NORTHCL|FFE SEES
UPHEAVAL. IN U. S.
After War Effect on British
Labor Sure TO Influence
3 America, He Declares.

CHICAGO Nov. s.--The United
States is facing a social upheaval as
a result Of the European war. in the
opinion OF Lord Northcliffe. The
English publisher made known his
the Daily News. who is making n
study Of internal conditions In Great
Britain. The correspondent cables
the following:
THE change in the French ca bine,,
taken with the determined attack on
the Asquith government. has quick
ened the public pulse with the idea OF
a probable upheaval In the British
cabinet.
ut is bad thing to change horses
In the middle OF the stream. but what
IL your horse lies down In the water?
said Lord Northcliffo to the corre-
spondent.
Will Affect America.
This saying we'll represents the
diverse opinions In England today.
There are those who say that Britain
has done more for It's allies than Il
promised to 10; that It has controlled
the seas IN their interest, handled the
difficult problems OF financing them,
helped them with supplies and NUM-
! tions. and has in the field, and in
preparation In England. an army Of
| 100000 men-not a bad showing for
a nation unprepared except by sea.
What is America thinking Of us?
What do It's citizens believe the issue
of tho war will boz asked Lord
Northcliffe. and barely awaiting your
| answer he continued:
"'Your country will have its con-
flicts also. Yes. think you are right.
II will be an internal reflex action Of
| tho great changes taking place here.
Before the beginning Of next year
my income tax will be $3.50 oG every

/ VIII never be less. even after the war.
| On the other hand. the working classes
are receiving higher wages than they
have ever received before. In view OF
the cheapness OF living In this country.
| they are receiving relatively higher
wages than those Of American workmen
today.
Won't Put Up With Nonsense.

never be lower. The rich arc going TO

DUElS BETWEEN ARTILLERY
Hand-to-Hand Fighting Is Discarded
by the Armies Battling in
France.

London.=Activity along the western
battle line seems to partake of the ma
ture Of isolated engagements rather
than a general offensive. Artillery
duels have taken the place Of hand-to-
hand fighting, which has been the fea-
ture of the recent struggle along the
Meuse and near the Lorraine border,
but the latter type OF combat continues
In the Vosges, where the official state
ments agree sharp fighting is taking
place on German territory.
The confederation, however, ends
with this fact, the French claiming to
have occupied dominating positions
here, and the Germans declaring the
attacks Of the French have failed.
Petrograd continues to report minor
successes in the Carpthians, showing
that the fighting has not been entirely
suspended near the passes, but the
Russian, Austrian and German official
reports agree that spring virtually has
put an end to all activity along the re-
mainder of the eastern front.
1t again is unofficially announced
that operations are under way in the
Dardanelles, where the Turks are re-
ported building defenses against land
ing parties, but the news of the break
ing up of the ice at A~rchangel, the only
large sea port on the north coast Of
Russia, may induce the entente allies
TO be more deliberate in their attempts
TO unlock the gate to the Black Sea.
The irritation in Holland ove the
torpedoing of the Dutch ship Katwyk
has been greatly allayed by Germany's
expression of her willingness to make
an apology and pay an indemnity If il
Is found that the vessel was sunk by a
German submarine.
Whether the negotiations between
Rome and Vienna concerning Italy's de
mands for territorial concessions have
been broken off remains for the mo
ment an official secret, but it appears
to be universally agreed that the ten
sion is approaching the breaking
point. 1t is suggested here that the
Italian foreign office is awaiting al
ultimatum from Vienna on the subieci
of ltaly's military preparations aloni
the frontier as a pretext to sever the
remaining ties barring an outbreak o
hostilities.
The %alertness with which Italy's ev
cry move now is followed in Londor
indicates the high Importance attached
here to efforts to bring Italy to th'
fighting lire.

General Headquarters Of the British
Army in France.-Mud which ham
pered the armies in France and Bel
GUM throughout the winter virtually
has disappeared along the British
front. Dismal, rainy days have given
way to weeks Of sunshine, which has

With the coming Of clearer weather
there also has been a marked increase

the rear of the British lines.
Day after day the sky Is unlocked

SULTAN WOULD QUIT JOB
Heir Apparent Attacks Policy Of the
Young Turk Party at imperial
Council.

Paris.-A special dispatch from Dede
Agratch Turkey in Europe) says that
at an imperial council Just held in
Constantinople, Sultan Mehmed Re-
chad announced he intended to abdi-
cate If the capital was transferred
from Constantinople. This was the
principal point discussed. Prince lnous-
souf Izzedin, heir to the throne, vio-
lently attacked the policy Of Enver
Pasha and the Young Turks, which, he
said, had brought the empire to ruin.
The sultan said he owed his throne
to the Young Turks, but would have
preferred to have resigned than wit
ness the misfortunes their crude and
risky policy had brought upon the
country. Addressing Prince Inoussouf,
he added:
Il am tired of reigning and would
be YER happy if you could succeed me

BATTLE IN EAST DELAYED
Sodden Slopes of C%arpathian Noun
tains Hinder Big Movements
Of Soldiers.

Petrograd.-Until the sun dries the
sodden land on the southern slopes or
the Carpathians. 1t is not likely that a
decisive result will be reached In q
great battle.
Meanwhile both sides are bringing
great re-enforcements to the scene.
Germany has sent a quarter OF a MIL
lion men to help in the defense OF
Hungary, but they have been COM
PEELED to fight along the Dunajec, par
ticularly at Tarnow and Gorlice. be-
fore they could reach the roads to
Hungary, where the immediate need
vas greatest. They have lost heavily
and their attack on Gorlice, which the
Russians still hold, was weak.
The Germans have also brought 200
troop trains from Cracow with fresh
corps to cope with the new positions
which the Russians are l~engthening
continuously down the Ondawa.
This is an entirely different battle
from the Carpathian struggle and Is
likely to conclude earlier than the Ger
man movements indicate.
The German generals feel that Aus
tria is dragging Germany down and
that their position has been weakened
by the Russians. Therefore she is in
creasing her strategic initiative
through progress southwark and west
ward.
In Moth Poland they are using great
numbers Of aircraft from dropping
bombs on the Russian positions with
out doing any notable damage. Rus
sian aviators, with fewer but heavie
bombs, are daily crossing into East
Prussia. They attack the German
base encampments below the lines o.
the MaZurian Lakes.

AlRSHIPS RAID ENGLAND
German Airmen Make Effort to De.
stroy English Naval 6ase-little
Damage Done.

London.-Taking advantage OF fine
weather, German airships have made
three recent visits to England. The
last visit was made by a German aero
plane, which flew owe the county OF
Kent, dropping bombs. In all, four
missiles were dropped-in the vicinity
Of the towns of Faversham and Sitting
bourne, the latter just across the Bugle
from the Isle Of Sheppey, which Is the
birthplace of the British royal naval
flying corps.
All OF the bombs fell in fields.
From S%ittingbourne the aeroplane
flew over the Isle of Sheppey and 1t is
thought probable the raider mistook
the towns attacked for Sherness, the
British naval base, which is on the
other side of the island. On his way
the airman passed over Canterbury
and other towns in Kent, but did not
loose n explosives upon or near
them.
Zeppelins, it is believed, also visited
East Anglia and dropped some rs in
cendiary and explosive bombs on Lo.
westoft, Southweld, Maldon, Durham
on-the-Crouch. Heybridge and Tilling
ham, but, like previous raids. only ma
terial damage vas done.

ARMY AIRCRAFT WAS MAKING
FLIGHT OVER FORT BROWN,
NEAR BORDER.
MACHINE LANDS SAFELY
More Than Seventy Shots Are Direct
ed Against Aeroplane by carranza
Soldiers at Matamoros-None
Find Their Mark.

Brownsville.-A United States army
biplane flying over Fort Brown, near
here, was fired upon April 20 by Car
anz soldiers in Matamoros. About
30 rifle shots were directed against
the machine, while simultaneously a
machine gun on the Mexican side from
Fort Brown fired about so shots, di-
rected, it is believed in army circles
here, at the aircraft. The machine
landed safely.
The biplane was piloted by Lieut..
B. @. Jones, with Lieut.. T. ID. Milling
as observer. Both were un-
aware OF the incident until they land
ed about $50 o'clock. The biplane
was not struck. Col. A. P. Rlocksom,
commandant at Fort Brown, reported
the matter by wireless to Maj.-Gen.
Frederick Funston.
Jose Z. Cara, Carranza consul In
Brownsville, made a personal investi-
cation and reported to American army
officers the firing was the work OF a
few Carranza soldiers in command OF
an intoxicated ~sublieutenant. He was
placed under arrest.
Gen. E. P. Nafarrate, commander at
Natamoros, is absent from his post,
but the Carranza consul assured the
American army officers the sub-lieu-
tenant and other guilty parties would
be properly punished upon the return
of Nafarrate. Consul Cara on behalf
Of Gen. Nafarrate apologized to Col,
A. p. Blocksom for the firing on the
American biplane.

LEO N. FRANK MUST DIE
United States Supreme Court Refuses
to Grant Condemned Man
Habeas Corpus.

Washington.-The United States su'
preme court has held that the state OF
Georgia denied Leo NJ. Frank no right
under the federal constitution in SEN
fencing him to death for the murder OF
Mary Phagan. The court affirmed the
action of the federal district court for
northern Georgia, refusing to release
Frank on a writ Of habeas corpus, Jus
tice Pitney announcing the opinion.
Justice Holmes delivered q dissent
ing opinion, in which. Justice Hughes
c~oncurred.
This decision, It is believed here. ex-
hausts all means Of fighting in the
courts to save Franks life. His attor-
neys, however, will have 80 days In
which to file an application for a re-
hearing. At the end OF that time ap-
parently only the possibility Of a par
don will be between the prisoner and
death.
The habeas corpus proceedings rest
ed on the claim that the trial court had
lost Jurisdiction over the prisoner by
reason of mob domination" during the
trial and by Franks involuntary abb
sence at the time the verdict was rem
dered.
The majority Of the court held that
the findings by the supreme court OF
Georgia that the alleged mob domi'
nance" amounted to nothing more than
Irregularities, not prejudicial to Frank,
should not be disturbed upon the mere
assertions of the prisoner that the
facts were otherwise than as found.
Atlanta. Ga.-Leo M. Franks attor-
neys, when informed Of the decision
Of the United States supreme court.
said that they believed that every
means in Franks behalf berofe the
courts now had been exhausted. They
added that they now probably would
prepare = petition for presentation be-
fore the Georgia prison commission
asking for Communication Of Franks
sentence.
81 am very much disappointed over
the supreme courts decision, but will
keep up the fight" said Leo M. Frank
when informed that his habeas corpus
case had gone against him. He refused
to add to this statement.
