OPPOSE SECRET
VIVIAN HEARING

Paris, Aug. 25.-Doubts and Difficult
ties confront the politicians who
planned to hold secret session of the
Chamber of Deputies tomorrow, at
which Premier Viviani would reply to
criticisms of the conduct of the war.
Several departmental and general
councils have pronounced against such
a step.
The Republican and Democratic left
groups have decided to oppose secret
session, the Radicals are hesitating and
the Socialists are divided. The gen.
eral opinion of the Socialists seems
60 be that they should vote for the ap-
preparations for Under Secretaries Of
War for Sanitation and Commissary
and then propose TO hear the reports
of the Chambers budget and military
committees at a secret session later,
with the possibility of a debate.
The party organizations will caucus
tomorrow morning to decide what to
do. Premier Viviani, II is believed,
will take the floor soon after the ses-
sion opens to state what the govern
ment will agree TO do, leaving the
Chamber to decide on its course.

German Spies Sought
by u. S. in Philadelphia
Lar relesr,ph o Th. Trlbune ]

Philadelphia. Aug. 25. Working with
the utmost secrecy for two weeks.
every available agent of the Depart
ment of Justice has been investigating
an alleged German spy system in this
city. Action. it is said. was taken on
urgent orders from government ON
Gals at Washington. with the result
that routine work of the local office
has been halted and the energies Of the
special agents concentrated on the work
of tracing the supposed spies.
Particular attention is being paid to
the newspaper bulletin boards, where
foreign born residents congregate daily
and discuss the progress of the war.
Government officials noticed that IN
these daily gatherings were men who.
while well dressed. seemed 10 have
nothing else TO do but talk. Rumors
connected some of these men with Ger
man spy work
Secret Service agents mingled with
these crowds. The men suspected were
put under close surveillance.
All English steamships in this port
that are shipping men also are closely
scrutinized. Scarcely a vessel that ar
rives in this port does not need men
before she sails. as the old crew usu-
ally deserts rather than take a chance
on mines and submarines on the re-
turn voyage. Il is said that one ac
tivity of the so-called system is 10 try
and ship Germans on outgoing vessels
of the Allies TO do whatever they can
in the interests OF Germany.

Berlin. Aug. 25 (via London).-
Socialist newspapers publish the re-
suits of peace conferences between the

bers of the party committee and sum-
marie them as follows:
Peace must be permanent and lead
European nations to closer relations.
Germany's opponents must not be
permitted to acquire any German terri
tory. -,
Most favored nation clauses should
be introduced into peace treaties with
all belligerents.
Tariff walls should be removed.
So far as possible freedom Of the
seas should be established. the right Of
capture abolished and "narrows i'm.
portant for the worlds commerce
should be internationalized.
Austria and Turkey must not be
weakened.
Annexation of foreign territories:
violate the rights of peoples to self
rule and weaken the internal strength
and harmony of the German nation;
therefore, 1--WE oppose all plans Of this
sort of short-sighted politicians favor
ing conquest"
The party demands the establishment
of an international court to which all
future conflicts of nations may be
submitted.

London, Aug. 25.-The Italians have
won a further advance in the march on
Trent, according to Rome announce

zone they carried Pele Vallestino
(Noce), capturing eight of the enemy's
sheds and considerable ammunition.
An enemy aeroplsne few over
Brescia, and, evading the fire of the
Italian anti-aerial guns, dropped four
bombs, killing six persons and wound
ing several others.
ITALIAN OFFICIAL.
The official statement from the gen.
eral headquarters says:
In the Tonale zone, after careful
artillery preparation, our troops car
ried on the 2lst Pele Vallestino
(Noce) and compelled enemy detach-
ments occupying it to retire, leaving
in our power eight sheds. The enemy
Immediately opened an intense ar
tillery fire against the conquere po-
sition and then directed an infantry
attack against it, supported by ma
chine guns. This was repulsed, the
enemy suffering considerable losses.
Quantities of arms, ammunition and
various materials have fallen into our
hands.
On the Upper Cordevole, the enemy
attempted by artillery and hand gre
made throwing to damage our posi-
ton on Coldilana, near Salasel and
Agasi, but the attack was effectively
answered by our fire and he soon was
obliged to cease his efforts.
On the Isonzo, particularly around
Tolmino and PLAYA, and on the Carso
front, the enemy's artillery has been
very active against our works. An
attempt on his part to repair road
previously cut by US along the Ma
bresina line, east Of Monfalcone,
failed owing to our unrelaxing
watchfulness.
This morning an aeroplane few
over Brescia and, evading the fire Of
our anti-aerial guns, threw down
four bombs, killing six persons and
woundiug several others-all of them
civilians.

BRITISH HOLD

Continued from page /

forced TO withdraw to positions close
by. These post ons have been con-
solidated effectively.
The attack from Suvla Bay was not
developed quickly enough, and, as
recountAd on the 18th, was brought
to a standstill after an advance OF
about two and a half miles. The
ground gained by both attacks was
sufficient, however, to enable their
lines TO be connected along a front
of more than twelve miles.
Further reinforcements having ar
rived. a renewed attack was made on
the 21st on the centre of this new
and extended line. The Australian
and New Zealand troops successfully
advanced about three-quarters of a
mile and a strong system of knobs
and underfeatures was secured.
Fall Back to First Front.
On the rest of the battle front
advanced Turkish trenches were
stormed. All the divisions engaged
reached points on the slopes and
spurs of hills which form the enemy's
centre, but after several hours of
sharp fighting they were unable to
gain the summit and, the intermedi-
ate positions on this part of the line
not being capable of permanent de-
fence, they were withdrawn 10 the
original front.
The great power of defensive un-
der modern conditions accounts for
the difficulties of troops once the
advantage of surprise is lost. In
the close fighting, with the varied
fortunes of repeated attacks and
counter ?attacks attending these bat
ties. the losses inflicted upon the
enemy undoubtedly were much heav-
Ter even than our own. The ground
gained and held is of great value,
but these facts must not lead the
public to suppose that the true OBJ
jectives have been gained or that
further serious and costly efforts
will not be required before de-
cisive victory is won.
FRENCH OFFICIAL
The French War Office this after
noon gave out the following report on
the Dardanelles operations:
The period of five days since the
issuing of the last communication
on the Dardanelles has been marked
in the northern zone by further
progress on the part OF the British
left wing. These British troops have
occupied 800 yards of enemy trenches.
In the southern zone the opera
tons have been limited to artillery
actions and to fighting between pa
trolls.
During the night of August 1924 a
French company was successful in
a surprise attack on a Turkish posi-
ton used by the enemy for listen
ing purposes. In the morning of
August % a detachment of Turkish
soldiers endeavored to reoccupy this
position, but they were repulsed.
On August 20 our squadron bonn
barded with success point Of de-
barkment at Acbachiliman, on the
European side of the strait, to the
north of Niagara. In spite of the
violent fire of numerous hostile bat
teries one of our aviators was sue
cessful in sinking, at it's anchorage,
