sctiviuy IN Gulf of Triest.
A naval bulletin from Italian head
quarters refers to intense activity Ia
the Gulf of Ifiest. While attention
is chiefly fixed on the two land fronts,
in Venetia and the Trentino, yet au-
thorities are not overlooking the fact
that the navy has a sea front on the
Adriatic which many experts believe
is the key to the whole situation in
the Austro-Italian war theater.
This front has undergone a sweep
ing change as withdrawal of the
Italian army to the new front west of
the Tagliamento river brings the
enemy into long stretch of the up
per Adriatic along the Gulf Of Triest
from Nonfalcone to the mouth of the

Abruzzi, had brilliantly taken the i'm

vast lagoon. giving occupation by the
Italian naval forces of the entire Gulf
front for 25 miles up to Nonfalcone,
whence they looked upon Triest as
the great prize of the upper Adriatic,
only few miles away.
These facts give significance to the
present intense activity/in this quarter
of the upper Adriatic. Naval authori-
ties believe the entente would do we'll
to consider quickly the naval posi-
bilities of the Adriatic, as it is MAIN
tained that it offers one of the surest
fields for the entente to deal de-
cisve blow
| The basis for this is that Austria
cannot possibly receive naval rein

whereas these routes are open to the

would be able to reduce the Austrian

st. Paul, Nov. 5.-Guards were

leaders here today while police investi-
gated the explosion which wrecked

terday.
The police theory is that pro-Ger-
man was responsible for the explosion
in revenge for the reading of pastoral
letters in behalf of war activities. De-
tectives say that an export in the
making of bombs prepared the one
which caused the explosion and that
dynamite rather than nitro-glyccrine
was the explosive used.
It was said that threatening letters
have been received in the last eight
months by Father Anthony Ogalin, the
pastor of St. Agnes, whose parishion-
ers are largely Of German lineage.
