Berlin, July N.-(Correspondence OF The
Annotated Press).-Attacks that in Bit
terness and determination beggar de-
..cription. losses that run into the thous-
'ands. desperate, heroic, useless infantry
assaults following hour-long artillery
fire. have characterized the terrible
struggle between the Italian and Aus
,trian forces along the lower 1sonzo
river.
When the war shall have ended, 1t Is
doubtful whether Neuve Chapelle and
Ypres will stand out moro grimly terrible
than some Of the bloody battles OF early
July along the Austro-Italian frontier.
Correspondents Description
picture Of the green Isonzo literally
afioat with bodies, Of the meadows and
fields along its course veritable sham
bles, Of whole companies and battaltons
wiped out of existence on both sides, or
night attacks checked by ghost-like
searchlights and Of artillery fire wither-
ing and destroying everything in its
path, is drawn by Leonhard Adelt, cor
respondent of the Berliner Tageblatt. in
a dispatch from the Isonzo frontier.
Adelt sketches dramatically the events
leading up to the fearful Italian attacks,
the secrecy of the preparations. the ter
rible strain of withstanding them when
they did come, and the bravery displayed
on both sides. His dispatch is in part
as follows
I'm single file the Dalmatians CROPPED
their way up the path through the woods
to the saddle of the PLAYA heights. Soon
they could hear the rasp of spades and
the hack Of picks. and took their ap-
pointed places in the shelters that, shot
to pieces by the Italians in the daytime,
are repaired again each night.
The Night Of July q
ION the night Of July 1t was unusu-
ally still on both sides. The ghost-like
arm Of our searchlight CROPPED its way
along the Notifications of the enemy, the
bags of sand which looked like rows OF
dead men. The white shaft of light In
one Of its journeys revealed the enemy's
sappers. lying fiat behind rocks. their
faces distinguishable through a glass In
the bright light.
They had placed iron tubes with
explosive under the barbed wire en-
itanglements and when they found
themselves discovered they rose fear
llessly and advanced. A few of the
mines exploded. carrying upward
tangled wires, posts and stones. But
before the Italians could get to our
trenches the rifles opened fire and the
lsappers dropped, annihilated.

fhind every stone and bush, there were

DECLARATION
K, C, RELIGIOUS
PREFERENCES

Seattle. Wash, Aug. 3.-The Su-
preme Council Of the Knights Of CO.
lumbus, in convention here, received
today the report Of the Commission
on religious prejudices which express
ed the belief that american fair play
will prevail over religious bigotry."
The report. presented by Col. r. II.
Callahan. chairman, expressed salts
faction for aid by the general public
and special mention was made OF the
fairness shown by The Associated
Press and newspapers IN general re-
garding religious matters.
Seven recommendations were at
tached to the report. The first Of
these declared a principal cause for
prejudice against Catholics arose from
an erroneous belief among non-Cath-
olics that we owe such allegiance to
the Pope as is incompatible with pro-
per allegiance to our country"
I'VE should lose no proper occasion
to declare the position of Catholics"
stated the report and the teachings
of the Church on this matter, namely:
That while Catholics acknowledge the
Pope to be supreme in spiritual mat
tiers, they do not hold that he has any
authority in civil matters. If any
spiritual authority were to direct us
to do any act contrary to the rights
Of free citizens, or the welfare of So
ciety we would be bound to disobey."
! The report declared that Catholics
uphold and support the public school
| system, but feel that religious in
struction is necessary, and therefore
1 avtr
schools. An opinion was expressed
| ligion will be taught in free schools.
The report condemns the action OF
politicians in raising religious issues
in campaigns, as well as the activities
of quasi-political societies in discrimi-
mating against persons of any faith.
1t was recommended that the commits
sion be made permanent.
The report of the secretary stated
s1,921. 94304 was collected during the
past year. and that the assets of the
order exclusive of special funds, are
nearly $6,000,000. There are now near
ly 100000 members.
| The delegates to the supreme coun-
Gil attended high mass at ST. James
Cathedral, celebrated by Archbishop
Bonano, the papal delegates, before
opening their annual session. Ad
dresses of welcome were delivered be-
fore the council by Governor Ernest
/; Lister, Supreme Justice Chadwick,
Mayor Hiram c. Gill and Thomas
| Burke. president of the Seattle Cham
Der of Commerce. Supreme Knight
James A. Flaherty responded. A sec
ond session of the council was held
this afternoon.

PACIFICATION PLANS
Continued From Page I }

June 9 Announcement of the plan was
held up until each of the diplomats
had received the sanction of his gov
eminent to participate in the confer
ence, a step made necessary by the
fact that the affairs of third coun-
try-Mexico-were to be reviewed
Thursday.
All details of President Wilson's
plan for settlement of the Mexican
problem have not, it is reported, been
communicated to the six Southern
governments, but their representatives
who are to take part in the confer
ence have been given in confidence
general outline of what is to be pro-
posed by the Washington administra-
ton Prompt and determined action, it
is declared, is the foundation of the
Presidents plan, which will be sub
mitted to the conference by Secretary
Lansing.
The First Step
1t is believed the first step propos-
ed will be a final appeal to Mexican
leaders to end hostlities and arrange
for restoration of constitutional gov
eminent by peaceful means. A time
limit for compliance, it is thought, will
be suggested.
Possible Outcome
Should this be ignored by any OF
the Mexican factions, the plan is said
to include procedure to promote estab-
lishment by the other factions of a
government to be supported morally
and financially by the United States
and other American governments. An
embargo on munitions of war would
be imposed. it is said, against revolt
ing factions.
Demand will be made for immediate
relief of the food situation in Mex
leo City and maintenance Of railroad
and telegraphic communication be-
tween Vera Cruz and Mexico City, it
is understood. If Mexican leaders can
not do this, the United States, aided
possibly by the Latin American gov
| ernments, may find it necessary to
take physical control of the capital
and the railroad by force and hold Vt
until peace is restored
Replying to questions today, Secretary
Lansing said the sending of troops into
Mexico City to take food to starving
Americans and other foreigners could
| not be considered an act of war. He
| cited the action of the United States
| and other powers in China during the
Boxer rebellion. Mr.. Lansing would not
| say however, that such a plan was in
contemplation. Reports from Vera Cruz
| tonight announced the formal entrance
of General Gonzales into Mexico City.
| The Associated Press received a direct
report telling today Of the arrived O,
food supplies with Gonzales forces. Dur.
ing the day reports of border raids b,
Mexican bandits came from General
Funston, several American soldiers hav.
ing been wounded in the pursuit Of thu
raiders. One party Of filibusters wa,
completed by the troopers with a suppl,
or guns and ammunition. They were
turned over to legal officials for prose
| cution.
One message transmitted by Genera
Funston said Governor Ferguson O,
Texas had been urged to call for NOR,
| federal troops or to send state militia
to protect Brownsville and vicinity from
raiders. General Funston said the fore,
now at Brownsville was sufficient to han
die the situation.

stand by the law. There were practical
ly no Maine coasters west of Pine Point
who refused to enter the agreement, and
in this recent investigation trip the war
dens report that two or three of these
few were the only ones in certain local
tiles whom they did not find breaking the
law.
Hides were discovered at nearly every
turn, and the wardens visited every inlet
from Portland to kittery. At Cape Por-
poise Holsters were liberated, SO small
that a fisherman engaged in business
there for years said that he did not be-
lieve any fisherman would have taken
Holsters of such diminutive size, much
less so after the compact was signed.
Boston was apparently the destination of
practically all the shorts and what
can be done to efficiently stop such fla
grant abuse of the law and the shipment
of such small Holsters is Il vexing ques-
ton to all the wardens.

CORRECT ANSWER.

A Canadian named Casey was ap-
pointed to government place. Technic-
ally it had TO be held by lawyer,
which Casey was not. The benchers of

obviate the technicality.
"Well, Casey" said the examiner,
"what do you know about law, any
way?'
.'To tell the TRUTH replied the can

The examiner reported in his affidavit
chat he had examined Mr.. Casey as to
his knowledge of the law and, to the
best of lis information and belief, he
had answered the questions that he had
put to him correctly The aspirant
was therefore admitted.

If YOU have a gray-haired mother
In the old home far away,
Sit down and write the letter
You put off day by day.
Don't wait until her tired steps
Reach heavens pearly gates,
But show her that you think OF her
Before it is too late.
If you've tender message
Or loving word to say.
Don't wait till you forget it.
But whisper it today.
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you if you waitf
So make your loved ones happy,
Before II is too late.
We live but in the present,
The future Is unknown.
Tomorrow is n mystery,
Today is all our own.
The chance that fortune leads to
May vanish while you wait,
So spend your life's rich pleasures
Before it is too late.
The tender words unspoken,
The letters never sent,
The long forgotten messages,
The wealth Of love unspent.
For these some hearts are breaking,
For these some loved ones wait;
So show them that you care for them
Before it is too late.
