IN EERESTING SESSI0hPRAISE WILSON'S REPLY
American Presidents Note to Pope
Benedict Hailed With Satisfaction
In London.

London, August 30.-Englane
was again moved to admiration OF
America and President Wilson today
after reading the note to Pope Ben
edict. More than one newspaper hail
ed the American Executive as the
new leader of the allied cause.
"At the end of three years of un-
speakab!e strain and anxiety de-
clared the Morning Post, sit is an
iinestimable service to the allies to
6nd such leadership as this-strong
,!ear sighted, MISUNDERSTANDING
rev courage and faith, shaming the
faint-hearted and silencing the per-
verse and disaffected."
The Chronicle pointed out that
President Wilson had reminded the
world that America was unfettered
by alliances in "subjecting the Paris
resolution of the allies to unqualified
condemnation" (This was the reso-
luton banding the allies to CONNER
cial reprisals against Germany after
the war;.
"The resounding proclamation
which comes from the White House,
the reality of right, and the reality
of wrong and of the impossibility OF
reconciling them or shading them in
to one another by good-natured
words" the Chronicle added. "might
we'll have issued from the Vatican,
the ancient repository Of Christian
verities."
ait is the answer of practical
stateman to the peace dreaming
Vatican, and it may be TO other
courts as WE'LL" the Times summariz-
ed, adding that the note IS coucned
in the same terms in which all other
statesmen of allied powers must
reply to the peace note

Beyond Monte Santo WITH oo]ec'
of Taking Place.

Icndon. Aug. 31.-Italy's vic
torious offensive reached its second
and most important stage today
Having attained practical dominance
of the Bainsizza plateau, General
Cadorna's troops began vast hahN-
ing movement northward.
Tolmino is the immediate ohJec-
tive of this drive. Front dispatches
TODAY indicated the Italian troops
were forging ahead and had arrived
almost before the preliminary line

At the same time another Italian
army reaches out beyond Monte
Cucco for a coincidental drive east
ward on the same city.
Rome cables told of further prog
ress gained east on the plateau, to-
ward the Chiapovano valley. 1t IS
through this gap that one of the
main arteries of Austrian commune
cation between the northern ana
southern armies-the latter guard
Fl ing Trieste-is run. A victory there
will be of vast strategic Importance.
All dispatches today emphasized
the ferccity of the fighting in the
Bainsizza sector. The Austrians are

A WONAN'S CHARGES
Former Night Officer at Occoauan
Arraigns Prison Heads on Various
Counts.

Quickly following her dismissal
as night officer of the District "oFk'
house at Occoquan, Mrs. Virginia II.
Bovee. giving her residence at oil
south Lee street, this city, yes
terday filed sensational charges
against William H. Whitaker, sup
erintendent of the institution, ano
his administration.
The charges were made in an an
davit filed with the National Wo-
mans party, following Mrs. Bovee's
dismissal from the institution, be-
cause, she alleges, she was friendly
to suffrage prisoners there.
Mrs. Bovee, in her affidavit sworn
to before a notary public, declares
that girl prisoners at the workhouse
are beaten.
Superintendent Whitaker and his
son. she declares, were the only ones
who ever beat prisoners. No other
officer of the institution had punl-
tive powers.
Her first charge against the Oc-
couuan management concerns the
holding up of mail for the suffrage
prisoners by Mrs. Herndon, the wo-
man warden. Letters for prisoners
she declares, were frequently de-
,troyed by the Occoquan authorities
and mail for the sutfragettes was
held up until the completion OF SEN
tences.
She declares that the bedding for
the common prisoners was changed
only at long intervals and that this
rule was not broken, even when
new prisoner took the bed occupied
by discharged prisoner.
Prisoners with communicable dis
eases are not isolated quickly enough,
she says.
Mrs. Bovee declares the soap used
bv the prisoners was common to all.
Every incoming prisoner was re-
CURED to take bath. and the sarle
cake of soap was used as long as 1t
lasted.
There were worms in the beans,
hominy, rice, cornmeal, and other
foods used at the institution. de-
clares Mrs. Rovee. Additionally, she
alleges that. although the penal farm
has fine herd of Holstein cattle, the
prisoners get milk only or orders ,ot.
the doctor.
At the same time the suffragettes
said that Mrs. Abby Scott Baker. OF
the Woman's Party leaders, who Wis
tied Occoquan Tuesday, was prepar-
ing to file an affidavit of how she
escaped the vigilance of Occoquan
oman are beaten" When asked it
guards Tuesday and broke away to
investigate what she believed was the
sound of clanking chains.
Bv running down the corridor, she
declares. she came face to face with
man in chains.
Mr.. Whitaker denies the charges
made by Mrs Bovee. Concerning the
alleged beating of a girl prisoner ne
declared: "No prisoners at. .Occo-
ouan are beaten When asked :. if
| Mrs. Bovce was dismissed for her
friendlness for the .suffragettes, Mr..
Whitaker said: "Dismissed for un-i
satisfactory service"
