DAVENPORT HAS ALLY
IN PUBLISHER PAGE
Candidate, in Turning Other
Cheek for Voters to Slap,
Files Libel Suit.

As the initial step I'm announcing
his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for congress James S.
Davenport has filed libel suit
against The World and Congressman
Bert Chandler for $4,000 each
charging that the publication of the
official records in which he was in
dicted for introducing Intoxicating
liquor into the old Indian Territory
and also tried for numbering poor
woodchopper in the early days, re-
suited in defeating him for congress
a year and a half ago.
Davenport Is candidate for the
Democratic nomination again. The
only time he ever gained any national
prominence while he was in congress
was when he undertook to defeat the
bill backed by President Wilson pro-
viding for the building of a govern
ment railroad in Alaska which was
bitterly opposed by the Guggenheim
interests who were endeavoring to
monopolize the coal fields which
would be opened up by the govern
ment road.
During the debate on the floor of
the house OF representatives. In order
to discredit Representative Wicker
sham OF Alaska, who had charge of
the bill, Davenport undertook to read
into the records private correspond
ence which could only have been Sc
cured from the files OF the Guggen-
helms. II acted as boomerangue
on Davenport and the grilling no re-
ceived at the hands of Representative
Wickersham was one of tho most
notable incidents that has ever oc-
Cured in the halls of congress.
The Guggenheims own several
smelters in the First congressional
district which Davenport aspires to
again misrepresent in congress. A
significant fact connectd with his
belated suit against The World and
Congressman Chandler is the fact
that the attorneys representing him
are the private attorneys for Charles
Page.

The official bulletin says they were

While the newspapers have played
up the capture of the Americans In
their headlines the only comment is
made by the Local Anzeiger under the

newspaper goes on: Three cheers for

1t cannot be denied Scarcely have

this extent they will be obliged to re-
cede from their former standard OF
living. They probably will become
reconciled to this for soldering is ever

find comfort in the thot that they are
rendering their almighty president,
Mr.. Wilson, valuable services, mas
much as it is asserted he is anxious to
obtain reliable information concerning
conditions and sentiments in bellig-
erent countries.
"In this way he will obtain first

"As Americans are accustomed to
travel in luxury and comfort we as

merely represent couriers for larger
numbers to follow. We are sure the

Look here, my boy, here is the big
firm of Hindenburg * CO., with which
you want TO compete. Look at its
accomplishments and consider whether
it would not be better to haul down

reconsider his newest line of business
before we grab off more of his young

NAVY IS
PLAYING BIG PART
Important Strategic Point of
Grado Falls to Attack of
Adriatic Fleet.
BY The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY, Saturday, Nov
"a naval bulletin last night re-
ferrcd to intense activity in Gulf of
Triest In this connection II may be
pointed out that while attention is
chiefly fixed on the two land fronts
in Nenetia and the Trentino, yet the
authorities are not overlooking the
fact that the navy has sea front
on the Adriatic which many experts
believe is the key to the whole situa-
ton III the Austro Italian war thcater.
This front has undergone a sweep
ing change within the last few days
as the withdrawal of the Italian army
TO the new front west of the Taglia-
mento river lrines the enemy into a
long stretch of the upper Adriatic eX-
tending along the Gulf of Triest from
Monfalcone to the mouth OF the Tag
liamento.
I.aly Controls Gulf.
The Italian navy In the Adriatic, ua
der command of the Duke of Abruzzi
haG brilliantly taken the important
naval strategic point Of Grado and its
vast lagoon, thus enabling occupa-
tion by the Italian naval forces of the
entire gulf front for 25 miles up to
Monfalconc, whence they looked out
upon Trieste as the great prize of the
upper Adriatic, only few miles away
These facts give significance to the
preseLt intense activity in this quar-
ter OF the upper Adj iatic. as it has
been suggested that the naval front
may yet become the turning point in
the present titanic struggles. 1t is the
view of the naval authorities that the
entente would do well t. consider
quickly and thoroly the naval pos.
sibilties of the Adriatic, as il is
maintained that it offers one of the
surest fields for the entente to deal
a decisive blow.
German Aid Cut Oh.
The basis for this is that Austria
Can not possibly receive naval REIN
forcements from Germany as all the
sea routes are controlled by the en-
tente, whereas these routes are open
to permit the entente to assemble a
fleet which would make the reduc-
ton of the Austrian fleet certainty
The chief rel:arce of the Austrian
navy is in keeping its big ships under
cover and thus far no important unit
has been destroyed, yet with the en-
tente fleets reinforcing the Italian
fleet in the Adriatic, naval experts say
tho, hydroaeroplanes could drive the
Austrian ships from their hiding place
AID bring them within range of the
combined entente fleets
Once the Austrian cleet Is de-
stroyed, I is pointed out. Austrian
mastery of the Adriatic disappears, as
the whole range of the coast, includ-
ing Trieste. would be under control of
the Italian and other entente fleets.

EUen Pope Must Not Try
For Peace at the Present

ROME, Nov. 4.-The gravity of the
situation and the fusion of all parties
into one national entity determined, at
all odds, to drive the enemy from the
mother soil. apparently, according to
high officials, has reached even the
vatican, where 1t is realized it is ad-
visable to abandon any efforts toward
peace, for the present at least.
The leaders in the Catholic party
have made declarations of their sup
port to united Italy in the supreme
struggle. and 1t Is said in official quar-
ters that the vatican has been in
formed that for the moment any atti-
tude which might be considered to run
counter to the national aspirations
would be most unwelcome.
