many and every government which in
any way has infringed upon the rights
of this country, the letter concludes
with the following declaration on the
much-discussed question of exporta'

Those in this country who sympa-

gary appear to assume that some OBJ
legation rests upon this government,
in the performance of its neutral duty,
to prevent all trade in co%nyraband, and
thus to equalize the difference due to
the relative naval strength of the bel

its markets to the allies. The markets

Ship Bill Party Measure.
Senate democrats in caucus reached
final agreement on the administration
ship purchase bill and adopted a reso-
luton making it a party measure.
Three democrats voted against the
resolution, but the vote later was
made unanimous.
The principal difference of opinion
in caucus arose on Senator Hoke
Smiths proposal that with the restor-
alton of normal conditions at the end
of the European war, the government
lease the ships purchased to private
corporations for operation instead Of
operating them through a government
controlled corporation. This amend
ment was defeated.
AS perfected in caucus, the bill pro
vides for a shipping board to consist
of the secretary of the treasury, the
secretary of commerce and three civil
ians to be appointed by the president,
with the consent of the senate, This
amendment was a compromise with a
proposal submitted by Senator Bank
head. In the original bill the shipping
board to control affairs of the pro
posed corporation would have con-
sisted of the secretaries of treasury
and commerce and the postmaster
general, with no civilians.

and Guns.

LONDON, Sept 25.-The great
drive of the allies has carried them
far into the German positions from
the sea to Verdun for a greater gain
than they have registered since the
battle of the Marine. In two days the
allies have taken more than 10000
numbered amount of machine guns
and vast quantities Of material. They
have pierced the German positions in
Champagne, on a front Of more than
Is miles, to a depth ranging from
two-thirds of mile to two niles;
have occupied hill No. 70, only laile
north of Lens; part of the mining
section Of northern France, and
threaten to outfank the Germans
there; have Occupied the entire village
of Souchez, north Of Arras and have
broken the German front on both
sides of LaBasse canal, for a width
of five miles and a depth of 1000
yards, capturing the village Of Loos.

terrific conflict, which is still raging
furiously with no signs of abatement.
Thousands of bodies are lying unburi-
ed for more than 100 miles.
The allies are on the offensive
everywhere, according to reports from
Field Marshal Sir John French, in
command of the British, and official
communique of the war office at Paris.
On every section Of the front trey
have cut deeply into the German
lines, menacing the Teuton positions
around Verdun, where the Crown
Price spent thousands of lives and be-
fore Lens, the great mining city. In
Champagne and to the north Of Arras
the French have made particularly
heavy gains. Every yard taken in
the former district adds peril to the
dangerous German salient before YER
dun, while in the latter sector the
allies have already attained greater
results than they did in month Of
fighting last May.
