Northcliffe

London, Nov. 30-Sir John Simon. Sec
notice on Lord Northcliffe today in the
House of Commons that if the gentler
way heretofore pursued to induce his
newspapers to stop the continual fouling
of his own nest" did not prove effective
''it was perfectly possible to take strong
er measures"
Il do not know Lord Northcliffe," said
the home secretary, but he appears to
be gentleman with the curious habit of
always itching to destroy the things he
has made. Like the prophets of Baal, he
leaps on the affairs he has made"
The subject arose over an attack by
Northclffe papers on Sir John Simon in
consequence of a reply the latter recent
ly made to a question in the House of
Commons in which the home secretary
intimated that utterances in the Times
Were quoted gleefully by newspapers in
hostile countries and were proving harm
full to the national interests. The Times
insnuated that the whole matter was a
conspiracy to injure the newspaper and
today Sir John made personal explana-
ton to the Commons alleging and quot
ing instances to show how Harmsworth
papers had put out a Constant stream
Of material of depressing tendency,
which was eagerly seized upon by Ger
many. In one week in October" he add
ed, "the Cologne Gazette on four days
made use of material to show that the
British people were disunited and beat

Mindful of opposition within the

CLARK Likely to Win Out
A president pro tempore of the Sen
ate and vice chairman of the caucus
will be elected tomorrow. While some
opposition has beer expressed to re-
election of Senator Clark of Arkansas
as president pro tempore, because OF
his revolt last session against the snip

peared to oppose him and his election
seemed assured tonight.
Several senators. it is said plan to

Vienna, Nov. 3O-(Via London).-The
The communication of the Austro-Hun-
garian was Office issued today says:
There is nothing new to report from
the Russian front.
ION the Italian front it becomes clearer
that the Italians will at all costs force a
victory near Gorilla if it is at all possible
to do so. Yesterday their attacks were
directed against the entire front from
Tolmino to the sea and with special Sc
verify against both our bridgeheads and
the northern part Of the plateau Of Do
berdo.
The attacks against our mountain po-
sitions north of Tolmino collapsed. The
bridgehead of Tolmino was kept under
an incessant fire the whole of the after
noon. Three strong attacks against the
northern sector and several weaker ones
against the southern sector followed. All
were repulsed with the severest Of enemy
losses. Several attacks against PLAYA
also were unsuccessful.
Before the bridgehead of Gorilla very
strong Italian forces gathered from all
fronts Of the enemy yesterday attacked
only Oslavia. We withdrew a little from
a small portion of the front.
During the night Gorilla again was
bombarded with some hundred shells Of
heavy calibre. In the Doberdo sector
after four hours of artillery preparation
the enemy began especially severe and
stubborn attacks against Monte San Mi
chel and the district of San MARITIME.

CLAIM LINES TO
BE INTERSTATE

New York, Nov. 30.-The prospects
at adjournment Of today's session of
the trial of the II former directors of
the New York. New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad under the Sherman
antitrust law were that one of the
most important phases of the govern
ment's case against the defendants
would be ruled out, as irrevelant.
Testimony Concerned
This was the acquisition of the New
York, Westminster & Boston and the
New York & Port Chester lines, which
the government maintains were bought
up by the New Haven to prevent them
from being projected from New York
City into New England in competition
with the New Haven. After an entire
day passed in argument and in the in
PRODUCTION Of evidence by both sides
to support their contentious, Federal
Judge Hunt announced that he did not
think that the government had pre-
sented proof sufficient to justify it's
contention that the roads were pro-
jected for the purpose Of carrying on
interstate commerce. The defense con-
tended that the lines were not pro-
jected beyond the limits of the state
of New York and therefore being in
translate lines were not amenable to
the interstate application Of the Sher-
man law.
Judge Studies Evidence
Judge Hunt said that he would
study the evidence over night and
would allow both sides to present
amendments on the point before rem
dering his decision. Charles S. Mellen
testified that he had never heard that
the New York, Westchester & Boston,
the major Of the two lines, was pro-
jected by its promoters beyond the
New York State line and swore that
the New Haven had no such purpose
at the time Of it's acquisition in 1909
and 1907.

also stated that one of the purposes in
