ITALIAN AIRPLANES
 CARRYING 25 MEN
Capable of Travelling 900 Miles
 Without Halting

Newport, R. l., Sept. 1-Great aero- planes capable of carrying twenty live men apiece and of travelling more than 800 miles without stop have been developed by Italy, Major R. Perfetti, of the Royal Italian Fly ing Corps. said last night at a meet ing held here under the auspices of the National Special Aid society. He called for volunteers to subscribe the funds necessary to send the latest model across the Atlantic under it's own power. Such a demonstration would solve the U-boat problem, he declared. Major Perfetti is head of the Special Italian Aeronautic mis- sion in the United States.
 'I am glad to be able to say now,' he said. that there is a solution to this problem of aeroplane shipment at hand. and that the United States government or any group of patriotic Americans can test the plan which propose for few hundred thousand dollars-although I personally hope that not less than s5. 5.o0O,OOO will be set aside to undertake to carry out this plan, which consists of taking the latest Italian air cruisers, which can carry twenty y-five passengers, and building another even larger air cruiser, the designs of which have just been completed by the same Italian engineers who designed and built the twenty five passenger machine, and flying three machines across the At- Iautic.
 This would solve for good the problem of sending aeroplanes from rhe United States to the Allies, and whereas it is less than 500 miles from Great Britain to Kiel, Wilhelmshaven. Helgoland, Essen and other German U-boat and military bases. these air cruisers delivered from the United States to Europe by air line can then be sent to destroy the German bases.
 Italian genius developed the large Caproni rriplane, the fast Pomilio,

RIGA THREATENED

German Fleet About to Make Attack
 on Russian Port-Sweepers Clear
 ing Out Mines in Gulf.
 Petrograd, Sept. That the Ger man fleet is preparing to make an- other effort to force it's way into the Gulf of Riga appears evident from the fact that enemy mine sweepers have been operating at the mouth of the gulf, and that torpedo boats and U-boats have been sighted along the coast in the vicinity. Forty airplanes have raided islands in the gulf and dropped 90 bombs on ships of the fleet and harbor works Russian air men engaged the hostile machines.

GERMANS TO FORCE
 POLES INTO BATTLE
Army Raised in Occupied Terri
 tory Going to Italian Front

Lcndon, Sept. 1.-Tht German gov- ernment, acting in concert with Aus 1f1a, has decided to send the Polish army, raised in occupied territory, to The Italian fighting line, despite the protest of the Polish Council of state, which has been retired for questioning a military ruling of the Central Powers. The army levied in Poland since the creation of the Ger man sponsored Polish kingdom, con- sfsts almost entirely of Russian, sub- oects, with some additions iron. the Austrian Poles.
 DWlndl1ng man power in the Gen. tral empires is directly responsible for the action, according to a Copen- hagen dispatch, which quotes the
 Vosslche zeitung' as saying that military necessity compels the use of the Polish divisions on the Isonzo front. Practically. the same confess sion is made in a statement by the German Foreign Office to the 1a.so- c1ated Press which gives the general oHens1Ve' of the Allies as tho cause. This statement, conveyed by Berlin dispatch, follows:
 The general offensive n,w being carried on by our foes,'' the Foreign
 Office official declared, "also is anned at Poland, which, therefore. is given the opportunity to fight shoulder to
 should with us against the common
 enemy. For this purpose, a large
 number of troops composing the new
 ly organized legions have been placed at the disposal of Austria. A suff1- cient number of officers and instruc- tors have remained behind. however, n of iziro o the army.
 "As soon as the military situation
 warrants the Polish troops now at the
 front will return home.
 Tt is to be regretted that the Council Of State has made 9 pretext Of this measure, which was wholly dictated by military necessity. The | incident, however, will not interfere with German and Austrian plars for 1 esta blishing governmet that will permit Poland to enter the ranks of l independent powers"
 The Polish troops referred to are 1 doubtless those raised in Russi:n Po- l land after it had been conquered by l the Central Powers and tho recruit l ing of a so-called Polish army begun | F olish enlistments in this force arc | understood to have been limited, and l recently some of the units resigned
 rather tha be put into the field under 1 A,.s .stro-G German comrnar1.
 The 'Tae aeglinche Rundschau, of l Berlin, say Copenhagen advices. gives | a new version of the red son for the retirement of the Polish Council oi State, saying that instea of resign l ire 1t was dissolved because it ven 1 tured to present an ult1matum 10 rhe German government on military questions.
 The retirement of the Council has brought out the fact that at the con- fidential session of the Reichstag g Main Committee on Monday the ma jority parties demanded the estab- lishment of a really representative Assembly and a responsible Ministry in Poland-a step which the "Rund- schau' declares would lead to an immediate demand for the withdraw
 al of Germans from Poland.
 The pan-German newspapers have
 begun campaign for the abandon ment of the idea of Polish kingdom

arguing that the retirement of the Council gives favorable opportunity to undo the mistakes made in pro- claiming the establishment of the kingdom and since that time.

RECORD SEAT SALE
Fourth Annual Yamba Minstrel the
Greatest Success of All

When the sale of seats opened on
Monday morning for the Fourth An
nual Minstrel of the Yambas there
was long line in waiting and in
lust one hour and half the entire
house and a lot of extra seats were
sold out. Nothing like it in the line
of sale Of seats was ever known In
Lamar, and when the curtain went up
at $3.50 Tuesday evening every seat
was occupied, and all that could find
a place to crowd in an extra seat had
done so. 1t was a record crowd for
the opera house as well as record
sale.
An orchestra of nine pieces furnish
ed splendid musical program before
and during the performance, which
won much applause and appreciation
from the large audience. The min
strels this year for the first time in
cluded both ladies and gentlemen, and
was made up as follows:
Interlocutor-L. NJ. Markham.
Ends-Mrs. G. L. Carrico and Mrs.
Edw. Leigh, Messrs. Wooden, John
son, Christy and Harper.
Circle-Mesdame Faurote, Kirk
patrick. Skinner, johnson, Christy,

Davis, Lawless, Messrs. Carrico, Skin
ner, McGrath, Koonsman, Shanner,
Householder, Fox, Kirkpatrick, Pierce,
Leigh, Pyle, Gordon, Parrish, Smith,
Carrico, Lee.
Also three small couples, Misses
johnson, Campbell, Christy, and Mas
tiers Skinner, Faurote. and thinner
added much amusement to the pro-
gram.
The program was made up of
large number of the latest songs and
dances all finely rendered, and the
chorus especially was one Of the best
ever heard here. All the numbers
were so literally applauded and res
ponded to that it was a late hour when
the proram was completed. The ladies
especially developed a great amount
Of talent both in the songs and the
dances and all pronounced their addi-
ton to the program as the most i'm
portant feature of the evening.
The specialties by the Yamba girls
and others in the second part and the
grand cake walk at the conclusion were
all much enjoyed by the audience and
the enthusiasm was so great that
there was a general demand for a
repetition of the performance to enable
those who failed to get seats, and al
so many Of those who were there to
have another opportunity to hear
them. This was agreed and Thursday
evening of this week fixed as the
night Already the seat sale shows
that there will be another large crowd
present, and the fair and convention
fund of the Y. NJ. B. A. will recsive
big boost as a result Of the two
evenings entertainment and the large
ly patronized program.

Colorado Troops Stay

Most of the state militia organiza-

nent nature Of the camp of the Colo

will probably be kept down there all
