APPEALS SONS CASE
Congressman Nelson Tries to Help Son
Charged with Evading Draft.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Representatiye
Nelson of Wisconsin yesterday called on
Attorney General Gregory to investigate
the action of the United States attorney
at Madison in issuing warrant for the
congressman's son, Byron, on charge Of
evading registration under the draft law.
In letter to the attorney general,
Representative Nelson shows that his son
was in Canada before the draft law was
enacted. He then presents statements
from the provost marshal general, the
secretary of war and the secretary of
state to show that Americans in for
eign country are not compelled under the
law to register until within FIVE days aft
er their return to the United States, and
that their registration while outside the
United States is entirely voluntary.
The case is puzzling officials here, who
consider the probability that some other
charge may lie behind it. Representative
Nelson voted against the war resolution

BITTER FIGHT ON VAR

largest revenue-producing provision -
was taken technically in committee of

1905, reveal that after a meeting of the
emperors off Bioerke, the kaiser, in agree
ment with Nicholas, undertook the real
ization of his scheme to declare the Bal

ance from Denmark and because of the
threatening attitude of England, the
kaiser decided in 1905, in the event of
war with England, to do to Denmark
what he did later to Belgium. He re-
solved to occupy neutral Denmark with
his armies, to gain advantages which
Denmark had refused by declining to join
the secret RussoGerman combination.

the district northeast of Gorilla on tn,
Austro-Italian front is continuing, ac
cording to to.day's war Office statement
The Italians yesterday took more thar
five hundred additional prisoners.
Additional prisoners in this area and
some 200 prisoners in the Brestivizza2
valley are fighting where repeated Aus.
trian attacks were broken up.
The Italians after few days of com.
parative idleness, again have started
their great offensive against the Aus
trians on the Bainsizza plateau and to
the northeast of Gorilla.
In the south, however, from the Bres-
toxizzza valley to the sea the Italians
have been compelled to withstand most
violent counter attacks by the Austrians,
who are endeavoring to hold back Gen.
Cadornas lines from a further approach
to Trieste. This they were successful
in doing, although the Austrians at one
place momentarily forced them to cede
territory. A counter attack by the Ital-
ians not alone retrieved the lost position,
but resulted in the capture of more than
400 prisoners.
On the Bainsizza plateau northeast of
Gorizia, the Italians have made further
gains, capturing an important Austrian
position near ocrogio. No details have
been vouchsafed concerning the battle
which is in progress northeast of Gori-
zia, and no confirmation is at hand of the
reported capture by the Italians of
Monte San Gabrielle, the last dominating
position held by the Austrians north of
Gorilla. Nearly l,700 men have been
captured by the Italians in the fighting
in the Gorilla sector.
Again the Italians have sent their
airmen over Pola, the Austrian naval
base in the Adriatic, dropping bombs,
the explosions of which have added mat
erially to the damage done in previous
raids.
