London. Nov. 17-British monitors
are today engaged with the Austro-
Germans located in the marshes in
an attempt to check the Teutonic ad-
vance toward Venice.
A fierce artillery duel is in progress
all along the so mile Piave river line
and everywhere. according to Rome
dispatches, the Italians are making a
valiant stand.

ian front British artillery is today en-

river front The British guns out

ing great gaps In the Teutonic line.
London, Nov. 1.-THE Italians
daily continue to stiffen their front
from the region of Lake Garda to the
Adriatic sea- Nowhere have the
Teutonic allies been able to pene-
trate their front for new gains Of
great Importance. On the other hand
their attacks have met with
fierce resistance and ultimate repulse
except in the north, where the town
OF Cismon, on the east bank of the
Brenta river, and several hill posi-
tions, have been taken by the invad-
ers.
All along the Piave furious artil-

To the south, near the mouth of
the Piave, in the region known as.

neers have opened the dikes against
the enemy forces which crossed the
stream at Grisolera, who possibly
have been trapped by the inrush OF

events will make harder the task of
the enemy in bringing up guns with
which to shell Venice from the north

The Berlin official report, however,
says that AustroGerman forces that
had crossed the lower Piaye had cap
tured 1000 Italians. There is no ref

WHY THE PRESIDENT
 REFUSED A PARDON
Must Consider Influence on Pub lie Opinion, He Writes Mrs. Caminetti, Mother of Convict ed White Slayer.

Washington, March 30.-President Wilson has written Mrs. Anthony Co., minetti the reasons why he could not pardon her son, F. Drew Caminetti, convicted at San Francisco of violat- ing the Mann white slave law. The presidents letter to Mrs. Caminetti said:
 Ut tears my heart to have to say to you that l cannot see my way clear to pardon your son. If 1 followed the dictates of my heart, or allowed my self to be influenced by genuine friend ship for yourself and your husband, would, of course, do it; but in matters of this sort it seems to me my impera- tive duty to leave personal feelings and connections out of the question entirely and look at the matter from the public point of view with the in- fluence that it would have on other cases.
 "When l look at the case of your son from this point of view, it seems to me clearly my duty to withhold a pardon"

London, March 30.- The capture by the British of the town of Ruyal court, about eight miles east of Ba- paume, is reported by Reuters cor respondent at the British headquar- ters in France.
 "Yesterday we took Ruyalcourt, thereby advancing our line to about eight miles east of Bapaume," the cor respondent telegraphs. "Our infantry is now in contact with the whole new German front from Arras to point about six miles southeast of St. Quen- tin.
 In the northern part of the line violent bombardment by the enemy broke out yesterday afternoon, but it was silenced by tremendous concen- tration of our counter battery fire. A similar outburst of trench mortars in the Ypres salient was smothered in the same way"

40 AMERICANS HELD
 PRISONERS OF WAR
Men Were Captured by German Raider MOewe From Horse TranspOrt-TOOk 593 Prison CTS to Germany.

Copenhagen, March 30, via London, More than 40 Americans were among the prisoners taken to Ger many by the German commerce raider Moewe, according to Jack Benson, an American seaman, who has arrived here. The Americans, he says, now are held as prisoners of war in Ger many.
 Benson, who for a time was a fel- low prisoner of the men now held in Germany, says that nearly all of the 40 were horsemen aboard the trans port Esmeraldas, which was sunk by the Moewe. The only exception whom Benson was able to mention was an American named Smith, who was aboard the British armed merchant man Brecknockshire.
 The German auxiliary cruiser Moewe, according to reports from Berlin, took 593 prisoners to Ger many. Shipping men at Newport News early this week said that 50 American muleteers were aboard the British steamer Esmeraldas.

ALLIES CONTINUE TO
 ADVANCE IN FRANCE
British Capture Three More Vil- lages in the Somme Region Canadian Troops Active in this Section.

New York, March 30.-British troops in France have occupied three more villages in the Somme region and Tn the Champagne where intensive fighting has been in progress for sev- eral days, the French have recaptured the positions taken by the Germans March 2S.
 A German retirement on both sides of the Peronne-Fins road, because of strong British pressure, is announced by Berlin. Two of the villages cap- tured by the British, Fins and Sorel- le-Grand, are on this road, while the other, Ruyalcourst, is three miles to the north and eight miles west of Bapaume. Field Marshal Haig's men, London says, have gained ground west of Sorrel- -le- Grand in the direction of Heudicourt and toward the railroad running south from Marcoing. A Ger man attack against the British posi- tions south of Neuville- le-Bourjenval, between Ruyall court and Fins, is re- ported by London to have been check ed with loss.
 Canadian troops have been in action east of Neuville St. Vaast, Berlin says that four attacks by Canadian force were repulsed with heavy losses, while | London claims the German lines were entered and prisoners taken after cas- ualties were inflicted on the defenders.
 Neither Berlin nor Paris report any infantry activity between the Somme and the Disc. Northeast of Soissons Berlin says French groupings for an attack were dispersed. French troops in the sector of Vregny Margival Paris reports made progress.
 West of Maisons de Champagne a French counter-attack resulted in the Germans losing the positions gained on Wednesday. The French took 63 prisoners, Paris adds.
 There has been no important activ- ity on any of the other battlefields. Russian attacks were delivered south east of Baranovichi on the eastern front. but Petrograd does not say with what result. German troops en- tered Russian trenches on the Oginski canal, but were dislodged. Austrian attacks against Italian positions on Monte Fait on the Austro-Italian front Rome says, were repulsed with heavy losses and prisoners were taken.

 ros divided and arrayed against it. ,oIfn and the gallant fire boys are s75 better off this morning than they were yesterday morning, which will further the cause of a motor fire truck about 300 people also have the honor of owning an interest in same, beside witnessing rattling good ball game.
 The Prescott Concert Band played the opening selection at the corner of the Bank of Prescott yesterday after noon at 8 o'clock which soon drew a large and enthusiastic crowd, with the aid of the goat which was owned by the West Side and paraded through the streets-not after the game, how
 ever. Also the ambulance driven by "Dr." Cornish, which was for the ac- eommodation of the West Side. After the fans had congregated, free auto mobiles were furnished by the owners for transferring us to the grounds. Upon arriving there and after a few unnecessary preliminaries and music, the game was called with Dan Pitt man umpiring the balls and Mark Smyth the bases. Dexter Bush de- livered the pill over the plate for the West Side and Fred Litton for the East Side The West Side being to the bat, Litton opened fullforce and counted three out in succession. Liv- ingston for the West came to bat and succeeded in getting to first, which opened the way for three runs by Livingston, Ltton and Tompkins. The first half of the second was a repeti- ton of the opening half and in order to start something Bush allowed four Fasteners to creep in home. The first half of the third was when Litton did charitable stunt and handed the opponents four runs on silver plat ter. As no accurate account was kept of the game we are unable to go fur ther into details other than to say that four or five of the pitching peers were gwen trials and some "came back" While others are yet to come. There are also 8 number of wooden medals 10 be presented for brilliant plays on both sides, plays that were really more of surprise to the player than anyone else, and we refrain from giv- Ing all their names because of the lact that notoriety is repulsive to some stars, and might not be received m the right spirit However, one of ue most beautiful fade-aways, was
