Indianapolis

Harrisburg, Pa, October lion board
President Wilson's special)-As a re-
suit of the conference last night and
early today between President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing at Long Branch,
N. j., 1t was stated authoritatively to-
night that no evidence of the breaking
OF the German promises to the United
States had been discovered so far in con-
nection with the submarine activities off
the American coast, but that the Amer
vestigations and would watch very closely
any repetition of the attacks.
The only direct comment on the dis
cussion between the President and Sec
rotary Lansing obtainable from official
sources tonight was that every angle of
the submarine situation had been dis
cussed and that new problems brought
to the front by the activities of Ger
man submarines so near the American
coast had been gone into very thor
oughly
Administration officials apparently
fear that difficulties may result If Ger
man warfare is carried on on a large
scale on this side of the Atlantic, and
therefore it is necessary for the govern
ment to seek all facts obtainable.
Because of this fear, it was thought
probable that means would be found for
discovering whether Germany intends to
content herself with the damage done
last Sunday or will continue submarine
warfare on this side Of the Atlantic.
Complete evidence on whether Ger

Yet Of the Kingstonidn Crew

Newport, r. l.. October 1.-THE finding
OF five abandoned ships boats by the
Spanish steamer Antonio Lopez. reported
in a radio message relayed to the naval
station here today by the Nantucket
Shoals lightship, was considered in naval
circles as suggesting a possible trace of
the crew Of the steamship Kingstonian,
reported torpedoed by German subma-
rine on Sunday.
Search for the crew had been suspended
by the naval authorities.
1--WE have found five abandoned boats
along a radius of three miles," the mes
sage said. The rest of the radiogram
was somewhat unintelligible. because of
evident errors in transmission. AS re-
ceived it read:
,.They had on board his apparel only.
1t is impossible to read his names. One
of them had painted word Liverpool All
in good condition"
Radio operators could not suggest a
word which might sound like his in

some apprehension.

The text follows:
con Mount Pasubo keen fighting
that continued throughout yesterday
ended most successfully for us. Dur
ing the previous night the enemy
made strong counter attacks, which
we repulsed, and at dawn, in unfavor-
able atmospheric conditions, our artll-
lery and trench batteries resumed
their heavy bombardment OF the
enemy's lines.
THE infantry then took the whole close
network of entertainments which the en-
envy had constructed in Cosmagnon, going
as far as the crest of Mount Menerlee
and the lower southern slopes of Mount
Roite.
in the Travignola valley, on the even
ing of October 8, the enemy. in surprise
attack in force succeeded in breaking
into our advance trenches at some points,
but were promptly driven out.
ION the Italian front yesterday there
was intense artillery dueling, which was
hindered by fogs. In the afternoon our
infantry made determined attack east
of vertoebzza and broke the enemys
line between Tobar and Vertoiba, cap
turing $50 prisoners, including 20 officers,
and also three machine guns.
ION the Carso, after the intricate de-
lenses of the enemy had been destroyed
by an intense and accurate artillery and
drench mortar fire, our infantry captured
almost the whole of the line composed
OF several successive entertainments be-
tween the Vipacco river and Hill POS, and
advanced beyond. Novavilla and the ad-
joining strong position around the north
ern part of Hill 2OS also fell into our
hands after brisk fighting.

ing 1854 officers, have been reported and
