The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1915-05-20

In the social and personal col
ums of the Saltwater Gazette, last
Monday, the engagement of Miss
Ella Dupuis, of Saltwater, to Mr..
William Callahan, of Mpls., is an
nounced. Miss Dupuis was for a
long time-some ten years or more
employed as a stenographer in the
Twine department at this institu-
ton, severing her connection but a
short time ago. 1t is understood that
the marriage will take place at an
early date. Mr.. Callahan is certain
ly lucky man, but then he knows
that, SO it is hardly necessary for
us to inform him of his extreme
good fortune.

L titles,

New York, May 25-,John Burke

partment of the Panama railroad in
dicted for conspiracy to defraud the
government in accepting commissions
in connection with tobacco contracts,
appeared as a government witness to-
day at. the trial Of Jacob Salas, a to-
bacco merchant, one Of the alleged
participants in the conspiracy.
Having waived immunity, Burke

ment with Salas and Ricardo BerTnu-
dez, former governor of Colon, also
under indictment, under which he was
to purchase tobacco from them for the
commissary department and receive an
interest in the profits made therefrom.
Burke identified eleven drafts, totalling
nearly $4,000. which he said he re-
ceived in payment on account of his
interest in the tobacco sales.

Major General George w. Goethals,
governor of the canal zone, who tes-
titled chiefly as to the status of the

AMERICAN PACKERS
TROUBLES WITH BRITISH.
Are in Fair Way of Being Settled
Conference to Be Held Today.

Washington, May 25.-Indications
that American packers are about to
succeed in moving the British gov
ernment to action toward settling
claims for detained cargoes of meat
products consigned to neutral coun-
tries became apparent here late to-
day after conferences between rep
resentatives of the packers and state
department officials and Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, British ambassador.
After asking the state department to
take UP the subject of expediting
case pending for months in British
prize courts, the packers withdraw
their request pending further con-
ferences tomorrow with Ambassador
Spring Rice and Sir Richard Craw-
ford, commercial representative of the
embassy.
1--WE expect to make statement of
the situation tomorrow said Alfred
R. Urion, general counsel for the
packers tonight 1--WE have had a
conference with the British ambassa-
dor and hope to clear the atmosphere
surrounding these matters in the near
future Pending further negotiations,
however, we wish to withhold any
general statement"

ITALY SENDS NOTE TO
NEUTRAL GOVERNMENTS
Explaining Her Reasons for Deciar-
ing War on Austria.

Washington, May 25.-Italy has ad-
dressed to the neutral governments of
the world a lengthy communication
explaining her reasons for declaring
war on Austria. Count Di Cellere, the
Italian ambassador. presented the doc
ument to Secretary Bryan today in
the form of a note to the United States
government.
It reviews negotiations between
Italy and Austria, revealing that they
began Immediately upon the despatch
of AuStria's ultimatum to Serbia. Italy
claimed then that the action of Aus
tria disturbed the equilibrium of the
Balkans and the peace of Europe in a
way that vitality affected Italian inter
ests. AS an ally of Austria, Italy as
sertS the right to have been consult
ed before the sending of the ultima
tum, the first news of which was re-
ceiVed through the newspapers Fail
ing. to obtain through diplomacy the
satisfaction of her territorial and ma
tional aspirations, Italy announces in
the note that q declaration of war was
the only means of safeguarding her
position in Europe.
The document takes its place in
state department archives along with
the other notes and messages received
at the outbreak of war from the for
eign offices of Europe explaining the
positions of the respective governments
and their reasons for action. None of
these has been published, although the
European governments have covered
substantially the same ground in the
various pamphlets detailing the diplo-
matte negotiations prior to the declar-
ationS of war.

SHIPMENTS OF OIL
TO HOLLAND SUSPENDED.
Reason For Action, Which is Only
Temporary, Not DivuIged.

New York, May 25.-AIl shipments
of cotton seed oil, lubricating oils and
grease to Holland from American
ports have been temporarily suspend
ed by order of The Netherlands Over
seas Trust, it was announced here to-
day. A speedy adjustment of the
order of suspension is anticipated and
shoipments, it is thought will be re-
sumed within a few days.
Announcement of the suspension
was made by the Holland American
line which has handled the bulk of
shipments from this port for Hol-
land. The American cotton oil COM
pany admitted that shipments to Hol-
land had been suspended but it was
said on behalf of the company that
the suspension was thought to be only
temporary.
Why The Netherlands Overseas
Trust, through which all shipments to
Holland have been made. should have
issued the order was not divulged. AT
that the reason for the suspension
was not understood
I'VE believe that it is largely a mat
ter of exchanging a few cablegrams,
a representative of the line said, land
that we can straighten matters out ir
this way within a short time"
Holland at present is one of the
largest importers of cotton seed OF
The bulk of the foreign shipments Of
this commodity go to Rotterdam an6
TO British and Italian ports. Consid-
cradle tonnage of cotton seed oil, il
was said at the HolIand-AmericaI
line, had been booked for future ship
ment to Holland by its steamers.

IMPORTANT PROGRESS
MADE BY THE ALLIES.
AZ Various Points, According to
French Official Statement,

Paris, May 25, 1895 p. m-The- Of
fcial communication issued by the
war office tonight announces that i'm
portant progress has been made by
the allies to the north of Arras and
that one of the large German trench
es in the neighborhood of Souchez, for
the possession of which fighting has
been going on for more than two
weeks, has been captured. The text
is as follows:
ITO the north of Arras our attacks
today have resulted in important pro-
gress. To the northwest of Angres
(south of La Bassee) in front of
Fosse Oalonne, we carried the salient
of aJarge enemy work, called Cor
nailles. In the same region OUT
troops took by assault another Ger
man work which was very strongly
fortified.
More to the south, to the east
of the road from Aix-Noulette to
Souchaz we have captured on a front
of one kilometre Ctwo-thirds of a
mile) the whole of a great trench,
where the enemy has been resisting
for fifteen days.
ITO the west of the same road we
have made very appreciab1e progress
in the region Of the Fonde De Buval
our success to which the artillery of
the enemy posted at Angres and the
defensive organizations, which was
particularly strong, had prevented un-
I'VE have gained some ground to
the west of Souchez near the Chateau
Cartel.
"On the rest of the front there is
nothing to report"
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1915-05-26

The Austro-Italian campaign has
developed little thus far beyond the
pushing forward of the Italian ad-
vance guards, who have crossed the
frontier and occupied several small
towns in the direction of Trieste and
a raid by Austrian warships and aero
planes on several of the Italian coast
towns. There are indications that
the Italians are developing strong
offensive movement, particularly in
the direction of Istria, the possession
of which would be a supreme strate-
gbcal Importance to them
The campaign sin the old theathes
of war, the east and the west, are oc-
cupying the attention of vast bodies of
troops along these fronts. North of
Przemysl, in Galicia, the Austro- Ger
mans, under General Won Mackenzen,
are engaged in a powerful drive
against the Russian lines and have,
according to official statements COM
ing from both Vienna and Berlin, talk
en- an additional 21,O00 prisoners, 80
cannon and forty machine guns.
In the west the British have not
been able to hold all of their lines
against the German assault, but the
French report important progress to
the north of Arras, the capture of one
of the great German trenches in the
neighborhood of Souchez and two i'm
portant German works to the north
west Of Angres, which permitted them
to advance over territory from which
they had previously been barred.
The nature of the fighting that is
going on in the Dardanelles can be
inferred from an official statement is
sued at London, which, telling Of an
agreement f&' a suspension of hostih-
ties for the burial of the dead, says:
Over 5000 Turks were buried-a1l
killed between May rs and 20-and a
casualty list just published, giving the
names of 919 Australians, killed and
wounded in the Dardanelles operat-
tions. The statement reports consid-
cradle progress by both French and
British on the Gallipoh peninsular."

POLICE AT A STANDSTILL
IN BRIDGEPORT MYSTERY
Thought Body Was That of Mrs.
Weidenheimer Until She Walked
Into Station.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, May 25.-After
running down what seemed to be sew
eral hopeful clues, the police tonight
again are at a standstil toward un-
ravelling the mystery, surrounding the
finding of the dismembered body of a
woman on the shores of Yellow Mill
Pond on Monday
The police thought the body might
have been that of Mrs. John Weiden-
heimer of Milford, who had not been
heard fro mfor some time, but this
theory was exploded when Mrs. Weld
enheimer walked into police head
quarters tonight to express her indig-
nation that her name was mentioned
in the case. A handbag, containing
her name and some letters, was found
near the scene two months ago, which
led the police to believe that she might
have been the victim.
Workmef were busy all day digging
up the lot where the torso was found
in the hope of finding other parts of
the body or further evidence, but to
no avail,
