ITALIANS ADVANCE
Heavy Rains Said to Delay Military
Operations.

A gradual ADVANCE along the Isonzo
river, with the occupation of Globna
north of PLAYA, and the edge of the
plateau between Sagrado and Monfal
cone, are announced in an official
statement issued at the headquarters
OF the Italian general staff.
Advices from Brescia declare that
heavy rains are preventing military
operations. The rivers are out of their
banks to such an extent that they 2"e
impassable. Airships have been c m
pelled to return from scouting t0lrs
owing to the dense fog or otherwise
bad weather conditions.

NO COHQUESTS WANT

Other Peoples.

The debate in the Prussian cham
ber of deputies in Berlin, in Whlcf
the attitude or the German people to
ward peace was discussed b. Pro
gressive and Socialist members, Wnt
were in return answered by a gov
ernment official, the minister OF the
interior, at attracting considerable at
tention.
Herr Braun, Herr Wiener and DR.
Karl LieblInecht took part in the eX
changes. The newspapers report the
proceedings substantially as follows:
Herr Wiener, Progressive, cited
with signs of approval from the mem
bers, an article by Hugo Heineman
Socialist, to the effect that no Ger
man wants peace until Germany's en-
emies are willing to concede her rlgh'
to develop her economic and cultura
powers"
To this statement DR.. Liebknecht
one of the Socialist leaders, interJect
ed: 1--WE have the masses with us
and the masses want peace" Alter
this interruption Herr Wiener con
tinued:
I'VE are convinced that the coop
Grafton of all parties and classes Is
essential and that it means German
victory. In this cooperation is found
the guarantee that we will hold out,
and that we will be spared from such
dastard,y attacks in the future"
Herr Braun, Socialist, was the next
sneaker. He said the Socialists did
not deny that the German people
must stand together against their IN
Vulnerable enemies. He referred to
the fact that certain persons are talk
ing about continuing the war until
they realize wild plans of anneXa
ton"
"a great majority of the German
people wish imperatively that no op
portunity for securing an early peace
be lost" the speaker declared, "ano
they emphatically reject annexation
plans of all kinds, particularly such as
have been advocated by one German
ruler. Democracy is opposed to THESE
Objectionable projects, if only for ths
reason that they prolong wars and tht
consequent unheard of sacrifices anc
wasting of the strength of the peo
PIE"
"The German people want no con
nuasts" Herr Braun declared. "Iney
want no annexations. They do want
peace without bringing humiliation OF
subsection to other peoples"
Herr Delbruecl, the minister OF the
inferior. made answer to Herr Braun
i'll part as fellows:
"While we are involved in such a
war as this we can have but one
thought. namely, to terminate 1t IN a
way that will make repetition I'M
nossible. That is the goal which the
imperial chancellor and the allied gov
ernments have set themselves, and
that is the goal you must strive for
along with u.s."
These words from the ministeE
were greeted with evidences of disap
proval from the Socialist members
who were present.

BRITAIN Defends
SEIzINC CARCOES
Claim Blockade Has Been Con-
siderate Of u. S. Trade.
THE REPLY is FRIENDLY
lntimates England Is Doing More For
America Regarding German Com
merce Than For Any Other Nation.

The memorandum of the British
government in regard to the enforce
ment of its orders in councid as al
fectirg American trade was made pub
lie in Washington.
In this memorandum, which was
handed by Lord Crewe to Ambassador
Page in London, Great Britain again
gives impressive evidence of her de-
sire to make every possible conces'
sion to the United States without
actually endangering her blockade OF
Germany.
The memorandum is framed in the
friendliest spirit. In fact it contains
the distinct i4timation that Great Bri'
tain is doing more for the United
States in the way Of Tightening the
burden caused by the British block
ade than she is doing for any othe'
nation.
Notwithstanding these protestatious
Great Britain's memorandum in no
way alters her determination to con-
tinue the blockade. This latest Brit
ish communication, in the opinion OF
Washington officials, comedies to the
protest of the United States against
violations Of the principles OF inter
national law in the conduct OF the
British blockade.
The memorandum, so far as the
vital issues between this government
and Great Britain are concerned
leaves the situation exactly where ii
was, except that Great Britain has
laid before this country the details OF
what she has done to make the bur
den upon the United States as light
as possible.
The note also says:
importers in the United St2'"@.
having now had three months In
which to clear oil their purchases IL
enemy territory, his majesty's govern
ment trust that, in presence OF cir
cumstance5 enumerated, the United
States government will acknowledge
the great consideration which has
been shtAvn to American interests"
The recent OF the British memo
randum proEabiy will not alter the
determination oI President Wilson and
his advisers to send a strong protes
to Great Britain against her interfer
ence with American non-contrabano
with and from tie ports Of neutra
countries adi,cent to Germany.
As viewed by officials the benefits
and fayor3 set forth by Great Britain
in the memorandum as acts of grace
on her part fall far short of the rights
which the United States has under
the rules OF international law.
