ADMIRAL DEWEYS VIEW
OF NAVY GENERAL STAFF
Letter Placed Before House Commit

Admiral Dewey's views as to the mad
visibility of creating navy general

100 AERIAL BATTLES
IN A DAY ON S0MME
French Alone Fight 65-Boelke
Wings 32d Foe

London. Oct 17.-More than one hun
dred battles were fought In the air
over the Somme front yesterday.
French sirmen alone engaged in sixty
five combats, winging five German
planes. ...
The French sseernent says;
Our aeroplanes fought sixty-tive en-
garments yesterday on the Somne. Two
enemy machines were brought down
and three others came precipitately to
earth within our lines"
Berlin's version follows:
Our battle airmen shot down SIX
enemy aeroplanes, three of these fall
ing behind the enemy lines. Captain
Boelke again put two enemy machines
out OF action" This makes thirty
two for Boelke.)
Here Is the British report:
The clear weather yesterday gave
scope for great aerial activity. Our
machines bombed enemy railway lines,
stations, billets, factories and depots.
There were numerous fights, three
enemy machines being destroyed, an
other machine driven 70 earth and
many dispersed. Two enemy Kite bal
looms were forced down. One after
ward was seen TO be in flames. One Of
our machines was brought down By
snti-aircraft guntire and six others
have not returned"

RUSSIAN ATTACKS
ARE SWEPT BACK
Infantry Waves Break on
Iron DefenCe-Germans
Win Mile Line

London, Oct. 1.-THE Russians are
continuing their fierce efforts to wrest
the offensive from the Teutons in
Galicia and Volhynia. The battle on
the Narayuvks. in the Halicz sector,
has assumed the proportions of the
previous great efforts against the
southern gateway to Lemberg. Won
Bothmer's lines are being raked with
the most intense artillery fire of weeks.
All day long Russian battalions
swept forward in dense masses on this
front, only to meet an unwavering
resistance. As darkness fell the Rus
sian attacks reached their china"
Three times Brussilof's troops bat
tered at the Teuton defences. As they
fell back the Germans rushed from
their trenches and pursued the Rus
SLAMS so quickly that the latter were
swept out OF their positions along a
front Of more than a mile. More than
1900 prisoners fell into German hands.
In Volhynia the Russian attacks We're
hardly less violent nor less costly. In
the region Of Sviniusky, southeast Of
Vladimir Volynski, repeated assaults
failed to break the Teuton lines. To
the north, near zaturze, Brlssilof
massed his forces and assailed the
enemy ten times without success. The
Austrian commanders report that the
Russians suffered gigantic losses"
IL is apparent that the Russian COM
manders are throwing their full
strength into the field to obtain an early
decision, but the fiercest fighting since
early summer seems to be proving that
the Teuton defences are az strong as
they were claimed TO be.

No u. S. Declaration
of Policy Expected

Washington. Oct. f7.-There have
been no indications in official circles
here that the United States would make
any declaration OF policy regarding the
U-53's visit 70 the Western Atlantic
unless evidence OF violation OF inter
national law developed.
The raid off Nantucket is viewed az
an isolated case, in no way reopenln9
the general submarine issue, and 1t Is
understood all the information gath
cred thus far indicates that the SUP
marines activities were held within
legal bounds. The investigation, how
ever. has not been completed.
Officials have consistently declined TO
make any formal comment on the U-o3s
exploits while the inquiry is in prog
ress, but surprise was apparent to
night st the suggestion that the SUP
marine may have secured Information
illegally through newspapers taken
aboard at Newport. That point APP
parently has not been considered here
as entering prominently into the case.
1t was suggested that wide differ
ence might be found in the entrance OF
beliigerent into neutral port for
supplies, which is recognized as legal
and is surrounded with fixed limita-

tempt such as that made by the Brit
ish cruiser Suffolk to secure supplies

In this connection. it wa, recalled
that freedom Of the harbor was granted
the French cruiser Amiral Aube when
she put into Pensacola last August, and
that no diplomatic issue was made over
the incident. although the French cap
tain took aboard what he described as
an important packet OF papers from the
French Consul.
Il has been indicated clearly that the
government was satisfied there was no
violation of neutrality or international
law by the rescue fotills OF American
destroyers. Officials also are under

rine's operations cannot De regarded as

British crisers just outside American

RUMANIANS HOLD
FIRM ON BORDER
Falkenhayn's Efforts to
Break Through Fail
Everywhere

London, Oct. 1.-THE Rumsnians are
standing firm in the mountain passes
OF Trsnsylvanis. At every point on
the eastern and southern frontiers Fall
kenhayns attempts TO smash through
into the enemy's land have been
crushed by the vigorous resistance OF
King Ferdinand's troops. In several
sectors the Rumanisns have pushed
forward.
In the region OF Donna Vatra and
Kirlibaba, in Bukowina, the Russians
also have succeeded in checking the
Teuton offensive against the Carpath-
ian border defences. Only on the
tons able TO gain.
The crisis is not passed. The invad-
ers still maintain their grip on Ruma-
MAN territory south Of the Torzburger
Pass and occupy threatening positions
at other points on the border. But the
battle is going better for Rumania than
had been hoped. and developments are
awaited here with confidence.
The attacks of the Teutons in the
Pennsylvania passes to-day lacked their
usual ferocity, probably because the
furious resistance of the Rumanians
the day before had had the effect OF
weakening the spirit Of the attackers.
In the Bicaz, 0ituz and Olti valleys
the enemy's waves beat in vain against
the wall Of defenders. In the Uzul
Valley, at the centre of the eastern
front. Falkenhsyn's columns were
driven back beyond the frontier line
with heavy losses.
In the Zubeu Valley the Rumanians
also did more than check the onrush of
the enemy Exposed TO q grilnng fire
from the Rumsnian batteries, the leu
tons were compelled to abandon their
trenches and fall back TO the north. AZ
Table Butzi, south of Kronstadt, Ferd;

There is little change in the situation
on the Macedonian front. Sofia records
the repulse with extremely heavy losses
TO the enemy Of Serbian and French
attacks in the bend of the Cerna River
and along the Monastir-Florina railway
line. Their drive on their own soil
apparently has cost the Serbians dear
", but they have won important posi-

FURTHER BAN ON FOOD
IN ENGLAND REFUSED
Country Not To Be Made Like
Blockaded CITY

London, Oct I7.--There are TO be no
further restrictions on food supplies
in England. The British government
has no intention OF putting the coun-
try in the position of blocksded city,
Il was declared in the House of Com
m ons to-day BY Walter Runciman, pres
ident Of the Board of Trade.
In reply to complaints Of the made
ouate measures OF the government to
control food supplies and prevent ex-
eessive increases in prices, Mr.. Runci-
man .aid he hungered for q practical
proposal for preventing evils largely
due 70 the increased food consuming
capacity and the decreasing supplies Of
food.
He denied that there was evidence Of
serious manipulation or exploitation Of
foodstuffs, and said that every effort
WAS being made TO increase available
tonnage for imports.
