Stubborn Defense Of Enemy Proved TO
Be Failure When They Lose
Monte Santo.

Misunderstanding ahead, in spite
of powerful Austrian resistance and III
the face of strong counter attacks, the
Italians troops on the Isonzo front and
on the Caros captured vast area and
increased the number Of prisoners to
600 officers and $4,000 men. A great
amount of booty also has fallen into
the hands of General Cadorna's forces.
The official war report, sent from
Rome, follows: 1.-THE battle is begin
ming to reveal itself in it's vastness.
The action north of Gorilla, from Au-
gust 10 onward, may be epitomized as
follows: The gallant troops OF the
second army, after having thrown IA
bridges across the 1sonZo under the
fire of the enemy, passed over the r1V-
er on the night Of August 1919 and
proceeded to attack the Bainsizza pla-
teau.
Directing themselves decisively to-
ward the Jelenik-Vrh front, they went
around the three enemy defensive lines
of Sommer, Kobelik and Madoni, which
crossed there. Contemporaneousiy
they attacked the same lines from the
front, and broke through in spite OF
the enemy's most stubborn defense.

COMMITTEE FAILS TO
Agree ON PRICES
SEVERAL BALLOTS ARE TAKEN
AND DELIBERATIONS WILL
CONTINUE.
Prediction at Washington Is That
Figure Will Be Somewhere Be-
tween So and $3.50.

Washington.--The committee headed
by DR.. H. A. Garfield, named by Presl-
dent Wilson to recommend the price
for the 1917 wheat crop, failed to reach
an agreement, and will continue dellb-
erations.
Members of the committee declined
to discuss the situation, but it is I'M
derstood several votes were taken. 1t
had been decided earlier that a three
fourths vote would determine the
price.
The fact that a conclusion was not
reached was taken to mean that con-
siderable difference of opinion has de-
veloped as to what is fair valuation
of the crop. The basic price fixed will
be for No. 1 Northern wheat, or its
equivalent. Prices for other grades
and classes will be left to the food adj
ministration, which will work out
scale within the next few days.

U. S, TAKES DRASTIC STEP
Proclamation Names Two Barred Lists,
One Effective Everywhere, Other
Aimed at Foe.

Washington.-Presi Wilson is
sued a proclamation which gives the
Government control over every posi-
BILE commodity exported from the Uni
ted States. 1t is the most drastic step
for economic control taken by any ma
ton during the war. The President,
in statement accompanying the proc
lamation, insists that he aims at con-
troi and not at the actual stoppage or
exports But the manner in which the
proclamation is divided makes it's pur-
pose certain. "All articles Of COM
merce must be licensed for export to
enemy countries and the countries of
the European neutrals. This will give
the United States for the first time
control over certain situations and
money sent to the neutrals. The list
Of commodities for which license is
required for exports to the rest OF the
world is extended widely.
This" said the President, lis for
the protection of our own needs" The
Presidents proclamation was accom-
panied by an explanation in which he
detailed the difference between the di
visions established in naming the COM
modities coming under the ruling.

POLICE WAGE BITTER BATTLE
In New York-They Arrest Six Per-
sons Outside Mems Night
Court.

New Observation-Disclosures at street
corner meetings reached climax at
the gathering of the Friends OF irish
Freedom at Thirty-ffth street and
Broadway. The police waged a bitter
battle with mob of 5000 persons, and
six persons were arrested. A veritable
riot occurred outside of the mems
Night Court when the men prisoners
were taken there for arralgnment. IL
was necessary to summon police re-
serves to the court building to clear
the streets. The iron gates to the
building were closed and locked and
police had a difficult time preventing
the mob from rushing them. Many
persons were trampled on at the meet
ing itself and also in the disturbance
outside the court house.

PRIVATE JOHN JONES,
of Minnesota,
UNCLE SAM TO ASSIST RUSSIA
Both Material and Moral Conference
at Moscow Was Informed BY
President Wilson.

Washington. - President Wilson
sent to the members of the National
Council Assembly at Moscow assur-
ances that this Government is willing
to extend every material and moral
assistance" to the Government of Rus
STA. No official comment was made by
Government officials on Premier Ker-
ensky's speech before the members of
the council, but it was made clear the
sentiments expressed by the Russian
leader heartily were approved here.
His declaration indicating the firm
manner in which he and his counsel
lors are prepared to deal with enemies
of the new Government have aroused
a greater confidence in the outcome OF
their plans.

Corfu, Island of Corfu.-The Premier

summed up for the Associated Press
the main features of the proposed new
nation of the Southern Slavs which is
to unite under one flag and one king a
self-governing population OF some A.

various slav nations, and has, besides,
the powerful support of the Entente

ington.-President Wilson re-
jected the peace proposals or POPE
Benedict XIV. Ir note sent to the
Pope, he declared that the United
States must continue to fight until IL
is satisfied that a peace treaty would
be more than another scrap of paper"
to be torn by Germany's rulers at will
While the Presidents note is a reJec-
ton of peace at this time, 1t leaves
the road wide open for further discus
sion and propositions
"We can not take the word OF the
present rulers of Germany as guar
antee Of anything that is to endure
he says And later he adds:
1--WE must await some new evidence
of the purposes of the great peoples
of the Central Empires. God grant IL
may be given soon, and in way to re-
store the confidence Of all peoples
everywhere in the faith of nations ana
the possibility of covenanted peace"
President Wilson declared fatty
against an economic war after peace
is declared and against indemnitles. In
the note the President says that while
every heart not blinded and hardened
by the terrible war must be touched
by the moving appeal of His Holiness,
it would be folly to take the path OF
peace he points out if it does not in
fact lead to the goal he proposes. To
deal with such a power as the present
rulers of Germany upon Pope Bene-
diets plan, declares the President,
would involve a recuperation of the
strength and renewal of the world
domination of that power, now balk-
ed, but not defeated after sweeping a
continent with the blood of innocent
women and children and the helpless
poor as we'll as of soldiers"
