AUSTRIANS IN RETREAT
ITALIANS PUSHING FOE BACK AT
TWO POINTS.
Teutons Blow Up Bridges and Destroy
Railroads as They Retire-Storm
Monte Rombon.

Milan, Aug. 30.-The Austrians are
in full retreat at two points. One is in
the Val Sugana, where they are blow
ing up bridges and viaducts and de-
stroying all roads and railways as
they retire. The other is in the re-
gion of the upper Isonzo, where the
Italian Alpini are wrestling an impor-
tant mountain summit from the Aus
trian grip.
The latest official reports show that
the Italians are now well advanced
beyond Plezzo and are attacking the
summit Of Monte Rombon, 5000 feet
high, which overlooks the valley of
the Coritenza, tributary Of the Ison-
20, and also commands the highway
that eliminates in Predil pass at a
height of $500 feet and thence de-
sends into the Zebach valley, where
the Italians captured positions about
a week ago.
The Austrians are in a precarious
position at Jarvis, as we'll as at Tolmi-
no and GoritZ, not to mention the
strong series Of defenses they lost in
the Val Sugana.

RECORD WILL BE KEPT
GOV. TO OPEN BOOKS TO KEEP
TAB ON MONEY SPENT.
Plans System Whereby Expenditures
of All Departments VIII BE
Accurately Disclosed.

Madison.-Close tab is to be kept
on the expenditures of each state
board and department, according TO
plan outlined in statement given out
by Gov. Philip.
The statement, after explaining how
the $4,000 appropriation for ascertain
ing the financial condition of the state
at the end of each year had inadver-
tently been repealed, says:
''It is my purpose to open set OF
books crediting to every board or de-
partment the sum which each Is au-
thorized to receive and which is avail
able for the total expenses OF the de-
partment. An itemized statement OF
all expenditures is to be furnished
monthly by each board or department.
This will be charged back against the
fund credited. The balance remaining
in the fund will at all times be readily
determined. It is my purpose to see
that state finances are conducted In
the same manner as well regulated
business institution would conduct its
affairs.

BATTLE HIGH IN THE AIR
Hand Combat on Edge Of
Precipices.

Rome, Sept. Fighting on the
edge of precipices and engaging in
hand-to-hand combats on crags high
in the air, the Italians soldiers at
tempting to take the Austrian posi-
tons on Monte Rombon, in the upper
Isonzo region, are slowly but steadily
gaining ground, according to a dis
patch received from Udine.
The Alpine troops have already as
cended the mountain for 5000 feet
but the Austrians hold the summit
1000 feet above. An entire company
of Alpine troops was swept away Sat
urday when the Austrians loosened
an avalanche of rocks.
Another company narrowly es-
capped the same fate, but these men
assembled the steep path made by
the avalanche and gained 1000 feet
before the Austrians were able to
check them with their rife fire.

RIGHT TO SEARCH GRANTED
Attorney General Rules, However,
Wardens Should Not Be Too
Suspicious.

Madison.-If a game warden has
good reason to believe that traveller
has fish or game concealed illicitly in
his suit case, satchel, trunk or carpet
bag he, the game warden, is given
authority under the police regulation
to make search and discover if his
suspicion is well founded Such is the
opinion of Atty-Gen. Owen given to
the conservation commission. But the
attorney general offers word of eau
ton in suggestion that the game
warden must not permit his curiosity
to lead him to unwarranted exploration,
in other words, must not search the
gripsacks of the way farer just for the
fun of the thing.

WILL BOW TO U. S.
GERMANY AND GREAT BRITAIN
TO MAKE CONCESSIONS TO
UNITED STATES.
MEDIATION HOPE is SEEN
Modification of Blockade and Subma-
rine Warfare May Lead Wilson
Again to Offer His Good Of
fees.

Washington, Sept. 1.-State depart
ment officials expressed the opinion
that the way is being cleared rapidly
for another effort by the United States
to get England and Germany to agree
to the principle of the freedom of the
seas with direct bearing on the re-
opening Of neutral trade with Ger
many.
A long cable message was received
by Secretary of State Lansing from
Ambassador Gerard relating to the
Arabic case and was of sufficient i'm
portance to require a, visit Of Mr..
Lansing to the White House. Mr..
Lansing declined to state even the sub
ject matter of the cablegram. but it
is known that it contained discus
sion of internal politics at Berlin. and
the Arabic case, and the general pros
poets of the terms on which an agree
ment between the United States and
Germany might be predicated.
After the receipt of this dispatch
from Mr. Gerard, the British ambassa.
dor, Sir Cecil SpringRice called on
the state department trade advisers
and on other officials of the state de-
partment.
After these two developments, 1t
was indicated very strongly that
Great Britain was willing to modify
the orders in council so far as they
affected the export of dye stuffs from
Germany and millions of dollars
worth of goods held at Rotterdam
under contract for shipment to the
United States.
State department authorities, read
ing between the lines of what they
have from the German foreign office,
seem to think that Germany will
frankly disavow the act of the COM
mander of the submarine who at
tackled the Arabic if he did not give
the warning required by international
law and demanded by this govern
ment. They say that a great point
will be thus gained and that the next
step would be easy for Germany to
abandon all attacks on unarmed mer.
chant vessels. This would pave the
way for second suggestion to Great
Britain by the United States in line
with the Identical note of February
20. That note was a distinct offer of
mediation, provided that England and
Germany would make mutual conces.

TRY TO WRECK Train
PLOT TO BLOW UP POWDER FOR
THE ALLIES Baked AT
GARY, IND.
RAILS WERE TAMPERED WITH
Employee Of the Aetna Works Dis
covers Damaged Track-PIants Are
Placed Under Heavy Guard-Excite-
ment Running High.

Gary, Ind, Aug. 31.-An apparent
attempt to wreck a train carrying
enough guncotton to blow up the
whole city of Gary was discovered on
Saturday at the height of excitement
which has developed with the secret
agitation and spying revealed in the
search for the motive and murderers
in the case of Rev. Edmund Kayser.
Fifty feet north of the Aetna Pow
der works, three miles east of Gary,
the storm center of plots against ship
ment of war munitions to England,
an effort to derail train due to leave
the works Sunday for the East was
discovered.
The rivets of a plate holding to-
gether the ends Of two rails had been
pried or chiseled off and the end of
one Of the rails had been crowbarred
about six inches out of line.
The discovery was made before the
train started by Anton Slazatoski. an
employee of the powder works.
Armed guards are marching about
the plants and spies are at work for
both parties of the European strife.
Eighty per cent of the Gary popula-
ton is composed of foreigners. almost
all of whom have personal and warm
interests in the outcome, and every
body in Gary suspects his neighbor of
being foreign secret service agent.
Excitement is running high in the re-
mote nIlarfarS of fh0 cffv and nllm0r-
GUS fights and flrearm scrapes have
followed the disclosures and conjec-
lures.
Acton, Mass, Aug. 31.-The glazing
mill of the American Powder company
was blown up at $3.50 o'clock Sunday.
Murray Ballou, president Of the COM
pany, would not attempt to place the
responsibility. Armed guards are now
patrolling the vicinity of the mills.

Washington, Aug. Secretary

Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood, expressing
his depreciation that opportunity was

1000 DIE ON TRANSPORT?
ans Reported Torpedoed Off
ScilIy Islands.

Berlin. by wireless, Aug. 31.-Pas-
sengers who arrived alta Amsterdam on
the Holland-American steamship Ryn-
dam brought report that a British
transport carrying 1000 Canadian
troops was torpedoed on August Is
off the Scilly islands 1t is said that
about 1000 were saved.
No hint has come from British
sources of the foregoing report. While
it is possible that, had such an event
occurred, the British censors might
have withheld the news. this IS i'm
probable in view of the fact that Of
fetal announcement was made prompt
ly of the torpecoing of the British
transport Royal George in the Aegean
sea, with the loss of about 1000 men.
