Peace Mission.

| Washington, Oct. 30-Whether il
will be the United States or Spain
President Wilson or King Alfonso
that will mediate in Europe's war, was
| the absorbing question in both official
| and diplomatic quarters as a result of
| renewed and intense interest here and
in Europe's capitals regarding peace
terms.
THE great war is now being fought
in the capitals of Europe" one cab
met member in close touch with the
situation said. "The soldiers are not

is being waged in Paris, London, Pet
rograd and Berlin. The political situ-
ations developing at those points look
as If the end is near.
Spain as Mediator.
Many members of the diplomatic
corps here believe Spain, rather than
the United States, because of this
country's disputes with both Germany
and England, will be the active medi-
ator of the war. Spain has not en-
tered into any commercial or other
disputes.
Unofficial information from Ger
many is also to the effect that the
United States is not in the best posi-
tfon to be the chief factor.
American Ambassador Gerard's long
conference with the kaiser is believed
by many officials here to have
launched the new discussion of peace
in the foreign capitals.

erings not only between English Off

Geneva, Oct 80. - Announcing

definite formula for presentation by
the pope to the Allies with a view to
ending the war.

gan, former chief of police of st.

charge of accepting protection
money from women in st. Paul's seq
regated district, and Fred o. Turner,
former st. Paul detective sentenced
with him on the same charge, have
been granted parole by the state par
don board.
Both were discharged from the.
penitentiary. At the prison gates, Mr..

their little daughter, who escorted him
home, where he insisted on spending
the evening in seclusion. When sew
eral hundred of his friends appeared
to serenade him and welcome him to.
st. Paul and liberty, the former st.

Must Report to Warden.
The conditions of Flanagans parole
are that he must procure Legitimate"
employment and must report to the
warden of the state penitentiary once
month. Otherwise he is free to act
as he chooses.
Flanagan was sentenced in April,
1914, after members of the Citizens
council of st. Paul had gathered evil
dence tending to show he had been
paid ''hush money" and protection
fees by women in a certain district
and by certain gambling establish
He made the defense, he
didn't know what was going on and
that the collections, if any, had been
made by his detectives or subordin-

Serbian official statement.
Udine, Italy, Oct. 30.-News of the
great Italian offensive all along the
Isonzo front is being brought down by
the wounded and the men of the con-
voys which are escorting Austrian
prisoners to the rear. In three days
over 5000 prisoners have passed
through Udine, which gives some idea
of the magnitude of the operations.
All the soldiers agree that the ar
tillery preparation preceding the Of
fensive, lasting three days, was appa1-
ling.
IF it was an inferno for u.s. said
wounded gunner, 'how much worse
was it for those yonder, where shells
burst?"
Learn Tricks of Enemy.
The Italian soldiers assert with
pride that they are now reaping the
benefit of systematic destruction of
the Austrian observatory points on
the mountain peaks, mastered after
fierce struggles during the past
months and the lack of which, they
say, has greatly decreased the accu-
racy of the aim of the Austrians. The
men say that six months of warfare
has enabled them to understand the
tricks of their opponents.
When the italian artillery prepared
the way for an infantry attack ON the
entertainments, the soldiers declare,
the Austrians would retire. When
the artillery ceased firing for the pur-
pose of allowing infantry to cover the
ground between the opposing posi-
tions, the Austrians would reoccupy
their entrenchments with double |
forces. When finally the Italians dis |
covered these tactics they adopted a |
ruse to catch the Austrians.
Austrian Dead Fill Trenches.
After the artillery had ceased fir
ing, the Italians, according to the sol
diers, permitted an interval to elapse,
sufficient for the Austrians to return
to their trenches. Then they re-oped-
ed fire with their artillery and later
and when the infantry reach
ed the trenches they were literally
filed with the bodies of dead Aus
trians.
1--WE are now solidly in possession
Of trenches and positions like Gina
Fredda, the hinge of the formidable
triangular defense of Tolmino, which
the enemy seemed determined to hold
at any COST" said an officer. "In the
fierce struggle in the neighborhood
,f Gorilla, where the Austrians had
large reinforcements,
he Austrians were finally repulsed. |
As they retreated the Austrians set
Ire to long tract of country, making
. wall of fire to protect them from
