Italian Watering Place on the Adri
attic Attacked.

Rome, June 19.-The Austrian feet
bombarded Fano, noted watering
place on the Adriatic.
The first official statements from
the ministry of marine did not report
the extent of the damage.
Fano lies six miles south of the
tiny republic Of San Marino and is the
home of a famous old cathedral and
churches adorned with art treasures.
Tourists have visited the town prin-
oipally to view the ruins of a tri-
umphal arch erected to Augustus.
The city has a population of about
10000.
The Austrian naval base of Pola,
from which the attack was probably
directed, lies eighty-flye miles north.
east of Fano, across the Adriatic.

ITALIANS TAKE PASS
IN AUSTRIAN TYROLS

Rome, June 19.-The battle for
Goritz is being waged with renewed
intensity, General Cadorna reported
to the war Office.
Italian artillery has bombarded and
destroyed the railway station at
Goritz. Six miles north of the city
Italian forces have seized and forti-
fed the heights that surround PLAYA,
on the east bank of the IsonZo.
Important successes at several 9th.
er points were recorded in the state
ment.
Bersagliere annihilated Hungarian
battalion in the Tolmino region.
The forts of Malborget have been
heavily damaged by Italian artillery
In the Val Ampezzo region Alpin-
lists have occupied the Austrian vii
lagos of Sassiostria and Albergo and

EDITOR MAY PRINT OPINION
Minnesota Newspaper Man Freed Of
Libel Charge.

st. Paul, June 19-The action
charging criminal libel brought by
the state against J. r. Landy, editor
of the Olivia Times, for articles print
ed June 4, 1914, concerning the can
didacy OF Dan w. Lawler of st. Paul
for governor, is brought to an end
by a decision handed down in su-
preme court by Judge Holt reversing
the order of the lower court I'm re-
fusing to sustain a demurrer
Newspapers may still be permit
ted to express an opinion upon the
merits of opposing candidates for po-
litical office and upon the influences
supporting them" writes Judge Holt
in his opinion. Perhaps it is still
allowable TO surmise that corporations
are not Indifferent to the success OF
political candidates in spite of the
stringent enactments to keep them
absolutely dormant in that respect.
I'VE fail to find anything lnlawful
or wrongful in the article published
Corporations are public interests, are
creatures OF the law and not per Sc
odious."
The article asserted that Lawler
has the backing of public service
corporations in the state that are not
in sympathy with the masses"

ENGLAND TO HEAD
OFF AMERICAN NOTE

Washington, June 19.-England
hopes to beat the United States to
it, in her reply TO the American pro
test against the order in council
With the admission that an answer
is being prepared to the American
message of March 80 comes the init
nation that England hopes to dispute
any claim that American trade has
suffered by citing some of Secretary
Redfield's figures. These figures,
which deal with the trade balance
since war began, will be depended on
to show that exports to the countries
contiguous to German territory are SO
large that there can be no doubt that
much of the goods ultimately reach
Germany.
1t also became known that the next
note will take up the interference by
England with mails from the United
States Many individual complaints
have been filed with the government
that mails to the Scandinavian coun.
tries have been tampered with.

ALLIES ARE LOSING GROUND
Campaign in DardanelIes Said to Be
Failure.

Constantinople, June 19.-An in
spection by a correspondent of the
Turkish positions at Avi Burnu, on
the west coast of Gallipoli peninsula,
shows that the British have lost most
OF the ground formerly held in that
district.
They now hold only small cres-
cent to the northward of Gaba Te-
peh, on the west coast of the penin-
sula near its extremity, $500 yards
long and LOO yards wide at it's broad
est point This position includes
three small barren Interests and a
beach below. The British troops have
little water and they are without
shelter from the sun.
The correspondent was reliably in
formed that the British feet has TAX
en- refuge from German submarines in
Kefala bay, on the northeast coast of
Imbros island, about ten miles from
the Gallipoli coast. The British ships
could be seen from heights on shore
at anchor in the bay.

MEDIATION is BRYAN'S CURE
Issues Third and Final Article or
"The CauseIess War"

President Unwilling to Appoint Other
Than Cabinet Member.

Washington, June 19.-Presideni
Wilson has no intention of going out
side his official family to find secre
tary of state and those close to the
White House said his principal rea
son was his wish to appoint a man al
ready in touch with the foreign ques
tions before the administration.
1t was said that Robert Lansing

among those under consideration and
that cabinet members were much in

Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
personally informed Acting Secretary
Lansing that neither he nor any
member of the embassy staff had any
knowledge of DR. Alfred Meyer, said

Meyer returned TO Germany under a
safe conduct obtained for DR.. Anton
Meyer-Gerhard from the allies by the
United States at the ambassador s
request.
The ambassador also assured Seere-
tary Lansing that DR.. Meyer-Gerhard
never had engaged in any work other
