previous regime were either dismissed
or resigned.

There have been persistent reports
from many sources that Emperor
Charles keenly resents the dominance
of Berlin in Austro-Hungarian affairs
and that Count Tisza was the one
great obstacle which prevented him
from freeing his empire from the in
fluence of Potsdam.
There have been several reports re-
Gently that the fall of Premier Tisza
was imminent, but the rigid censor
ship imposed by Vienna has prevented
the outside world from learning the
exact condition Of affairs.
Political Truce Ended.
At the outbreak of the war truce
was declared between the political par
ties in Hungary, but last August
Count Apponyi, leader Of the liberals
and strong opponent of the Pan
Germans, announced the truce was
ended and that he would resume crit
icism of the governments foreign

He was Joined by Count Karelyi,
president of the Hungarian indepen-
dent party, and the two popular lead
ers instituted a vigorous campaign
against Count Tisza for his failure to
carry out franchise and other demo-
cratic reforms.

Enemy Is Taken Completely by Sur
prise When Italians Divert Atten-
ton by Striking at North End
of Isonzo Line-Quiet on
French Front.

London, May 26.-On a front of near
ly 10 miles on the Carso plateau, the
Italian troops have smashed the Aus
trian line hard and taken various po-
sitions from the town of Castognavizza
to the head of the gulf of Trieste. In
their attacks the Italians received val
liable aid from some Of the nine Brit
ish batteries that have hauled their
big guns down to the Isonzo front to
help in the efforts aimed at the con-
quest of Trieste, Austria's big seaport
on the Adriatic.
Take 5000 Prisoners.
Not alone were the Italians success
full in capturing numerous points of
vantage, but more than 5000 Austrian
prisoners, including officers in excess
of 300 were taken. The Austrians are
declared to have been taken complete
ly by surprise by the Italians, who,
to divert attention from the southern
end of the Isonzo line had struck a
hard blow to the north.
The Austrians later launched heavy
counter-attacks, but the Italians held
the ground they had won.
Drawing Nearer Trieste.
The new advance Of the Italians
brings them appreciably nearer Trieste
which from the lower part Of the line
is less than 10 miles away. The
ground traversed and yet to be passed
over is difficult for military operations
and the Italians will not attain their
objective except by fighting Of most
desperate nature.
Comparative quiet still prevails on
the front in France held by the British
but farther south intensive artillery
duels are in progress between the
French and Germans, being most Sc
we're in the regions of Moulin de Van
clere, the California plateau and Chew
reux.
On none of the other fronts has
there been an engagement Of any great
importance.
Russians Become Active.
The exhortations of the Russian
minister of war, M. Kerensky, that the
Russians must cease their attitude OF
passiveness and go into the fray with
the object Of defeating Germany, evil
IDENTIFY are bearing fruit. The entire
garrison of Sebastopool, Russia's big
fortress and naval station in the Cri-
mea, has requested unanimously that
it be permitted to go to the Riga front
and give battle to the Germans.

Recent discovery of ether com pound that dries up corns
 so they lift out.

Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispens- ing freezone, the ether discovery of a Cincinnati man, which is said to lossen any corn so it lifts out with the fin gers.
 Ask at any pharmacy for a quarter ounce of freezone, which will cost very little, but is said to be sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callous.
 You apply just few drops on the tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled that 1t lifts out with out pain. It is sticky substance which dries when applied and never infames or even irritates the adjoin- ing tissue.
 This discovery will prevent thou sands of deaths annually from lock- jaw and infection heretofore resulting from the suicidal habit of cutting corns.

ANOTHER INVENTION.
Machine For Utilizing Free Energy
 Given Secret Test.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The house bill providing for tests of a mysteri- ous machine for utilizing free ener- gy devised by Garabed T. K. Giragos- sian, an Armenian inventor from Bos- ton, went to the senate today and con- gressmen, enthusiastic over the war possibilities of the machine, planned a drive for immediate action.
 Giragossian so impressed five mem- bers of the house patents committee at a secret demonstration that they recommended passage of the bill to provide for a demonstration before a board of five scientists and the secre- tary of the interior as a preliminary to the government buying the rights to use the device.
 Former Speaker Cannon, who in the face of ridicule years ago forced through the resolution for testing Prof. Langley's flying machine, sup ported the resolution yesterday.

JUST AS NECESSARY.
Bread Needed As We'll As Bullets, As
 Army Eats.

Hartford, Oct. 4.-Bread Is just as necessary as bullets in fighting tho war for democracy Dr. Richard Dem- ing Hollington of Providence in ad- dressing a public meeting in the in- terest of food conservation in Con- necticut in the chamber of the house at the capitol this afternoon. He said that people may talk easily and we'll of liberty loans and a big army to win the war but that army must have food-it must have bread and sugar. and if people go on using. up wheat that army will not be fed. If peo- pie will not conserve the essential foods now there looms up the pros- pect of bread cards and restricted rations. People must have sharper realization, pr. Hollington said, of the need to prevent waste, overeating of those things which the army needs, and the economical use of everything which the fighting man requires.
 Dr. Hollington said he believed that it was possible to get every person in the state to sign a. pledge to keep it, to conserve food. He said that Connecticut probably can sign up 100000 and that efficient organiza- ton can be maintained in every one of the 168 towns.

CLUBS WOULD BE
 TRUMPS IN PHILA.
Policemen Testify That Mayor
 Smith Was in Conspiracy

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-The alleged activity of the police, backed by Mayor Thomas B. Smith, in helping Isaac Deutsch to win the councilmanic nomination in the fifth ward, which resulted 1 nthe killing of a policeman. was described in the municipal court at the second days hearing of the mayor and eight other defendants charged with conspiracy to murder. aggravated assault, and battery, and violations of election laws.
 The interest aroused by testimony connecting the Ware brothers, a con- gressman and state senator, with the election day happenings continued in the case today as witness after witness testified that the police went the limit' to defeat James A. Carey, the leader of the ward.
 Club heads" was the order re- ceived from Police Lieut.. David Ben nett, one officer testified. Bring them in, and if they are Deutsch's men I will excuse them. The Carey men I'll send down." was the further order nf Bennett, the policeman said. The penalty for failure to turn in' for Deutsch was transfer to another -po- lice district or resign. eight police men told the court. One of the police men refused to be transferred, quit and stayed in the ward to help Carey.
 One transferred man said Bennett told him that "clubs would be trumps' in the fifth ward on election day. Bennett informed the policemen that he had the backing of the mayor, and that whatever he or Deutsch told the police to do they must do. Witnesses also testified that the mayor made a speech to 8 delegation of Deutsch men, in which he said that he wanted order preserved in the ward, and that if heads must be clubbed to maintain order, the police must club them.
 An incident of the hearing was the searching in open court of all the de- fendants except Mayor Smith and William B. Finley for weapons The court said it was reported that one of the men might have pistol. All de- nied having any and none was found. 7 James I. Clark, an employe of the O'Farrell Detective agency, who ad- mits he steered the New York gun men about the ward on primary day, testified that he protested to Deutsch against the use of black jacks, and that Deutsch replied that the New York men could not fight the pick axe men from the tenth ward with their mouths
