians 10 destroy several
bridges held by the Italians. The
strict watch kept by the Italian SEN
tinels, Rome says, made possible this
feat.
Vienna tells Of a slackening Of the
foes activity. Another attack on the
Tolmino bridgehead and an assault in
the Solomites failed, the Austrians
claim.
ITALIAN OFFICIAL.
The following Italian official state

theatre Of operations, especially IN
the zones of Tonale, Haul Corde-
vole, Vale and Cencia-the Anslei-
the action of our troops continues,
despite the recent heavy snowfall. On
the Lavaronne plateau our artillery,
bv its accurate and intense fire,
greatly hindered the enemy's troops
in reinforcement work. Along the
Haut Cordevole a fort which the
enemy had succeeded in partially re-
pairing was freshly damaged by our
artillery fire.
In Boeden Valley-the Rienz-our
troops succeeded on September In
repulsing the enemy's heavy attack.
Attacks also we're repulsed against
our positions at Slatenik and Potoka,
situated in the Plezzo Valley.
On the Isonzo River we brought
out a floating mine, set adrift from
the opposite shore with the evident
intention of destroying several
bridges in our possession. This feat
was due to the remarkably strict
watch kept by our sentinels.
The official statement issued at Vi
emma says:
Since the useless attacks against
the Plateau of Lavaronne and the
bridgehead of Tolmino, the Italian
activity has slackened visibly. Be-
sides artillery engagements, the only
fighting worth mention took place
before the southern end of the
bridgehead of Tolmino, where the
enemy was repulsed.
An attack early this morning in
the district Of the Dolomites, from
Bocdenslp against Inichriedl, also
failed.

Berlin, Sept. (by wireless to Say

French and British have succeeded in
breaking through the German lines at

Overseas News Agency.
40 the contrary, the German posi-

to the idea that the new Triple ALI
ance Is holding together. The reason
that the press Of countries hostile to
Germany is taking up the peace prop
uganda more vigorously may be found
in the wish TO preserve what may still
be rescued before the collapse.
This propaganda should not be
taken seriously, except where the wish
for peace is openly expressed and de-
feat is admitted. II is necessary to
understand that what it is impossible
to achieve with weapons it is impos-
sible to accomplish by intrigues."

HARRISON DRUG ACT IGNORED
Doctors and Others Who Handle Mar
cotics Fail to Register.

Unless 5000 or more physicians, drug
gists, veterinarians and other vendors
of narcotics and opiates register with the
Internal Revenue Department for the
First Pennsylvania District before next
Wednesday, as required under the Har-
rison dope" act which went into effect
March /, not only will they be liable 10
extra penalty OF 50 per cent of their tax
and possible fine OF $1,000. but many will
technically be guilty of another mis-
demeanor under the law.
Internal Revenue Collector Lederer this
morning issued notices to about half OF
the 1000 vendors and handlers of certain
drugs to this effect He stated, moreover
that failure to receive these warnings
would excuse no one under the law.
When the law went into effect, for sake
of simplifying the departments accounts
dealers in these drugs were permitted 10
pay "a cents tax for the months OF
March, April. May and June of this fiscal
year, which ends June 80. 1t Is thought
that many have the impression that this
payment was for the next government
fiscal year, which begins on July l. 1917.
Misapprehenslon on this point, however,
will not excuse delinuents from prosecu-
tion. according to Mr.. Lederer

No Effect.

John c. Bell, trustee Of the University

provides that: The appointment Of as

CONVENTION WILL BOOM CITY,
BUSINESS MEN DECLARE

There was jubilaton among business
and financial interests in Philadelphla
today, following announcement that the
convention of the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World would be held in this
city next year.
Expressions of appreciation of this
campaign work done by the Poor Richard
Club were heard on all sides.
The Associated Advertising Clubs have
more than 1000 advertising men enrolled
In membership and these men come from
all corners of the earth. They hall from
Australia, Japan India and Korea. If
the war is over by next summer there
win be an influx of advertising men from
France. Germany, England, Russia, ltaly
and Austria-Hungary. To these men Is
intrusted every year the expenditure OF
the millions manufacturers invest In ad-
vertising, sums that have been variously
estimated at from $6OO,OOO,OOO to Sl'VVV'-
oO900O
1T is the most magnificent opportunity
that has ever come to Philadelphla'
said Doctor Wilson, director or the
Commercial Museums and consul Tor Ar
gentina, when told that the advertising
men had voted to come here In 1915
These very keen men will have the
chance to see for themselves that Phlla-
delphia is a progressive city, that her
manufacturing plants are among the pest
in the world and that her financial IN
bulullOnS are us SOuIlug IL AlON SNN'ANO-'
than those of the other large cities.
Now that the city has been selected
as the next meeting place, trade bodies
and manufacturing associations should
not lose a day in beginning to prepare
Tor the reception. There are many roush
corners that must be smoothed down II
We are to make creditable showing.
These advertising men are the keenest
In the world, and while they will be
quick to see the splendid facilities our
manufacturing plants and methods az
ford, they will be just as quick to see
any defects"
Edward Mumford. president OF the
Penn Publishing Company, said;
There is a tremendous amount or SOHO
worth In our city that is not appreciated
by the country at large. Our banks are
real and are backed by real money; our
manufacturing plants are hygienic ana
solid. our business men can produce the
goods and are not compelled to rely on
talk and promotion schemes in order 10
succeed"
The resources of the city and her en-
Flrons will open the eyes of the visiting

MYSTERY ENVELOPS
"JTTNEY RIGHTS" PARTY
Title of Political Organization
Pre-Empted by Men Who
Conceal Their Plans.

Mystery surrounds the plans and tnten-
tons Of the Ave men who have filed with
the ProthonOtary an affidavit pre-empting,
the title "Jitney Rights Party" as ~
political eppellation. None OF those who
fixed their names to the document villa
say as much as a word that might diA
vulse their purpose.
They are Isaiah Heckler william II.
Barnes. Charles Jaggers John w. Bass-
Ter and Mark sandberg. Bassler lives at
l22s Tucker street, and Heekler at 252A
North Jessup street.
Political observers say the filing Of the
papers has an interesting Significance i'm
that Il is the first action that has at
tached to the jtney the Importance OF q,
political issue.
Many believe the plan Of those back
OF the movement Is to check any ieais-
latlon by Councils that may unduly re-
strict or burden those engaged in the
3itney business, or that has for it's OBJ
lect the subversion of their interests in
favor OF the long-establlshed transporta-
ton companies They say the organizers
OF the new party believe that the jtney
has sufficient popularity among the
voters to make the question OF its life
or death have a considerable effect ON the
personnel Of the legislative bodies In
control Of It,
isaiah Heckler when seen refused to
indicate IN any way what the intentions
OF himself and his confreres were.
we are not ready at this time TO an
nounce anything publicly" he said. Just
as soon as the time is ripe the people
VIII know all about It."
The politicians" ne said. don't realize
what grip this jitney business has on the
city. 1t Is a great develoment pnat will
revolutlonize, as It has done TO some ex-
tent already, all the old established meth
DDS OF transportation. 1t appeals too much,
you know, to human nature for It to be
possible to ride in as pleasurable thing as
an automobile for so small price. And
since the people have had a taste OF 1t
they will not give 1t up without fight"
