Brazil Enters
War; to Seize
German Ships
Senate. Unanimous for Hos
---r .---.sI.
tilities; Only One Dep
uty Opposed

RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct 26.-Presi-
dent Braz has sanctioned the proclama-
tion of state of war with Germany.
The Chamber Of Deputies to-day by
an almost unanimous vote declared that
a state of war existed between Ger
many and Brazil. TIE vote was 149 to l..
The Senate unanimously approved the
Presidents proclamation of state Of
war.
The tribunes Of the chamber were
filled to capacity. After debate on the
opportuneness of proclaiming martial
law, the president of the Diplomatic
Commission spoke in favor of law
worded as follows:
"A state of war between Brazil and
Germany is hereby acknowledged and
proclaimed. The President of the re-
public is authorized to adopt the meas
ures enunciated in his message of the
25th of October. and to take all steps
tending to insure national defence and
public security"
The virtually unanimous vote Of the
Deputies was received with general ac-
clamation.
According to the newspapers torpedo
boat destroyers have received orders
to proceed to Bahia and take possession
of the German gunbost Eber, which has
been lying there for some time.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-While all
indications have pointed recently to a
declaration of hostilties by Brazil
against Germany, official notice Of ac-
tion taken was lacking tonight by the
State Department and the Brazilian En-
bassy. Both were inclined to credit the
advices, however.
Significance is attached not so much
TO what Brazil can accomplish as to the
sentiment its action shows in South
American countries, where German
propaganda, aided through Spanish
channels, has been strong. The more
optimistic officials hope now for de-
cisive action By Argentina. and with
these two continental leaders in the
fray the lesser countries are expected
to fall in line.
Brazil is the eighteenth nation to
declare war on Germany. Eight others
have broken diplomatic relations with
the imperial German government.
Military service is obligatory on
every Brazilian from twenty-one TO
forty-fve years of age. The army's
n rcndarmsrie Of 10000 The nayy
consists of two dreadnoughts, two
small cruisers. two coast defence ships
two monitors, five gunboats. ten de-
stroyers, four torpedo boats. a mine
ship and three submarines.

Cadorna Evacuates Balm
sizza Plateau; 10000
Men Captured
Boselli Cabinet,
Defeated, Resigns
Deputies Refuse Vote of
Confidence by Over
whelming Ballot

LONDON, Oct. 25.-The Austro-Ger-
mans have begun the invasion Of Italy
csdorns's lines have been broken west
Of Fitch and Tolmino. on the Julian
front and the Teuton armies are now
lighting at many places on Italian SOIL
according to the German War once
With their northern flank turned the
Italians have also begun the evacuation
Of the Bainsizza Plateau. The fruits
of many months of hard fighting have
been wrested from Cadorna almost in
one mighty stroke.
The number of prisoners taken by
the great Austro-German armies now
driving forward along front Of some
tb;rty-fve miles on both sides Of the
Isorzo has increased 10 more than
10000. according to Berlin. This was
the exact number of prisoners taken
bv Cadorna in the great operations
that won for him the Bainsizza Plateau.
The booty Of the last three days is
placed BY the German War Office at
more than 800 guns. heavy and light.
Rome Admits Reverse
Rome admits tonight a withdrawal
Of the Italian forces. between Monte
Msggiore and Auzza. to the frontier
and a retirement from the Bainsizza
Plateau. The enemy forces here have
passed to the west of Ronzina and Kar-
freit, on the further bank of the Ison-
10, and apparently are across the bord-
rat its extreme eastern point. direct
ly west of Tolmino, Santa Lucia and
the northern END of the Bainsizza
Plateau. Attempts TO hold their shat
tered front on the hills forming the
frontier in this section evidently
proved too much for the Italians, who,
despite British and French reinforce
ments, are facing forces far superior
numerically and in the matter OF
heavy artillery.
Retire Westward
From the region Of Fitch and Saga
southwark to the southern part O. the
Bainsizza Plateau the Italian armies
are retiring westward in great haste.
The retreat undoubtedly is swinging
from Monte San Gabrielle and Monte
San Daniele as pivots, and the Italians
will make every effort 10 cling to these
strongholds. which alone protect Go
rizia and the whole front southward
to the sea. The natural defences of
these positions on the Lower Isonzo
are stronger than they are TO the north,
and the Italians are so well blasted in
that there is little danger Of their
losing their hold.
Their defeat in the three days Of the
offensive has been as great as it was
unexpected. however, and even if the
Teutons are checked q short distance
within the border l. will be long time
before the Italians recover from the
blows they have already received All
hope Of further Italian offensive opera
tions on the lsonzo this year is doomed
and the Austrian situation has been
saved for the time being.

Preparing for Retreat
Bauarians Complain That
They Are Being Sacrificed

LONDON, Oct. 26.-Reuter's CORE.
spondent at British Headquarters in
Belgium, in a dispatch received this
evening, says:
"The Bavarians appear TO be bearing
the brunt of the Flanders fighting and
are openly complaining that the Prus-
slams are sacrificing them.
"The German barrage to-day was err
ratio, the shells finging up columns OF
spray from patches of water. As a
result the British casualties were very
light.
"Most Of the prisoners taken were
poor and shuddering. The more intel
iigent of them were of the unanimous
opinion that Germany has only a
chance fer a tolerable peace, but, they
feel that the winter will tell terTi-
Bile tale in the Fatherland. They said
;hey had been told that England was
in as bad plight as Germany in the
matter Of food, but that they did not
believe il. All the men agreed that
the invincible German military ma

sYpnlv of sugar for the first tei
months of 1917 has EXCEEDED that
for the corresponding period OF 1916.
Vet there was no sugar famine in 1916.
The uprising in Cuba last February
is blamed in that il caused heavT
speculative trend in the sugar market
G" that vast quantities of sugar were
bought at inflated prices here. Inc
price of Cuban sugar went up from
S533 per 100 pounds, New YORK de-
livery. in January, to S6.52 in April.
Senator Broussard, of Louisiana, is
blamed for having introduced a clause
into the war revenue bill to aorogate
the drawback on sugar, amounting 10
one cent a pound. IN addition, 1t was
proposed TO put an excise tax OF one
half cent per pound OH export as well
as domestic sugar. According 10
statement issued by Earl ID. Babst
president of the American Sugar Rehn-
ing Company, about month ago, these
proposals started rush of sugar buy
ing in Cuba. Sugar rose to S7.52 per
hundred pounds, while England and
other countries leaped forth TO buy up
all the sugar they could get in Cuba
Three months later, in September,
Mr. Babst states, "the Senate by over
whelming votes rejected its committees
plan, but the damage had already been
done"

ders took up the attack this morning
and struck sledge-hammer blows
against the German lines along front

were limited, but success was achieved
all along the line.
The French troops crossed the
swollen Jansbeck and Coverbeck
streams, with the water up to their
shoulders, swung westward through the
southern fringe Of Houtholst Forest
and captured the village of Draibank,
Papegoed Wood and numerous forti-
fed farms, taking two hundred prison

Germans Dug Out of Shelters

Germans Dug Out of Shelters
Further south. toward Gheluvelt and
the Menin highway, Haig's troops over
ran Poelderhoek chateau after furious
lighting there. amid the nests of Ger
man machine guns there, accomplishing
their task by o'clock. In all these op-
erations the British captured some 500
prisoners, being forced TO dig most of
them out OF strongly defended dugouts
and other shelters.
Apparently Haig made no attempt to
extend his gains TO Gheluvelt or beyond
the positions taken by the Allied forces.
The action was in the nature of prep
aration for future operations of greater
magnitude, which undoubtedly will
have for their detectives Gheluyelt and
the remainder of the Passchendaele
Ridge, as we'll as the completion of the
flanking operation around Houtholst
Forest, to the north.
While these actions were going on
Petain's forces thrust forward again
into the Crown Princes lines along the
valley Of the Athletic, capturing the
village Of Filain, which had hitherto
withstood the onrush, and driving the
disorganized columns of the enemy to
the north Of La Chappelle Ste. Berthe,
across the river and the Disc Canal,
which runs beside the Athlete through
out this sector. The number OF guns
captured in the last four days was In
creased to 160, while the toll of pris-
oners was also swelled.
Germans Admit Withdrawal
The German War Once admits to-
night that the Crown Princes lines at
this point have been withdrawn across
the Athletic. but asserts that all at
tempts of the French to drive over the
lowlands to the northern bank have
failed.
AT other points on the battlefield"
the statement adds, "our lines have
been withdrawn in accordance with our
plans"
Every foot of ground wrenched from
the Germans in this sector has weak
ened more and more the whole salient
between St. Quentin and Craonne and
the Crown Princes position is now ex-
tremely precarious. In the same way
each new British thrust east and north
east of Ypres is endangering still fur
ther the German hold on the territory
between the coast and Lille. On the
two most vital salients of the Western
front Haig and Petain are striking al
ternate blows of irresistible power
that daily bring nearer the inevitable
retirement of the enemy to the from
tier.
And Hindenburg cannot withdraw his
front at one of these points without
withdrawing it at the other, fact
which the Allied strategy has taken
into confederation throughout the cam
paign.
Preparing for Retreat
German military writer's already are
preparing the public for withdrawal,
It appears. Lieutenant General Won
Ardenne, expert of the Berlin "Tage-
blatt," in discussing the French vic
tory on the Aisne, says that, although
the chances of ultimate French success
there are slight. at is we'll to remem-
Der that the German plan Of defence
does not forbid voluntary abandon
mert, under proper circum stances, of
territory not essential to the great
tactical plan, so that losses may be
reduced. Even the loss of Laon" he
adds, "would not alter the strategic
situation of the Germans"
