Austro-H Hungarian
Chiefs in Council

Vienna, Oct. (via London, Oct. g.
The executive committees of the three
principal groups in the lower house of
the Austrian Parliament met here to-
day TO discuss important matters, in
GLIDING the sdvisability Of converting
Parliament. Tomorrow similar COM
mittees from the upper house will
meet.
The meetings will not result in the
converting Of Parliament, but only in
the calling together OF the Austrian
and Hungarian delegations on rela-
tions between the two countries.
The Austrian faction favoring a
meeting Of Parliament is a small one,
but is credited with the desire to re-
move Premier Stuergkh, with whose
policy it is dissatisfied. The meeting
Of the delegations will have no effect
on internal affairs, as only foreign
and military matters will be taken up.

Attacked by Sub
marine.

Paris, Oct. 6.-According to the COM
handing officer and men Of French
torpedo boat, the British steamship
Strathay, sunk on September on her
way from Newport News to Glasgow
was destroyed by a submarine. Ameri-
can citizens are said to have been on
board the Strathay.
Evidence given by all the men on the
torpedo boat is to the effect that a
submarine fired eight shells at the
Strathay in ten minutes. and then sank
her with a torpedo. after giving the
crew fifteen minutes to abandon the
vessel. 1t is said the torpedo boat put
the submarine to fight and rescued the
crew.
The American Embassy here has no
knowledge of the identity Of the Amer,
can citizens said 70 have been aboard
the Strathay.
The Overseas News Agency OF Ber-
lin said on September 80 it was able
10 announce on competent authority
that the Strathay had not been at

with regard to commercial measures

WRIGHT GIVES AERO
PATENTS TO BRITAIN
Will Leave Government Free TO
Build Planes, Says Newspaper.

London. Oct. 6.-According TO the
newspaper "Aeroplane," Orville Wright,
the Dayton (Ohio) aeroplane inventor
has presented his patents TO the BRUSH
government.
Great Britain early in the war, says
the newspaper, recognized the over
whelming influence of these patents on
the future OF the aeroplane, and COM
promised a claim of $4,000 by paying
G15.Ooo TO cover all royalties under the
Wright patents on naval and military
aeroplanes. Mr.. Wright never made
any further claim for royalties, con-
tinues the article, and thus saved the
British aeroplane industry from Tugs
ton such as that which stunted inc
progress OF the aeroplane in America:
On March % next the Original Drit-
ish patents lapse, and Mr.. wright, the
newspaper says, has decided not 70 re-
new them, and every MANUFACTURED III

payment Of any royalty.

Orville Wright had presented his aero

Since 1914 Orville Wright, it is SAID

the property of that company.

NEW TRIESTE DRIVE
DUE BEFORE WINTER
Italians Continue Successes IN
Dolomite Alps.

Paris, Oct. 6.-The Italians are con-
tinuing their successes against the
Austrians in the Trentino.
In the Dolomite Alps, the north
western corner of the wide-fung field
of battle, Italy's Alpine troops are
daily proving their superiority over the
enemy. The latest official advices re-
port the capture of strong Austrian
position on the slopes of Gina di Costa
bella and the extension of the Italian
positions to the south Of this region,
on the SUBMITS Of Colbricon.
On the Carso Plateau and around
Gorilla the Austrian fire is keeping the
Italian infantry in the trenches, but
a new attempt TO win the road 10
Trieste is expected before cold weather
sets in.
The Italian statement follows:
an the Travignollo-Avisio Valley.
after his serious reverses suffered on
Tuesday and Wednesday, the enemy
remained quiet, only artillery actions
being reported in that region. We es-
tablished a strong junction between
our positions on the frat and second
SUBMITS of Colbricon. In the saddle
between the two peaks large number
of enemy dead was found.
Further north, in the Pellegrino-
Avisio Valley, a dashing attack by our
Alpine troops resulted in their taking
strong entertainment and enemy
shelters on the slopes Of Gina di
Costabella. We captured l02 prison
ers, a machine gun, rifles and ammuni-
ton.
"On the remainder Of the front there
were artillery actions. which were
more intense on the Carso, where the
enemy kept up strong fire upon our
lines. Some of our reconnoitring
parties engaged in skirmishes and took
about thirty prisoners"

with Germany or into trouble with
Great Britain.
Weakest TO Have Preference.
"All these forecasts" said the Min
lister of War Trade, "are examples OF
the inveterate tendency TO draw curl
Gus implications out OF perfectly simple
provisions. The provision as to the
preservation of neutral resources dur
ing the period of reconstruction amount
10 a provision that those among the
Allies who have suffered worst from
the war will have the first call on the
resources OF those who are richest and
have suffered least.
an practice this means that Bel.
GUM, Northern France, Poland and
Serbia will have the first call on Brit
ish capital, which has been the main
financial strength of the Allies and
provided many of them with arms. am
munition and food, and which shall
continue to be at their disposal in the
work Of reconstruction.
Cecil Says Policy Is Old.
"Apd yet Americans who have been
disposed in the past to question the
efforts Of Great Britain in this war
actually now throw this pledge which
she has given her Allies in her teeth.
The same kind Of considerations apply
in the case OF the permanent proposal
concerning the reciprocal exchange OF
products after the war.
1.-The measures here proposed are
those which every nation in the world
except this country has employed for
years to protect its commerce. We
have been alone. having neither a pro-
tective tariff nor system OF subsidies.
"Yet now we find ourselves criticised
by others who always have employed
tariff and other devices to stimulate
their trade, as If there were some
strange departure when we propose TO
help our Allies increase the rewards OF
labor in this and allied countries after
the war.

not facing business facts in business
