AUSTRlANS ARE IN FULL
RETREAT AT TWO POINTS
vanced Beyond Plezzo-Foe in
Precarious Position.

Milan, Aug. 31.-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, a tributary of the Ison-
20, and also commands the highway
that eliminates in Predil pass at a
height of $500 feet and thence de-
scends into the Zezach valley, where
the Italians captured positions about
a week ago.
The Austrians are in precarious
position at Jarvis, as well as at Tolmi-
no and GoritZ, not to mention the
strong series Of defenses they lost in
the Val Sugana.

ORDERS GAMBLING STOPPED

Chief to Suppress All Machines
of Chance in the City.

Waukesha.-Mayor E. R. Estberg in
structed Chief of Police Don Mckay to
have removed from every business
place in the city all devices of a gamb-
ling character. Cigar wheels, chance
gum machines, dice games-whether
for candy, money or cigars-all come
within the scope of the order, which
went into effect on Wednesday. Mayor
Estberg said that he had no animosity
toward a seemingly harmless cigar
wheel, or chance game for box of
candy or package of gum, but when
they become so numerous that they
were obnoxious and serve as an intro
duction into the gambling world for
young men ranging from Is to 20
years old, he believed it advisable for
them to be removed.

RATES ON FREIGHT
CLAIMED TOO HIGH
COMPLAINT WILL BE FILED WITH
INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION.
DOCUMENT BEING PREPARED
Tariffs for the Whole State
Should Be Cut About
100000.

misunderstanding to J. N. Title
more of Oshkosh, who consulted with
Halford Erickson of the state railroad
commission, the freight rates in Wis
consin are far too high and for the
whole state should be cut 100000
annually.
Chairman Erickson is preparing to
file a complaint, involving all freight
rates in Wisconsin, with the interstate
commerce commission.
Mr. Tittemore said the freight rate
condition in Wisconsin had been ag-
gravated by the decision in the Mime
sofa rate case. wisconsin freight
rates are about 33 per cent too high
on most things" he said.
Mr.. Tittemore, while claiming the
freight rates are too high says his
chief complaint is of interstate rates
and he may ask the Wisconsin commits
sion to ask for a review of these by
the federal commission.
The Wisconsin commission, both as
at present constituted and as 1t was
prior to last January, has held that
freight rates in Wisconsin are not ex-
cessive, inasmuch as they enable no
railroad in the state to pay more than
per cent upon the valuation of its
investment.

BATTLE HIGH IN THE AIR.
Italians and Austrians Fight 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 Italian soldiers at
tempting to take the Austrian posi-
lions 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.

KAISER AGREES To
WILSON SEA POLICY
Won Bernstorff Gives Assurance
Liners Will Be Warned.
VICTORY FOR UNITED STATES
Lansing Receives From Ambassador
Statement From Berlin That Prin.
ciple for Which President Con-
tended Will Be Recognized.

Washington, Sept. Germany has
accepted in principle Americas inter
probation of the rules under which her
submarines may operate. Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador, so
informed Secretary of State Lansing
on Wednesday.
Germanys action is accepted as the
greatest diplomatic victory of the war.
On leaving the state department Count
Won Bernstorff stated that he consid-
cred the submarine issue, as raised in
the cases of the Gulfight, Lusitania
and Arabic, closed incident.
The ambassador said that he had
been directed by his government to
notify the United States that hereafter
no merchant vessels will be attacked
by German submarines without first
being warned, visited and searched
and opportunity afforded for their pas
sengers and crew to escape He said
that he had not taken up details at
this time. The question of payment
for the Lusitania and Arabic victims
and of formal disavowal would be dis
cussed by him later with Secretary
Lansing.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff filed the
following official memorandum with
Secretary Lansing:
Dear Mr.. Secretary: With refer
ence to our conversation of this morn
ing l beg to inform you that my in
structions concerning our answer to
your last Lusitania note contains the
following passage:
Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warming and with
out safety of lives of noncombatants.
provided that the liners do not trv TO
escape or offer resistance
Although l know that you do not
wish to discuss the Lusitania question
until the Arabic incident has been def
n1tely and satisfactorily settled, l de-
sire to inform you of the above be-
cause this policy of my government
was decided on before the Arabic in
cident occurred.
Il have no objection to your making
any use you may please of the above
information.
Il remain, my dear Mr.. Lansing,
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) 81. BERNSTORFF."
Secretary Lansing commented as
follows on the statement:
In view of the cIearness of the fore
going statement it seems needless to
make any comment in regard to it
other than to say that it appears to
me a recognition of the fundamental
principles for which we have con-
tended"
With the German situation serene,
the administration, it was authorita-
lively stated, will now press hard for
redress from England for her inter
ference with American trade.

CONCESSIONS CLEARS WAY
FOR MEDIATION MOVE
United States-May Reopen
German Trade.

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 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 a discus
sion of internal policies 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 Spring-Rice, called on
the state department trade advisers
and on other officials of the state de-
partment.
After these two developments, it
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 I'M
der contract for shipment to the Unit
ed states.

SUBMARINE THAT
SUNK ARABIC LOST
Germany Cannot Now Explain
Commanders Action.
DESTROYED BY THE BRITISH
Dispatch From Liverpool Says u
Boat Was SheIIed by Patrol Ship
and the Entire Crew
Persisted.

Liverpool, Sept 2.-The German
submarine which sank the White Star
liner Arabic was sunk the following
day by British patrol boat This
fact was confirmed here. While the
submarine was engaged in trying to
hold up the Leyland liner Nicosian, a
British patrol boat came up and
shelled the submarine. All the mem
bers of the submarines crew lost their
lives.
This incident, coupled with the ac-
tlvities of the British navy, while COM
paratively Insignificant from a mill
tary viewpoint, will probably prove of
marked Importance in smoothing the
way to a friendly settlement of this
phase of the controversy between the
United States and Germany.
Everyone here believes that except
as to minor details, the settlement of
the Arabic affair will reduce the Lusi-
tania dispute to the status of a moot
case.
The sinking of the offending U-boat,
which seems to have been accompanied
by the loss of her commander and
crew, removes the one obstacle to full
f1llment of the pledge of the German
imperial chancellor, DR.. Won Beth
mannHollweg. to give the United
States complete satisfaction" in case
it was proved that the Arabic was
sunk without warning by a German
submarine.
This obstacle was the implied inten-
tion of showing Germany's good faith
in disclaiming responsibility by pun
ishing under naval law the command
er Immediately responsible for the de-
struction of the Arabic.
